I called BrentfordLooking forward to the next round of fixtures, some cracking-looking games this weekend. Sounds like Klopp is pessimistic of midfield reinforcements despite Thiago injury, seems a shame as surely handing initiative to City?
Arsenal face a test against Leicester who are always tough to play, but I'm hoping our excellent set piece record and their seeming inability to defend them helps us along. Always wary of Vardy though, he likes playing us... Let's see how Saliba copes with him.
Fancy Brentford against the shambolic United, especially with Damsgaard who I think is a very clever signing.
Stevie G must be under enormous pressure at Villa - backed him massively in successive windows, stripped the captaincy and dropped the player, and his results in 2022 have not been convincing, with that horrible opening day loss to newly-promoted Bournemouth last weekend being particularly damaging. Will he get one over his old sparring partner Frank Lampard on Saturday? He's got his own worries, hopefully this doesn't make for a turgid affair!
Elsewhere Barca are 'activating' another 'lever', otherwise known as rapidly selling off future earnings to fund today's excesses. This should allow them to register their new signings, add Alonso from Chelsea, and meet the wage cap restrictions laid out by La Liga. Who know what they will do next summer!? Mad.
