They just buy expensively and then loan them to other teams and then let them go for cheaper. Grin

Corrrect. Lukaku is no longer young so he would be more suitable for Serie A, especially AS Roma. Because he found a suitable coach and had actually worked with him at a previous club. Mourinho and Lukaku already understand each other. So now we can see AS Roma improving slightly on the front line after bringing in Lukaku. Unfortunately their defense is still bad so they are still having difficulty getting into the top 4.

Yes but the idea to bring him back to the Premier League would be stupid. I don't know what Chelsea's plans look like because as far as I know it is about them right? He is still a loan player for AS Roma and if Lukaku now scores a lot of goals in this season for Roma, I see the worst case coming that Chelsea wants to try it again with him and he would waste another year with the Blues.
Lukaku is no longer suitable for the EPL. Actually, we cannot say that he is very old. He is 30 years old not old actually, he is so tall and he loses his speed, so in my opinion, he is not suitable anymore. It would be best for him to stay in Italy, if such a wish even exists.

This player is no longer on Chelsea's agenda. In order to get out of these problems, they need to decide on the right players again to be a competitive team in the EPL.

Lukaku is getting older and he is no longer suitable to play in the Premier League because his speed is no longer the same. Chelsea don't need Lukaku and they could look for another striker instead of bringing Lukaku back to Stamford Bridge. While playing for Chelsea Lukaku did not provide anything meaningful for the club and he was loaned out. If Chelsea are now interested in him again, I also think it will make Lukaku return to the worst condition he was in when he was there.

Lukaku is more suited to playing in the Italian league and Rome is a good place for him because there is Jose Mourinho who already knows Lukaku's character and style of play. Deciding to move to Chelsea was a bad decision and I don't think Lukaku will make the same mistake.

We are leading the league table. Villa and Arsenal are no threat. City is concern but 5 points behind. Hope we don't lose motivation.
The EPL table keep changing and we know the elite clubs that would become competitive. Motivation, consistency and hardwork is what Liverpool need to fuel the stage. You're mocking other elite clubs yeah? Who has the best laugh? The EPL campaign have not ended, so these clubs mentioned have potentials of climbing to the first spot. Liverpool is lucky enough to have Jurgen Klopp who have boosts the onfidence of the club at Anfield. You're a Liverpool fan, you're happy, it's normal but don't get carried away because there are clubs that might not be doing good presently but they will certainly bounce back to good form.
This season is still very long and there are still quite a lot of matches remaining, the top teams are not far apart in points so it is very possible for shifts to occur every week.
Liverpool is indeed leading the standings at the moment, but looking at the distance between the points and several teams below it, of course that is not a guarantee for Liverpool to be able to maintain it.
I agree that we should not underestimate any team in the Premier League, and as has happened in previous seasons, the competition for the Premier League title is quite fierce because almost all the teams in the top flight have capable strength.
This is a very complex competitive dynamic where each team still has a big chance of winning the title, Ups and downs in performance will definitely occur for each team and this is normal. I agree with you, Until the point gap becomes wider, there is no guarantee that the position will be safe.

Liverpool, Aston Villa, Man City and Arsenal, who currently occupy the top four, have the opportunity to swap positions, and Tottenham could even have a great chance of breaking into the UCL zone. we can only say that the competition will be increasingly fierce, and we cannot predict which of them will finish as champions at the end of the season.

It could be that a club that dropped a lot of points in the first half of the season will bounce back in the second half of the season, and that's the kind of thing that I think attracts more attention. on the other hand, two other elite clubs, Man United and Chelsea, are experiencing a decline in their identity as big clubs, Who knows, These two clubs will rise and create surprises in the future.

Liverpool had faced lot of upsets last season and now this season they are coming back strong. Glad to see a rival coming back up from hard time. However yeah City can make their gap to 2 points considering they are one game behind Liverpool at current. Also season is still long and Liverpool also has to make sure that they maintain their consistency otherwise others will overtake them on the table. Arsenal missed their best chance and Villa are also trying hard so it is what gave Liverpool the room to lead the table. This season is bit unpredictable and I am loving the way things are getting warmed up by the middle of the season.. can't wait to see how it builds up next.

Liverpool have not performed well in the Champions League this season, making it a bit easier for Liverpool  to perform consistently well in the Premier League. Although  they are playing in the Europa League, the  Europa League teams are relatively weak.

Liverpool played  very poorly last season. But their  performance has been very stable since the  beginning of this season. They  have been able to maintain consistency. At the same time,  Liverpool players are not  getting too many major injuries. This is why their  performance is stable. While Arsenal and Manchester City have dropped points in several matches, Liverpool have managed to hold on to the top spot in the points table.

Yes, I agree that Liverpool's failure in the Champions League might make them more focused and energetic to perform well in the Premier League. This can result in more preparation and attention to domestic matches, so that consistency can be maintained. and competition in the Europa League is not as fierce as in the UCL, and Kloop's intelligence in rotating players allows them to keep key players fit for the more important Premier League games.
and failure in the previous season might be a trigger for extra motivation for Liverpool players to prove themselves. This can create a high competitive spirit in the team,
If Liverpool can maintain the team's performance then I am sure they will win the Premier League title again this year

5 points behind, but with a game in hand. Right now Liverpool are the biggest threat to City's quest for a record 4th EPL title in a row, but the thing is, City become unstoppable just at the right time, and that time is approaching; this is why they have won so many EPL titles in recent years. Liverpool might be strong from now until the end of the season, but they can only be champions if City don't go on their long winning runs, City are better than everyone else in a title run-in and we're going to see it play out this season for the umpteenth time.

The battle for the Premier League title is going to be more crowded in the future. Manchester City dropped points in 3/4 matches in a row. But they have managed to solve their own problems. And their performance in the last few matches has been quite stable. Haaland and De Bruyne are returning from injury. Hopefully we will see better performances from Manchester City in the upcoming matches.
The Arsenal team was at the top of the table for a long time. But they have fallen behind as they have dropped points in the last three matches. The most consistent team in the Premier League at the moment is Liverpool. At the same time, the performances of Aston Villa and Tottenham teams are also quite strong.

Of course, Tottenham will fight for the top 4, only one point separates them from Arsenal, and only three points from Aston Villa, so nothing is lost for them yet. I assume that the main fight for 4th place will be between Tottenham and, as strange as it may sound, between Aston Villa. I still doubt that Aston Villa will be able to consistently maintain the level of play that they demonstrate, but I will be glad if I am wrong. It’s a pity to see the decline that Newcastle has experienced, they showed an excellent game at the beginning of the season, but now everything has changed dramatically.
Yep. It is still reasonable for Tottenham to fight for the top 4 (UCL zone) because the point gaps between the top 5 teams in EPL standings look quite small. It is getting interesting because the teams in the top 5 aren't playing really consistently lately. So, there is a big chance for some changes in the position of the teams in the second half of the season.

Regarding Aston Villa, it is quite surprising to see they are in the top 4 of EPL standings. They look stronger than the previous season. It is still different with Newcastle, they are now much weaker than the last season. However, it is still the first half of the season, there is still high chance for the changes on the position. Let's see which team to play more consistently in the second half of the season. I believe the team that has a better squad depth probably will play more consistently.

I don't know what Arteta have for the fans this new year if is a brand new disguised disappointment we have to see again no one knows. All I want to see this second part of the season concerning Arsenal is that winning ability to be there, the boys need to be consistent in everything they do.
Losing points and dropping out of the race for the EPL title isn't what the fans want and some crazy excuses from the manager, last year we got so many complains about VAR but to me I don't see those as excuses to why the Gunners lost most of their games.
This time chances need to be converted and Arteta need a real striker to make the wingers look serious in getting more of the ball in the opposition's box. To me Gabriel Jesus is not the striker the Gunners can rely on at this stage of the season.

No doubt that people called arsenal as a bottle club since it was always a missing opportunity to beat the easy team. Arsenal is going to repeat the same result like last season and im not doubting that there will by many haters are going to mocking this club.
The gunners will have no bullet at the end of season caused by arteta has used it all at the early till mid season. Im awaiting for another bad result from arsenal. The weak club just need to use parking bus to make sure this club to lose some points.

I see no reason for arsenal to win the trophy this season caused by manchester city and liverpool are coming back as the strongest contender to win the title this season. Arsenal is very weak right now.
The players have lost their motivation to play better. This is the main problem that is often occuring to the club that has no winning mentality. Arsenal is still very far from winning the competition.

I thought if it was too good to be true to happen. Arsenal will be breaking its own record again soon.

Is true that they're good at messing up and for Arteta to be in this position he is at the table only means they have lost so many points and chances which isn't healthy for the club, if this continues it will only be when the fans start shouting for Arteta to be fired. If Arsenal mistakenly win the league I'd just say it's luck because they haven't shown any sign of improvement from last season, is like they're repeating same mistake and wishing to win the title.
As it is, City are topping the league that's if you add up those outstanding games (the points) which to me they'll win it, you know that Liverpool and the others have no chance of bringing the Citizens down, so is best for this Arsenal team to start hoping for other teams who are competing for the title to lose while they win their games.

Fullham is weaker than Arsenal so if they can win the match against a big opponent like Arsenal, they will take every chance they can have. Whatever tactics is used to beat Arsenal is not too important for Fullham. How many points they get is more important and they got maximum 3 points from the match.

It is a very big success for Fullham and 3 points from Arsenal, helped Fullham to move farther from the delegation zone. With 24 points, they are safe with their temporary position and point differences against Sheffield, Burnley and Luton. It will lit up their fight for survival to stay in Premier League.

With Arsenal, this defeat is very bad for them and now they already drop to the fourth position with 5 points less than Liverpool, 2 points less than Aston Villa and same 40 points as Manchester City that have one extra match to play.
Arsenal's defeat is certainly very detrimental. Apart from being behind Liverpool by five points, they are also behind Man City and Aston Villa. This was a bad start to the year for Arsenal because they were immediately in fourth place in the standings.
Arsenal lost the most important thing that he had at the beginning of the championship stable game and to lose two consecutive games to average teams, when the fight is for every tournament point is very strange. Ahead of Arsenal have a cup game with Liverpool and then games with Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest, and both teams have won their games and are in high spirits, unlike Arsenal, which after the game with Liverpool in general unclear in what condition will be, which only complicates the situation for Arsenal

I think Manchester City will soon overtake both Arsenal and Aston Villa and move up to second place in the league. 
Due to sudden decline into their performance and having 3 defeats from 5 games with 1 draw and 1 win is surely never been ideal, but this happens into middle of the season which is good instead of happening near the end of season and losing title like last year currently they are at the fourth spot with 5 points difference from leaders Liverpool and chance of fightback is available, but they need to work on their weakness like they fail to score goals in their last 2 games and have only 3 goals from 5 games, and they concede 6 goals which bring their defense down which is also needs to be fixed.

Liverpool is surely currently at their best with Manchester City is also already at the third spot and their next game can bring them to the second, but we can expect fierce fight for the top spots in these teams which are having quality players and good performance but need to be consisted of.
This year the fight for the first place in the EPL is as strong as ever and if before Arsenal's loss was probably only taken advantage of by Manchester City, now Liverpool and Aston Villa are also fighting for the highest places in the championship. Arsenal should not relax, because last year they were literally one step away from the championship, but lost the first place and for them the loss of points is especially painful because it may turn out that for the championship title they may be missing just one or two points, which they lost in games with teams like West Ham and Fulham.

I think West Ham were more happy with the result of this match because Brighton attacked them like a tiger. They took many positions. I was expecting them to score a goal, but they never scored. West Ham goalkeeper Areola was the main player who brought 1 point to West Ham.

Areola's performance in that match was very good. he was the dive of the team when Brighton was very strong in attack. However, the Brighton players have to admit how good West Ham's defense was. not just Areola, but all players who play defense when they are not given the opportunity to develop an attacking game.
Maybe this good performance is what sparked rumors that Chelsea was interested in Areola some time ago. and maybe if West Ham sell him, Chelsea will buy him.

In fact, this draw is very profitable for Westham but not for Brighton, this draw is too negative for Brighton because they dominated this match, even though Westham in this match did not perform too well, this can be seen in fact they have better players. and didn't even have an injury crisis but their game didn't improve in this match.

This draw meant they failed to equal points with Westham and Brighton fell further behind, now three points behind. However, this draw was also quite entertaining for Brighton because they managed to get one point and shift Man United's position, which is currently in eighth place.
I think Brighton's draw was disappointing after dominating the encounter. Like they made all the correct moves but couldnt close. West Ham held their own despite not being at their best. West Ham's Areola was a goalkeeper wall. He stopped sure goals whenever Brighton lifted their game. Frustrating, right? You dominate a game, but one player wont let anything pass.

Brighton's little lead over Man United is minor. However, they trail West Ham by three points. Small margins can make or destroy a season. Imagine if Brighton had been more clinical in front of goal. Games like these remind you how important every point is, especially when chasing teams above you in the table.

Newcastle Unites was doing good job but suddenly as they have few injuries and suspension of the Tanoli this give them big shock with things are going from bad to worse for them in last few days, and they are dropping points frequently in early rounds they were right on their target and things were completely favourable but suddenly as fans were expecting they achieve more than expectations they lost their points and form which bring them down in Premier League and also having early exit from the Champions League.

Eddie Howe is currently under pressure with his job is also under threat even most chances Saudis will not take any quick decision and will wait for the end of this season with improvement option is still available, but now it's time for them to act quickly and create chances for their best result in coming matches even now challenges are tough but still achievable for them.
What Newcastle United is currently experiencing cannot be separated from the fact that many of their main players have suffered injuries, causing the team's performance to decline very drastically, that is quite normal in my opinion and many teams have also experienced this.
However, expectations regarding Newcastle United's performance are too excessive, thinking that they can be like last season or even more, in my opinion is a big mistake because what Newcastle United experienced last season was a surprise that is difficult to repeat.

I think Eddie Howe is still quite successful and it would be a big mistake for Newcastle management to plan to fire Eddie Howe. Based on what Eddie Howe has given, it is appropriate for him to be kept on for longer to progress and enable the Newcastle team to quickly recover from its downturn.

I predict a draw for this match. So far the competition between the two teams has been quite even. but seeing Brighton's dominance in that match, they had a chance to win.
West Ham didn't attack much, but they used the right strategy to reduce the aggressiveness of the Brighton players. it was quite an effort to last the entire match. and they succeeded even though they had to settle for a draw. at least the two teams shared points and West Ham managed to maintain the points difference with Brighton
You are really lucky, I expected over 2.5 goals in this match because they hardly play draw based on past games and also I noticed how West Ham have been scoring goals recently but i think maybe it was due to brighton’s drop of form else they could have scored a goal and if one goal is in it will be the gateway for more goals. The two teams created many chances but failed to convert any, brighton was clearly the better side as they had more goal scoring opportunities and failed to score. The match was interesting one to watch despite losing my bet as no team could score a goal.
Maybe you haven't been lucky with your bet Cheesy Incidentally, I didn't watch this match in its entirety, but I saw the final result, both teams couldn't create chances and the match ended in a goalless draw, it's a shame West Ham couldn't win even though previously they were able to beat Arsenal in an away match but unfortunately in this match he could only get 1 point but that was better than losing and the most important thing is that both teams had to be satisfied with this draw but Brighton failed to shift WestHam in sixth place.
I think West Ham were more happy with the result of this match because Brighton attacked them like a tiger. They took many positions. I was expecting them to score a goal, but they never scored. West Ham goalkeeper Areola was the main player who brought 1 point to West Ham.

for me, both Man City and Liverpool are the best candidates this season to win this trophy.  Man City just needs to prove to us that after the return of their key player who was injured, it means that the next 2 matches should be able to bring 3 points each. With opponents Newcastle and Burnley being the only way for Man City to continue to survive alongside Liverpool. Meanwhile we will put this postponed match aside because it will be a meal at the end of the season. Seeing Liverpool trend of being one step ahead of Man City we still cannot feel safe, for Jurgen Klopp just a difference of 5 points is not enough to stop Man City enthusiasm.
The most frightening thing about Manchester City is their late game mode and as we know they also did it last season when they fell behind Arsenal. I agree that Jurgen Kloop will not be able to calm down even though he is now 5 points away from Manchester City and Liverpool still has to continue its winning trend if they don't want Manchester City to start threatening him.

This season's competition belongs to experienced coaches and Pep Guardiola's battle against Jurgen Kloop feels more tense than other coaches. I feel the high intensity of the rivalry and I still don't place Arteta in the circle of these two great coaches.

Westham playing a draw against Brighton shouldn't be called shameless like is Brighton a joke? Remember Brighton is an average club in England that sometimes disgrace big teams even Westham should be happy that they earned a draw against Brighton because Brighton is stronger than Westham despite that Westham is higher than them in the league table and if you check the match yesterday, you will see clearly that Brighton dominated the game but they were just unlucky not to score after firing 8 shots on target.
Brighton isn't a team that should be seen as weak or underestimated because like you rightly mentioned, they do make games really tough for bigger teams and even end up winning in some cases so I must say that West Ham drawing against Brighton is considerably a fair result because I feel it's very possible Brighton would have won even playing fr away.

West ham did played a good game for me and deserves to have won the game but then Brighton has a very good defensive mechanism that can't be penetrated easily except if their opponent has got a better attack and striking force to be able to break through their defense, they are both average team and I wasn't expecting a goalless draw from them, by the end of the first half I was anticipating some goals by the second half since they couldn't get any in the first half but then both teams were really tough on each other and not letting loose of their defense at any point.
