Premier League 2021-22 Discussion Thread Soccer

Confirmed now with an official announcement from the club.

Something needed to change and it wasn't going to be Bielsa, so I think this was inevitable.

 

[Legion]

Leeds have confirmed the appointment of Jesse Marsch as the club's new head coach.

Will be interesting to see how Marsch gets on in the Premier League.

I still think Bielsa would have kept them up and I'm not convinced anyone else can do a better job with the current squad but time will tell.

Man City thumped Man United today to re-establish their 6 point margin at the top of the Premier League.

De Bruyne and Mahrez both scoring twice.

United are now in 5th place, a point behind Arsenal who have played 3 games less.

Things I love to see.....Man United being an absolute train wreck!

Pity they couldn't have turned up today and done Liverpool a favour. City battered them in the second half and it looked like they just gave up. I wonder if Rangnick is regretting going to Old Trafford?!

 

[Legion]

Great performance on the pitch and off it. Man Utd arses handed to them.

 

[Tom]

Brentford and Newcastle have given themselves some breathing space with results in recent weeks.

It now looks like any 3 from 5 could go down - Burnley, Watford and Norwich are the current bottom 3 with Everton and Leeds just above the dropzone and still in real danger.

 

[Son Of Jack]

Everton are at risk of a Premier League points deduction as they're on the brink of breaking profit and sustainability rules.

They've recorded combined losses of over £260m between 2017 and 2020 - £155m more than is allowed over a three-year period.

No club has been found guilty of a breach yet and the club will ask for allowances to be made for COVID.

I wasn't aware of this rule in the Premier League but this would be a major blow for Everton as they fight relegation.

 

[David76]

Norwich and Watford look as good as gone and Leeds took another battering at home to Aston Villa tonight.

I'd say Burnley have a real chance of staying up when you look at the form of the teams around them.

 

[Son Of Jack]

Reports suggest that Man City have a deal in place to sign Erling Haaland in the summer
