Match Day Thread 2017/18 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

meh.

 

proper.

 

Dat backheel do

 

Omg just watching MOD started a bit late
Wtf !!!!!
Going to take utd out of it as it is nothing to do with them as a team.
How the **** does a commentator translate player looking directly at the player and going in with his foot up. During the match you could see Valencia had lost it, guessing there had been something before or frustration. He looked like he knew he was lucky to stay on and immediately calmed down.
Htf does a commentator translate that to unfortunate seriously
Yes this is a ****ing meltdown !
Not bothered about the card colour or result just the knob head of a commentator!

 

Totally agree but i may have covered this before
That doesnt include the pen btw

 

Great insights from the colossal intellect of Phil Neville on the top 4 fight

 

The pen was easy to miss, ref was behind both players so their legs covered what happened. Ref saw Smalling lunge and the ball move away, no way he could have seen Smalling stamp on the players foot from behind 3 legs.

 

Dont agree with that analysis from Shearer
Lets be realistic here Utd had one of those days, seen it enough at our gaff. Only time will tell but i am going to bet that is the best that goalie plays in a newcastle shirt (actually bound to have a worldie at Anfield). Utd should have tanked Newcastle today, nothing went for them, actually agree with jose about the footballing Gods.
Newcastle need to buck their ideas up or they will go down, and obviously I want them to stay up.

 

Agree with that
I wasnt sure real time, i knew it was a foul, but could not and prob wouldnt have give a pen if ref, prob free kick. No idea who the player was but his reaction was awesome they pointed it out on sky, the one who sort of waved his arms lmao
That would be me on a pitch following a dismissal like mane’s

 

Never heard of the guy, for all I know that might be his average game, he did play well though.
Today was a game I (and I think most supporters) have seen many times, after about 30 mins the thought pops into your head "it's not going to happen for us today" and it usually turns out that way.

 

Yep, i thought that for you guys today, thought you were going to get the draw though after first half, frustrating 0-0.

I know there wasnt any doubt but i think that has finished the title race today. I thought when we beat City that city were lucky they had newkkie at home.

This is where fixtures arrangment plays a part in title imho, if city had say swansea with new guy straight behind the liverpool defeat followed by say utd that one defeat could easily have turned into 3 losses dampening their confidence and raising that of utds, guess that is the luck bit i think you need. Its not something anyone can fix, it just when things run for you. In the weeks leading up to us City had looked a bit ropey but there is no catching them now which is a shame for 5he league.

Do you still think you guys are on for second ?
The battle for these top four spots could go either way at the mo I think, i still wouldnt right off arsenal, but they are definite outsiders - think we have 5 potential banana skins left. Think you guys have four.

So three spots and five teams, think spurs may finish second with u 3rd hope us fourth but...

 

I honestly think it doesn't matter now, I think the gap to 5th is too big to throw away so Jose will now concentrate on winning something be it the FA Cup or CL we can at least go for both while bobbing along in top 4.

Ignore that, I forgot about Chelsea and was thinking of Arsenal

 

Think he has a couple already, probably more. How many does your hero Klopp have?

#fraud nearly got the second best team in a two team league relegated

 

Calling agent Sturridge....

 

Made for him tonight I reckon. I can see him notching if he starts, not sure WBA will be able to get a result though, depends on whether the Chelsea players decide to tank on Conte and see him off imo.

 

TBH I think conte is in full collusion with the players to get out. He's doing his damnedest in pressers to make Chelsea sound bad and him good.

West brom are woeful and all thier hopes are pinned on sturridge

 

He does look like he wants out I agree. Not sure tonight will see him out the exit though, as I think the players know they need the points for top 4 irrespective of Conte, and they need a performance tonight. Another intriguing game though.

 

No i think you are right he will have to dump the CL to get out. He's there for CL in RA mind and once thats done he's out.

Not sure about players though. The hazards of this world know west brom is not the shop window. They might just play a 0-0 deliberately. I think hazard will need to show he's up for a real Madrid move so sulking now would be detrimental surely.

West brom are so bad who the ****l knows what they will do

Foster in goal
Hegazi looks decent
Jay Jay up front with sturridge.

but that midfield is useless. Barry is so far past it its a joke. brunt is gone as well and really thats their issue. Pulis didn't want a midfield he wanted a 30% possession rate with losts of balls bypassing the area and set piece goals. Pardew has done NOTHING to address it.

The one thing about their plight is I am personally delighted pardew is shown up here. I don't rate him at all as a manager

 

Don’t agree about Barry tbh, he ran the show at Goodison, Pardew is playing him slightly more advanced so he’s not getting exposed, he’s only got about 70/75 mins in him though. Rodriguez has been impressive, he’s an underrated player for me.
