I know I’m late. I am not considering this weekend’s results, if that matters.

It will be interesting to see if Man U first week result was a blip or an indication of how much they are in disarray. I expect LIV result was only a blip.
I don’t necessarily think ManU is disarray. They just do not have talent. Fred and McTominey are guys you have if you want to compete for Europa with Leicester and West Ham. Their D is worse. Rashford has never advanced.
I am a little concerned about Liverpool’s midfield. I have never liked the way Thiago fits in. Hendo is getting older. They need to move towards Jones and Elliot. A-A gets beat too much on D as well. They did not have to add 3 attackers since January and nothing in the midfield. They will need to add a MF to advance in CL.
Take your pick on the reason but they are playing terribly.
Fulham undefeated after two games against good teams!
I wouldn’t consider Wolves a good team this year tbf. They should avoid a relegation scrap, but will be surprised to see them in the top half
But BRE 4 - 0 MUN is certainly a result that speaks to disarray.
And with their fairly difficult run of games coming, up, ETH should be the bookies favorite for next manager to get the sack.

Liverpool continues to be horrible in the MF and teams attack A-A. Simple solution there. Move A-A to MF and put Gomez at RB. Thiago has been awful for his entire time at Liverpool Super talented, but not meant for that style. An experienced player that has now conceded 2 meaningful penalties, this one that was crushing after 2 comebacks. Hendo and Thiago seem over-matched in every game.
BHA is so well disciplined as a team. Great to see them play solid every week spending less on the starting XI than any big 6 team did on their top transfer. Great to see Bournemouth hanging in there are well. Shocked Fulham is better since they tend to alternative with Norwich on the up/down thing. Newcastle is for real. Expect a big transfer in January to potentially make a run at CL.
Bow low, so you can see me way down here!
