October 25, 20204 yr There's no way Burnley will sack Dyche any time soon, but it is possible he might leave. I don't think Parker has long really, Fulham v WBA next week looking like a really big game.
October 25, 20204 yr Hard to know what to do at Fulham as Parker stabilised them when they got relegated so maybe they have balanced the books after the summer splurge 2 years ago and happy with Parker even if he does bring them back down. But getting beat every week could push him out anyway
October 26, 20204 yr Only took 6 games for every team to have registered a defeat, love that about the league this season. Its back to the 15/16 season where anyone can beat anyone. How can it possibly be explained Villa beating the champions 7-2 then getting spanked 3-0 by a promoted side in their very next home game. Absolute madness. City particularly looking average as hell so far. I expect the usual cream will have risen to the top in a month's time but we'll see. Very glad Everton fans were brought back down to earth yesterday.
October 26, 20204 yr Author Hard to know what to do at Fulham as Parker stabilised them when they got relegated so maybe they have balanced the books after the summer splurge 2 years ago and happy with Parker even if he does bring them back down. But getting beat every week could push him out anyway I think most Championship watchers would tell you that while Fulham conceded less goals last season, they were still bang average. I like some of their players but there just isn't enough quality there. It was always going to be tough after getting promoted and so little time to prepare.. RFC called it earlier, that West Brom vs Fulham game is massive next week. Genuinely think if someone gets beat there the losing manager gets the boot.

Very glad Everton fans were brought back down to earth yesterday. It really does seem that this year 85 points will get you the league. City should probably have beaten West Ham, but like Liverpool they've got bad injuries now and don't have a striker for who knows how long. I still think on the evidence of everything that I have seen so far, City and Liverpool will begin to breakaway, both have a good set of fixtures coming up after the international break. Everton had no chance, they had spanked some of the worst teams in the league and should be on two defeats in a row. Hopefully this starts their relegation form now :D
October 26, 20204 yr I think it's a massive shame Brentford fell apart at the end, I'm confident they'd be making a far better fist of it than WBA and Fulham have in the opening games. It's often an underrated job to prevent a team that were so bad going into complete freefall and Parker did a good job last year, but reminded me much of Darren Moore the year before, you always felt they had the potential to be a lot better than they were given the players they had, a lot of stars that underperformed overall last season. Fulham's season got better when they put Rodak in goal and then signed Hector in January, and they were both amongst their top performers. It felt odd that signing a new GK was the first thing they did and Hector almost moved back to the Championship after three games whilst Tim Ream STILL starts in that defence!

October 26, 20204 yr Agreed would love the Brentford team to stay together they only have the M left!
October 27, 20204 yr Anyone else watch the Monday Night Football lastnyt and the debates between Carra and G Nev, some great debates!
October 31, 20204 yr Chris Wilder is on the longest winless run of his managerial career. Sheffield United are without a win in their last 11 games in all competitions.
October 31, 20204 yr It feels like normality is being restored now and we're not seeing crazy scorelines like earlier in the season. Teams that are expected to win matches have been in the past 2 weeks.
November 1, 20204 yr Author It feels like normality is being restored now and we're not seeing crazy scorelines like earlier in the season. Teams that are expected to win matches have been in the past 2 weeks. I think it was a case of teams being a different levels mentally and physically with not having a pre-season. I also think that teams are starting to conserve energy in matches too, especially with 3 subs. Very happy with Liverpool, not playing brilliantly, but we weren't at this time of the season last year also. Hopefully after the international break we will be near enough back to full strength minus Virgil.
November 1, 20204 yr Quite some game between Aston Villa and Southampton. Southampton surviving a scare at the end there.
November 1, 20204 yr You do need to do it in the Premier League as well as the Champions League, Ole. Another abject performance from Man United in the league.
November 2, 20204 yr Author You do need to do it in the Premier League as well as the Champions League, Ole. Another abject performance from Man United in the league. Arsenal played really well, but there is something seriously wrong with Ole. He has not got a clue, whenever they come unstuck he just looks baffled on the touchline. They have some ok fixtures coming up and if they win their game in hand they are not doing that terrible, but to lose your first 3 home games of the season is absolutely atrocious.
November 2, 20204 yr He started for a draw again with mctominey and Fred which says it all. He will get them to the top 4 again and you never know in the champions league anyone can win especially if they are made to play on the break which they love.
November 7, 20204 yr An interesting interview from Ole after the match between Everton and Man United. He was rattled there.
November 7, 20204 yr I thought more than anything it was a strange thing to bring up straight after a good important win to be honest regarding the gap in fixtures.
November 7, 20204 yr It is ridiculous that your away in Europe on the Wednesday in turkey of all places and then first up on Saturday in the league
