GWT: EPL - Matchweek 9

[Venkman]

6 chances for United plus Alvarez headed against his own bar. Fabianski with a couple a nice saves. Bruno's passing has been great.

A managerial change wouldn't magically make this team scoring.

You can bring a horse to water but you can’t make him drink

What you can do, however, is ensure the horse gets brought to the water often so he at least drinks sometimes

Appalling finishing is hard to fix with coaching, but United’s chance creation sucks and that’s largely the job of the manager

 

[Peen]

Livramento v Neto has been a fun matchup. Both playing well.

Madueke and Hall same, but less isolated

Sometimes you just have to say nice goal. They played through our press very well.

Pretty fun game. They’ve gotten tighter to Palmer the last 25 minutes so it’s been a slower game.

Pope looks really really shaky

Feel as though there’s numerous simulations where he takes a red on a mistimed challenge after Jackson gets a through ball in behind Burn

Just hasn’t happened in this one

Actually chance creation hasn't been the problem per se this season but finishing. Which was an issue last season as well.

The idiots who want him out are clearly not watching the games. Against Fenerbache, his absence was notable and today his presense has been very notable.

What a hit laddy!

Schar is having a miserable day

 

[Jussi]

Consussion protocols... What a concept.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Saved by the offside flag.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Need to make this count with a third

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Mazraoui is such a good player when he's not injured.

And Mazraoui is down!

 

[Blender]

Lavia has been really good.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

The commentary on Jackson is driving me insane

The man had like the second or third most open play goals in the league last year!

The constant narrative that he had a bad season is laughable.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Spurs switch to a 4-2-4.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I don’t see how that’s not a yellow for Barnes, he loses the ball and drags down his dispossessor

 

[Peen]

mudryk on is 100% the right sub

livramento has been exhausted since the 50th or so

Yea at the very least it will cause him to sprint even more and open up space elsewhere.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Misha gonna do war crimes on Livramento let’s gooooo

 

[Jussi]

I think we both fear what this means...

And there it is. *sigh*

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Caicedo is extraordinary, but that’s obviously a foul by Isak on Fofana

 

[Blender]

Colwill and Caicedo massively bail out Fofana there.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

The back and forth knife edge of this game is not good for my hangover

 

[Jussi]

Casemiro! Zirkzee with the assist. Looked like a set play.

 

[Jussi]

Penalty for that?

 

[Chimaera]

De Ligt sucks.

Its iffy. But he kicks the guy.
