GWT: PL Matchweek 10

[BKIslandersFan]

David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army wasting no time!

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Deflected goal, but jesus someone put a challenge in.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Grealish flop #1. Though that one could be classified as a dive.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Villa getting every 50/50 call, West Ham getting none of them.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Okay, I've seen enough. I'm ready to anoint early contenders for Flopping Team of the Year. Surprise, it's Villa.

Also, I'd back Kevin Nolan to beat up every member of the Villa staff, including John Terry.

 

[Havre]

Good good. Makes sense for West Ham to play their two best players.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Double change at the half, and Benrahma to Bowen.

Switched to a back four looks like, hold fast here.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Grealish can get f***ed, honestly.

 

[Rob]

Trezeguete should have scored there

 

[AB13]

Grealish is genuinely a world class player

 

[Jersey Fresh]

This referee is absolutely diabolical.

 

[Rob]

Commentator said that Ollie Watkins is only 2 for 6 on penalties. Damn.

 

[S E P H]

No idea why people keep on saying Arsenal's place is a result of their roster.
They have a quality roster that should perform much better if the XI selections were better and the coaching half decent.
You could have a CB pairing of Gabriel and Saliba. Would rank amont the top CB pairing in the league.
Bellerin, Tierney, that's decent.
Then in midfield you could have Guendouzi, Partey at B2B, Luiz at DM, Pepe at 10. Auba and Laca up front.

Leno
Bellerin-Saliba-Gabriel-Tierney
Luiz
Guendouzi-Partey
Pepe
Auba-Laca

Sorry but that's easily a top 6 starting XI.

And then bench : Ceballos, Martinelli, Elneny, Xhaka, Kolasinac, Nelson, etc...

That's a very interesting setup Evilo, quite like it. However, I highly doubt Arteta would ever play that.

 

[Canes]

Another day, another goal ruled offside by VAR by a matter of inches

Heartbreaker for Aston Villa

I hate VAR.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Offside by the tip of your hair? Ludicrous use of VAR technology.

 

[Canes]

I hate VAR.

Same, I understand they want to get the calls right and it technically is offside but I think calling these minuscule offsides where it takes several minutes to decide goes against the spirit of the game. I feel the same for NHL's use of replay as well.

I concede nothing.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

West Ham up to 5th, by the way. Not a great performance today by any means. No fluidity going forward at all. Getting ahead early in both halves I think was actually a negative for West Ham because they always revert to soaking up pressure and countering, but they had nothing going today.

Antonio was clearly not match fit. If I have my way, Benrahma is replacing Fornals on the left wing moving forward.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I wanna feel bad for Villa because I think that was a classic case of VAR going against the spirit of itself, but Bournemouth are currently in the Championship because goal line tech ignored a Sheffield winner, so I struggle to cry too much.

True that, but you know what they say about two wrongs and all that.

 

[Havre]

I don't really like that haircut anyway.

 

[robertmac43]

Excited for this week Grealish hates VAR post

 

[Jersey Fresh]

I don't really like that haircut anyway.

I was going to tag you on this!



...He grabs the wrong knee!

That's disgusting. They really need to start coming down on players who do this.
