Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

They still rely on Aguero a lot for goals, he is gonna start showing some age soon. Liverpool is the younger team and will have money to depend the squad

Sterling is coming into his own. Jesus will replace Aguero... worst case scenario, they’ll spend millions on a top CF. I really don’t seen City struggling for a good couple of years.

Pep is too strong when it comes to winning the league. It’s the Champions League that’s proving to be his Achilles heel.

The deflection.

We got eliminated on a handball, it's not like you know, we had a 10 point lead and didn't win.

Just wait for the final and be gracious. Your team bottled it.

No you got eliminated because you gave 3 goals at home to a team missing their best player. Your friend VAR confirmed this. Total bottlejob.

Whether Liverpool bottled the league can be debated, but if Spurs snatch CL from them?

I wouldn't wish an L of that magnitude on anyone.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Ehhh...not sure about that. The financial divide between Juve and the rest of Italy really doesn't exist like that in the EPL.



Was gonna allude to this as well. City gonna need to replace his goals. At the moment G. Jesus ain't cutting it.

Do you genuinely believe you’ll challenge City for the title next season?

 

[Premeditated]

City are going to dominate the league like Juventus for the next few seasons. Liverpool did incredible to push them all the way but I doubt it will be as close next season.

eh not really, if they get another midfield who is excellent with the ball (Ndombele, Aouar) I think they can be right back in the title race because that was the only area City is better than them at personnel wise.

It’s easy when you have endless financial resources. VAR next season will cost pool at least 10 points with salads diving antics and offside goals

Oh yeah, we lose on June 1st and it's hunting season for LFC supporters in this thread. I'm steering clear.

Like I give a fukk about a League Cup final from 2 years ago when we're 7 points ahead of ya.

Money's a factor; it's just not the only factor. We spent 70 million on our keeper but only 35 on Salah. 75 million for Virgil but only 8 for Robertson. A large portion of our spending came from selling Suarez and Coutinho.

 

[Yayo Toure]

Liverpool 7 points ahead
Looks like this year is finally their year

 

[Spade]

that crystal palace loss

 

[Yayo Toure]

Ya’ll nikkas posts gonna age horribly when we win the league by a point

 

[phillycavsfan]

Do you genuinely believe you’ll challenge City for the title next season?

Win? Not so sure. Challenge? Of course. Only thing I fear is possible Klopp burnout like what happened at Dortmund. Otherwise we should be in the thick of it.

Congrats to Man City supporters!

And though I know second place often gets derisively called "first loser," but nah, fukk that today. Congrats to Liverpool supporters for an all-time great season too. TBH, I hope it ends in a major trophy for y'all too. It deserves one.

I know United has been struggling but I really haven't been paying attention to them lately....I see Cardiff went to Old Trafford and got a 2-0 result?

*Slim Charles voice*

18th place Cardiff?
Relegated side Cardiff?
24 loss Cardiff?
