Looks like I was right about Leeds, they're going down or will around relegation.

They're not clinical, and they have to be with that defense. They got away with it last season, but eventually it was gonna catch up to them.

I mentioned it earlier in this thread, but Chelsea wasted money on Lukaku imo. Havertz would have been capable of holding down the CF position for ……. Lukaku is a better finisher

Trimmed your quote but the bolded is why they went for Lukakau. I agree with you that their brand of football will ensure goals by committee, but in those pressure cooker games where you have only one or two clear chances, you need a clinical finisher.

That UCL SFs against Real should have been at least a 6-1 over two legs with a proper finisher.

Even that UCL final, with a better finisher they bang in 1-2 more goals.

You correct about keeping their powder dry for another season but for Big Vic :ufdup:

If you know you know :wow:

Napoli for the scudetto, Big Vic for the Capocannoniere

Tuchel doesn't have the luxury of waiting for Havertz/Werner to get it. He needed a proven scorer. If he doesn't challenge like make it till the end of the April for the Prem or make semis/retain CL he getting the sack.

All of this essentially

Next time Norwich wins the Championship, they should be like “Nah, we’re good down here”

:mjlol::mjlol:

Dudes come up just to go back down.

Does seem like a well run club though :ehh:

Raphinha is too good for Leeds

He’ll be gone next summer I’m sure. Wouldn’t be surprised if he went to Barca.

I still think they stay up, but just barely

Raphinha out.
Kalvin Phillips is one thing but losing Raphinha? :picard:
