I had Liverpool finishing 2nd but Coutinho leaving has fucked them hard.Who's your current top 4 prediction? A month ago I thought Chelsea and United were clear favourites, now I'm back to any 3 of 5 joining City.
If pushed, United > Chelsea > Spurs > Pool > Arsenal.
Hoping United's recent mini wobble was a blip. They've effectively just had a mid-season break of 10 days, so that should stand them in good shape (blessing in disguise losing to Bristol, perhaps).
I had Liverpool finishing 2nd but Coutinho leaving has fucked them hard.
Mou's had his blip but has stumbled upon his most creative side.
Conte is over relying on Hazard. Has to take a gamble and field a more attacking side. Bring Barkley in, in place of Baka.
Spurs are getting key nailed on starters back from injury.
Arsenal i've not watched enough of.
Before season i had:
City
Pool
Spurs
Chelsea
Now i'm leaning:
City
Pool
Utd/Spurs
Ndidi was exceptional again today
Will be very surprised if a top 6 club doesnt go in for him in the summer.
Utd were kinda getting there too but Mou's treatment of Martial baffles me. Can't keep relying on HL reel flashes of top shelf finishing to dig you out on the weekly though.
Lord knows what Tony M makes of the Sanchez transfer saga
I think Lukaku suits Conte's Chelsea more than Mou's Utd. Not convinced Morata has the stamina or focus to be a 40 to 50 game a season striker. Yet.Only good game I've seen Bakayoko have this season was versus United. Hazard has had a pretty disappointing season too, imo. At times he is fantastic, but still has far too many ineffective games.
I know you said you thought Sanchez would be a good signing for City......do you think the same if he went to United?
Who you got in Liverpool versus City? I'm thinking Pool get at least a draw.
AgreeIn a way. At the same time he's at an age where he can't hide behind being a youngster anymore. I agree Jose has shackled him somewhat, but if he wants to move to that next level now's the time he has to make himself un-droppable.
In the summer he seemed on the brink of being sold and up until about November he seemed to be behind Rashford and Miki so he's obviously going in the right direction, but at 22 these next few years will define what kind of career he is going to have.......Ronaldo (pushing it maybe) or Nani.
One things for certain, he should be given more of a chance centrally, but considering Lukaku is un-droppable for some reason, I doubt it will happen.
Like Zlatan, I think the potential Sanchez signing looks good on paper but I'm not convinced it will be in reality.
He's not the finished article yet but he has the potential to become a brick wall for a bigger clubRemember him getting linked to United about a month after he signed for Leicester.
Agree
Deffo should be given more of a run centrally. Lukaku is unselfish, they could make a decent front two, if given the chance.
Utd are fun as fuck to watch when Pogba plays in the more advanced role.
Has Mou ever played a diamond formation in midfield?
Son is on fire at the moment.
Dele & Kane are constantly dragging players away & him & Eriksen are destroying teams attacking the space in behind them.

Romelu is putting in a lot of unnoticed graft. Lingard has benefited so much from his unselfishness.
Its also helped a lot playing Shaw at FB. He links up very well down that left flank. I'd be disappointed if Young isnt played at RB when he comes back from his ban. That would add much needed attacking balance. City have gotten away with playing Delph so far but they could get undone in CL by better competition if their LB spot isnt sorted before Mendy returns in the summer. Danillo cant play there, just as Zappa cant on rt for Chelsea.Yeah.....basically when Pogba plays well, United play well. Herrera's form / limitations means Jose tend to play Pogba deeper, which is obviously not his best role. Gonna be hard to fit in all our attacking players if we sign one more forward let alone the likely 2 we are after.
Rashford should probably go on loan to a suitable club for a season. Have a feeling both Mata and Miki won't be there next season.
