hard to defeat a team that has

2nd best GK in the planet (Ederson, after Cuntois)

best right-footed (and overall) CB on the planet  Rúben Dias 

likely the best left footed CB on the planet (or soon will be) Josko Gvardiol 

best DMF on the planet (Rodri)

best AMF on the planet (when he is healthy) De Bruyne

best CF on the planet (and 2nd best player after Mbappe) Håland

and also, when they play together, the best best defensive (not offensive) PAIR of fullbacks on the planet in Aké and Akanji

Thank god Burnley are back in the PL. what an enrichment for the league. Such scintillating football -.-

Burnley, Nottingham, Luton, Brentford, Brighton, Fulham, Sheffield, Bournemouth, Wolves. This is 9 teams that all played Championship in the last 6 years. Not sure this happened before. If you add Palace who lost best players and Everton which is shambles for years this is 11 teams against which you could win 66 points in a season potentially. Sometimes this is enough for CL. Really no excuse for Pochettino to lose lots of points against these lot if any. WH is closer to this bracket as well. Losing Rice and possibly Paqueta plus European football... I see Brighton and Fulham losing the edge from previous season and Brentford without Toney. Big 6 plus Newcastle and Aston Villa are top8. And we don't have a European football so really CL place should not be questioned at all.

and yet they will get beaten this season. They won't win again, at least not the CL.

KDB not being healthy is already hurting them a lot. They missed him against Inter, but got lucky the other side relied on someone like Lukaku to win matches. Inter had the intensity, but not the quality to hurt them.

if KdB is out a lot, that really hurts them

he is their key player for now, and has been for ages

but I still see them walking the league

CL is another matter

Håland is very much a Norwegian personality

they are the least humble of all the Scandinavians, very very confident, bordering on cocky

Season 18/19 they won the league with 98 points. KDB contribution was close to zero, played just 974 mins.

yes, they also won without a true striker. I was referring to CL tho.

Its insane how good Harland's finishing is.

Colonel Harland David Sanders (September 9, 1890 – December 16, 1980) was an American businessman, best known for founding fast food chicken restaurant chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (also known as KFC) and later acting as the company's brand ambassador and symbol. His name and image are still symbols of the company.

[cfccrost 23]

One boring game this is

[NikkiCFC 8,286]

87% possession after 33 mins.

Kai isn't a striker, and he certainly isnt whatever role they are playing him as today.

He's been the worst Arsenal player today IMO

[LAM09 7,043]

Forrest could be easily winning this game.

Brighton were just awarded one of the softest pens I’ve ever seen. Joao Pedro dives, cons the ref into giving it, and then somehow the VAR doesn’t overturn the decision.
