Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [24th - 27th Sept 2021]

[Purdy]

Maybe Chelsea will do something now, been a pretty dreadful game

 

[DrToffnar]

Watkins needs to wake up here. He's too over eager

 

[Calpol]

Utd looking a bit disjointed

They are looking like a turgid pile of dog mess

 

[Robbo]

Second half even worse so far, dire stuff.

 

[Reuben klang]

Utd not having a midfield and being over ran by Villa at the moment.

Probably playing into the only plan for Utd with the counter.

 

[fez]

They seem to be battering them according to the radio.

Chelsea have been defending with 9 of their 11 players and offering little in counter attacking threat because neither of their attackers can control a ball.

Always a risk when you are under the kosh for 95% of the game. Now Chelsea have got to come out and attack with a team set up entirely to defend.

 

[Kelt]

Chelsea got what they deserved.

Maybe they'll exit turtle mode and try and play for the draw again.

 

[fez]

We should play the Lingard lottery. He will probably contribute a goal at one end.

 

[Reuben klang]

I don’t get what refs see when that type of thing happens.

McGinn was pulled by Maguire there.

Then he gets pulled down in the box.

Nothing given either.

 

[DrToffnar]

Typical Maguire there. So cynical.

 

[Robbo]

Stonewall penalty on Maguire that, where's VAR...

 

[fez]

Stonewall penalty on Maguire that, where's VAR...

Not convinced that was stonewall. Last season it would probably have been given though.

 

[fez]

Look for a pass sometimes Greenwood!

 

[The Running Man]

Get pantcho on

 

[Reuben klang]

Look for a pass sometimes Greenwood!

No one to pass to Ronaldo was offside.

—

Okay I stand corrected.

 

[McBain]

Abysmal from Chelsea this

 

[Robbo]

Much better (from both sides) in the last few minutes.

 

[fez]

No one to pass to Ronaldo was offside.

He had about 3 opportunities to pass to Ronaldo during that run when he wasn't offside. Thats part of being a good player is knowing when to look for a pass. You don't run into a dead end and then look for the pass. De Bruyne is world class at this. Driving at defences with an eye always on a pass. His run is made with that in mind. Greenwood always runs with the sole thought of getting a shot off.

 

[fez]

City should be 2 up. Very close.

 

[fez]

Have we paid Villa off for todays match

That was almost a guaranteed goal if he didn't slip and injure himself there.

Its actually funny how **** we are considering the quality of our squad. I actually feel nuts sometimes when people say that Ole isn't the issue with us and that we haven't got a **** manager. Like, are we watching different games. We've been outplayed yet again by a team that probably haven't spent even 1/4 of what we have and lost their best player over the summer.
