Match Day Thread 2016/17 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Ahh right, City then I actually think they will be top 4 but not winners.

 

Yep, I enjoy a good game where players put in a good shift

 

I think City will start to pull away from everyone. They've hit a rough patch but they'll get back to winning ways in no time and they've got miles more attacking quality than anyone else in the league with De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Aguero etc. and they've got the best coach/manager in modern history.

 

You must be concerned looking at the table Diego? Early days, but the signs are not good

 

Nope, if we are 10 points adrift (of top 4 not top) come January I will be very concerned. I expect us to get (or at least be very close like last year) top 4 but it will be hard this season because there are 5 other teams with very good squads.

 

Which of the 6 teams above you doesn't?

 

I keep saying Utd are not out of this, dont get me wrong i enjoyed todays result, but it is gnawing away at me that we will have results like that and all this will come back and it is only 6 points.
At the level these top sides are playing at I do think the fact that Utd playing 3 games in 7 days could have been contributary ( just like i think the int break effected both sides on Monday ) compared to Chelsea's two in 8/9.
I have always liked Mourihnio - still do, his interviews are funny, though he has seemed a bit sombre these past two years in our league, think madrid took a lot out of him. He has always been the ultimate wum, and unlike others he clearly says things with tongue in cheek. Few years ago i would have loved him at Liverpool, obviously not so much now
Utd are not buried yet, though that performance would have worried me. Think the LC game could be very intersesting now as think both teams need the win.

 

I think City are light in squad depth and have a defence similar to yours or ours (we shall see how good Pep is this season). Arsenal have a very good squad except for defence, two injury's and they could struggle. Spurs are a bit lacking in attack but the midfield are chipping in with goals, with Kane back firing they are as good as anybody. Chelsea seem to have found a style that suits them and have a pretty strong squad

 

Everton, not calling them in any way but the depth of squad is very poor.

 

They had the same easy start as you then the wheels flew off too. It will be a good battle for the EL between you two.

Everton v Man Utd final PL position bet @Diego v @Tobes ?

 

Yet your flying, massive 5 and 6 point gaps. What gap did you have over Chelsea a few games back?

 

Don't know, I only pay attention to the gap to those above us not behind us. Which is now closed to zero points.

 

I love it when you do this to yourself.

 

Well the gap below you is now closed to 1 so you really need to start looking

 

Do what to myself?
If you are referring to the gap Chelsea have made up I haven't got a clue, I just wondered if Astro knew

 

It was 1 point before this weekend so that means it has remained the same.

 

Nope, a team needs to be 3 points ahead of us with no more fixtures against us. Otherwise it's still in our hands. Certainly not going to waste my time with teams that have fewer points than us.

 

I did actually say a few games back

 

I think he's confusing the gap to us with the gap to his own team.

Sounds like he's #worried Southampton are coming up quick on Man Utd.

 

That's the spirit, close your eyes and put your fingers in your ears, it will all be fine
