Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [20th - 23rd Nov 2020]

Excellent performance from start to finish. A lot of talk pre game was about our defence but I was comfortable with Fabinho and Milner filling in, it was our midfield that I was slightly concerned about. Wijnaldum can play the holding role but it's not his best position and both Keita and Jones want to be the most advanced midfielder but we controlled the game from the first whistle. Wijnaldum and Jones were quietly excellent and before his inevitable injury Keita was up there with anybody on the pitch. Really pleased for Bobby to get his goal and Jota again looking a bargain but Mr consistency gets my MOTM - Leicester tried to target our right hand side but Milner dealt with dealt with everything they threw at him and was really good going forward too.

I was thinking Jones for MOTM. People forgot he's still a teenager but the lads got so much confidence on the ball.

I have to admit, I felt that he overplayed too much. I rate him and it's good to see he has confidence, but he needs to learn when to keep the ball and when not to
 
It's hardly a fair comparison Shami. Arteta's been at Arsenal half the amount of time, started with an inferior squad and signed £70m odds worth of players compared to £250m+ that Solskjaer has. He's already started to be questioned though and if by the end of this season Arsenal are still not showing signs of improvement then there will be more pressure on him.
 
Why do so many papers and pundits have Chelsea as potential title winners? Apart from Liverpool, they've played 5 of the bottom 6 and had the easiest start of any team on paper.

Arteta has silverware and hasnt spent anywhere near as much as Ole.

Premier League position is far more important than cup wins. Arteta was 2 points behind United when he took over and ended up ten behind. Short term memories.

Fred, Martial, Rashford just to name a few have all excelled under Solksjaer and have improved massively.

Di Matteo won a champions League and Fa Cup.
 
The link's fine and Klopp's 100% right. Before the International break Utd played Everton Saturday 12.30pm, having played a CL game on the Wednesday. The same weekend we played City on the Sunday having played our CL games on the Tuesday. Common sense tells you that if Utd are playing on the Wednesday then they shouldn't be having to play the early kick off on a Saturday - those fixtures could and should have been scheduled with Utd playing on Sunday and Liverpool/City on Saturday.

This coming week is slightly trickier with Liverpool playing Wednesday and then Tuesday the following week, meaning our League game has to be Saturday but just don't make the kick-off time 12.30pm. There's absolutely no reason why that game couldn't have been played at 5.30pm or the 8pm kick-off slot.
