Sunderland signed a striker who has scored like 3 career goals

~~Cuthbert~~ · 08-02-2018, 02:21 PM

I look at Sunderland and think, that could easily have been us. Feel bad for their supporters.

How come you don't think Liverpool or MC will challenge for the title BTW?

Liverpool are simply Liverpool. Never gonna have the same numbers as last season put up by their forwards, and signed players that really aren't that good, whatever the hype.

MU is Mourinho's third season. Just the way it is.

~~Cuthbert~~ · 08-02-2018, 02:59 PM

Not MU, MC. I agree MU won't do much. MC absolutely pissed the league though surely they will be at least close this year too.

Oh, my bad. I don't see what they have done to improve. Mahrez isn't better than Sterling as a RW option, and I can't see him working in CM however much Pep tries. They just haven't improved much.

~~Cuthbert~~ · 08-02-2018, 03:36 PM

I dunno man do they even need to improve? They were so far ahead it's difficult to see what else they can do.

Obviously I will be happy with Arsenal winning the league of the realistic options but I can't see it. Arsenal or Tottenham for me. I want to see Kane win something now.

Very hard for teams to replicate what they did the previous season without changing much. Every team they will come against will know exactly what they are going to do. Obviously they will win most games but it will result in them dropping more points.

Think Salah will be a) galvanised by his failure to make his mark in the WC or b) depressed and not play as well?

Mahrez can score into an open goal though. There's your difference.
Less than twenty-four hours to go, boys! Here we go, here we go, here we go!

Just over two hours if you're in the proper league.
