Premier League season discussions here...

Chelsea pretty lucky to get a point today against Leicester.  This will be a interesting year for Chelsea...just hoping for growth from the young players.  Top 4 appears unlikely.  Willian comes on and looked horrible.  His laziness is killing me.  We need Hudson-Odoi back badly.  Willian has these lazy atrocious games way to often.  He was appallingly bad today.

The season just started so a lot of time to adjust.  Arsenal barely squick thru these 2 games.  Arsenal is playing against Liverpool this week... could be ugly.

Honestly, drawing level with ManC at their house surprised the hell outta me. We don't have the best record in their house, so a draw is about as good as I could expect lately. All I gotta say is, thank goodness for VAR!

 

(I'll hate it and curse it later, I'm sure, but for now, it's alright by me)

Arsenal and Tott are better than Chelsea.  Chelsea has talent but shaky at the back and no real lead striker = mediocrity

Frankly, it all depends on how healthy the teams will stay.  United is very thin all over the place.  Spurs D is few injuries away from being crap,  Arsenal have a ton of midfielders but only few quality ones and their D is garbage.  The healthiest teams will do good this season.

Chelsea win and Man U and Arsenal lose.  Happy times.  Liverpool looking really stout so not a terrible loss.

Tammy Abraham needs to stay at lead striker...he isn’t great with control but finds the net.

Liverpool took advantage of Arsenal terrible fullbacks.  Liverpool attacked nonstop on the wings and their fullbacks literally played wingers.  It will be a different story come January with Bellerin and Tierney slated to come back in 2-4 weeks.

Why Liverpool and City are so successful is because they got great CBs which allowing their FBs go into all out attack.  Both Liverpool and City FBs are great attackers.  That in turn splits open opposite team midfield due to overload.

Arsenal is in rebuilding phase to try to copycat that but it won’t take full effect until next year when Saliba and another CB will join the team.

Not so sure about my guys, with the loss to Newcastle last week. Guess we'll start to see tomorrow if they really have what it takes to contend this year, or if there's just too much contentious internal strife from players wanting out that's affecting our locker room.

Arsenal have a good attack but their D is bad...  Holding, Bellerin and Tierney are still out for 2-3 more weeks.  Arsenal will likely counter a lot tomorrow.

Yep, that’s true. Arsenal one season away from competing.  Still need a LW, CM and CB. Arsenal D will be pretty good next season when Saliba comes in and another top CB signed.  Arsenal will finish rebuilding almost same time Liverpool players start going past prime.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
