Varane Nacho next game I guess
Same. Miki has more assists in each individual game than all of last year, Martials scored 2 and got an assist in like 20 minutes of play and Pogba chipped in too. We need 50-60 ish goals from the rest of the team to get a decent result this season and they've started in the right direction. But it's early.
Having a successful season in any league isn't about winning every game in playing beautiful football for 90 minutes, if it was Arsenal would have won more titles.
Sometimes you'll play like shit and lose or draw. Doing it and getting 3 points is important. It's also important to do it against all teams as if you only win the big games and nothing else you get nowhere at all.
I'm not for a second saying we're going to win the league, I think City have to be clear favourites.
But we're scoring goals, we're keeping clean sheets and we're winning and scoring in games that have fucked us over time and again for 4 years. It's only 2 games in so it could easily go to shit for the next 36.
I don't think it's wrong to feel better about this team and this season than at any point since Fergi left though.
It's like Conte hit randomise on formation selector.
EPL is a league so void of any kind of tactics that even Conte has to adapt to it.

Why does he wear the mask!?
(hahaha)start the video at 1m20s if you have no time, shit is intense.
Barça tomorrow will announce they will pay the €40M release clause in the following hours.
23 just in Real Madrid (18 in LaLiga) according to AS.

Marcos Alonso is on track to becoming the next Gareth Bale.
I can't wait for the day when Ramos finally retires. Seriously.

When it comes to the Champions League, he/she's not entirely wrong.
And LOL Arsenal.
Semi-finals is the best EPL clubs can get after 2012.
And LOL Arsenal.
It was a drive-by shitpost, don't think about it too much.

Arsenal and Mexico sure love exiting in the round of 16.
I wouldn't show my face in public again after giving up a goal like that.

Edit: Lashley is almost 10% of the posts in this thread lmao.
Quality is not what EPL is selling. It is the drama where even the top teams is shit which is why some random team can win the league.
It will be damn hard to see some random team winning other league from Serie A, La Liga or bundesliga.
Serie A will hopefully overtake La Liga and Bundesliga this year with investments at Milan and Inter, and hopefully Napoli and Roma challenging again.

The "EPL" (Urgh!) is only bad because of all these foreign managers and their foreign players and their foreign philosophies.
We need that BRITISH SPUNK back.
Brexit can't come soon enough.

As long as FIGC incompetent twat is still up there, i cant see any improvement for the league.
Considering us in Asia still need to stay awake till 1:00AM to even watch a single match, it wont attract any Asia audience even when many SEA fans is die hard Serie A fans.
Also, i dont bet on Roma this year. They are going to drop from top 4 or just stay close to top 4 this season. They are weakening their team by selling their player while there is no clear replacement.

If you think that will make any difference to the PL you are delusional.

I'm fairly certain that he wasn't serious.
What was the big change from the era before that, 2005-09... when EPL teams did quite well in Europe? Was it really the injection of wealth in Man City that really destabilised the top teams?

Not really IMO, it's less about the British teams becoming worse and more about Real, Barca and Bayern getting really good. Barca assembled one of the best teams of all time and Real spent a lot of money on some really good players. Since 2009, these teams have won 7 of the 9 Champions Leagues.

Are Everton still interested in Aboubakar? The guy scored a hat-trick this weekend against a bunch of scrubs also known as the Portuguese league.
Time to sell him for €60M.
After Neymar statements, I'm sensing that the Barça board might not be there for long because I'm sure Neymar wasn't the only one feeling that way about them. If I had to bet there are going to be changes after the deadline goes and they don't get the players they promised where going to be closed within hours.
