2022-23 Premier League season thread

Chelsea had a nice UCL win over FC Salzburg yesterday 2-1 which, I think, puts them through to the knockout rounds. Potter has done a very nice job of calming things down after all of the turmoil and getting the team back together. Tuchel was one of the best tactitions I have ever seen, but he refused to add the General Manager role to his responsibilities and they "had" to let him go. Potter has been a pleasant surprise. He seems to be doing a good job of managing egos.

I was hoping Pochettino would go to Chelsea. I like Potter, and I'm afraid of how good Chelsea might be under him.

What's going on with Liverpool?

Good question. They just aren't very good right now. I keep waiting and expecting them to get it going.

Man City had a "good" win against Leicester Saturday. 0-1. Haaland was out. Rogers did a good job of making it ugly, and it almost worked. They were playing with 9 or 10 back. Tough to watch, but I thought MC did a good job of sticking with it.

Exactly. It seems like they keep finding ways to lose, as opposed to ways to win. I keep thinking they're about to go on a run, but they seem to sputter every time.

Wasn't a good match week for Villa, but Newcastle is playing some really goof football right now.

It was a great win for them. As the season drags on, I feel confident that their depth will have them overtaking Arsenal for the Premier League title.

Villa beat Man United 3-1 in Unai Emery's first game in charge! Three points clear of the relegation zone and hopefully we can keep climbing the table.

Hasenhuttl sacked by Southampton.

Luton's Jones up next @ Southampton?

Villa and Emery win another one!

Was a great last minute winner for United by the 18 year old Garnacho over Fulham.Is there a more petulant prima donna on the planet than Ronaldo?His crying to Piers Morgan of all people is truly pathetic.He has ruined his legacy at United.

Ronaldo needs to just go away. United to just forget about trying to get back any of his transfer fee and just get him out in January.

They probably will. If they get anything, it won't be much. And he makes 500k per week.

Read an interesting article on ESPNFC stating that Liverpool will gain an EPL advantage over the WC break because they have the fewest players in the league going to the WC. Hard to believe. I think it said they had 4 players going. IIRC Chelsea has four players staying behind. That will be a great rest/ back to fundamentals time for Liverpool.

That would be SO AWESOME to see!

I guess I need to watch the full interview. I've heard snippets, but not the whole thing.

After watching the first 10 minutes of that interview, that sounds like an interview tailor made to get him out of Manchester, ASAP, which is exactly what he wants.
