Looked good again today. Seven points from three games in London. But Burnley?
Klopp is a great manager - Mane a great signing. They will get better and better as the year progresses and finish Top 4
Well this sucks... Kane could miss 2+ months with ankle injury. LINK Will miss 3 UCL games, and matches v City and Arsenal... at the very least.Spurs (2 draws are v Liverpool and @ Everton... hopefully Kane's ankle injury yesterday is not too serious);
To me Mane is the key to the season. He's a matchup nightmare with the pace he brings. He's the most impressive of the new signings.Mane a great signing.
...but I think a top 4 finish is definitely doable.
I hate to temp karma, but for me it's not just doable, I'm expecting it now. They've played 3 out of their 5 toughest away games already. (@ARS, @TOT, @CHE)
6 games in and the unquestionable class of the league is City. After that I'd put Liverpool and Arsenal as looking the next strongest. Those three should be comfortable for top 3 barring any unforeseen injuries.. After that I'd lump together Spurs, United, Everton, and Chelsea to battle for the 4th spot.. I think Everton will fall back and finish 5-8 as they do. United appear to be pretty inconsistent. Could beat anyone, could lose to anyone. Chelsea I am not sure what to make of yet. Spurs look solid in the back, but are not scoring goals. Maybe Kane going down will give the rest of their attacking payers more freedom/space to finish... dunno.
My biggest surprise of the year so far is how poorly West Ham has started the season.
Sure, maybe, but after the 13-14 year where it looked like they were gonna win and then slipped against Chelsea and blew a 3-0 lead against Palace..
Good bye Guidolin and good riddance. I was shocked that they brought him back this season on a 2 year deal. I know we've played Man City and Liverpool the past two weeks and they've been somewhat competitive in those two games but the losses to Southhampton and Hull aren't going to cut it. Arsenal is up next and that won't be any better. Time to use those new ownership dollars and hire a new manager or else this season is not going to go well.
Wow.....looks like I predicted the future....not sure how I feel like this one though.....then again, I'll take any manager that's willing to play two strikers so if he fits that bill sign me up. Tired of not pressing forward enoughGuess who Swansea has hired as their new manager - Bob Bradley. A US guy as a EPL head coach, interesting.
Swansea dismiss Francesco Guidolin, appoint former U.S. boss Bob Bradley

Honestly, if he can just find a way to keep them safe I'll be pleased. They have the players to stay up and the ability to score, just need him to find a way to get them to do so. Our wing players were not used nearLY the way they should. Not saying he's the best thing to ever happen to Swansea but if he can get Barrow and Montero more involved and get both our new signings at striker some opportunities, I'll be happy.You think Bunker Bob will press?
I have frustrating memories of a vanilla 4-4-2, getting it all wrong and being praised too much for making obvious halftime adjustments.
