Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [11th - 14th Sep 2020]

Opening Weekend Guys.

Lets have it.

First and last time I'm doing this for the record, but I had to celebrate Leeds' first fixture somehow.

I fully expect us to be 3-0 down after 30 mins, get a harsh lesson in PL football and us to enter the transfer market to bolster the squad.

HOPEFULLY, we can produce good performance and keep it respectable, no way are we going to get any points from the game.

If Watford can keep their players and get them fit, I think they’ll walk the Championship

They were pretty crap tonight. If you look at all their injured players I’d say the majority will have left. Deeney, Capoue, Sarr, Welbeck, Hughes, Pereyra, Deulofeu etc etc.

They’ll be up there for sure. Pedro did look really good indeed.

 

[Andybtsn]

Leeds will be solid defensively this season imo but i think goals will be their problem

Hoping Rodrigo changes that. Potentially no Cooper tonight which will be bad. We really need reinforcements.

 

[Andybtsn]

Willian turning out to be an alright signing. Who’d have thought

 

[Andybtsn]

I never thought I’d watch Leeds in UHD. Come on lads

 

[Andybtsn]

Koch-blocked

 

[Andybtsn]

How come Leeds aren't playing their new striker?

That’s why!

Nah, Bielsa just too loyal. Paid off I guess

 

[Andybtsn]

Goodness sake

 

[Andybtsn]

We do have a kid who is a center kid at CB and also a completely new player to the Prem alongside him so not ideal.

 

[Andybtsn]

Nothing was keeping that goal out by Sallah.

More the terribad marking

 

[Andybtsn]

JFH is such a terrible pundit.

 

[Andybtsn]

Koch is absolutely dreadful.

He has been good? Grown into the game massively and the two ‘mistakes’ could have happened to anyone.

 

[Andybtsn]

He's been the opposite of good, every corner he's all over the place, two huge mistakes and in general looked completely out of his depth.

First game granted but as far as debuts go it's one of the worst I've seen for a long time.

Think you are watching a different game, literally how could he have done anything in all three situations?

 

[Andybtsn]

Ffs

 

[Andybtsn]

1. Dont have your hand out level with your waist No excuse
2. Dont lose your man
3. Dont lose your man

You must be on the wind up.

He was blocked both times? The handball took a deflection.

 

[Andybtsn]

Well way better than I expected... It’s good to be back!

 

[Andybtsn]

Well deserved lead for Newcastle.... their new signings are all looking good, forgot they picked Hendrick up on a free!!

West Ham have looked very rusty.

They aren’t rusty, this is West Ham

 

[Andybtsn]

Dave Moyes is going to turn into one big wrinkle soon

 

[Andybtsn]

The score line flatters them is what im saying. I thought they played ok but they werent as good as people are making out.

There are a number of reasons why our performance was better than ‘ok’. People probably can appreciate the makeshift defensive pairing, inexperienced keeper, vs your strongest lineup, our first game in the PL, away to the Champions, scoring 3, more possession etc.

I’m sure there are as many reasons why Liverpool were poor but credit where credit is due. We were really good and proud of what I saw.

 

[Andybtsn]

It would have been disallowed anyway but why would Perez even touch that on the line.
