At this rate, they probably will overtake us tonight. Leicester are embarrassing.

Do not care what anyone says the PL being the best league in the world is massively over played, this season has been nothing short of pathetic in terms of quality from the so called best league in the world...Just look at this afternoon....City v United, that was as bland and boring as it comes with two team who have regressed massively and that is without talking about how far we have fallen

 

Been the case for years. Technical and tactical side of the PL has always been overhyped. Look at how many big players leave the PL to go to Spain or whatever and say that its purely only more difficult physically. 

Simply put, if you want to watch good football, don’t watch the big games in the PL. All these Pep disciples/wanna be’s like Arteta, Maresca etc are also a big reason as to why PL football is getting poorer too.

Everything is so predictable, so robotic, so boring… they’d sooner see their teams pass the ball backwards and sideways for 90 minutes because ultimately their philosophy is more important than winning - or it seems that way. Or have fullbacks inverting to give them a box midfield and then their wide men are crossing the ball to one maybe two guy’s in the box because their fulbacks are playing as number 6/8s, they have midfielders who don’t really break into the box and their wingers are doing what their fullbacks would of done in the past instead of coming and getting in the box….. 

The young guy at Brighton and (pains me to say it) Arne Slot have both been a breath of fresh air in terms of philosophy/style of football IMO. Possession orientated still but quick attacking play and huge emphasis on attacking transitions at most opportunities. Even Forest this season, sort of throwback playing a low block but a hugely effective attacking transition with Elanga, Hudso-Odoi, MGW etc. Ange also last season was a breath of fresh air for the PL with his fullbacks as number 10s effectively (different from what he did at Celtic) although now Spuds and him are getting pasted left right and centre 😂
