Rice suits Chelsea’s team better, they need a 6 not a box to box midfielder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Relegation: Fulham, Crystal Palace and West Ham Top 4 the same as last season. Confident of that. 1-2 and 3-4 could swap but no more movement than that. Arsenal and Spurs next. Then Wolves and Everton. Think the top 8 are nailed on and we won't get close without another 2 shrewd signings. Others have strengthened and we havent. Given the mood around the club, lack of signings, 2020 form and European campaign, I think we might be the big underachievers this season. Hope I'm very wrong!!! Fulham, West Brom and 1 other to drop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxfanazer 12,871 Posted 12 September 2020 Report Share Posted 12 September 2020 (edited) Mitrovic on the bench for Fulham. I'd have thought he'd be perfect for this kind of game Edited 12 September 2020 by foxfanazer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Nacho 3,504 Posted 12 September 2020 Report Share Posted 12 September 2020 Arsenal playing in blue. Disgusting. Really grips me when teams play in their away kit when they don’t need to. Arsenal are especially bad at doing it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think Arsenal believe their home kit is 'sacred,' and refuse to wear anything other than white shorts with it. I think that's why they wear their away kits more often than most.

It'll be because their home kit has white sleeves, which would clash with Fulham's when it comes to flailing arms in the box - so I don't think the kit they're wearing is a decision taken by the club.

I think it's pretty reasonable. In the space of a few months we've gone from being 90 minutes away from the Champions League to now facing a season of playing twice a week pretty much every week with fvck all squad. The lack of depth was a problem last year that saw us slump from title winning form in 2019 to literal relegation form in 2020, now we've got to play even more games with even more congestion. Even if you believe our form has now been totally reset and last year's slump is a thing of the past (enormously naive), you still have to accept that this is going to be one of the most difficult seasons in the recent history of the club. Oh and we're going in to the new season with three of our best players unavailable for the opening game and we don't have definitive return dates for two of them. Look, I get as frustrated with the hysterical polarity of this place as much as anyone else, probably more than to be honest, but there's a lot of reason to be concerned and negative about the start of this season. I'm not a perpetually negative person, I was extremely excited about last season and with good reason. I'm not anti Rodgers per se, I don't moan at everything the club does, but come on. Do I think we'll get relegated? No. But we've evolved as a club, being safe in the league isn't a good season anymore. We've got expectations, so do our owners, we should view being top half as a minimum requirement for an acceptable season and, to be honest, I wouldn't put money on us finishing anywhere above twelfth at the moment.

Yeah but you could say our form since christmas was pathetic and our failure to secure much needed additional signings is pathetic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
