EPL Season 2019-2020

[RustyBourneHorse]

Well, here we are again. A new EPL season is upon us. Liverpool won last year. Who will win this year? Which teams will make it to the UEFA next year? Which teams will be relegated? Off we go! Week 1 is in the books. Lets see how things turned out

 

[csirl]

Liverpool finally win EPL.
Sheff Utd and Brighton will be among the relegated teans.

Brighton sacking Hughton has to be the biggest bonehead move of the offseason. He's a genius coach and the only reason they made and stayed in the Premier League.

Will do a more detailed top 6 and bottom 6 as the season progresses, but, as it is early, there will not be one this week.

Yes, that was absolutely stupid of them, and I reckon that will cost them quite severely. I reckon also that Norwich City will probably also be ousted quite early with Southampton really struggling to stay on.

Going to be a rough season for my very, very young Chelsea team.
But also a kinda cool season with so many young homegrown Chelsea players.
Will be the first season I didn't expect them to go top 4.
I am hoping they can stay top 6 and make Europa.

Did they?

 

[Pompey-Cowboy]

Brighton's opening result was fairly miraculous, thought they wouldn't be winning for a while.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Did they?

My mistake. It was Manchester City. I thought for the longest time Liverpool had won it. I dunno what I was thinking. So yes, if you're a Man City supporter, my apologies.

I have Liverpool winning the title this year. I think Man City will put all their eggs in the CL.

1. Liverpool
2. Manchester City
3. spurs
4. Arsenal
5. Manchester United
6. Everton (bold prediction here)

I have Brighton, Norwich, and Sheffield being relegated but Southampton could flirt with relegation as well.

Pretty much same here. And I've got my Bournemouth Cherries hovering around 11 and 14 as usual.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I would like for my Cherries to transfer in a bit more defence. That's where we've been desperately lacking.

Pulicic was amazing against Liverpool. WOW Created a goal for Garoud and then scored himself beating 2 defenders (called back on a dubious offside). Then they pulled him early in the second half???

Not sure why he didnt start against Man U. Chelsea were completely dominated from start to finish that match.

 

[joseephuss]

Close, but looks offsides.

That was a very iffy call.

 

[jterrell]

That was a very iffy call.

almost identical play to the 2nd LP goal which was allowed.
but it was a good match and Pulisic showed he can handle the EPL.

 

[JBS]

That was a very iffy call.

There was nothing iffy about it. He was offside. There is nothing to discuss..offsides is offsides..great match for the kid either way

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Interesting game between Man City and Tottenham today. Result was 2-2. Nearly 3-2, but one of the Man City players deflected the ball accidentally off his elbow. VAR saw it, and disallowed the goal. Prior to the season, a rule was made that even setting up a goal via handball, intentional or not, is to be ruled as a no goal. Disappointing to be sure, but VAR got the call right IMO via the letter of the rule.

In your defense they won UCL so are Champs of Europe.
They are still stinky scousers tho that eat fish fried and with the face stil on it. lol.

In all seriousness that is a really good side.
