GWT: PL Matchweek (mostly) 15 & 16

[SSF]

Robertmac derby 1st half sucked

 

[AB13]

No chances but we're defending really well. Potter is one of the best coaches in the league and makes Brighton a tough game for every team. Brighton a nightmare fixture that obviously needs better football than Arteta is capable of. We're still 10x better than pre-Chelski though.

 

[ghostnights]

Why did I bet on Arsenal ? That Chelsea Arsenal fixture must’ve knocked a few of my screws loose.

Southampton is just relentless, but they have nothing to show for it yet.

 

[Halladay]

Great play by Saka.

 

[AB13]

Hale End boys remembering Mister Wenger's teachings is what's making this team tick. Some great football this half. Beautiful from Saka.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Saka is so good. So freaking good.

 

[phisherman]

There was no red card for this?

 

[hatterson]

Why should there be a red card for that? His foot is at knee level and he's swinging for the ball.

 

[Blender]

There was no red card for this?

There was no card at all.

 

[robertmac43]

Please don't be a serious injury for Saka, he's been good throughout the crap!

 

[The Abusement Park]

There was no red card for this?

Why would there be a red for that?

 

[phisherman]

Because it was a reckless play.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Artetin?

 

[AB13]

Graham Potter is very similar to Julian Nagelsmann, from the little I have seen of both teams. Both implement very similar concepts and play in very similar fashion. Nagelsmann implemented this same 3 at the back Brighton are currently playing with 1 player in the pivot, two wing backs and a diamond type shape between the lines, with the attacking midfielders and a striker. They are both all about rotations and positional superiority in every phase. Potter is elite.

 

[Jussi]

Because it was a reckless play.

Ball is at knee level, players heads aren supposed to be there. That doesn't qualify as reckless. It's just a freak accident.

 

[AB13]

Arteta has just tried here to play Saka here in his 7th full 90 since 29th of November.
Averaging 145 minutes per week for over a month and he's got another injury here. Nightmare but completely self inflicted and predictable.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Because it was a reckless play.

It’s unfortunate but not reckless. The ball is at a kicking level and at that speed it’s hard to predict that the dudes head will end up at ball level.

 

[hatterson]

Going to the corner and flopping against a side 2 points above relegation. Truly the mightiest club.

 

[koyvoo]

NES is sitting Semedo today. Lol.

 

[Blender]

Well, Southampton-West Ham ends 0-0. Thought Southampton was better overall, but West Ham also had a great chance.

 

[hatterson]

And unsurprisingly the ref lets wasting time have no consequences at all.

 

[robertmac43]

Kills me seeing Burnley ahead of Brighton at this point in the season. The Albion deserve better.

Funny how bitter you are.
