Premier League 2017/18

Terrific stuff from Sean Dyche and Burnely today winning at Goodison to move up to 6th in the table. Sensational away form - winning at Chelsea and Everton and drawing at Liverpool and at Wembley against Spurs.

@Nembo_Kid very quiet in hailing the wonderful job Sean Dyche is doing.

Lukaku the player of the EPL so far surely?

Has to be Harry Kane

No, 7 is a larger number than 6 and both Aguero and Morata are ahead of Kane.

Man U haven’t faced a side from the by now almost perennial Top 6 yet. The 7 games they’ve played so far were against the sides placed 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18 & 20 in the table. The accusation against Lukaku at Everton (borne out by his record) was that he was a flat track bully who scored for fun against the cannon fodder but went missing against the big guns. We’ll know soon enough if that’s still the case. Man U have Liverpool (a), Spurs (h) and Chelsea (a) in 3 of their next 4 games.

He was playing with dross at Everton, but you’re right, the next 4 games will tell the tale.

Man U are not Everton mate.

I see you’re evading the Paul Clement conundrum.

There’s no conundrum.

International break. Time to sack managers.

Klopp will be dreading the vote of confidence from the board.

Klopp still thinks he’s in Germania and he can grind teams down with relentless pressing… The EPL is the greatest league in the world and it’s alarming he hasnt figured this out yet.

In his last season in Germany, Klopp had this issue also, great pressing and midfield, no finishing up front and no shutting out at the back. He dominated sides possession wise, but the results were dreadful and the league table bore this out.

When is Lallana back? He brings great energy to Liverpool and has a lot more guile than Gordon Henderson who is a huff and puff merchant.

A lack of plan B and plan C is bizarre…

Klopp needs to get a proper striker in. Soneone like Lewandowski or Aubemayang.

Jonathan Northcroft had a piece in the Sunday Times yesterday which concluded that the relentless pressing is no longer a feature of Klopp’s Liverpool. I believe he used data to back up his point, but I didn’t read the article.

Klopp needs to get proper defenders
