Le Football 2018/2019

We could sit here and dissect the past for hours and even then I doubt there would be one clear answer aside from the two best players in the world were on the two richest teams in the world and dominated.

In going forward I do think you're going to see PL teams do better in the CL due to the money they have now (assuming Brexit doesn't fuck it all up) but even then they have a couple of challenges in going forward:
1. Two domestic cup tournaments, they should stop having PL teams play in the League Cup. It's retarded, they don't value it and having it be just for the Football League would make more sense.
2. More even TV distribution, teams that should be cannon fodder for the top teams are instead able to sign very high quality players. Felipe Anderson went to West Ham, Fulham signed Seri from Nice just a year after he was about to go to Barca. I'm sure there are others I'm missing.
3. Inflexible TV schedule, the other top leagues move games around more willingly for their top teams to have more recovering time for the CL game. The PL does the opposite.
4. Growing gap in the other top leagues between the haves and have nots. This is happening in the PL as well but more slowly due to the TV distribution. Still going into this season we already know who the French, German and Italian champions are going to be barring a miracle. Barca may also walk their league as well depending on what RM do. That's a lot of games that are meaningless to where everything can be done toward solely focusing on the CL game. That's just not possible in the PL to anywhere near the same degree.

We’re forgetting about the Women’s World Cup in France next year. The soccer is coming home 19/20?

Looks like Jose is already unhappy, big surprise.

José Mourinho says pre-season is ‘very bad’ because of World Cup absentees

Are you saying you don't rate Fabinho as a DM or did you just forget LFC signed him?

It's somewhat funny to hear all the cry arsing about the amount of money LFC has spent but ManC and ManU can still spend more than us. Just because they choose not to do so in one window doesn't all of a sudden change anything in that regards and with 3 weeks still to go they just might.

Henderson hasn't been a box to box midfielder in years, maybe since Klopp arrived. Fabinho is definitely a DM though Klopp was commenting after the last friendly in that he doesn't want Fabinho to always drop so deep so maybe he wants him to play more like an 8? Otherwise will Fabinho unseat Henderson as the 6? For the amount of money we spent you'd figure he's a locked on starter but then that kind of leaves out Henderson who is the captain. Will they play together? It seems overly negative and would push Keita more forward which would seem not ideal. Guess we'll see. With the amount of games we should have this year they'll both play regardless.

Jozu why are you always talking in absolutes as if your opinion is a complete fact? It's like you can't handle that someone would disagree with you. We get it, you love Ronaldo and would have his babies. Congrats, really.

Yeah, we tried to buy him two years ago and would probably still buy him. He played well today.
