EPL 2023/2024

Let’s see: Bayern, Liverpool, Barcelona need a coach. Manchester United do too but management has blinders on. Chelsea oh boy. 5-0 loss to Arsenal. An Arsenal team that can’t beat a crappy Bayern Munich. Pochitino you are heading into Thomas Tuchel territory
Chelsea is such a shit show and has been since Boehly took over that I don't think any great manager could make a difference. They're basically back to being the mid-table team they always were before Abramovich bought them.
 
Seems like it started to go downhill once they let Mane go. I love Mo but it was never as good as when those two were together.
Mane scoring completely dried up at Bayern after World Cup and Bayern begged him to go to Saudi Arabia which he did.

Really looking forward to them having to sell players like Connor Gallagher because they have spent so absurdly in previous windows.
 
Salah a goner at Liverpool too? He and Klopp had a sideline spat on the sideline today. Klopp can’t wait to be outta there at this point.
 
Man U can’t beat Burnley? I saw recently Garnacho liking criticism of Ten Haag. Lol. He ain’t wrong with that.
 
I haven't checked the stats, but Spurs have to be closing in on most set piece goals (and goals derived directly after setpieces) conceded in a single season. It's become a joke at this point.

Yeah UCL hopes over. Looks like Aston Villa will get the 4th spot.

Which honestly I'm ok with. Europa or even Conf League would be ok for Spurs next season. They still have some major squad depth issues and having to play UCL plus EPL would put a major strain on health and fitness.

All in all, very promising season even if it is wrapping up on a down note. Should be a contender for top 4 next season for sure and make some noise in whatever european competition they end up in.

I heard today Spurs have only 11 wins since October 28th.... Still I think the future is bright.
 
"Hello? (Hello? Hello? Hello?) Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone home? Come on now, I hear you're feeling down. Well I can ease your pain. Get you on your feet again. Relax...I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts. Can you show me where it hurts?"

Do you sense that Erik Ten Haag is drifting into Syd Barrett territory????? What plan lol??????

 
Good one Bill....

 
Moyes out, Lopetegui in apparently. Not sure how I feel about the hire yet.

Pretty bad end to the season, first time in 20 years they've dropped 4 straight i think i heard. Basically limping to the finish line. Got some key players out and several others who are unable to play a full 90.

Considering they are taking on an entirely different style of play, the roster is incredibly thin, and it was their first season without their talisman for the past decade+, the result of (probably) top 6 and european football is a step in the right direction.

Still plenty of holes to fill, but positive movement.

He sure is. Eze too. I see Glasner since he took over has started Chris Richards too. Wasn’t getting hardly any minutes. Seems to be in fine form too. That should help the USA.
 
Our resident West Ham fan:

Thoughts on Lopetegui next season?
The Declan Rice money?
Should be able to buy 5 or 6 decent players?
West Ham I think is 7th in spending in England?
62K fans, and only 5 or 6 home wins, needs to at least to be doubled like last season?

- Not sure yet, He was good with Sevilla, decent with Wolves (but they had no money). We'll see I guess.
- Should be able to buy players, but probably won't with our shitty owner
- They did spend on some good players like Haller and Scamacca, but Moyes had no idea how to use them. Hopefully we get Benrahma back from loan.
- I would hope we'd get more home wins. London Stadium is ok....but it ain't Upton Park for sure. IMO they should have let Spurs have it and renovated Upton Park, better atmosphere and more of a fortress.

Yeah, they looked lost, all right. I mean, Palace have played better here to end the season, but that was an embarrassing game for MU.

Palace has been great recently, but the vultures are already circling over that squad. Entertaining team to watch.
