PL Final Table Predictions 14-15

Other than his spell at Spurs he's not done an awful lot. If he was such a good manager he would have walked the Championship last season with the players and resources he had. As for Leicester, I think the defence will be our downfall if we get relegated, scoring goals shouldn't be an issue (I hope).

I can see where your coming from, both teams have great players, both teams have great managers so it will be close I wont doubt that but with wide variety of players Chelsea have they are all of good quality and out number city's squad

Yeah it will be very close, although I think City's players are capable of doing everything Chelsea's can do and more. Chelsea don't have a midfielder capable of achieving what Yaya Toure achieved last season. Also if Aguero remains fit I have no doubt that he will be the leagues top goalscorer after missing out the last two years to RVP and Suarez due to injuries. If Negredo can find his form again then city will be unstoppable with the attacking options they have.

I think the only area City need to improve is their defence. Demichellis finished last season well but I don't think he'll be able to maintain that performance throughout the whole of next season. City should bring in another CB to play alongside Kompany.

They've also bought Caballero. He's not as good as Hart, but he's definitely better than Pantillimon so maybe he'll put more pressure on Hart's first team position and cause Hart to improve.

(Disclaimer: I'm not a City fan)

I honestly think City will win it again. A lot of people are saying that Chelsea will win the league purely based on the signings that they've made this summer, but do City really need to make any major signings with the squad that they have? I don't think so.

Diego Costa had a good season in the BBVA last season (much easier league than the Premier League) although when I've watched him in major games he's hardly scored or contributed at all (Champions League, World Cup)

As for Fabregas, he's played in the league before so he knows what's what, but I don't think his style of play really suits Chelsea. Fabregas is good at slowing down play and holding the ball in midfield, whereas Chelsea generally play quick counter attacking football.

Costa scored 8 goals in 9 Champions League appearances last season.

But in the later stages of the Champions League when all the **** teams had been knocked out and they were actually playing good teams Costa didn't do much at all

Like scoring the winner vs Milan?

Like I said, he scored against the **** teams, or are you going to try and tell me Milan are good?

But in the later stages of the Champions League when all the **** teams had been knocked out and they were actually playing good teams Costa didn't do much at all. He scored one goal against a decent team (Chelsea) and that was a penalty.

Suarez scored one goal against the 'top 4' last season (City, United, Arsenal, Chelsea), is he **** too then?

I'd love for you to show me where I called Diego Costa ****.

You said in the games you saw he 'hardly contributed at all' which by deduction means he was crappy

Against the big teams in the CL he didn't do anything. In the world cup he didn't do anything. That's all I said. I never claimed that he wasn't a good player.

Your whole argument was that Chelsea wouldn't win the league because they haven't made great title winning signings in Costa and Fabregas.

My argument was that Chelsea wouldn't win the league because they've signed players who've played well in different leagues, but haven't played in the Premier League (other than Fabregas). Their signings could play awful in the Premier League (e.g. Soldado scored 30+ goals two seasons ago, moved to Spurs and turned to ****). City have a world class squad of players who have already proven themselves in the Premier League by winning the title twice in the last three seasons.

They've signed 4 senior players, half of them have played in the Premier League before, other half are from the second best performing team in Europe which outplayed Chelsea. Your bias towards City is obvious

Chelsea would have won the Premier League last season if they had a potent striker, they dropped points at home to Norwich, Sunderland, West Ham, West Brom.

That's a rubbish argument anyway. Loads of players come from different leagues and perform well in debut seasons, strikers for example:

Torres scored 30 goals
Aguero scored 30 goals
Hernandez scored 20 goals
Bony scored 25 goals
Negredo scored 23 goals

Soldado scored a goal every 3 games which is hardly ****, he wasn't accustomed to playing as a lone striker.
