Greenlizard0 Premier League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [7th - 8th October 2023]

[C Kent]

2 absolute shockers from both teams with pretty much open goals

 

[Ayahuasca]

Should be 3-3 if we're doing that, Gravey's had a pretty bad miss too

If his went in that would’ve changed the game making it 3-1 so it’s a bit different.

Don’t expect a striker to miss those.

 

[manic111]

He's a fantastic player but he needs to be played higher up the pitch. Doesn't have the pace or strength to play as a 6 and he's being ****ed over by Klopp.

Sure, but where would you play him? He's clearly not taking one of the forwards spots, and the way we play mean the three midfielders have to be able to get up and down - that's a prerequisite. We don't have space in the team for a genuine 10.

I agree that he's a fantastic player, but I'm but sure where he fits into our formation.

Edit: just to be clear, I'm not writing him off, but of the two of them I'd be playing Gravenberch more and giving Alexis time to get up to speed

 

[Reuben klang]

Draws galore today.

 

[manic111]

Baleba looks a player as well. How on earth do Brighton do it?!

 

[C Kent]

The only explanation is the ref has decided a Brighton defender on the goal line means it's not a clear goalscoring opportunity but that would have been beyond generous on Brighton.

Raya is clearly No1 and Arteta just can't say it lol

 

[C Kent]

These subs have made us worse

 

[manic111]

Where the **** is Nunez? I thought the point of him was to score goals . Mo has just rolled the ball along the 6 yard box and he's done nothing

 

[CliffyG]

Put a quid on 4 draws earlier.

 

[BaZ87]

I missed the first 30 mins so but I understand it wasn't a great performance. 15 mins either side of HT I thought we played well and it started to feel like we'd taken the sting out of the game but Brighton's changes midway through the 2nd half caused us so many problems. They were constantly getting overloads in wide positions and it was just a matter of time before one of those set-plays resulted in a goal.

Yea, I saw it earlier. It's a nonsense. He was 12 yards from goal with the ball right next to him. We've seen players sent off when the attacker is running onto 20+ yard passes and not in control of the ball.

What does it return?

 

[Tombstone]

If City-Arsenal ends as a draw then its been a good weekend for Spurs as it would mean that 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th have all drawn

 

[CliffyG]

What does it return?

47 if I cashout now. 180 if Arsenal draw. Tempted to cash out.

Good result for United too as despite our abysmal start we are only 5 points off top 4.

 

[Bigpig]

Poor today and almost got 3 points. Hopefully we have a few more players available after the international break.

47 is a decent return off a quid, would be wise to cashout

Yeah I can't see this finishing a draw now I've seen the teams.

Still holding onto your title hopes?

I would. I've just put money on 4-1 City. Not saying I think it's especially likely but if they get a fast start I think today could be very one sided
