GWT: 2021-22 PL Matchweek 1

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Every time I watch Jonjo Shelvey play I wonder why the English national team doesn't use him at all. He's one of the most creative midfielders England has.

He's a long pass merchant, nothing else.

hometown lad scores his first for Newcastle and has a massive smile.......missed this shit

 

[King Makar19]

Rice been absolute shit.

 

[Savant]

Have not been impressed by any of the English players that rushed back after the Euros and played. Rice has been bad today and he hasn’t been the only one.

 

[Fro]

Kane wasn't on team bus

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Kane wasn't on team bus

Can't say I'm surprised.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

another cracker of a goal

 

[PanniniClaus]

Newcastle getting put to the sword... some awesome stuff from Ham.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

defense optional

 

[King Makar19]

Had to shit on Rice for him to wake up.


Antonio is lovely. Such a brute and 110 mil. Less that Lukaku

 

[BMann]

That was a classic Bielsa defensive performance, just absolutely ripped apart. They should be okay though because we've seen them get this destroyed in the past and bounce back.

I think we gotta conclude that Bruno is world class at this point. He continues to the point where he keeps on scoring absolutely beautiful goals that it just isn't a fluke anymore. Wanted him here badly, but they have an identity so not surprised...

Aston and Soton are real possibilities for relegation, Villa looked absolutely lost without Grealish and losing to a team as pathetic as they are could be a very worrisome sign. Soton just doesn't have enough talent and I think some of their problems come from a lack of identity just as Arsenal is. They have some talent around, but does it mesh well with each other? I suggest it doesn't.

Pathetic is what you are calling us ? It's people like you and the other plastics who revel in nonsense like the ESL. We worked hard, had a plan and took our chances. Villa still have players to come in and probably will sign someone else but it's not our fault they looked lost without Grealish. We clamped down on Buendia maintained a high press. It worked.

I'm sorry we cannot spend hundreds of millions or be backed by an oil state to satisfy your idea of football aesthetics.

 

[Fro]

Can't say I'm surprised.

I've seen many had him starting on the bench...Ndombele is the one I don't get...how are you not in shape...we need his creativity

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Sanchez and Dier

Poor Hugo

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Tweedledee and Tweedledum

Poor Hugo

Fixed that for you.

 

[Savant]

Sanchez and Dier

Poor Hugo

I feel like 3 of the worst CBs in the PL are starting in this game. At least Ake and Dier are homegrown

Also, who about what, Gooner calling other teams pathetic.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Fixed that for you.

I will allow that.

Robbie Earle, "They're going to have to protect that backline"

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Have not been impressed by any of the English players that rushed back after the Euros and played. Rice has been bad today and he hasn’t been the only one.

Most of the squad was very, very poor in the first half, but they elevated in the second half, Rice included. Benrahma does seem poised for a big year.

Clown shoes defending in the first half, particularly Dawson. No need for cover though, I'm assured!

 

[Havre]

Dier isn't even HG.

New manager and Dier is back in the team. Then is takes 50 $$&$^$ games for that new manager to understand he is that bad.

Feels like a City lineup one could beat, but Spurs is just in such a mess with that lineup. No Kane and no CD.

 

[Jussi]

this is pretty good

And they have a special guest in the audience lol

Already been posted in the PL thread.

Yeah definitely fair.

 

[Savant]

About 350 million on the bench for City today
