Nah forreal tho, why is Lampard this bad?

Hasn't learnt his Derby lessons. They were pretty bad at defending. He changed the system in Jan of that season and they got a bit better. But were still flawed.

Apart from season 1 of Carlo, Chelsea always been a better solid defence and countering team. Also they have the problem that many teams have, which is a lack of leaders who'll roll their sleeves up. That is one part of Mourinhos Chelsea legacy that gets overlooked. Even tho he left after 3 seasons and 4-5 games of season 4. That team had an autopilot feel to it. You can change the coach but the squad mentality and ability to fight stayed the same.

Bayern are down 2-0 to Mainz. :why:

I can’t predict any of the leagues this season.

The usual teams will win the league debt worry about that. It's just the big teams are having an issue of trying to navigate the fixture schedule with the recovery and lack of time on the training pitch. All the teams in European competition basically been playing every 3-4 days. The Christmas break for some leagues is the first time certain teams have more than 4 days off this season.

Juventus definitely aren’t winning Serie A this season. Madrid looking a bit shaky and Barca are way off the pace. Who knows who will win the EPL? Bayern are the only usual suspects right now.

But I hear what you’re saying.
