Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [27th - 2nd July 2020]

Leicester was the FA Cup and I only watched a few minutes of the game but for all City's possession, they created barely anything and Chelsea were picking them off on the break fairly easily. The expected goals for the Chelsea v City game was 4.21 - 0.69 which I'd guess is one of the widest margins for a top 4/6 game. They were far from lucky.

Is that statistic before or after the sending off? Sterling should have put it to bed but he hit the post as always. God knows where he learnt to finish.

That's across the 90 minutes. Other than the goal from the penalty, I don't think Chelsea had many if any chances after the red card so it wouldn't be massively different.

The Sterling chance was pretty much the only chance City had though, Chelsea had very good chances before they went a goal up and at 1-1. City will always have periods of possession and pressure but overall, Chelsea done a job on them.

City were battering them to be fair. Then a drinks break came and they had a decent spell. Same against Leicester before they made three subs at half time. Villa was a squeeze too.

How is that lucky? In other words, they've taken account of the situation, changed tactics accordingly, and come out on top.

Leicester are going to throw a top 4 spot away. 2-0 down to Everton already.

I would even be in a position to put a cheeky bet on them not getting top 4. If they lose this they still need to go away to Spurs and Arsenal and last game against the mighty United

If Newcastle are not bought I can see ASM getting sold this summer

 

[robfosters]

It’s happened again for Arsenal lmao

that’s pacey forward’s for you

 

[jonneymendoza]

Easiest goal Aubameyang has scored

 

[explicit4u]

Norwich and Bournemouth showing zero signs of putting up a fight.

Pleased to see Xhaka get a goal, a changed man since the fan dispute.

Sadly Villa also showing zero

Thankfully West Ham look terrible too. Your game vs them on the last day could decide who stays up.

Nah, bottom three are as good as down. West Ham have a couple of tough games but they'll pick up enough points from their other games.

 

[montymint]

oof what a peach of a goal from Miggy

 

[explicit4u]

Of the 3 Villa look the most likely to stay up.

Newcastle put a 3rd past Bournemouth.

I don’t think you can confidently call anything in the current circumstances.

Pickford is maybe the most overrated goalkeeper there's ever been. Dire.

 

[BaZ87]

If I was an Evertonian, it wouldn't be all the mistakes Pickford makes that *****es me off but the way he laughs about them all the time.
