The Premier League Thread

Leaving ourselves with one reserve CB is taking a risk though. And we don't even have spare RB who can fill in for KWP on Tuesday.

Shea Charles will be our fourth choice CB I imagine, let’s just hope we don’t lose Downes and two of Stephens/Bednarek/THB at the same time.

I was listening to it on the radio, sounds like the plan from Sheffield United was to draw Villa on to them and counter.

Problem being you need a competent defence to do that.

Sounds familiar. You need a competent defence and/or some devastating options in attack to at least give the opposition second thoughts about just piling forward. Last season we had neither. Hence last place

Hoping they turn out to be worse than Saints last season. If they can't get a higher score against, then win less games. To be worse than dog s**t Saints is going some though.

Sheffield Utd have conceded more goals after 23 games than any team in Premier League history

 

[oldstocktonsaint]

Still no 9-0 though. Lightweights!

I will be very surprised if Roy is still in a job by Monday evening.

Just had a quick look back at last season.

Sheff Utd have 10 points after 23 games. Burnley have 13 points after 23 games (including 3 against Sheff Utd).

We had 18 points after 23 games (and without the benefit of a Sheff Utd below us to take points from).

We were really bad last year. Which says so much about Sheff Utd and Burnley this year.

Such a shame that Burnley are being terrible. They deserve so much more

IF, if we go up, I don’t want us to be the next Sheffield Utd or Burnley. Great season in the Championship, followed by Armageddon. It won’t be all Arma’s fault though.

JWP had a golden chance from a FK but hit the wall. Still yet to score a FK for West Ham I believe.

Must not have yet as the next one equals Beckham so will definitely have some noise made in the media about it

 

[st_brendy]

Feels like he's had more penalties rather than shooting range FKs this season.

 

[San Tejón]

Teams have known for a while that if they stopped giving Saints free kicks in the JWP zone, it would cut off an opportunity to score and we seemed to get fewer opportunities each season.
They have just carried that game plan forward to West Ham. I have watched quite a few of their games just to see him equal Beckham and he has had very few free kick chances.
I think JWP should be more concerned that he might lose another chance to go to a finals with England, not just because WHU are giving Phillips an opportunity to get some game time in, but also because it was reported that Southgate went to watch Jordan Henderson in his debut for Ajax.

 

[st_brendy]

Not the great start to Phillips' West Ham career so far. Still early days though.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Poch's Chelsea in the **** again, I wonder how patient they will be with him?

 

[tomw24]

VVD

 

[st_brendy]

Massive win for Arsenal.

But I suspect the real winners are Man City.

 

[saintrichie123]

3-1
