GWT: EPL - Matchweek 3

[S E P H]

Vieria did more in that 40 minutes of action than Havertz did the last three matches. Every 50/50 ball, Kai loses. Then he gets "daddy little princess" treatment from Arteta to justify the costs for him. It is a lose-lose situation because we wasted FFP for him and he's a waste of a player on the pitch as well.

Very fun game to watch but like I wrote on here in game 1, Arsenal has a big time level of naivety in the mental game. They completely relaxed at that red card and allowed Fulham back in when they should've been dead. Man City is able to finish games like this off, while we're still struggling. Good learning lesson though for the club.

Omg that Bowen strike was nuts.

Benramma got shorter since he left Brentford.

Nice assist tho

 

[East Coast Bias]

LOL. Gonna be a full season of this crying.

Positionless was supposed to mean a player that can be effective in mutliple roles/positions, Kai kind of takes the opposite approach.

Exactly as he looked at Chelsea just was slotted in as the 9 instead of as the 10.

 

[Live in the Now]

He forgot how to play somehow. Dunno how.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

It’s a shame really. He looked the goods in Germany. A pleasant on the eyes but now he’s a horror show.

 

[Savant]

LOL. Gonna be a full season of this crying.

Not wrong about the standards worsening though. And especially now that we know refs don’t want to rat out their buddies on VAR too

I've said it here before, but that's why Spurs are my club. When I decided to get into the game, I watched a full season of the PL and this was when they played like this. I'm not a lifelong fan, but I can imagine how the supporters who have lived this 50, 60 years are feeling.

Spurs have traditionally always been like this, at least since the 1980's which I remember. Playing entertaining football and matches being enjoyable, because they don't really care about winning any league titles.

Ardiles, Hoddle, Gazza, Ginola, Lineker, you name it...goals and nice football. I doubt any of their current supporter base has expectations of winning anything major any more,

They were in a CL final 4 years ago and are rich as f***. There should be an expectation to win.

As a life-long fan of Philadelphia sports teams, this comes naturally to me.

But it seems there never is, they always sell their best player (Gazza, Lineker, Bale, Kane etc) and seem happy with being also runs.

Maybe that changes if some ambitious billionaire buys them...

Phillies and Eagles fella!

 

[gary69]

Everton probably headed for relegation at this rate.

Yep, they seem to have very little creativity and lack individual gamebrakers.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Everton's been trending that way for years. They deserve to have it happen considering their resources.

 

[gary69]

David Moyes. Genius? Or most genius?

That starting line-up must be probably the most experienced one in the league. No kids in there.

 

[Jack Straw]

Phillies and Eagles fella!

Phillies, 2 WS championships since 1883.
Eagles, 1 SB championship.
76ers, 2 NBA championships, none since 1983
Do we even need to talk about the Flyers?

I'm a Montrealer/Morocco fan since 2002 so all I've got is a few deep Habs run with no wins (and losing the Expos) and a WC semi. You're a lucky man.

Sports are the only form of entertainment that are designed to cause the greatest amount of pain to greatest number of people possible.

He was very poor today overall I thought, but just the routine stuff. I think he got the big calls right. The DOGSO red was debatable, but not a clear mistake given that Bruno probably was getting to the ball first instead of the other defender.

The end of the second half was dumb though. 11 minutes of stoppage time was crazy even by the new standards of this season. The time wasting yellow to Onana despite a second ball being on the field was stupid and a number of other fouls for both teams that were iffy at best.

My personal favorite was the two Forest players clattering themselves that was somehow a foul on Rashford.
