Calvert Lewin looks like he will be this seasons bargain buy.
-
I think Sheffield United are going to struggle for goals this season.
-
But why bother? Just pick an area of the goal you want to score and get on with it. Its not like it will get nominated for any goal of the month awards, its just unnecessary especially if its a penalty to win the match.
-
It’s a needless risk most of the time. Managers must hate them. It also comes across as if the player is thinking about himself rather than the team.
-
Its a shame for England Vardy retired.
-
Barkley as well for me, but the fact he can fit wins it for him. I'm still not sure what position Loftus Cheek plays in.
-
It doesn't seem to be the smartest idea to have crowds for the Super Cup Final in Budapest when there is a big surge in cases in Hungary.
-
I noticed in La Liga and Ligue 1 that 5 substitutes are now allowed for this season. Personally I think the Premier League should have gone for it because its a very congested fixture list this season so players will be very fatigued, but at the same time can understand if fans of smaller clubs are opposed to it.
-
I'm probably in the minority, but does anyone else think at the moment think Jimenez is the best striker in the league?
-
I think Everton should have tried to sign Martinez. They are only a good goalkeeper and a solid center back away from being top 6 quality this season.

I think Spurs will struggle to finish in the top 4 this season, I would nearly go as far to say that for the next few years they could possibly struggle to finish in the top 8 in the league. If I were the other teams in the big 6 I would be more worried by the likes of Everton, Leicester, Wolves and maybe Villa if they continue to show ambition. With the exception of Villa the others teams I named have more money, better squads and better managers than Spurs at the moment. Their only good players are Kane, Alli and Son, but 2 out of 3 of those players are out of form and the rest of the squad are either past their best or nowhere near good enough for a club that wants to compete to qualify for the Champions League. When Dembele was sold and not replaced it was the start of the wheels coming off for Spurs because the midfield of Winks and Hojberg which they started with today is mid table quality at best. Even if they sacked Mourinho in the next couple of months, I don't think it is an attractive job for good managers. There is clearly very little money to spend and there would need to more than £100 million to be invested in the team to get them competing for the top 4 again. Spurs probably did Pochettino a favour sacking him last season because I think after losing the Champions League final he couldn't take that team any further. He wanted to tear up the team and start again, but Levy wouldn't let him, but now Spurs have Mourinho leading the rebuilding job and he is the last manager you want to do that job especially with little money to spend.

PSG losing to Lens, but have none of their front 3 available to be fair.

Dean Smith won't last much longer at Villa in my opinion. It actually wouldn't surprise me if they went for someone like Pochettino. They clearly have lots of ambition, are prepared to spend lots of money on transfers and they are a big, underachieving club. If not Pochettino they can bring in a manager that is a lot better than Smith. If they do then I can see them challenging for Europe in a couple of seasons.
