Not a “4 year low”?

I’d have waited a few more years before writing that, particularly given that this years number is only marginally lower than a few years in that massive window of time.

“You look at Vincent Kompany at Burnley - stunk the place out in terms of points last season”

I’d have stopped after the word out.

It's so predictable now with most teams, sideways passing, etc, which allows defences to get organised. The leagues should ask Pep Guardiola to reinvent football again with wingers, dribbling, long passes and shooting from distance so the lemmings can all follow the messiah.

In fairness I have been posting on here about the lack of goals and clinical strikers in the Championship for a while now. Including after the set of midweek fixtures early in November that produced a total of just 20 goals from a set of 12 matches.

I’ve wondered if some of the players capable of scoring 15 - 20 goals in the championship are now happy to sit on the bench in the PL and get 20 minutes here are there. Is the gulf in finances that big that PL clubs will pay a lot more to a squad player than a championship club could even consider?

Well, we're not helping.
