Everton bottom 10. Again. 

 

Relegation Positions.

 

18) Villa/ Newcastle/ Sunderland: Think one of those three will go. Undecided on who but order of who I think is most likely. 

19) Norwich City.

20) Watford.

Everton bottom 10. Again. 

 

I kicked around sending them down, but no Europa league will help them in the league, conceivably anyway.

 

Definitely bottom 10, though.

I think City is overrated and underrated at the same time if that makes sense lol

 

They just gave Pelligrini an extension through 2017 this morning, too.  Should get interesting in the blue half of Manchester if they continue their form of the end of last year.

GHH has City 2nd and Arsenal 3rd so I know I'm right now!

You actually think Everton could be relegated? We had a rough year last year but that seems a little farfetched at this point.

 

You flirted last year and did little to improve.  I think Bournmouth and Norwich both stay up... so two have to go outside of Watford. 

 

What did you guys do in the offseason to get better? 

De Gea dropped tomorrow for 'not being focused enough' LMAO. And the new fella' can't speak a word of English. 

 

 

How is it that EVERYONE except LVG sees that this kid was making saves that rivaled the Capitals own Braden Holtby last year?

 

I mean, re-watch the first match where they beat us 3-0... could've easily been 5-3 Liverpool if not for De Gea.

Who's your world top XI right now? Mine certainly has an EPL bias.

 

4-3-3

 

----Ronaldo--Messi--Suarez

--------Ozil----Iniesta

---------Mascherano

Zabaleta--Kos--Hummels--Ivanovic

-----------Neuer

 

Frankly, I like fullbacks to be solid defensively. I'm okay with these glorified wingers playing fullback. I think Ivanovic and Zaba provide enough offense.

I think there is still one big move out there. If Chelsea get either Pogba or De Bruyne they win. Same with Arsenal and Benzema. If everyone stays the same, I think it's Arsenal's year. If De Ghea leaves United, they will drop out of the top 4.

Rodgers says Joe Allen will be out for 3 to 4 weeks with a hamstring strain. #LFClfc.png

Injury gods have intervened on Rodgers' behalf...

You guys are ****ing hilarious....


Milner named vice-captain and Sturridge back in early-September (for the first time) per BR's presser.

I was trying to fit Hazard in, but, to me, he's redundant to Ronaldo. 

I didn't put together a best team, but the best players. I have way too many attacking players and not enough willing defenders. I know the Coutinho v Ozil debate that exists in this thread, the reality is that Hazard is not only better than both, he is the best player in the EPL.

There really is no debate when you bring stats into it but I agree on the Hazard point

Stats aren't everything. Do I need to show you that stats the show that Joe Allen is better than Schweinstieger again? No sane person believes that Joe Allen is better that Schweinstieger...not even Joe's mom...

                 Neuer
Lahm  Godin Chiellini Alaba 
                 Kroos 
Ronaldo     Messi     Hazard
         Suarez   Neymar

 

They'd win games on an average scoreline of 8-3 I reckon.

Also PL predictions..

 

1. Chelsea

2. Arsenal

3. Man City

4. Man Utd

5. Liverpool

6. Spurs

 

18. Bournemouth ( I like a lot of their signings but not convinced by what they have upfront and they lack a bit of that toughness for me. Not convinced they can worm their way out of a relegation battle though pretty football)

19. Aston Villa (Whole spine of the team gone, can't see anything else bar a mighty struggle)

20. Watford (Think Troy Deeney may be this years Austin/Ings but can't see it being enough, they'll be more or less certs to go down by christmas I reckon)


3 goals against that squad? Would the other team even touch the ball?

Hopefully not!

 

Its prob just a bit unrealistically gung-ho. Left the defense a bit isolated!

Give me Muller/Lewandowski for Neymar.

Marcello for Alaba

Courtois for Neuer... yeah, I said it.

I rally wanted to put Chiellini in my 11. How can you have a best 11 without an Italian defender? It came down to him and Hummels...

Now just think if you found a space  for the Yorkshire Figo in there? Double figures EVERY game!

 

HAill.

This time last year Hummels would definitely be in there. Didn't have the best of seasons last year though. Gone with the more in form Chiellini for now. Could easily swap them back depending though!

Said I'd leave the impact sub role to himself and Delph!
