Guest Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Totally agree but until the Premier League & UEFA scrap the home grown rule (which will never happen), there'll always be a move like that to Chelsea or City each year or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Arsenal may 'do a Man Utd' this year and finish 7th or 8th. A really uninspriring squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Han Kwang-song is a North Korean striker, only turned 19 last week, became first North Korean to score in a major European league when he bagged for Cagliari last season. They (surprisingly) loaned him out this year. So far he's scored 5 in 4 in Serie B for Perugia and now being linked to a load of big clubs. Looks quick, good dribbler and good finisher. Interesting story not just because of his apparent talent but his origin. One to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Starting to think klopp as manager isn't all that tbh. I personally love him and love his whole style and ethos, but he's under pressure at Liverpool and I just don't think he's a title winning type of manager. He's top 4, good football, cup runs etc., but not title winning material. I can see a day when Rafa ends up back there, for example he would tighten that team up and have it seriously challenging for the title. They are far too weak defensively at the moment and seem shagged towards the end of a season which is ultimately the business end and where the true champions tend to close things out.

ponsaelius Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 He won 2 Bundesliga titles over Bayern. He's got a bit of a weak spot with regards to buying defenders, although I think that's down to being picky. They spent all summer chasing Van Dijk instead of ever considering somebody else to be an upgrade on Klavan and Lovren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They spent all summer chasing Van Dijk instead of ever considering somebody else to be an upgrade on Klavan and Lovren. He did indeed, but this is a far tougher league and Dortmund are basically only second to Bayern where as Liverpool are basically 5th to Chelsea, Man Utd, Spurs and Man City (irrespective of order of course). He will be under huge pressure this season and I can only see him lasting the course if he somehow wins the CL. The league is beyond them and always will be under Klopp because defensively they concede too many or look too frail defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juventus have become too good, or Serie A really bad. Casually forgetting him tearing you apart in the quarter final last year In which he scored half the goals he did in his entire CL campaign, and it's not like Juve didn't get far. Don't get me wrong, Dybala's really good, but he still lacks consistency when facing top sides. Running up the score in a league where Juve is heads and shoulders above the rest flatters him to a degree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 He's not going to be sacked - even if they finish outside the top four. He's their manager for the long term. They don't really have anywhere to go to if they were to sack him. Rafa back there is a backwards step and a complete non-starter, IMO. Pace, power and goalscoring is more important for winning titles now than a solid defence. That's the case in the PL in 2017. They're going in the right direction on that front. Defence can be sorted in time. Like I said they were too picky on which defenders they wanted, and they'll pay for that this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be insane and I think it very unlikely tbf. No way Liverpool sack him, it's obvious that they are growing under him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a fantastic allround player though and getting better all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
