@@FRV3SCeNCe Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions!!! Which team has the best goal difference in the league? Which team has conceded the fewest goals? Which team has won the most games? Which team's manager has the shiniest head? These are all important considerations.
People didn't even have Liverpool in a title race at the start of the race. Some didn't even give them the top 4. Then it became about new them not playing anyone. Now, it is about whether they would be lauded despite them weathering a tough run of fixtures. It's crazy man. Just appreciate them, accept you got your prediction at the start wrong and move on.
57:07 I definitely get what you mean, but vand de ven ran at the ball against man united and ran the length of the pitch for a brilliant assist. Furthermore, the midfield and fullbacks seem to get ran through whenever they're sluggish leaving the center backs hopeless regardless. I think it's unfair to fully blame the center backs pressing when there is multiple lines of press getting played through like it's nothing.
I’m a spurs fan, and you hit the nail on the head, 80/20 sums it up and it has to change, and it’s soooo frustrating that the only person who doesn’t seem to get it, is the only person that can change it. We have so many good things going for us but our lack of changing tactics even if small, is killing us.
@@preethamhazardChelsea came to a terrible Manchester United team and looked very average.... Enzo hasn't done anything impressive or different at Chelsea YET
@@PureBassO Yeah, one game against United tells you everything, right? What about the games against Liverpool where they went to Anfield and dominated them, albeit loosing narrowly? What about games against Brighton who have only lost to Chelsea and have beaten City, United, Spurs and drawn to Arsenal? And Newcastle who have beaten Arsenal, Spurs, drawn to City? And against Arsenal went toe to toe with them.
@PureBassO breaking news: World class player makes team better. That's like saying Liverpool haven't been impressive cause salah is making them better. Chelsea are 3rd in the league when everyone predicted them to finish closer to bottom half of the table with maresca sacked by Christmas
Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth, Fulham .... great to see how these teams are playing and challenging the established top sides. Really exciting season and I hope a watershed in the league. Pep has been very successful and effective with Man City, but he brought a style of play, that others tried to copy, that for long periods of play is boring to watch during the backwards and sideways movement from side to side whilst probing and creating the gaps. The more direct play that other teams are beginning to be brave enough to try is really refreshing and much better to watch.
Speaking from a Chelsea fan's perspective. Brentfords set-piece coach arrived in the summer, and if you look at the stats our set pieces are improving (albeit slower than you'd ideally want) specifically our defending of set pieces. I imagine it'll take time to see obvious improvement in that area. Regarding the issue of big teams marking Cole Palmer out of the game. Maresca's solution that leaves Gusto with tons of space only brings issues because of Reece James' fitness imo. In an ideal world it'd be him in those advanced areas (and it would be devastating to the opponents were he to have that much space), but its unclear at the moment if he has the fitness to go up-and-down having come back from a long string of injuries, hence why so far this season we've seen him tucking in as a 3rd CB to save his legs. If we can see James in the "Gusto role" as the season develops I feel those big teams will be unable to stifle the team by solely targeting Palmer.
@@Chimera211x I've been impressed with Chelsea this season. They're back to being one of the best 5-6 clubs in London. I dont think anybody saw that coming 2 years ago.

Brentford have arguably gotten exactly the points they should've been expected to have gotten ... Their away form is not (yet) a massive concern when you actually look at who've they're played on the road as of yet ... Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Tottenham and Fulham ... and you could make a reasonably coherent argument that they probably would've deserved to go home with *something* at both visits to Manchester, and very nearly got away with theft-of-the-year against Fulham ( ... on the reverse, you could equally easily make the argument that Crystal Palace had deserved something from their visit at GTech) Brentfords big problem this season (as of yet) is that we're still without any highly enough skilled Fullbacks, and frankly haven't been ever since Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey got injured last fall, so in every game it's a bit of a roll of the dice as of who's playing on which side... as of yet we've had two CBs (Ajer and VanDerBerg), a midfielder (Janelt, Mr.JackOfAllTrades) and a winger (Lewis-Potter) together with our 3rd/4th choice Fullback (Roeslev) who tries his best, and usually just about gets away with being 'serviceable enough', but ultimately probably aren't at the Premier league level. Unfortunately Hickey got re-injured in his rebuild, but hopefully Rico Henry is edging closer to being match ready, at which point I expect Brentford to be able to clam a bit down, and not in the same way looking after scoring loads of goals, since we know that we have to given our somewhat makeshift backline
I'm not sure why we're not talking about Villa's poor form more. We've been off it since the tail end of last season and if it wasn't for Duran's incredible goals and some comebacks, we would be well off it. I'm incredibly worried by our complete inability to keep a clean sheet too. If this poor form continues then things are going to be worrying because we currently have no players playing consistently well.
19:29 There's no evidence Reece James is going to 'eventually' do anything different to what he's done so far, which is be injured more often than not. Why does anybody think he's suddenly going to start staying fit?

@@DanielS10291 Less to do with how good Kilman is more to do with the fact we didn't sign anyone, our best centre back got injured, and the 2/3 left just aren't good enough. Also poor management.
Come on, guys! Why isn't anyone talking about Mitoma? Since the day he signed with the team, he's been consistently creating chances and posing a threat to opposing teams. I mean, he's incredibly skilled! Why isn't anyone discussing him? Just because he's not exceptional at scoring doesn't mean he's not valuable. His assists are impeccable, and his ball control and first touch are flawless. Opponents are so aware of him that they often mark him with two players. He even scored in the last match, and still, nobody's talking about him.
When Chelsea signed Brentfords set piece guy I'm pretty sure he was meant to be starting this season. Brentford didn't want him starting midway through last season. What I see is Chelsea struggling with setpieces and Brentford being as good as ever, so how much were Brentfords more creative set pieces down to this set piece guy and how much was down to Frank? I dunno for sure but Im feeling like Frank was giving the best ideas and this guy was just fine tuning through the coaching.
As a Liverpool fan, I agree if we win the league, it’s not going to be one of those all timer leagues which is a weird feeling cause it’s still the same players lol Maybe it’s cause everyone is still tentative about what it means cause it’s so different from Klopp so no one is really sure what to make of it
I was screaming for Forest to sign Liam Delap last Summer and then last Jan, knowing we have one old striker and one injury prone one. He woulda been a perfect understudy to Chris Wood. Oh well, at least England have a young striker who looks a threat.
Watkins is just not getting his shot off as much as you like. Morgan Rogers too. They are taking too many touches in the final 3rd imo. They need to move the ball a little quicker and pull the trigger with more confidence.
Fixture difficulty is a hard concept to sell. Liverpool playing Bournemouth and Wolves playing Bournemouth is not the same fixture difficulty. A relegation candidate like wolves will always have one of the hardest fixture difficulty just because there are so many better teams.

"Goes past players like they aren't even there at a PL level which is really really rare"... Can we stop this notion as if the PL does not have the most athletic and electrifying players on the planet especially when it comes to dribblers... Eze, Cunha, Mitoma, Fatawu, Ndiaye, Kudus, Semenyo, Olise, Hutchison, Adama, Hudson-Odoi, Bowen, Gordon, Rogers just to name a few before getting to the Big 6 with Saka, Martinelli, Savio, Doku, Grealish, Salah, Diaz, Nunez, Son, Johnson, Bissouma, Rashford, and more and more
As a Liverpool fan I honestly think the talent level of squad that Klopp left is out of this world and has made Slot's job extremely easy. Sometimes I think that Van Dijk could be player-coaching this group of players and they would still finish top 4.
Well said. Klopp deserves far more credit than he gets. Those VAR calls against MC, Arsenal and Spurs did for us last season along with the injuries. This is a good squad.
@@nonnayoubuzinnes1669in fairness you still wouldn't have won the league if those went your way. Honestly I think it changes nothing in terms of position.

@@ACE360x I hear you but using a similar metric to how you arrived at your conclusions, that would have been a possible 9 points added to the 5 in which Liverpool were ahead before their drop off. Which would mean they would have been 13 points ahead. Wouldn't have been caught then
@@ACE360x liverpool stopped trying after some time. when it was clear liverpool would not win the league, it became more a celbration of klopp in the last few games.
The Slot to Ange comparisons make no sense like the spurs players overnight at the start of last season looked miles better and it was clear that a few of them were just having purple patches at the same time. If u look at the liverpool players yes u can say diaz, gravenberch and konate are performing better than they arguably ever have so far this season so they could get a bit worse in weeks to come but then there’s players like trent, robertson, mac allister and szoboszlai who have all not been amazing so far this season so they could hit purple patches when the others aren’t quite there or they all could at the same time and we could blitz the league. It’s the classic comparison of form is temporary class is permanent, yes slot and ange were both new but these players have been class for years now
45:50 blaming the team for Hojlund being too low iq to make proper runs and prefer to wrestle is wild. The guy has 0 striker instinct, all his runs are timed wrong, in poor areas or just blocked off. His anticipation is poor, movement, first touch and positioning even worse. Its on him to make the runs. A striker makes runs to be found not the other way around and you can see Haaland make the correct runs every single time in those positions. He's the worst striker technically in the league. He's short to every cross or blocked off. Aerially he's poor and loses every duel. He never knows how to find space in the box. Every pass directly to him bounces off his trampoline touch. "No service" is the biggest myth being spread that don't actually watch the matches every week. It's pretty dangerous pushing that because all it does is push blame on the team even if they're creating chances for fun this season for everyone (but can't finish). None go to him because its 70% his fault.
Acting like dropping deep wasn’t an instruction from ETH. Interesting how you say he also is poor technically, watch him play with Denmark in a functional system mate.
@@benwilliams1426 hes absolutely horrendous for denmark and does the same thing so clearly you have no idea. was embarrassing vs serbia and spain. you lot are actually clueless. blaming ten hag for him "dropping deep" theres actually a bottomless pit of excuses for the worst ST the club has ever seen with the lowest technical ability in the squad. hes already admitted to wrestling too much. you deserve to not see goals if you support garbage like him. 👍
Where is this blind confidence for Crystal Palace? There are so many concerns that you listed. That midfield 3 is not keeping anyone in the PL. I have more confidence in Wolves, who can actually score goals.
Is it just me that thinks arsenal with arteta in charge have never been that impressive? They always had to rely on comebacks and late wins ... I wouldn't be surprised this season if they don't get top 4
re villa we have decent players but lack creativity with 1 top level winger baily who is off form , and our only top level no 10 rogers is a mile from the finished article , 1 point off 3rd sounds reat but we had a cushion on teh teams around us but draws against ipswich man u and bournmouth and defeats against spurs and liverpool have allowed the pack to catch and just about overtake us , for 2 years we have been winning games (averaging 2pts a game) 4 ways 1/ playing very well (not so much this season ) 2/ having Watkins when the opposition did not have watkins (he's had a bit of a dip in form) 3/ bit of luck at times (late goals opposition misses..) 4/ emery being a top coach (still is but others have caught up very quickly)
So arne slot is not dumb enough to just play through for teh sake of it against some top pressing teams so he bypasses a teams press and plays longer passes to wingers 1 v 1 and james making it out like they are Burnley just hoofing to a big man what a load of nonsense arsenal are playing like Burnley winning off set pieces and arteta gets lauded but slot gets hate ?
What an idiot ... imagine the absolute nonsense james is talking saying we're not good enough to play teams ... and saying we're playing all long balls is bullshit ... it's longer passes to a winger to go 1 v 1 it isn't just long balls ... look at arsenal they go longer 10x as much
It's gone from slot has no chance to they played nobody to now oh they don't play short passes and play into teams organised pressing and they shouldn't be lauded because there using there wingers to expose fullbacks 1 v 1 ... absolute clown james is he just never gives liverpool credit whatsoever
1:07:45 Does this guy actually watch United?? Outside of the Spurs game (and the huge mistakes in the Liverpool game), United really hasn't been that bad as a whole. Blatantly robbed of a point against West Ham and very, very unlucky to not get a result against Brighton. Get those 2-4 points back and we're right up there near 3rd. lmao The only massive deficiency is the goal-scoring; tons of chances are made but there's no one clinical enough to finish them. Saying that United is comfortably the worst is just self-flagellation, and too many United fans are far too eager to hate on their club.

With Brighton it’s always ‘unreal squad depth’ but when it’s chelsea who have a similar if not smaller squad size, it’s always about the squad being too big.
Can you not see the clear difference in recruitment? Chelsea have superstars on the bench - who are expecting to start. Brighton have squad players willing to rotate.
@@StevenWebster_ Lol so you're saying it's better to have worse bench players...? Despite the 'superstars' on the bench, Chelsea have drastically reduced their wage bill the past year and still have at LEAST top 3 squad depth in the prem.
@@StevenWebster_ load of nonsense. If anything Chelsea have been much better at rotating players this season. With the way football is going, elite teams are going to have to play 60-70 games every single year so EVERYONE will have more than enough chance to play, especially considering the frequency in which major injures are now being picked up. The fact you’re trying to act as if having quality players on the bench is actually a bad thing, makes no sense. Also not sure where you got the idea that 30m Wieffer went to Brighton to happily be a rotation option? But whatever fits your agenda!
Man City segment seemed over long. Concluded they need a lot of luck. Like they don’t already get to spend unchecked, fly refs out to Dubai, never lost points to var,whilst their opponents all do. They win points via VAR, the Manchester cartel refs favour them every game and make sure their opponents lose, Everton and Man Utd will give them 12 points between them, during the run in teams will roll over, play weak teams allow them to win easy by letting them score early. But agree city need luck

Eze, Cunha, Mitoma, Fatawu, Ndiaye, Kudus, Semenyo, Olise, Hutchison, Adama, Hudson-Odoi, Bowen, Gordon, Rogers just to name a few before getting to the Big 6 with Saka, Martinelli, Savio, Doku, Grealish, Salah, Diaz, Nunez, Son, Johnson, Bissouma, Rashford, and more and more
19:40 it is the Conference League, what are you on about bro😂
I always get surprised to the actual impartial analysis on this channel. I’m so used to other commentators just spouting nonsense lol
What on earth are we talking about attacking half space? Lets pretend we're not a tactical genius lol
Thank you for timestamps
As a Liverpool fan I honestly think the talent level of squad that Klopp left is out of this world and has made Slot's job extremely easy. Sometimes I think that Van Dijk could be player-coaching this group of players and they would still finish top 4.
Well said. Klopp deserves far more credit than he gets. Those VAR calls against MC, Arsenal and Spurs did for us last season along with the injuries. This is a good squad.
@@nonnayoubuzinnes1669in fairness you still wouldn't have won the league if those went your way. Honestly I think it changes nothing in terms of position. Arteta would've gonna terrorist ball and won or most likely draw. Citeh and spurs likely would've have been wins but the injuries and the runs citeh and arsenal went on 2nd half were actually a joke
@@ACE360x I hear you but using a similar metric to how you arrived at your conclusions, that would have been a possible 9 points added to the 5 in which Liverpool were ahead before their drop off. Which would mean they would have been 13 points ahead. Wouldn't have been caught then
@@ACE360x liverpool stopped trying after some time. when it was clear liverpool would not win the league, it became more a celbration of klopp in the last few games.
Nonsense. Good players are no guarantee. Very different way of playing. Not inevitable at all
Liverpool disrespect is absolutely nuts man hahaha
Brighton is the most dangerous threat for the title race🎉
The Slot to Ange comparisons make no sense like the spurs players overnight at the start of last season looked miles better and it was clear that a few of them were just having purple patches at the same time. If u look at the liverpool players yes u can say diaz, gravenberch and konate are performing better than they arguably ever have so far this season so they could get a bit worse in weeks to come but then there’s players like trent, robertson, mac allister and szoboszlai who have all not been amazing so far this season so they could hit purple patches when the others aren’t quite there or they all could at the same time and we could blitz the league. It’s the classic comparison of form is temporary class is permanent, yes slot and ange were both new but these players have been class for years now
Hind sight is great but Arsenal really should have kept ESR, Fulham was gifted him and he has been incredible
sounds like Joe had to prewrite his entire part of the podcast. Bro sounding goofy asf
I only wanna watch content that says my team's gonna do well
45:50 blaming the team for Hojlund being too low iq to make proper runs and prefer to wrestle is wild. The guy has 0 striker instinct, all his runs are timed wrong, in poor areas or just blocked off. His anticipation is poor, movement, first touch and positioning even worse. Its on him to make the runs. A striker makes runs to be found not the other way around and you can see Haaland make the correct runs every single time in those positions.
He's the worst striker technically in the league.
He's short to every cross or blocked off. Aerially he's poor and loses every duel. He never knows how to find space in the box. Every pass directly to him bounces off his trampoline touch.
"No service" is the biggest myth being spread that don't actually watch the matches every week. It's pretty dangerous pushing that because all it does is push blame on the team even if they're creating chances for fun this season for everyone (but can't finish). None go to him because its 70% his fault.
Acting like dropping deep wasn’t an instruction from ETH. Interesting how you say he also is poor technically, watch him play with Denmark in a functional system mate.
@@benwilliams1426 hes absolutely horrendous for denmark and does the same thing so clearly you have no idea. was embarrassing vs serbia and spain. you lot are actually clueless.
blaming ten hag for him "dropping deep" theres actually a bottomless pit of excuses for the worst ST the club has ever seen with the lowest technical ability in the squad.
hes already admitted to wrestling too much. you deserve to not see goals if you support garbage like him. 👍
I can see Arsenal finish outside Top 4 this season
James broadcasting from his cell?? 😊
Where is this blind confidence for Crystal Palace? There are so many concerns that you listed. That midfield 3 is not keeping anyone in the PL. I have more confidence in Wolves, who can actually score goals.
Is there even a direct Joao Palinha replacement? No player is similar to him anyways.
How often do 17 year olds actually start for the big 6
Is it just me that thinks arsenal with arteta in charge have never been that impressive? They always had to rely on comebacks and late wins ... I wouldn't be surprised this season if they don't get top 4
re villa we have decent players but lack creativity with 1 top level winger baily who is off form , and our only top level no 10 rogers is a mile from the finished article , 1 point off 3rd sounds reat but we had a cushion on teh teams around us but draws against ipswich man u and bournmouth and defeats against spurs and liverpool have allowed the pack to catch and just about overtake us , for 2 years we have been winning games (averaging 2pts a game) 4 ways 1/ playing very well (not so much this season ) 2/ having Watkins when the opposition did not have watkins (he's had a bit of a dip in form) 3/ bit of luck at times (late goals opposition misses..) 4/ emery being a top coach (still is but others have caught up very quickly)
Reece James is a myth
48:58 Dan Burn’s not really a CB… 🤔
Brighton could finish third 💀
James is always digging out Liverpool. Honestly what’s wrong with him?
So arne slot is not dumb enough to just play through for teh sake of it against some top pressing teams so he bypasses a teams press and plays longer passes to wingers 1 v 1 and james making it out like they are Burnley just hoofing to a big man what a load of nonsense arsenal are playing like Burnley winning off set pieces and arteta gets lauded but slot gets hate ?
This is a shocking pcast.
What an idiot ... imagine the absolute nonsense james is talking saying we're not good enough to play teams ... and saying we're playing all long balls is bullshit ... it's longer passes to a winger to go 1 v 1 it isn't just long balls ... look at arsenal they go longer 10x as much
Nwaneri 8s a 9.5
Can we put a ban on people using the word remontada? It’s so cringey, just say comeback
It's gone from slot has no chance to they played nobody to now oh they don't play short passes and play into teams organised pressing and they shouldn't be lauded because there using there wingers to expose fullbacks 1 v 1 ... absolute clown james is he just never gives liverpool credit whatsoever
Strange phrasing talking about "we're not good enough to play through you so we'll go over the top." Ridiculous, selective narratives.
Jump on the wagon guys, Joe Tomlinson reads off a script. Not a clue what he’s on about. Suprised James brings him on….
Not the biggest fan of Joe Tomlinson tbh. Great listen however 👌
1:07:45 Does this guy actually watch United?? Outside of the Spurs game (and the huge mistakes in the Liverpool game), United really hasn't been that bad as a whole. Blatantly robbed of a point against West Ham and very, very unlucky to not get a result against Brighton. Get those 2-4 points back and we're right up there near 3rd. lmao The only massive deficiency is the goal-scoring; tons of chances are made but there's no one clinical enough to finish them. Saying that United is comfortably the worst is just self-flagellation, and too many United fans are far too eager to hate on their club.
SLUGS
Im surprised at his palace knowledge👏 used to write off this manure ging
Emery brought through Saka and Smith-Rowe, not Arteta
This dude can't be a United fan and say that Pep is the greatest manager ever. What a knob.
He said coach tbf but yeah loses rodri and he's struggling
Word of advice, I wouldn’t have marked the teams, or put them in alphabetical order. I’m not willingly gonna listen to shit about Brentford
Well then don’t? Use the timebar to skip. There are other people who DO want to hear about Brentford. Big six merchant.
@@skaoxyz I'm trying to help the creator, fuck are you doing spreading hate and assuming mad shit?
How embarrassing do you wanna be?
There's a reason he's done about 6 videos on Amorim, coz it gets views, it helps the channel. I'm buzzing he's got a role with the Premier League. Naturally this video is gonna have low viewer retention.
Big up you being a brentford fan, but no one cares
if he didn't mark the teams how on earth would you find the teams you want mate?
@@xDrigerYou're the only one embarrassing themselves
@@alexblake5264 "embarrassment
noun
a feeling of self-consciousness, shame, or awkwardness."
Promise you I'm not xD
With Brighton it’s always ‘unreal squad depth’ but when it’s chelsea who have a similar if not smaller squad size, it’s always about the squad being too big.
Can you not see the clear difference in recruitment? Chelsea have superstars on the bench - who are expecting to start. Brighton have squad players willing to rotate.
You actually have zero ball knowledge if you cant see the difference between both clubs
@@StevenWebster_ Lol so you're saying it's better to have worse bench players...? Despite the 'superstars' on the bench, Chelsea have drastically reduced their wage bill the past year and still have at LEAST top 3 squad depth in the prem.
@@agustinrojas1751 He didn’t say it was better, he said it was different. A clear difference.
@@StevenWebster_ load of nonsense. If anything Chelsea have been much better at rotating players this season. With the way football is going, elite teams are going to have to play 60-70 games every single year so EVERYONE will have more than enough chance to play, especially considering the frequency in which major injures are now being picked up. The fact you’re trying to act as if having quality players on the bench is actually a bad thing, makes no sense. Also not sure where you got the idea that 30m Wieffer went to Brighton to happily be a rotation option? But whatever fits your agenda!
Man City segment seemed over long. Concluded they need a lot of luck. Like they don’t already get to spend unchecked, fly refs out to Dubai, never lost points to var,whilst their opponents all do. They win points via VAR, the Manchester cartel refs favour them every game and make sure their opponents lose, Everton and Man Utd will give them 12 points between them, during the run in teams will roll over, play weak teams allow them to win easy by letting them score early. But agree city need luck
