Today's Football 2018-19 Season

Even if they win they will be 2 points ahead of 3 other teams (if Arsenal win) of which 2 have had a ‘terrible’ start. Once again, why do people never learn?

Exactly.

Gomez at RB is something a decent attacking outfit can exploit. He has never looked comfortable at fullback. But Huddersfield are not that team.

I really dont rate their starting RB Alexander-Arnold. Gets forward ok but clueless at defending....just like a couple of FBs we have here.

I don't either. To me he's similar to Bellerin in that a lot of times he gets away with things based on pure pace. Not sure who at Everton you are referring too because I don't think any of them are like that. Kenny is bad at defending I guess but he doesn't get away with it very often. Coleman has really become fairly solid and Digne hasn't made a mistake yet. Baines is old and can't run so that's killed him.

Seems to be the modern thing with FB's. Defensive nous is so last century.
Even still reckon Huddersfield are going to get the kind of shellacking that makes kids in the stands cry.
That's my lame attempt at reverse psychology.

Come on Huddersfield!!!

Want them to do well today but Huddersfield need banishing back to the lower leagues. I don't need any more of this take 40 seconds at every throw in crap.

Neither Baines nor Coleman are great at defending.

Baines was fine in his day. That's been gone since about 2015. I disagree regarding Coleman. Most of our problems the last few years have come from the middle or left. He does his job.

So, thatsa one Paella, one meexed greel, and one a spanish omelet - what would you like to dreenk?

Alisson looks proper dodgy.

I hope they go to pieces and we can laugh at them, but realistically i expect they'll probably be a comfortable second at the end of the season, hopefully a long way back off City.

I'm not one to think unnecessarily well of them, and certainly wouldn't want to predict them finishing that high, but we'll wait and see.

I'm not going to not recognise their potential and make an unrealistic prediction.

I hope I'm completely wrong, nothing would please me more, but it's just not how I see it turning out this season.

Nasty injury for Glenn Murray at Newcastle. Long stoppage and Murray taken straight to hospital. Genuinely nice bloke, hope he's ok.

Good news

Alisson looks proper dodgy.

He makes some good saves but I don't get why people trust him with his feet

He reminds me vividly of David James - will produce one or two fantastic saves and then do something utterly stupid moments later.
