10 points clear and we still can't shake off the whiners. We could beat Real Madrid 4-1 in a Champions League final and some dry arse on here would still be moaning we didn't close Mbappe down quick enough for their goal.
High level drivel. Its already been mentioned elsewhere that we've conceded very few from open play, additionally our defenders contribute massively to our attacking play that 'bails them out.'
Frank will sign a new attacking player in Jan who will score 25 goals from then until end of the season and will win the Ballon D'or within 3 years. Bookmark it.
7 from open play suggests the defence is doing a ridiculously good job, set plays is more of a whole team defensive failure, although that might be what you meant.
Tbh I can't be arsed to go fully through it but if it was me spending the funds I'd want real quality over spreading thin on players possibly no better than what we have. You give me £70 - £100 mil I'm spending it on 6-7 players as close to sure things as you can get. 4-5 we have now will have...
Cba to be overly generous, the list would probably look something like..
Boro: Hackney
Bristol City: Mehmeti
Hull: Hughes
Ipswich: Philogene
WBA: Price
Watford: Louza & Chakvetadze (if he's still the same player after injury)
Leicester: Fatawu & Monga (for potential)
That's genuinely about it...
Prem clubs also miss a lot of quality in the Championship. Crystal Palace are one of the few teams that are good at it and they regularly pick up really top players.
Said before building a 'Championship super team' doesn't really work. I'd look at maybe 2 players maximum from a small list of maybe 10 players maximum. I would be really happy if we looked at Mehmeti in Jan as I do think he's one with Prem potential.
When I talk about teams in the same division in a massively simplistic good, average or shit kind of why I'm usually using us as the comparison. On that basis i don't think we have rivals, they are all fucking shite.
