GWT: EPL - Matchweek 24

[S E P H]

Most #9s are useless off the ball.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Most #9s are useless off the ball.

Most top #9s are not.

Was coming, and is deserved.

 

[Islesfan22]

That’s why you can’t take Halaand out best goal scorer in the world

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

'Best centre back in the world' did not look good on that one

 

[Blender]

Deserved goal for City.

Most #9s are useless off the ball.

This is statistically false. He's near the bottom across the top 5 leagues for defensive and buildup stats among #9s.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Arsenal are so going to end up losing this game...

 

[Evilo]

Foden is sooooo bad too.

 

[Blender]

I didn't see that one coming, wow.

 

[S E P H]

Saliba got effing wrecked there by useless #9.

 

[Satan]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Most top #9s are not.

Was coming, and is deserved.

Best 9s of the last 15 years

Kane - all around creator, not just goal scorer
Suarez - all around creator, not just goal scorer
Cavani - probably the best presser I've ever seen
Benzema - all around creator, not just goal scorer
Ibrahimovic - all around creator, not just goal scorer

The only top top #9 of the last decade who I would say was close to a non-entity in build-up is Lewandowski. In general, it's ability in build-up that marks the difference between the great strikers and the top, top strikers.

 

[Evilo]

Haha the Haaland celebration!

 

[Satan]

LETS f***ING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

And Lewa is wayyyy better than Haaland in that regard.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Vaguely recall a similarly youthful Bellerin hitting a very similar goal to that against Liverpool

 

[maclean]

What a f***in legend

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Haha the Haaland celebration!

All is fair in war

TBH, I think Gabriel has outplayed Saliba this season. His development has been pretty insane compared to where he was five years ago. Both are top 5-10 in the world though.

 

[Islesfan22]

City falling apart Foden has been awful.

 

[maclean]

Did that come off stones again?

 

[S E P H]

Just play MLS as a #9! He's a ridiculous talent.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Never ceases to blow me away how f***ing petulant this Arsenal squad is

 

[S E P H]

Absolutely f***ing shambolic reffing so far in this game and that frustration is 100% justified.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Never ceases to blow me away how f***ing petulant this Arsenal squad is

Odegaard was right to be pissed though.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

3 balls touched in 43 minutes

Every game
