Given that Leicester's form at the end of last season carried on into this one, I thought I'd post this. I wonder if this will tell us anything about how some teams might perform in the next campaign? I'd say that it probably works better as a warning to a few of those getting comfortable. Watford have been safe for ages, but their form's awful. The same applies to Palace. Chelsea and Swansea have clearly improved under new management. Not good reading for Wenger or Martinez, though. Have Liverpool got any better under Klopp? Hard to tell. They're 8th in that table, but have only played 14 games. One more win would dramatically improve their position.
If fate and Leicester deny us the title, I'd be very proud of this young team having the best record in the second half of the season.
Not so much Newcastle as they've been there or thereabouts all season, but Palace have been shockingly awful since the turn of the year.
It tells me that : - Leicester have indeed done what Chelsky did in the 2nd half of last season - with 5 games to go, certain teams should be VERY mindful of the teams placed 3/4/8 in that table.
To have accrued 3 points more than West Brom over 15 games at the business end of the season is staggeringly poor. West Brom regularly fail to have a shot on target. Are we sure this is right?
8 draws in the first half of the season have cost us but its been very impressive since ,hopefully it carrys in to next season and we actually start quickly for a change
I posted a similar picture to him on another thread, suggesting it as a new career for him. I can see why anyone who missed that might be a little confused by his post.
You're making literally exactly the same point I was making in that, from a certain date, you've been better than others at something.
Never realised how poor Watford had been in the second half of the season. They could face a tough summer as well because after Ighalo's season, it wouldn't surprise me if he had a few suitors. I think next season will be a good time to judge Klopp and Pool, last year in Poch's first reign we witnessed a number of changes to the side and a different philosophy being implemented, so I think with a summer window and pre-season training, that'll be when Klopp will look to work his magic. Was pretty gutted he went to them as I do think he's a superb manager. Think Martinez could be in big trouble, Lukaku has bailed Everton out a lot this year and I can't see him wanting to stay there for next season, he's too good to not be challenging for at least a Europa spot and Everton are looking far off from being that competitive again. West Ham, Stoke and Soton are all ahead of them now in terms of first XI strength in my opinion - the table backs that up too. A lot of work needs to be done to their side, Howard's off in the Summer, Baines, Jagielka and Barry have seen their best years and if Lukaku does ask to leave, it leaves them in a really ****ty situation. They may be a surprise outside bet for relegation next season. There's nothing mentioned about Spurs but even if PNP wanted to imply something about Tottenham, this IS the Spurs board. Starting to worry for you, AK, this obsession with us is really taking over your mind.
