Spurs are currently top of the league. Here’s a look at the relative strengths and weaknesses of the rest of the pack.

  • Arsenal and City are so (boringly?) similar

  • Liverpool looking most well rounded

  • Villa similar to Spurs but without the press

  • Brighton similar to Spurs but without the defence and counters

  • Chelsea look dangerous… if they can find the net

  • Newcastle worse than results would imply

  • United better than results would imply

    It’s a pity that there’s so few purple in the Lemmy soccer community. We need to find a way to make it bigger.

      Post content and replies consistently over time and it’ll grow. The problem is people expect it to be like the other networks that have been through that process over decades. Takes time and tenacity to build communities. :)
