Greenlizard0 Premier League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [2nd - 4th November 2024]

[Robbo]

This is probably our strongest 11, Shaw can't really be counted as he's always injured. Likely a 4231, Ugarte and Casemiro should provide a solid base in midfield...

 

[Shamikebab]

We're so thin on players, 5 kids on the bench

 

[The_One]

de ligt is gonna get licked by the palmer show

 

[Converge]

‘… and Peter Drury.’

I audibly groaned.

 

[Converge]

Some nasty scratches on Hojlunds neck.

 

[adam cool dude]

Garnacho should be putting that to bed.

Rashford caught to after he crossed it. Not sure if VAR checked either.

Michael Oliver most likely on VAR again.

 

[Thekwango]

Only just turned the game on, how UTD been playing so far?

 

[Calpol]

I'm not impressed. The lad needs to step up his contribution and not by rolling about after a nudge. Well short of the level required so far.
Mediocre start from both teams.

Utd started spritely, chelsea got back into the game now its 50/50

 

[Shamikebab]

These refs are blowing nothing, Hojlund is clearly kicked there right in front of the linesman

 

[Robbo]

Largely an even game, lacking quality so far on both sides.

If he had stayed standing rather than rolled around he would have been an option for the cut back.

Have they been told to dive or something? They're falling over every few seconds. United that is.

His positional sense is poor. Great strikers attack space in the box. Hojlund is often where the ball isn't and he gets too involved in physical duels which he just doesn't have the strength to win. I'd far rather see him develop better movement and use his pace.

Who dived? They've been kicking the crap out of us. Think Caicedo is on his last warning after that one on Bruno.

Bruno fell over a bit later.

There was another incident earlier also with Hojland

The Hojlund one before was just a good tackle, not a dive at all. Maybe you should apply to be a ref.

Maybe you should apply to be a ref.

Huh?
