EPL 2020/2021

[Sir Chadley]

Another example this morning of how VAR is ruining the game. Deadset penalty given to WBA and then taken away by VAR.

Then two minutes later our player Gallagher is blatantly fouled six seconds before a penalty is given against us and VAR says nah all good penalty stands.

We were never allowed to win that game or even get a point from it.

I defy any Man U fan on here (I’m looking at you Crazy Matt!) to say they deserved to win that game.

No, Utd did not deserve to win, but by that measure neither did WBA. In fact, if the ref had blown at half-time and just said " Game over. I'm going home as I'm bored ****less." I wouldn't have blamed him. Thank god there weren't fans in the stadium to witness such a dire game.
And yes, VAR is an absolute joke. Might as well spin a roulette wheel for decisions for all the sense it's making.

United didn’t deserve to win even without the contentious penalty call. Ole playing defensive against relegation fodder like WBA is absolute cowardly and it shows he’s in full survival mode. He feels forced to play two CDM’s because he doesn’t trust Maguire and Lindelof as a CB pairing due to their complete lack of pace. Those tactics also restricted Telles as well, it would absolute criminal if Ole doesn’t take advantage of Telles’s ability going forward, but no, he’s pretty much shackled to his own half.

If Ole has his heart set on playing that 4-2-3-1 then he should use Pogba next to Fred as a CDM but with a licence to push up and take advantage of his long passing game, just like he does for France. Also I’d drop either Lindelof or Maguire and use Tuanzebe to fix the pace issue so they won’t need as much protection from CDM’s. I’d also start Van De Beek ahead of Mata, I know that position isn’t the best for VDB, but it’s how he gets into the team and we need VDB in the team.

If it were me though I’d ditch the 4-2-3-1 altogether and use a midfield diamond.

We absolutely battered Leicester, could easily have been 6 or 7. What a squad Klopp has assembled, Matip and Fabinho at CB if we can keep them fit are as good of a partnership as any in the Prem.

Getting worse & worse to be a Gunners supporter at the moment unfortunately.

 

[sharkboy18]

I thought Man United were bad atm, we are 5-10x as bad right now haha.

 

[snowman]

Yeh its not pretty viewing for Arsenal fans

No idea how you get better either

Leeds should’ve pumped Arsenal, Bamford could’ve had a hat trick. Concerning times for Arsenal, it’s looking pretty bleak.

That's their problem, obviously they can't shoot haha. Missed a few sitters but Leno also made a few decent saves. Considering we were down to 10 men for over 30 minutes I'm more then happy with that clean sheet & a point.

 

[CrazyMatt]

Shocked at how much Sheffield United have dropped off....

 

[Sir Chadley]

First win to WBA. Only against Sheffield though who are rock bottom. Long way to go yet but now out of the bottom 3.

 

[CrazyMatt]

Cavani’s still got it.

 

[snowman]

his first goal was such a good poachers instinct

United haven’t had a forward with a poacher’s instinct for a while. Definitely handy to have.

Could cop a 3 game suspension

The tweet? (Or was it Insta, can’t remember) Dismissed as a ‘cultural misunderstanding’ apparently, he apologised and it was deleted. I’d hate to sit on the fence but I think he’ll get off, although it wouldn’t surprise me if they threw the book at him to make a statement.

Funny - Suarez used the same word
