Leicesterpool Posted 9 August 2020 Share Posted 9 August 2020 (edited) Leeds will struggle, it's quite a young team there and not a great deal of top flight experience along with a manager whose never managed in the english top flight. Man Utd 15/2 bit generous I think, yep they ended the season on form but seriously third favourites? under Ole with that squad. No I would have though Chelsea would have been higher than them, with Werner now in there attack. Everton 200/1 under Ancelotti whose won the premier league, pretty harsh.

Leicesterpool Posted 9 August 2020 Share Posted 9 August 2020 For me the bottom three next season will be Leeds, West Brom and Crystal Palace. Palace I think is time is due, the form post lockdown was horendous and won't be surprised if that form contuines. Woy despite doing a good job keeping up for so long I think is becoming stale, won't be surprised if there's change their early maybe Eddie Howe stepping in takeover.

I agree with the Palace shout but I can't see Hodgson taking them down. He grinds out so many results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Fulham will learn from the mistakes they had when they were last in the premier league. I dunno I just feel Scott Parker will surprise a few, he done a great job last season bringing them back, considering it was his first full season in football with a squad low on confidence.

Staffs Fox Posted 9 August 2020 Share Posted 9 August 2020 Honestly only in this country would have the team who won the league last season by 18 points only second favourites and a team who’ve not played in the top division for 16 years ahead of established top half teams! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea's defence is a absolute garbage though, they are probably going to need to outscore the opposition. Franke boy geeza doesnt seem interested in signing defenders and wants to sell Kante who protected the defence for them last season. Dont get Leeds, other than that it's about right. All the teams out of the Championship stumbled up nothing more. As long as we get over our shit form relegation is between the promoted clubs, villa, palace and I think Sheff Utd will have 2nd season syndrome.

They genuinely need to sell zaha. If they can get a good fee and buy 3/ 4 20mill players with it then they could be a decent enough side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koke Posted 9 August 2020 Share Posted 9 August 2020 (edited) I agree with this tweet. If Chelsea are planing on signing defenders and defensive midfielders and a goal keeoer then they will end spending over £250m. If not, then I can see a lot of pain for them next season Edited 9 August 2020 by Koke 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Posted 9 August 2020 Share Posted 9 August 2020 Chelsea are looking a bit like Everton did, stocking loads of AMs. Relegation for me: Villa Palace Fulham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Azpi their defence was woefully open, and they can't rely on Caballero in goal. Their stockpile of midfielders are generally average (minus Kante). Last night highlighted it, Barkley and Mount would be in line with Abraham in attack, whilst Kante and Kovacic occupied the same space. The huge gap in their midfield was telling. This season will be a huge season for Lampard. Having spent big on Werner and Ziyech they need to perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamble92 Posted 9 August 2020 Share Posted 9 August 2020 The media love in for Leeds returning has already been a piss take. I'll be the first to admit its a better fixture than Fulham or West Brom or most of the same old usual shit, but if they start doing well my hatred for them wont take long to come back.

st albans fox Posted 10 August 2020 Share Posted 10 August 2020 When are the fixtures out ? hopefully our first game can be one of Man City, wolves or yanited so we can get an extra week off and by the time that game is re arranged we have more players available re chilly and Ricky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be fair enough if they start throwing some cash around but right now the media are planting their nose firmly up their bottom cheeks based on Bielsa and the fact they have an impressive history more than 30-40 years ago. Their current squad may well be enough to finish top half at a push but even using Wolves first season as an example is wide of the mark. Wolves had recruited some exceptional talent both whilst in the Championship and then in the summer, so until Leeds do that then they are nothing out of the ordinary. Typical bias from a tedious media. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudFox Posted 10 August 2020 Share Posted 10 August 2020 Next season is going to be an interesting test for Bielsa, and not just because he's in the Premier League. Very short turnaround combined with his all-action, intense pressing approach could do really really well in the short term, but come Christmas when fixtures pile up, they'll be shattered. Bit like us really! I'm not convinced they have the quality to right the ship once the wind goes out if their sails though. Still, plenty of time for a few transfers to change that.
