The Official 2018/19 Premier League Thread

Just reading a bit of Red Cafe, seems like they all want him gone now. Amazing all the money they have spent in recent seasons and they still need so much work.

Saying that, a good coach would get much more from a midfield that contains Mata, Martial, Pogba. For a start, a good coach might pick them to start games. Then said coach might actually back those players instead of qunting them off whenever possible. A quality centre-half and forward added to those players mentioned and hey presto, you have a team better than Arsenal.

Liverpool are simply miles better than United. 19 points above them! I’m not even worried about united catching us. It’s been us, scum and Chelsea for 3rd.

That's the one upside from this result. We're now down to a three-club race for the last two top four positions and we can handle ourselves in this fight. Never expected Spurs to challenge for the top spot this year, yet we're not out of the picture and heading into a stretch of games against lower-placed sides.

I'm always amused to hear the lazy, cliché-obsessed pundits say that United should buy Pochettino.

As if a bright man in a great situation would drop all that to dive into the United cesspool. #fcukwitsenregalia
 
The flip side of that is, that if you do take the United job, there is really only one way you can take them, and it’s probably a good time to get concessions of control from the ownership.
 
I don’t think Poch would turn United down. Regardless of how bad they are now they are still the biggest club in the country and they honestly can’t get much worse so the job is nowhere near as daunting as it would have been after SAF left. Let’s not kid ourselves he’d be backed financially too.

As for Liverpool, they are where they are on merit. They’ve had some luck in the big games, Mahrez missing a penalty in injury time against them comes to mind. Emirates Marketing Project have arguably been the best team but they also deservedly lost to Chelsea. That’s why they are below Liverpool.

I think Emirates Marketing Project will win it but it will be close between those two.

The press seem very conflicted about what narrative to take. They are torn between the Liverpool tossfest and the United train wreck. If Liverpool are so good, why is United losing 3-1 at Anfield so bad? If United are so bad, what is so special about beating them at home. A team at the top should expect to beat a team closer to the bottom than the top. And any team should consider a visit to the team at the top of the table a difficult fixture.

Were we arrogant? I don't remember that at all.. In fact from my memory the media were gagging for us to finish second or lower so they could slap us with the bottlers tag.

Still it explains why Leicester view us as their cup final. fudging 'league winners' still manage to constantly act like sore losers.

You know, i wonder if Huth is confusing us with Arsenal?

It depends on if wants to roll the dice at this time.
I think he is creating something which could cement his high standing within the games for the rest of his management career. Not sure he needs the turbulence that is going on a United at the moment.
They need a complete restructuring of the club from being a shirt and memorabilia retailer back to being a football club.

Liverpool have had an amazing start to the season, their best ever. And they are only just infront. Brilliant to be top, though must be a bit disheartening to not be a good few points clear. One slip and City take over again.

Then let's hope they've got someone on hand to remind them not to let it slip

Gerrard is lucky that it always gets referred to as the slip. It wasn't the slip that gave the chance, it was the poor first touch. The slip may have prevented him getting a chance to redeem himself with a tackle, but wasn't the key error.

It is strangely mesmerising, isn't it? :D
