Match Day Thread 2017/18 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

lets hope that's the kind of quality we get for £48 million...

 

Sakho set Zaha up for the goal then doing Cruyff turns and giving the ball away on the 6 yard line.

 

We're still 2 points up on last season #reality

 

Also says we're not as bad as people on here make out too

Deeney gave a scathing assessment of Wenger's comments and the Gunners in general, telling BT Sport: "I've heard Wenger's already saying the penalty is the reason they lost. Well, I'm not going to be one to tell Mr Wenger about himself, but there's a reason they lost and it wasn't because of one penalty.

"It's having a bit of cojones. Whenever I play against Arsenal, I'll go up and think 'let me whack the first one and see who wants it'.

"I came on today and jumped up with Mertesacker - I didn't even have to jump, actually. I nodded it down, the crowd got up - 'yeah we've got somebody who can win it' - and they all just backed off.

"For me as a player, I just think 'happy days'. That's my strength - if you're going to let me do my strength against you, you're going to have a tough afternoon."

he's the most ungainly, gangly, bambi motherfucker you'll ever see touch a football

but he did good to set up zaha

 

Utterly meaningless.

As I have said many times you need to play this season. You need to gather the points consistently and as I said there we are 4 points off the pace just yo be on 4th place.

Your utterly meaningless better than last season bollocks means absolutely nothing

 

Nice to see you got a point today, I miss you when you go traveling

 

An attempted back heel clearance wtf

 

Lol erm you are. We have been awful and we already have a whiff of standard meltdown season after title.

Arsenal have been ****e for a while and are in turmoil. If you are comparing yourself to that then i reckon we might all miss out on top 4

 

Looking at a table in October is meaningless to be fair mate

 

Very true, January after the mad Christmas period is the time to start looking who is performing consistently.

 

so comparing to the actual points we got last season is meaningless but comparing to an arbitrary guess for 4th is fine

We're 2 points off 4th BTW #reality

 

Keep comparing, stay happy

I miss you when you go missing

 

I'm looking at trends and the rate of points collected and am saying we are behind where we should be. unreasonable? I don't think so. It's been right every time.

 

There is an under bed draw going empty tonight

 

Are they not rivals for top four?

We've been poor, no **** just poor. The fact we're not miles behind is great and shows its not just us that isn't firing on all cylinders and therefore, not the disaster some like to believe

 

Not really. Continuous improvement. Don’t know for sure but say we got 72 points last year. You can only look after your own points total so if this year we get 76 points I’d claim that as heading in right direction. It might mean we only get 5th but then do you just have to congratulate the other teams for their vast improvement.

Its weird but in theory people would rather get less points and a higher finish than more points and lower finish because it’s all about the table at end of season but more points mean more wins which means more enjoyment throughout season.

 

Nah.. Continuous improvement has to be actually meaningful.

Once more this time spelled out for you lot.

1. Astro uses his stat as some sort of excuse for off any time a win comes along.

2. I have said... twice.. lfc are 4 points off the pace for 4th. It's really this simple. You need to be taking about 8 points every 4 games. That's 16 points or so. That's to get 70 points. Last year we needed to get 76 which was cos arsenal has the record points for 5th in the prem. Right now we are looking like 62 points total. That's not enough obviously

3. I am saying lfc need to improve quickly to make up that deficit while astros stat suggests all is rosy cos we have more points than the equivalent games last year.

I am quite happy with looking to the points per game and seeing where we are at. I don't give a bollocks what we did the past years in individual games.
