Their defense is going to be the strength of the team. Wan-Bissaka was a huge difference-maker. He completely shuts down the right side.

Throw in the best goalie in the world and it will definitely be a strength. In January we will need to sign another striker. But promising start to the season

Wait...who is the best goalie in the World?

Was about to say this. It's not De Gea, he might not even be top 4 or 5 at this point.

De Gea is world class. With an improved defense, I think he will have a better season this year.

It's going to be a long season for Chelsea.

Glad to see the fraud Lampard is being found out.

They'll have some decent results but they'll be 6th at best this season but imo they'll be 8th/9th

Don't think man united are particular good either, Chelsea were dominating until the penalty. 4th at best for them. More likely 5th

Paying $80m for Pulisic and have him come off the bench seems like a dumb move tbh.

Based on last year - I don't think De Gea is the best goalie in EPL. The two Brazilian goalies at Liverpool and ManCity were as good if not better than De Gea last season imho. Just based on last season - I'd rate Alisson over Ederson and then De Gea.

Also, Oblak was hands down the best goalie in the World last year and it wasn't close. He was ridiculously good.

And, Ter Stegan was better than De Gea as well last year. As a Barca fan - I'd not swap Ter Stegan for De Gea.

And we will see how Neuer does this season. Last year was a lost year for him. I think he was the best goalie in the World before his injury.

I think De Gea had a great 2017-18 season and that is the ONLY season where ManU fans could make an argument that he was the best goalie. Neuer was still best but you could argue for De

Not this summer though. There were several goalies who had a better year than De Gea last season.

Yea, well not sure why you'd want a player who doesn't want to be there.

...and selling Lukaka was a good move for ManU.

All of this. Based on Last season, and some of the cracks De Gea was showing the season before that. Allison, Ederson, Oblak, Ter Stegan, possibly even Samir Handanović.

However, I'm willing to concede that with an improved Defense, he won't crack under the stress of carrying his team, and he might return to form.

Based on early returns, Neuer is absolutely back to form this season. He's looked great so far.

...then in that case - everyone else is fighting for the 2nd spot because before his injury - it wasn't close.

Barca is offering 112 Mil + Rakitic and Coutinho for Neymar. I could see Coutinho and the money, but Rakitic? I wouldn't do it. Rakitic is too valuable in the midfield.
