All because the smaller clubs are concerned about the bigger clubs' squad depth even though they don't play them every week. :doh: 

It's gonna be stupid when managers have to waste subs on injuries!

The funniest thing is it probably actually helps the smaller clubs more. The bottom half teams tend to have by in large a squad full of average players so no huge change if they have a few injures.

Take Burnley as an example, switch Lowton for Bardsley or Taylor for Pieters or Barnes for Rodriquez there's not a great deal of difference, out of the top eight only City and to an extent us have a second Xl that isn't a massive drop off from the first.

Starting to really despise those fuckers on AFTV. Deluded bunch. DT is a certified dickhead.

They won a few cups here and there and they think they are all that, sure they look decent under Arteta and im sure they will do ok this season, but ffs go have a coffee somewhere and cool down....bums.

Are Leeds better than the Sheffield United team that took the Premier League by storm?

What constitutes a good return for Leeds United in their first season back in the Premier League? Would avoiding relegation qualify as a success or should Marcelo Bielsa's team have their sights fixed on a top-half finish?

Sheffield United showed last season that a group of players with little Premier League experience can thrive on the strength of an engrained system and thorough coaching, and Leeds are tipped to emulate them.

In fact, analysing both team's metrics in their Championship promotion seasons, there are grounds to argue that Leeds might be even better than the Sheffield United team that arrived in the top flight last August.

Some might bristle at that claim, but it is worth remembering that Sheffield United were favourites to be relegated before last season and within 12 months are now considered an established Premier League team. Our evaluations can change quickly.

Here I delve into the numbers and try to explain what all the excitement around Leeds is about.
