The Premier League Thread

9 goal thrashings are unusual as they take both defensive collapse and a certain attacking vindictiveness. Leicester were cruel and United would never have scored 9 unless they had Leicester's goal tally in the back of their minds. We were pretty unlucky!

 

Fair play to Havertz. He's really turned things round over the past month or so.

 

Havertz gets the probable winner after escaping a second yellow for diving in the area.

VAR looked at it to rule out the penalty, but weren’t allowed to point out the dive. Absolute madness.

 

United would never have scored nine if we hadn’t had a second player sent off by It’s all about me Mike Dean.

 

Well done Chris Kavanagh. That's a red for me.

 

My first impression was it was just a yellow, but it was nasty.

 

What’s McGinn thinking

 

It was nasty and cowardly. Went for the player. Deserved his red.

 

Seen plenty of them when I was playing Sunday league

 

I’m gutted tbh. Spurs have played so well today. It’s really annoying. Would love villa to pip them to 4th

 

Felt plenty of them too!

 

Watching the premier league, I can’t help but think our squad is talented enough to compete but physically miles adrift of the absolute units in every side!

 

With our current squad, there would a huge questions regarding our ability to complete if we were to go up. But that is what the summer transfer window would be for. Sheff Utd and Burnley both had horrid summers last year, and it's showing in their league positions.

 

We would need a Udogie if we wanted to stay up.
Or a Wanyama!
I would take Hojbjerg too!

 

We lack pace in most areas too.
Not one of our defenders are above average speed.
Midfield is possibly even slower than the defenders.
Up front and wide we have Sulemana who is rapid and Edozie and Adarma with some pace, and Fraser if he stays with us.
And yes we aren’t physical enough.

 

Foden almost scores the fluke goal of the season.

 

A free kick was given for handball (correctly).

 

City look so much better without De Bruyne. He looked unfit to me.

 

I cannot believe that wasn’t a pen!

 

Jeremy Doku will be the most relieved man in Liverpool right now. Could easily have been a pen.
