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

Leicester won the title with 12 draws and 3 losses. Though I have a feeling that it wouldn't be enough this time around.

 

After being behind, both Arsenal and Man City come back to win. Good night for English clubs.

 

Moyes was right, Utd need to aspire to play like City, they might be doing that by now if they'd have given him time.

 

Or just appointed the right man (Klopp) in the first place...

 

Any of you who haven't seen it yet need to go and watch Ozils winner.

 

Fergie didn't want to be out-fergie'd so recommended the ginger donut to the detriment of his club, still they've got Jose van Moyes to sort things out now.

 

Anyone seen Ozil's goal?

Yeah, absolutely superb.

 

Over exaggerated it a bit.

 

Haha, thought exactly the same. I was expecting a goal of the season contender, not just a decent goal.

 

Starts with a nice touch to set himself up one on one, chips the keeper, next touch brings him inside to beat the first defender, dummy shot leaves both defenders on the floor, calmly steps round them and slots home... Messi would of been proud of that one. Go find it in slow motion and it's even more epic

 

I've seen it, it was a decent goal, nothing more.

The reality is it was some amateurish defending that helped him score it.

 

Yep, 2-2 and he does a lovely chip over the keeper and has an open net glaring, he decides to bring it inside (or over runs it and has to) and take on 2 defenders dummies them both and scores. Great goal at 3-0 but at 2-2 you put the ball in the empty net not **** around.

 

I think he might've taken it inside because he isn't confident on his right foot.

It always looks impressive when an attacking player sends defenders the wrong way, you can't deny that, but it probably wasn't necessary. He showed good composure and control at a crucial moment of the game but it was against a second rate European side in a game that honestly wasn't that important.

 

Surely if you reckon it was a "great goal" that's it end of no matter what the score(based on your viewing it as a neutral)?

 

Maybe, but he had time to control it and put it in with the outside of his left foot, the whole goal was available from 8 yards out.

Like I said, great goal at 3-0, risky and extravagant at 2-2.

 

Let me put it another way, it was a great goal but he took a risk by cutting inside. It would have still been great if he had just put it in the empty net.

 

The touch that beats the two kamikaze defenders is a mishit

Only decent part was chipping the keeper

 

Yep and he only chips the keeper because he hasn't got the pace and control to simply go around him

 

Lol it was a really obvious dummy shot to drop the defenders not a miss-hit
