Not surprised how we started: away from home with a weakened squad. So we were always gonna play cautiously.

I am surprised it has remained goalless so far. Martinelli offers absolutely nothing. Zero! Zilch!

We looked terrible. I told people, relying on Saka and Odegaard to be injury free again in a long season is bad squad building. Those two are the key to our goal scoring. Everyone else is a cog, they’re the engine.

Defensively it’s fine since we have 1000 quality defenders to choose from now, but our forward and midfield play is atrocious

I might need a resident English football expert to correct me if I’m wrong on this statement but in the past 10 years, hasn’t it been the same 7-8 clubs that mainly yo-yo in and out the Prem?

Soton, Burnley, Norwich, Watford, Sheffield etc

Fair point on affirmative action but Kompany was Bayern’s 6th choice for manager. Hell, they went to Oliver Glasner before Kompany. Not exactly like they were chomping at the bits for breh.


Would Vini even go? I heard he’s not gonna take it.

The Championship is like top 5-6 in attendance in the world.

Parachute payments. Tom Brady The Double R's at Wrexham. The York family and Ferrell at Leeds.

How many teams you know got 25k+ stadiums in the 3rd tier? Elsewhere in the world?

I doubt Vini goes to Saudi. But feelings do get hurt in various ways.

I don't know if I can defend Martinelli anymore.:francis: I want to see him with Merino in the left 8, but let me see him run in the box like this 1 more time

Bundesliga 2 teams play in some huge capacity stadiums as well.

Man like Iago Aspas.

Glad to see Celta is not in a relegation dog fight to start the season. They play too good of football to be in LaLiga2.

Valencia, however, is struggling. Peter Lim gotta go before the unthinkable happens :snoop: :mjcry:
