GWT: EPL - Matchweek 7

[S E P H]

Sterling made a couple things happen but was mostly mid imo. Jesus was invisible for the most of the game. The only times I noticed him where when he made blatent mistakes.

Trossard needs to play as much as possible in these kind of games. He is direct and far more clinical in the final third.

I 100% agree that Sterling was better than Jesus, but both were off the mark for me. The problem with either of them is that they overthink the game. They try to beat four different players at once and if not, they go to the ground in the box with a brush of contact. All of it comes off as a loss in ball possession in a dangerous area. Jesus is a big problem though, he constantly tries to get an extra three to six feet before he shoots and gets closed down with that extra time.

We should've gotten at least two penalties in this match though. Havertz was absolutely taken down towards the end of the first half. Then Trossard gets freaking bodychequed by Bednarek towards the end of the second half. Once again, shoddy reffing.

Idiotic - just idiotic from Everton. How losing teams keep losing

Critical from Pickford.

His play on Southampton’s first goal is a quick summation of Mateus Fernandes as I understand him. Kid looks like a real talent and I still can’t believe Sporting sold him much less so cheaply.

United, play 90 good minutes today please.

 

[Venkman]

de Ligt and Martinez benched. Both terrible against Porto. Maguire and Evans start.

Harold Maguire and evans starting in defence after Ten Hag's spent several hundred million in his time

Delicious

United, play 90 good minutes today please.

I think that’s happened about 4 times over the last 3 years.

Not gonna lie, would be pretty funny if Bruno went 3/3 on red cards.

 

[Jack Straw]

United, play 90 good minutes today please.

I was thinking it feels weird to be rooting for United because they’re less of a threat than Aston Villa but here we are.

Not just that, but I think a good ManU performance would actually create more chaos there. "Can't fire him now!"

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Johnny Evans looks amazing. LOL

 

[hatterson]

I’d say this has been about as good a start as can be expected and yet they not really generated anything even half dangerous and Watkins has a good shot that just missed.

Chelsea really pushing into the final third a lot but not getting great chances.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Not sure Ugarte isn’t starting. You spent a boat load to get him give him a run out
