It's hard to find starters to usurp those already there off the back of 99 and 97 point campaigns. Especially those with a pressing mentality and team ethos that requires personal stats suffer in midfield so others can flourish elsewhere. Our entire team builds through the fullbacks and the wings. Our midfield has to cover or it all breaks down quickly. I'd take 3 Kante's in midfield if I could.

Consequently I wanted another Chelsea player as a super sub off the bench this Summer that didn't happen. Giroud feasting of Trent and Robbo crosses specifically wouldve been a master stroke especially since he was on a free.

Last year started well... And then massive injuries happened. Virg out for the season in October, Gomez out for the season in November, Matip out for the season in January, Henderson out for the Season in February, Jota missed 12 weeks from mid December, Fab missed from January til March, etc. Knock on wood but I never expect to see that again.

City, unless Kane happens, look vulnerable. Chelsea obviously have what it takes to beat them and think Liverpool will rack points as well albeit more workmanlike than flashy. United pieces still don't add up to a title and Ole still at the wheel but they should out talent the remaining 15 teams.

I'd have more players off West Ham or Villa than I would Spurs and Arsenal are a hot mess. Bitters may touch Europa spot with a real manager as well. Season is wide open but top 4 should be set same as last
