The Weekend’s Other Games 01/01/21

The feel good for Chelsea Lampard reunion story has become awkwardly rocky. Spent a ton of money to stack his squad and their form is shit. He’s on thin ice but will probably survive the season. Could see him fired early next season though.

[LEGS]

Yes money wins

Pretty sure city would of signed 2 cbs already if they was us.

At least 1 last season after Lovren, and one even on loan or something / aging player on a short contract In jan

Wouldn't have injury prone or pure shite like shaqiri and origi sticking around either

Well they didn’t last season they stuck with a CM at the back.

They have a strong squad and hardly any injuries.

We not only have CBS out but Thiago has missed most of the season and our fringe players are injured like Greek.

I despise City but let’s face the facts it’s easier to stomach them winning the league than United.

Then they went and got Ake and Dias

They know what they needed, to close the gap again and did it

they was also very unlucky last season with injury's

I think they're missing 5 players due to corona today apparently

They have endless funds which no other team does.

Injuries made no difference last season we absolutely destroyed the league won 27 of the first 29 they weren’t keeping up with us.

......or it just could be the old conventional wisdom, that it normally takes players from other leagues in Europe (at least) a season to acclimatize to the Premier League, which as we all know is more demanding.

They have the talent (certainly in Werner's case where we've seen it); they will come good eventually.

You just have to get used to the pace and the physicality in this league which is nothing like the Bundesliga (or La Liga, or Serie A....)

I do think it was a bit short-sighted and silly to predicate their team-building this season on bringing in so many foreign players at the same time to go along with mostly low experienced youngsters.
You do need some Premier league veterans to go in with your mix of youth and talent.

And you've seen that a lot with Chelsea this season where no one seems to know what to do on the field when things start falling apart like they are now.

Getting down 2-0 to the Sheikhs in under 20 mins is not a good place to be.

Agree. Also shows how maybe coming to a place like Liverpool and coming off the bench for a while instead of being the big signing starting immediately could have helped his form. He’s quality but just spending money doesn’t guarantee immediate results like many fans expect.

If they don't get a Champions League qualification spot at least, he'll get fired in the summer.
Roman didn't splunk all that money to go play in the Europa League.
Club legend or not, heads will roll.

And we all know no one changes managers like Abramovich does.
Let's not forget that WINNING the Champions League did save the job for Di Matteo.
Was promptly fired before the plane had even landed back.

if we had owners that spent as much as on Everton we'd win the league for the next 3-4 seasons at least.

because we'd actually get the few players we really need.

like I said last night, big risk of going backwards sadly

Enjoy it while it lasts I suppose.

This current pandemic. their owners will pay off the loss in revenue due to lack of fans in the ground.. Millions every game that's lost.
Only them and Chelsea will be able to do it. Other clubs have to pay for out of the club own revenue.

Why havent Everton not even finished in the top 4?? and i doubt they will this season either.

[3underpar]

If City win the league this season it will be because they played the least shit of everyone, not because they are playing exceptionally well. Everyone is in a rough spot with the virus, no fans, etc. The injuries to our squad will be our ultimate demise if we don’t rebound.

City 0-3

Chelsea a shambles
