Simple, because Wan Bissaka struggles to attack. TAA firing crosses into Ronaldo is definitely something worth consideration. If TAA was a top defender, it would be a no brainer.

You obviously don't know the forum rules when it comes to this thread.
The league table doesn't matter til 10 games have been played?
I think there's 4 teams all with genuine chances of winning the title. City can't be taken lightly and I'm sure they'll start to click.
Chelsea have got lots of fire power to win high scoring games even if they lose a couple defensively.
Yernited are hamstrung by OGS. Got a squad capable of winning games just not sure their defensively solid enough.
Liverpool haven't got the squad depth of the others but with a bit of luck on the injury front I can see us going all the way.
January will be a tough month for us when we lose the African Players but I'm certain if we Keep Origi fit then we win the league.

This is a joke right?
Origi... We have better strikers than you do... I dont see Liverpool winning the league - simply through squad depth. More likely the Champions league than the league.
I dont think United have a chance - Ronaldo wont carry them that far.
City are boring, their manager keeps moaning in the media and they have no real goalscorer. Not winning anything this year other than the league cup I reckon! Id gladly see them fail on every front. Something isnt quite right at city though....

Are squad depth so far isn’t too bad
We have already lost a few to injury and been without a number of players and doing ok - we are prob maybe light one more for the front three but still got some good players for back up
And as for Origi - legend ?
Had a shocker last season and didn’t look interested at all
So far he has only played one game and did well - ?

I know he scored the all important goal for you but come on...
Salah, Mane, VVD or Alison are your biggest assests. Lose one and you might struggle. I think you have depth everywhere else though.

I've no dog in this fight, but looking out the widow, there are still green leaves on the trees!
Long long way to go yet.

I think the last title Man U won was one of your poorest sides over the 20 years you won it, I think most man U fans would admit that, but it was a team that won the league, so hey, ho. They were no doubt an aging side as well. Fergie did get the best out of them, but left Moyes with a decent amount of work to do with that squad. Dalglish did the same for us when he left the first time, but I would never blame him, due to his health problems.
I dont always get in the "who would get into this team from another" argument often, as it's a team game. Our midfielders arent amazing on the eye, but for those that appreciate a good defensive midfielder like Fabinho, Kante, Keane etc we do alright, just none of them are spectacular. Same with Firmino, he doesnt score enough, but he makes us tick offensively.
Shaw is much improved and is now a very good player, but to say he's well better than Robertson is frankly, insane. or inane - you pick.
So, Jurgen manager of the year, as voted by the GM forum consensus, and we're only in September - I'll take that.
I'm sorry but that is too much of an open goal. They beat Spurs 3-0 yesterday, 3 separate goal scorers, away from home and he didn't score. Clearly if Werner could finally hit a barn door from 3 paces then it would help them massively but I think that team can chip in from all over

Good point but I can't see other teams handing Chelsea 3 goals like Spurs did yesterday ?
Roy Keane after the match was tremendous ?

Last season they scored a total of 58 goals , the lowest of the top 10 i believe , their top scorer last season in the Prem was 7 goals and that was Jorginho and mainly penalties with them losing as well three of the players that got the goals
So yes take out Lukaku and they imo will struggle and one game against Spurs won’t change that opinion

Liverpool fans are extra touchy this morning. Did we not get a good night's sleep ?
I think they are a more rounded team this year though. Lukaku will score, he will create and also create gaps for others. If he gets injured then clearly it will affect them, not as badly as last year I suspect as Tuchel seems to be getting a pretty good tune out of them, but then so would Liverpool losing Salah. I think if Werner could discover his finishing then the rest of the league will be in major trouble as Chelsea then have a high quality back up but even without a spare CF they will be right up there. Anyone ahead of Chelsea wins the league this year, imo.
Incidentally, they don't need to win games like City do to win the league. The Chelsea defence is strong and 1-0, 2-0 will do them nicely. They don't need to win games 4-0, 5-1 etc.

Cool. Can't wait for you to start using them. Maybe let us know, so we don't miss them. ?No, we just have good arguments.

If you ignore City the year before with triple figure points, you're right.
Liverpool won't get top 2, wager for H4H from any Liverpool fans?

Sound, as this used to be called the premier league thread, you must be finding your feet by now after 2 years in 2 decades.

oooh, how arrogant! There’s a shock from a Liverpool fan….oops, shouldn’t comment as I haven’t been to a match for over year.
C’mon Pete, you’re way better than pettiness, surely.

Well maybe if the big Leeds fan actually went out on a limb and educated us, or found a nuance in an argument he wouldn't get short shrift, as can only be bothered having a proper discussion with people who at least offer counter arguments than just little crap digs.
I'll wait, he still has time to recover.
All fans become arrogant when they have a few years at the top, I'm enjoying our sliver of limelight again, may be some time before Leeds do again.
I'll give you Malaga away, if you show me a stub.
