Match Day Thread 2016/17 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

@Diego. You are more on Liverpool board than Chelsea board. Are you a secret admirer?.

 

Stoke-Swansea started pretty fast. 1 goal each so far, this is quite a big game for Swansea, if they lose they'll already be 5 pts off safety.

 

Every time I've seen Swansea they've looked alright, and yet they're deep in the brown stuff at the minute, odd

They're missing Williams big time though

 

Who took William away from them?.

 

Three times Stoke have hit the woodwork in this first half.


Also when did Stoke change the name of their stadium from Britannia to Bet365 stadium?

 

I thought Everton signed him.

 

I think I put them down for one of the relegated 3 come the end of the season. I look at Swansea and see a good hard working team but with nothing really special about them, they lack that quality needed in the Prem, those players that will change a game. Unfortunately for them they've sold too many of the best players and not replaced them, they seem more like a good Championship team rather than a Prem.
Can't see them getting beaten too heavily in most games, but at the same time they wont win close games, which is probably why they're down where they are.

 

Us mate, and he's made an incredible difference to an extremely porous defence.

He's a cracking CB, reads the game brilliantly and is still a cracking athlete at the age of 32.

 

I wonder mate...

 

Yeah fine lines I suppose mate, they were struggling for goals before losing Ayew.

Mawson looks a good pice of business though.

 

Yup, such a reliable defender and organiser. Even in a 1-1 game like this they've conceded 4 or 5 clear cut chances, I doubt they'd have been doing that when they had Ash at the back.

 

First 10 games:
2015/16 - 10 conceded, 3 clean sheets
2016/17 - 8 conceded, 3 clean sheets

#incredibledifference

Basically the difference is you've got a non-Howard keeper who saved 2 pens

 

Totally agree fella

 

Was it Allen all along?

 

#welshxavi

 

Williams at Everton is his level. Nothing more.

 

So 20% less goals conceded then...

Thanks for proving my point

 

He's better than Lovren and that Klavan lol

So much for Karius being an elite level keeper btw mate

 

Joe ****ing Allen

 

Allen unlucky not to score but ends up getting an assist
