Premier League Thread 2015-16

Oddly, Liverpool have backed off and Villa, who have been very slow in possession before, when being pressured, are a little more comfortable. Starting to get the odd chance now. Bakuna is playing very poorly though, so far. 3 times he has let his teammates down when in a good position.

 

I have to confess to being a closet Arsenal fan and would be very pleased for Theo, Alex and whoever the other bloke was we sold them, to get a winners medal.

As for Spurs they are just a little club who think they are much better than they can ever hope to be.

 

4-0 now.

 

5-0 and Clyne gets a goal. Huh, he loves Villa Park.

 

Kolo Toure has scored.

 

6-0, and it literally just hit Toure on the head, and no Villa player even moved. Those poor Villa fans. Disgraceful.

 

Well I was. But oh dear...Could do without the boost to Liverpool's GD lads.

 

Indeed. I lost interest at 0-2, fearing the worst for Liverpool's improving GD, so exactly what you've pointed out. I can only assume Villa have been shocking as Liverpool aren't that good, even with Sturridge.

Wonder if the post-match appraisal will be about Villa being poor or Liverpool being good?

 

They only go to +2, ours is +10

 

Probably be about Sturridge. Expect he and Welbeck to be making headlines tomorrow. Who needs strikers who play every week?

 

It's Villa being poor - no doubt.

 

It's not over yet

 

True, true.

 

Kolo Toure now has more PL goals this season than Eden Hazard.

 

But Liverpool are still media darlings, so I won't be surprised if it isn't about Villa having a much bigger off-day than usual, but more about Liverpool exploiting their weaknesses.

 

The BBC will bang on about how good Liverpool are, and I imagine their fans will dominate the phone ins. Carragher summed it up right: Villa embarassing.

 

Yes he did. They were far worse than when we played them at St Marys last season, when they had Benteke.

 

Quote from Man U forum:

"Yeah I'm not really sure what Schneiderlin, gives us really. Doesn't tackle, can't run, not a great passer, rarely gets in the box. He's hardly mentioned in commentary. No wonder Van Gaal opts for Fellaini. At least he tries not to be ****."

Discuss.

 

That fan is a bloody idiot. End of discussion.

 

On the face of it, the ManU supporter has a point. Morgan doesn't do for ManU what he did for Saints. But if the team around him aren't doing their bit he can't do his.
