is Luiz the new Cech .. what is different this time?
It's the best change of all. What is ingrained is the fact a team can waste over a minute per substitution in the knowledge they won't have to play the time. Easily enforced if the player is sent off if he takes the long walk. Once that happens it won't happen again.The substitutions is a weird one, my gut feeling is that it won't be followed at all. Players walking to the benches is just so ingrained in how the game is played.
Was it enforced well?During the AFCON, it was actually strange seeing the players walk off at the nearest point. It'll take some time to get used to for the fans for sure.
This is very interesting. But it makes sense.However, if the referee was about to send off the player who has given away the foul for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity, they will only receive a yellow card if the attacking team takes the quick free-kick.

true dat. chelsea sure seem to help us out from time to time. The loan of Benayoun after the 8-2 will always be appreciated. Hope Giroud has repaid the debt somewhat.The rest of the team.
Yeah, the players took to it straight away. It made the game flow a lot smoother especially in the latter stages.Was it enforced well?
I think with the substitutions there should be a 30 second 'shot clock'. End of the shot clock and you're not off, it's a penalty from the spot and a £250k fine for the club. Make it hurt.Actually that is the best rule I see.
It is beyond irritating when on final minutes of play, the players walk slowly, pretend to be tired, clap at the fans, pull their socks as they stroll etc...
The quick-free kick is interesting as the balancing act might prove costly for the attacking team.
Imagine as we have a counter, a defender clatters into Laca with a dangerous two-footed tackle. Özil quickly takes the free kick to Auba, who gets one-on-one with teh keeper and then misses.
Instead of a sending off to oppo defender, due to that quick free kick, only a yellow will be given

Whereas Owen has as 6th.The BBC pundit predictions have us placed at 4th for the most part.
Isn’t the third season in his contract an option? Would make it easy for the club to cut him loose if we fall short.Absolute no excuse not to finish in the Top 4 this season, after our squad overhaul this summer.
No Top 4 place, no Emery for 2020/21.
I'm going for 4th place this season, just.
Whereas Owen has as 6th.
If not for Pepe and Luiz/ceballos signings, I'm sure he would be predicting everton to displace us from the top 6.
Incredible how bitter the little man is. Bet he never gets laid, the boring prick
He is dirt. After Maradona he is the second biggest cheating ex-player alive.Whereas Owen has as 6th.

I'll be delighted with 10 points from our first four games. Fewer than 7 would be worrying.We have this tricky fixture away at Newcastle, not necessarily because the opponent and venue is imposing, but because of squad circumstances resulting with us being very short, especially out wide. Then we have Burnley at the Emirates, but after that is Liverpool away and Sp**s at home. Just hope we can scrape a result at St James's Park because otherwise there is potential for a lot of gloom after those first four matches. A challenge in general is to minimise bad results during first 2-3 months, until we are at full strength and have new players settled in.
