Prediction: I think Chelsea will make the top 4 and Werner will gradually turn his form around and have a decent end to the season. Little signs in that Burnley game despite one clumsy shot.

I genuinely have no ****ing idea how the top 4 is going to end up, but it will be difficult regardless.
It'll come for Timo I think.

At least you have an incredibly deep squad to mange with rotation etc.

I don't know if I'd say incredibly deep.

I don't know if I'd say incredibly deep.

Comparison to other clubs, except for maybe Chelsea, I definitely would.

They have no fit back up striker, and their central midfield stocks with kdb out are pretty thin. They have decent depth in wingers but that's about it.

 

[moomba]

If we can get through that set of fixtures (plus Man United first game in March) still on top it'll be a great position to be in.

wonder what happens with that gladbach game or is that not facing the same issue liverpool/leipzig is facing

Germany being a Federal Republic similar to Australia I dare say it isn't facing the same issue.

Assuming his story is true, what a way to get done for doping




Were these pills lying around loose, or did he not look at the packet?

I believe that's called the Shane Warne defence.

Would imagine it's at risk, but a lot could change in the next couple of weeks.

idk about Gladbach, but Atletico (who are due to face Chelsea) is in the same situation as arrivals from the UK are also apparently banned in Spain

As is Benfica for the Arsenal games.

‘Gladbach game happens after the meeting of ministers to determine the best stage of lockdowns - so they will probably need a backup - but at the moment cases are trending down. Leipzig game is before the meeting, therefore can’t be accommodated

They've got two very good goalies. Five quality centre halves. The other day against Burnley they had a bench including Foden, Fernandinho, Zinchenko (plays midfield for Ukraine) and Claudio Gomes (a young N'Golo Kante type). I think they'll be ok.

I see that VAR is useless in Germany too. This wasn’t given as a penalty even after VAR checked it.



It’s a blurry image but even on the replay, it struck the defenders arm. I thought perhaps it missed the defenders arm but it didn’t.
