Premier League 2020/2021: Can We Beat The Drop?

We're probably the most solid team atm.
I don't know if that will be enough to get us top 4.

 

It’s certainly shaping up to be one of those “anomaly” seasons. Games across Europe have shown that while stadiums are empty the home team advantage effect has gone out of the window.

 

United next week. Magic.

 

If we lose next week, probably going to be a struggle for top 4

 

Forget about top 4, another boring ****ty, transition season of sorts. **** me, a relegation battle would be exciting at this point.

Remember how we used to finish top 4 every years and it wasn't good enough? Those were days.

 

Nothing will change until Özil, Mustafi and so many other players are out...

 

Whenever I realise that there's no way we're getting top 4 I think about the Europa League. But then I remember you have to actually beat teams to win it.

 

United(A)
Villa(H)
Leeds(A)
Wolves(H)
Sp**s(A)
Burnley(H)
Southampton(H)
Everton(A)

We're getting beat next week 100%. Then we have a slightly more winnable game against Villa. Leeds(A) once again I'm expecting an L. Wolves(H) is an absolute must win as well. If we get 6 maybe 7 at best from those 4 games, we'll see how we get on from there.

 

Miss out on top 4 this season and we are not getting back for the foreseeable future. Only a matter of time before Chelsea and Manu get competent managers too.

 

That's the worst thing, now would be the time to take advantage. Once clubs get their act together we're absolutely ****ed. Too much damage still to repair, still a long way away from where we want to be.

 

Don't really think Chelsea, United or Sp**s are going to pull away this season. They've had some shocking results at home too already.

 

We'll get nowhere in this league with:

Mustafi
Xhaka
David Luiz
Arteta playing like we are Stoke

 

Luiz is certainly not our biggest problem. Has been quite solid this season and his injury today cost at both ends of the pitch.

 

People acting like those teams haven't had horror result ffs

Only downside from tonight, is we knocked Leicester into the fight for the league title...

 

I don't know but all teams look s**t. But this is not promising start from us you expect to lose against city or Liverpool away but not against Leicester at home.

Manutd (A) Villa (H) Leeds (A) at this rate I'm only expecting 5 points.

 

Average start to all teams who want to finish top 4 Chelsea 9 points us 9 utd 7 city 8. The good thing for us we already played city Liverpool away.

 

Finishing outside Top 6 this season, no doubt

 

We don’t score enough goals to get into the top 4. Unfortunately we still have to trust players who are going to cost us. Lacazette, Xhaka, Mustafi, Luiz (was good yesterday but will inevitably cost us at some point), Kolasinac. I’m also concerned Gabriel is holding our defence together already so we’ll probably run him into the ground. United, Sp**s and Chelsea are nothing special by any means but they all have goal scorers which can save them.

 

We'd score more goals if Arteta didn't make Lacazette play DM and Auba Wing back
