What we said before the season: Kevin De Bruyne is the standout player (unless Lionel Messi arrives, of course) but how the “Stockport Iniesta” Phil Foden fares will have greater impact on the fortunes of a team left with a David Silva-sized hole after the Spaniard’s departure. Bet on the 20-year-old to go impressively. What actually happened: Fode...
What we said before the season: Can United really better last season’s third position? This is what has to be achieved in 2020-21 for Ole Gunnar Solskjær to be able to point to his team’s trajectory remaining on the up following the rise from sixth in 2018-19. Yet, to do so, United must surely somehow finish ahead of one of Liverpool – who were 33 ...
What we said before the season: Liverpool are not in desperate need of additions, clearly, and Jürgen Klopp warned from the outset the pandemic would affect his spending, as the aborted move for Timo Werner confirmed. But there is a need to freshen up and inject new competition into a squad relatively unchanged for almost three years. What actually...
What we said before the season: Although they have made impressive strides under Frank Lampard, it is unlikely they will be strong enough defensively to challenge for the title this season. Inconsistency remains an issue and, given Lampard is still learning his trade as a manager, there are bound to be a few more stumbles from this entertaining but...
What we said before the season: Leicester have a splendid team that can get even better. But, with others improving, they could go backwards if they do not adequately address shortcomings that led to last season’s weird anticlimax. What actually happened: Leicester suffered another weird anticlimax in the league. Having spent more days in the top f...
What we said before the season: The club are in crisis mode before a ball has been kicked as they continue to pay the price for poor transfer decisions. What actually happened: West Ham made fools of our predictions by finishing sixth in the table, their highest position since the 1998-99 season – when Ian Wright was their top goalscorer– and enoug...
What we said before the season: It feels as if José Mourinho’s tenure is truly about to begin. To be considered a success, he needs to win a trophy. This is why Daniel Levy hired him. Because he wins. And how Spurs crave silverware, having won only one FA Cup and two League Cups in the past 35 years. What actually happened: Mourinho guided Spurs to...
What we said before the season: The vision and clarity shown during Arteta’s first eight months are tantalising. If he is for real, as seems increasingly certain, the possibilities begin to appear limitless. What actually happened: Arsenal threatened to join the elite when they signed up for the European Super League but, other than that, they were...
What we said before the season: Leeds are shrouded in considerable uncertainty. There’s plenty of excitement, giddy optimism even, but it is impossible to predict what will happen when Marcelo Bielsa is perched back on his blue technical area bucket and his team cross the white line. Will they emulate the audaciously upward trajectory Sheffield Uni...
What we said before the season: Yet another rebuild is required for Everton, who were bereft of quality, effort and character in their final game of last season. There is a glaring lack of goals in the team and they need a new goalkeeper to challenge Jordan Pickford. What actually happened: A season of frustration. Having flirted with a top-four fi...
