In a way, after Sunday, it kind of is? The league is almost as good as won, and after Sunday the only real question left over the results at the end of the season will have been answered.
That said, most probably not what they meant though.
Itâs not though is it a couple of bad results and itâs all in the air again. Itâs also the Premier League title. Not like weâve got top 4 and are looking forward to the beach.
We didnât get this chance to win the title while in front of fans we had it at empty stadium.
All we have currently is an advantage, you donât win a title for showing off your expectations on the internet. Otherwise Man Utd and Everton would have a boat load.
Anyway, whatever we write on forums, it has zero influence on what happens on the pitch. The league wonât be decided here. If someone has serious jinx issues, then the best is not to read it or ignore it.
Mo is a conundrum. Lots of goals and assists but not a lot else - I know how stupid that sounds. He no longer beats a man or runs in behind like he used to.
Should we pay stupid wages for that? Should be play him at 9, sell Nunez and get a right winger?
Yesterday was interesting as one of the things that characterized our good start and the difference from our first leg was the joy Mo was getting out of Tavares whereas in the first leg he got nothing from him the entire game. Unfortunately he and we couldnt sustain that though.
It was Mendes, not Tavares. Unfortunately. I also confused them when Arsenal were signing Tavares, being convinced that they made a quality signing.
Last night was weird because Salah got an early dribble success against Mendes, then Mendes won a few duels. Then it looked to me like Salah tried to avoid taking him on, instead trying to look for early passes and playing other people through. Rushed a few.
Youâre assuming weâre re-signing Salah, Van Dijk, and Trent then? It looks to me like Trent is gone to Real Madrid. Salah and Van Dijk are far from sure things as their contract discontent has been public discussion for months now.
That would be 3/11 starters gone. Thatâs not a 90% keep rate. That would be 72.7% of the starters retained if they all leave. And this isnât even factoring in other players in the squad being pursued by clubs outside the PL such as Nunez, Diaz, etc.
