Premier League 2021/22

I don't agree with the pressing criticism, either.

 

It suggests you can only press if you have certain players, which I don't believe is true. You can press with any player, because, for me, it's mostly an organisational thing. 

 

Like defending. OK--some players are better at defending then others, but the majority of defending is about organisation. You can drill players into a solid system, regardless of individual ability. 

 

I recall Klopp's first game with Liverpool, against Tottenham. I don't think they won the game, but you could see the pressing and counter-pressing immediately. And, you wouldn't say Liverpool had a great side at that stage; they were pretty average. Did they not have Benteke, FFS?!

 

Ole just doesn't have it, tactically.

I think Conte is the obvious choice for Utd, but I'm not sure he fits, long-term. 

 

There's no one else available. 

 

(Zidane is not interested, I believe. He doesn't speak English and is waiting for the French NT job, by all accounts.)

A weekend of ghoulies and ghosties and long-legged beasties and things that go bump in the night like my forecasts this season so nuts to that and the following will be right. Most of the teams are in disguise to avoid embarrassment.

 

Leicester 2-2 Gunners

Clarets 2-1 Bees

Scousers 3-0 Seagulls

City 3-1 Palace

Mags 0-3 Pensioners

Wasps 0-0 So’ton ( Relegate them both)

Hotspur 1-2 (the start of Ole’s customary rise from the ashes)

 

Canaries 1-2 Leeds

Villa 1-2 ‘ammers

Wolves 2-2 Toffees
