If your only source was Chelsea fans on Twitter, you'd think that Ross Barkley was Frank Lampard reincarnate, Mateo Kovacic is barely midtable quality, and Hudson Odoi is Kylian f***in Mbappe.

We all knew that Arsenal would cool down eventually. They were always poor defensively but they won games by scoring a ton of goals. Lichsteiner and Koscielny were great in their day but they are both finished and we see how little depth Arsenal have on defense for these two to play.

All the teams will drop points obviously but I think it LFC/city battling for 1st and Arsenal/Chelsea being a toss up for 4th while Spurs are safe at #3

What’re you talking about. United clearly will have the greatest comeback of all time and win the league.

Sike

For real though, if Chelsea gets a striker they’re gonna be dangerous.

Hope they do something to fix the defensive come January, not hopeful about it though.

Unlikely as defenders will only be sold at a premium and other clubs with deeper pockets will outbid them. Better to wait until summer and get a solid player for a more reasonable price like with Torreira.

Yeah it will be a summer business project. Here's hoping we can get by until then. People need to stay healthy!!

I've probably said it 20 times, but it really sucks that we won't get to see a full-strength West Ham team this season. Arnautovic has been out the past few matches, but with him, Felipe Anderson, Lanzini, and Yarmolenko as a front four this team would be even more clinical.

Hopefully, they hold on to everyone this summer, Arnautovic included, and add a few key signings.

Felipe Anderson is the most important player for West Ham right now.

Fabianksi close 2nd.
