GWT: EPL - Matchweek 2

[bluesfan94]

A potentially season-defining matchweek. United goes to Brighton, who won handily in their first matchweek, in a game that could show the type of season United will have. Tottenham looks to actually win a match when they host Everton. Crystal Palace and West Ham face off to determine the second best team in London. And Arsenal will look to beat last season's boogeyman when they travel to Birmingham.

Way too early to make claims like that. Or have you forgotten the start United had two season's ago?

 

[S E P H]

It's another tasty weekend, and 99% of the games are on peacock. I do want some revenge on Villians for what happened last season.

 

[Brunkmeister]

We absolutely outplayed Villa in last seasons games but couldn’t take advantage. Let’s not make that mistake again. Emery and Martinez can go and f themself.

I feel like there's been more games on USA last season and so far this than Peacock. I know Friday and Monday aren't always going to have games but those were on USA along with 1 on Saturday and 1 Sunday. So I'm paying extra for Peacock and missing out on 40% of the games.

If they lose 4-1 to brighton or something, I think it would be a big marker in their season outlook

It's because USA has a big women's golf tournament going on

I think a bad loos can definitely set a big negative tone.

But I don't think a big win will do much.

Like watching flies f***

 

[maclean]

Is there any particular reason there's no Friday and Monday games? I know they do that later in the season when there's more match congestion, but that shouldn't be an issue now, should it?

I had a feeling that something like the 1-1 draw at Leicester was going to happen. I also have a feeling Everton will pay for it this weekend. Spurs drew opening week last year as well and ended up having a great start to the season.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Nice to know the outcome of the season by game 2. Hopefully we don’t blow it.

On the other hand...

Brighton have a good record against United. One downside is Gross is no longer here for his guaranteed goal against them.

I think he ended with 7 goals and 4 or 5 assists in his games against United.

Why can't we have nice things

Because we bought Solanke for 60 mil?

 

[Jussi]

Same starting XI for United as last week.

 

[luiginb]

13 degrees and rain in Brighton, fkin crazy. I'm melting here at 33, not that far from where they're playing, as the crow flies

 

[Jussi]

What a cross from Dalot. If Amad was a right footer, that might have been in.

I’ve been watching the Vuelta, I don’t know how they race in that kind of heat.

 

[Jussi]

United have really improved on playing out from the back.

 

[Jussi]

Great tackle from Mainoo.

 

[Evilo]

Should be yellow for handball there.

 

[Jussi]

That was clear as day intentional handball.

Roof leaking at Brighton.

 

[luiginb]

I almost forgot how bad English refs were, easiest handball in history, of course he misses it

Yup. But I won't scream for VAR, I don't think that is something they should look at, unless it's potential second yellow for a player.
