Never watched much before but for obvious reasons now taking an interest. After watching Arsenal and tonights derby game it will be more important how good our central defenders are on the ground then in the air. Never seen so few crosses in open play. Wide players seem to never to cross just interested in finding feet and working ball into box and turning defenders. Just made me think what will be our best combination to combat this.
I appreciate i have just watched the top sides and that Dunk/Duffy will be first chice against Burnley Stoke etc

premiership isnt all Arsenal playing intricate little triangles, still alot about getting the ball down the channels and whip into the big/quick fella in the box.

premiership, premiership, premiership. deal with it, in fact make a point of saying it to weaken the brand a teeny, tiny bit.

If you're genuinely upset with people say Premiership; rather than Premier League, then I have a sneaky feeling that that you might not have got any action in quite a long time.

Oh my such a sweeping statement sweety. You should **********. The construct of your statement is also a load of jizz.

Doesnt watch much. Two games later a pro on the matter.

A lot of folk on Social Media thought tonight's Manchester Derby was cack but I really enjoyed it. United ceded loads of possession to City and there was some excellent defensive play there. The top teams really are very very good. Albion have to do the bulk of their work against 14 teams that are not near that level (but some that are not that far off) Thats a 28 game (and 84 points) window to find as near to 40 points as possible and hopefully scrap for others against the big boys to make sure of safety. It's going to be a long hard season.

No not having that. Leicester won the Premier League with mostly Championship players. Yes they had a miraculous escape in the first season but with a few additions, not many, they won the bloody thing a year later. The Premier League is not to be feared is what I am saying.

Agreed. Smaller and comparably sized clubs like Watford, Palace, Bournemouth, Swansea and Burnley have survived in the Prem for at least a few seasons, no reason why we can't.
