EPL 16/17

LIverpool and Chelsea have no European distractions so that has to be an advantage.
-
@Bovidae definitely an advantage. Chelsea are looking pretty strong under Conte now that he has worked out the best system for his players.
It's a great looking competition this year, 3-way tie for first, Spurs, Chelsea and Everton very close behind and playing well.

@antipodean Watched this game live yesterday. Ozil can look disinterested and then does something like this!
His hat-trick in the first game vs Ludogorets was classy too. The first 2 goals where with his right foot before getting the 3rd with his favoured left foot.

So how long has Mourinho got? He seems to be moving rapidly towards meltdown which usually takes him a couple of seasons at a club.
3 spectacular goals in the game in the Europa though - the overhead kick was something special.
Plenty of time I think. The team looked good against Burnley - just need to start scoring some goals.

Ha ha ha that is 24 carat!!!
How the mighty have fallen
"The team looked good against Burnley" You for got the words 'the mighty'

Liverpool are top, call it off now!

From the Champions League today, Leicester City beats Club Brugge 2-1 so qualifies as group winners in the last 16.
Spurs lose 2-1 to Monaco and fail to advance.

Arsenal draws 2-2 with PSG in a game PSG dominated. PSG are favoured to win the group with an easier last game and head-to-head advantage. Man City drew 1-1 at Borussia Moenchengladbach so also progress to the last 16.
Winning your group might not be such an advantage this year as Bayern and Real Madrid could end up 2nd in their groups.

@Rocky-Rockbottom said in EPL 16/17:
I don’t get it. So Spurs slog their arses off for a EPL season, to qualify for Champs league, then, mission accomplished, key CL game, on verge of elimination, they rest their key defenders… so they can qualify for Champs league next year… hello, they lose the big game and are bundled out of precious Champs league in group stages. “Oh well, maybe next year guyz! Let’s get some rest before our big EPL game on Saturday! It's a loooong road to qualify for next years Champions league!”
The theory is that Pochettino and Levy did not expect Spurs to make the UCL this year, and Levy (who is notoriously tight fisted) was not willing to spend big on players that would have allowed us to make a big splash in the UCL (so WTF he bought Sissoko beggars belief). Pochettino is merely being prudent and trying to manage the squad he has, unfortunately at the expense of UCL glory. We are trying to be Arsenal Lite

Ah Liverpool, there's the team i know. 3 goals + calamitous defending = predictable result.
It looked like Klopp had sorted the worst of the blunders out, but our best defender is out, and we are fucked. We need another one in January.
And our 2 keepers are both fucking useless.
It's a great Premier League season. It's like every month has a new favourite for the title. Even Spurs roared back to life this weekend.
