Match Day Thread 2015/16 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

We just have to keep plugging away and see how high we can get. Winning is a good habit to get into even if there isn't a specific aim.

 

well we dont need to finish top 4 to play cl next year as Klopp will make sure we win the europa this year #nofear

 

But you dont watch to obsess and continually post moronic comments in the fashion of a broken record or a parrot do you?

 

You referring to my Astro account?

 

Yeh right lol

 

Arsenal fans need to chill. They are ponying up every game and wenger delivers 4th.
.

What do they expect... actual desire to win???

We will be shortly wondering which club is biggest in London

West ham with thier big stadium.
Arsenal with their quiet reserved and rich stadium
Homeless tramps chelsea and spurs.

Of that lot right now I can't pick the biggest bottlers

 

I see Swansea are latest takeover targets.

The guys in charge selling up on the cusp of massive tv deal to cash in and these vultures are gaining to get a bit of a shock I reckon.

 

West Ham had 5 legitimate goals in this game.. plus a certain penalty not given to them... feel bit sorry for them there

 

No chance at 4th now for them really.

 

Ref was bent and not even subtle about it

 

Sunderland v liecester has been dull

 

Yeah tbh Leicester have been quite dull for a while. They'll go on to win 1-0 though, getting the job done as usual.

 

The standard of football has been really poor. It is nice to see the underdog having his day from time to time. This may sound harsh but the leaders of the premiership are playing like a championship side. No passing. Just hoofing the ball up at the first opportunity. It may not be very PC to say this but I dread to think that this team may actually be the standard bearer for English football in Europe next year.

How does a team that has only one awful football system - kick the ball upfield and rush after it- within a few points of being champions? Unbelievable !

 

They hoof it up as fast as they can on the counter attack, otherwise they play it on the floor a lot. I would say they are best off the ball defending and closing down. It's amazing what you can do with a solid CB pairing and someone like Kante in the middle. But when Vardy and Mahrez are quiet, that's all they're really good at, they're not a great attacking side.

As long as Spuds don't win that's the main thing.

 

Leicester 1-0, Vardy. From a long hoof forward

 

There you go....hoof on the counter and boom.

 

Shocking defending. Sunderland have been good sitting deep not giving vardy space in to run behind, as soon as they do, chip into the space and its 1-0

 

Not surprising really. 1-0 from a long ball upfield and Vardy out sprinting a slow CB. How many times have we seen this?

 

Posted something similar on Arsenal board earlier. They have solid defenders who aren't clever. They get the ball away at first opportunity. They know their limitations and don't try and pass the ball out if under any kind of pressure. They are OK to watch as they have pace up front and trickery in Mahrez, but they don't play 'nice football' to watch. They're effective, they've been lucky with injuries and the fact all the big teams have had off years as well but they've taken full advantage of it.

Wed have walked the league 2 years ago if city/Chelsea had seasons like they are having now, unfortunately city went on a winning streak at the end of the season though and gave proper competition.
