GWT: EPL - Matchweek 22

[bluesfan94]

Another day, another matchweek. The matchweek kicks off with a potential battle for European spots, when Newcastle hosts Bournemouth. Then, we get a London derby when the Irons host the Eagles, as well as a tough match for presumptive favorites, Liverpool, who must travel to Brentford. The big match of the week, however, is Arsenal hosting Aston Villa, while the other big six sides have decent chances to pick up at least a point.

Bournemouth comes out flying, already up 1-0 over Newcastle

 

[Brunkmeister]

Going full jinx and say that Isak will score.

 

[Sad People]

Bruno!!!!

 

[Sad People]

Got lucky there

 

[Brunkmeister]

So apparently it’s possible to see that the ball was out at St. James’s.

 

[Sad People]

Isak has barely touched the ball so far it seems

 

[AlanHUK]

Was that another example of premier league officials getting something right by getting it wrong?

Ball was obviously out, but Newcastle clearing the ball should end the attacking phase of play, meaning it shouldn't have been checked by VAR?

 

[Sad People]

NUFC has been on a tear recently so it was a matter of time. Cant win them all.

 

[KlausJopling]

Bournemouth playing without a bench and still playing the way they do and getting results is impressive.

 

[Savant]

Diogo Jota played 30 minutes last week, scored a goal, and got injured again. He is not in the squad today.

Newcastle cannot even blame any of the refereeing decisions. They all went their way.

That is LFC. I can genuinely already name drop the players that will get injuries before the end of season.

If I had money to put: Konaté, Gomez, Tsimikas, Chiesa, Jota and maybe even Alisson have a good chance to miss some games due to injury before the end of the season.

 

[maclean]

brentford my lord, how do you not score there

 

[maclean]

brentford gonna regret not taking advantage of their early chances..

when did they start calling tight offsides while the game was still going? weird

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Gakpo miss is huge. That goes in and it forces Brentford to stop sitting so deep and open up the game.

 

[AlanHUK]

I reckon it's because a ton of them will have done FA cup games, and needed to for that, now they need to get used to not doing it again

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Blistering back to front goal for Palace

How much did West “won the transfer window” Ham spend on Max Kilman?

 

[Epictetus]

Slot needs to start rotating the squad more, these guys look fatigued

Love Salah but he can't even beat a defender one on one right now

 

[maclean]

there it is

 

[Juve]

My beautiful boy Chiesa

 

[Epictetus]

OMG NUNEZZZZ

 

[koyvoo]

I won’t criticize Darwin for the next few days

 

[Epictetus]

OMG NUNEZZZZ x2
