2024-25 EPL Season

[Savant]

Fire Arteta, sell Saka.

Will revisit this in May

Wow, so KDB got thrown to bin by City eh?
KDB at two years under thirty-five (injuries notwithstanding) should have... eh... maybe two, tree top flight years left in him. I mean Modric is hanging it up at 40, or it he just leaving top flight....
I don't think KDB's body can hold up TBH.... imo

It's a bad faith argument made by someone whose team is winning the title but who is still, for whatever reason, insecure about it.

They are obvious bait posts for Gooner fans, but they always work.

Yeah exactly. It's sad how many Liverpool fans, both here and elsewhere, are more focused on trying to bait Arsenal fans than enjoying their own title win. As though Arsenal fans haven't been focused on the Champions League for weeks. Once we lost to West Ham, it was pretty much accepted we weren't winning the league and it's pretty clear the team isn't really trying in the league despite Arteta's statements. I mean, shit, we started Sterling.

I am surprised more people haven’t realized it’s a bit. But it’s easy and it’s effortless

I will (hopefully) enjoy it plenty on Sunday. Don’t need advice on how to enjoy it from people who haven’t won it in over 20 years. Not going to speak for anyone else, but in 2004 I wouldn’t not have (legally) been old enough to go the to pub to celebrate.

If you win UCL this season and you need celebration tips, I would be happy to give advice.

I mean it just shows how fugazy Arteta is. It’s very clear to see.

But officer, I had to reply to the trolling, he besmirched my club's honor.

Which why it’s a good thing it’s so effortless

Oh ffs, Dalot possibly out for the season with a calf injury...

Damn united was just about to make their move up the table

It impacts more EL than PL. But squad options are limited.

Winning the EL hinges on Dalot?

 

[Jussi]

Winning the EL hinges on Dalot?

Like I said, lack of options on the squad.

 

[hatterson]

Winning the EL hinges on Dalot?

Doesn't hinge on him, but losing him certainly doesn't help.

With as often as he seems to get bitched about I thought this would have been an advantage for United.

Winning the EL hinges on Dalot?

Obviously it doesn't hinge on Dalot, but losing a starter isn't fun.

 

[Jussi]

He literally scored against Lyon and has the speed to deal defensively with opponents speedy players.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Meh Bilbao was winning anyway. At least dalot can enjoy his time off now

 

[hatterson]

With as often as he seems to get bitched about I thought this would have been an advantage for United.

The issue is that there aren't a lot of options at his position right now. Either moving Mazroui up a little in the formation and having the chuckle brothers united in the back line with Yoro or moving a midfielder to play deeper which seems like it'll unbalance things a lot.

They could also have Dorgu play there like he did against Wolves, but he hasn't remotely impressed me at least.

Think they’ve had some recent injuries as well

Good thing Amad and de Ligt are returning to team training soon, Romano saying Amad is doing that next week. Evans has also been training with the squad for a while and I can see him getting minutes this weekend.



By the way, not enough people (as in none) noted that as soon as Mazraoui had to leave the game at half time vs Lyon, United's defense became shaky. Shaw was only penciled in to play about 20-30 minutes but had to play much more than intended and he was really rusty.
