Today's Football 2018-19 Season

[PhilM]

Looks like the late game is a showdown for their jobs between Mourinho and Hughes especially considering the team Mourinho has picked

Southampton are still awful so you'd expect that they will still lose. However, a draw would be best for me as my coupon would come in!

Burnley look in a spot of bother.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Benitez masterclass

 

[Mickey]

And people wanted Sean Dyche here

He's the ginger Sam Allardyce. Lash balls down the channels and get crosses in to the grocks Woods, Barnes and Vokes.

[TheBigIguana]

Has he picked Big Marouane again?

If so, he'll be fine

He's picked one of McTominay or Matic to play CB and has a midfield of basically all more defensive or box to box players with two strikers.

But yes he has picked Fellaini

 

[Chris O'Connor]

Who would have thought that Burnley 7th last year would be racing towards the championship with quite so much enthusiasm?

To be fair they did have the unwanted (was it really wanted Sean Dyche?) and massively poisoned chalice of the Europa qualifying rounds to contend with in their early season, but that early dip in form, perhaps caused by fixture congestion, has continued well into the season with possibly confidence hitting new lows by the week.

Also they massively outperformed last season and should really be a bottom half club anyway so couldn't expect anything like a repeat of last season, but they could be bottom of the league after the weekend if other results go against them and in the relegation zone regardless.

Europa League this year, Championship next year, eh Sean!!

The comparison to Allardyce isn't even remotely fair

His team play the way they do because he comparatively has zero money to work with at that club, so he has to get in grafters to have any chance

If he ever gets the chance at a club who have money to spend then a lot of people are going to have egg on their faces

I really don't think people correctly realise just how unbelievably well he's done at Burnley. A club with their finances by rights shouldn't even be in the Premier League

A relegation will absolutely not go against his record with anyone who has a clue

Felli will rescue him as always

I think they will have enough about them to pull away from at least 3 teams down there

Everyone currently bumming off this Andros Townsend goal.. what was it like?
