Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [2nd - 6th April 2021]

I don't know why people expected a close game. Arsenal will be lucky to finish top half this season.

Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea top 4 race is going to be interesting.

Liverpool have just got United, Spurs have Man United & Leicester, Chelsea have Man City & Arsenal. Also Leicester's last three games are United, Chelsea then Spurs!

Must not forget West Ham either. If they win their game in hand they will be joint fourth. Still need to play Chelsea and Leicester however.

Now I look at those fixtures. There is a real possibility that Leicester could bottle it and drop out for the second season in a row!

There is only one team guaranteed CL next season so far.

Why is there a possibility Leicester will drop out, having lost once in 6 and already beaten Chelsea, Spurs and United?!?
 
Our front 3 are always in the wrong position.

When Greenwood should be outside making runs or picking up a long cross, he's marking cavani instead.

Neither rashford or Greenwood seem to have the skill, speed or work ethic to simply get the ball down and run at the fullbacks and take someone on.

Criminal really watching them.
 
What a half.:o Can't wait to see Oles plan for the next 45
Bar the first 10 minutes we have been so lack lustre. Going forward we are so slow Brighton have so much time to get behind the ball then we wonder why there is no space. AWB Fernandez Rashford Fred and Greenwood have been rubbish. Cavani starved of touches.
 
So standard Utd play then. But don’t worry, we’ve progressed so much these last few years under Ole.

Fair play to Brighton though, they play as a team.
 
Oles favourites. He doesn't care that they don't do anything productive for such long periods of the game.

Fergie would never tolerated 2 players with such little ability in their positions for this long.
I don't think their ability is in question. I just don't think they are playing the right positions or with any real pattern of play. Greenwood is a young lad and undoubtedly a talent but I think he's more of a second striker. I don't think 4-2-1-3 works that well unless you are countering all the time. I know its not fashionable now but I prefer 4-3-1-2. Bruno is actually a bit of a problem because he plays with so much freedom that it makes proper midfield control that you need against the low block . Its the system that is neutering these players a lot of the time.
