Lack of crowds isn't bothering me at all. I've found that they're less likely to play up to the crowd and rely on home support. As seen in the poor home record in the games so far.

Same, I've started to actually just enjoy some of the matches for what they are. You can obviously still see there is passion within the players still.

Makes me really excited for the EPL to be honest, can't wait to see how teams respond to the circumstances and if any perform rather differently because of it.

Of course a lot become more motivated with the crowd but you may get some who flourish with the lack of crowd pressure too.

I keep thinking matches at Goodison Park are going to seem so weird without all of the moaning.

I think Arsenal stand to benefit the most because it’ll actually sound like there is an atmosphere.

I'm sure we'll probably perform better at home without the low murmer of 45000 grumbly old gits and the occasional "ffs..."

Sancho with 17/16 G-A with 5 games to go for a possible 20/20 season in league terms (and is already 2 assists away in all competitions). Difficult but doable if he plays throughout.

I wonder how many players have achieved that in the modern game in a top European league. I thought Messi did but he has barely missed out a few times

Kane and/or Dele must have come pretty close a couple of times.

First Englishman to have 15G/15A in a Top 5 League since Matt Le Tissier 26 years ago

VAR Keeps on doing my head in. Guerrero’s goal for Dortmund is called off due to Haaland’s shot being deflected off Düsseldorf’s defender and hits Guerrero’s upper arm. Reply shows that Guerrero has his lower arm close to his body and is moving in to the box. Not a foul imo

I don't think it matters if his arm is close to his body under the new rule. They will rule out any goal scored with a hand ball.
