Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [14th - 16th October 2022]

Dan Burn should be off at this point. Far too many little fouls since his first yellow. Hes doing them because the ref is letting them get away with it.

Casemiro is in the same boat tbh.

 

[fez]

Concur, he’s actually made the team worse in this last year or so. They need to use him from the bench not start him.

We have been but Rashford is coming off the back of illness, Martial is injured again and Greenwood ain't playing for United again.

Unfortunately we don't really have many options up there at the moment but Ronaldo.

 

[JamesH85]

Have to say, I think Antony has looked good for Utd today.

 

[Purdy]

Antony inability/reluctance to use his right foot for crosses is brutal, can't get it past people as its closer for them to block

 

[nemtizz]

Schar loves a head injury.

 

[adam cool dude]

Newcastle with all these petty tackles, timewasting and getting away with it. Ref has been really poor today.

 

[Shamikebab]

Did the ref just give a freekick for one Newcastle player taking out another?

 

[C Kent]

Milner to be at right back, we're gonna get destroyed

lol, couldnt make it up could you

 

[fez]

I thought players had accepted that the "Ronaldo" technique was largely useless because it has so little consistency. No one who is considered good at set pieces does it.

 

[fez]

You can see why Newcastle have been hard to beat. Work very hard defensively.

 

[adam cool dude]

Newcastle are just playing not to lose. Very painful to watch.

If this is how Eddie Howe sets up. Newcastle are not getting Europe this season as they will end up drawing too many.

 

[fez]

Oh Fred. Oh Fred. Oh Fred.

 

[JamesH85]

Our squad depth is terrible.

 

[McBain]

Fred is gash

 

[fez]

Oh come on ref. Hes managed to waste a full minute for that goal kick.

 

[C Kent]

they're the worst team in the league for it, hopefully you get a 98th minute winner like us

 

[JamesH85]

Utd late winner incoming Lascelles.is.on now.

 

[fez]

We need to send most of our players to decision making classes.

"Bruno, you have an easy pass to your winger in space near the opposition box, do you pass to him or hold on to try and thread a ball through 3 players legs, off the post and back to your striker to take a shot from an acute angle?"

There’s a lot of bad teams in the league that they’ll beat.

Will likely draw with teams in and around them by playing like this and look to get what they can for Arsenal, Chelsea, City and Liverpool - any points is a bonus.

Next season they’ll be looking at going ahead of the Spurs, Utd etc and pushing towards top 4.

Always struggle against this defensive block so annoying.
