A Horse Named Stranger Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Liverpool and City just walking from win to win in more or less leisurely pace. While the pack can't decide who should get into the top four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mme Erzulie Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Horsey, have you seen enough of Møller-Dæhlie to make an assessment of him? Also feel bad for Koulibaly. Had a rough day getting done by Higuain like that and then score the game winning OG in OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Mats Why are you asking? Hands off!!! He had a great start into the season, Luhukay has moved him into a more central position, which seems to suit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Wait, Arsenal have dropped Ceballos to the bench? Ffs that doesn't help my fantasy team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Great opportunity for Arsenal here. Alderweireld at RB should be a good area to exploit. Ndombele injured and Lo Celso on the bench leaves the midfield lacking creativity + the issues with Eriksen as well as Vertonghen and Alderweirled's contracts expiring at the end of the season which Poch himself said has lead to the squad being unsettled. ETA. Everton/Wolves has been a good game. As I expected, EL exertions have impacted Wolves and they haven't made a great start to the season. I doubt they finish above either Everton or Leicester this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL is a curse for an aspiring team, especially when it requires the qualifying rounds too. Wolves have a bigger squad than the Burnley side that struggled to balance EL and PL, but not enough bigger to really matter so far. But it’s really hard to avoid this trap. The players and fans grind their way through years of the same domestic games, until a high league finish is rewarded with the opportunity for a new adventure. You can’t not embrace that adventure, even if you know it’s a poisoned chalice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskaral Pust Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 It’s only four games into the season, United and Chelsea have the same amount of points, United have much better goal difference, and United (somewhat fortunately) smashed Chelsea on the opening day. And yet it already feels like Solskjaer’s job is much less safe than Lampard’s. Mainly because Lampard is earlier in his honeymoon period with the fans, and because it’s the homegrown youth players that are playing well so far. Lots can change for either team, especially once they’re playing European games each week. There’s potential for either to hit on a line-up and style that works, although neither looks great at coaching tactics so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Heh, there’s been a lot of positivity about Arsenal this week and they’ve started by far the better side, and they’ve just gifted Spurs a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Arsenal are at the point Liverpool were at the start of the 2017/2018 season. Look dangerous going forward with quality players in attack but with a shit defence and goal keeper that are capable of shooting themselves in the foot at any moment.

Jeor Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Good way to end the half. Pre-match was hoping for 3 points against a Tottenham side that hasn't been performing well recently, but I guess I'll take 1 point if we can get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philokles Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Amazing you can pick such a conservative midfield and still be so open. Playing like that you might as well have Ceballos and Özil as well as the front 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he generally starts off with the right tactics but his in game management is quite poor. He leaves substitutions very late and seems to have no answer when the opposition makes tactical tweaks. Also, he's starting to strike me as a 'yes man' who thanks Woodward for feeding him shit. If he's really content with the squad then he has just sabotaged himself. Just look at our last two games when we were chasing a goal - against Palace our best options off the bench was Mata and Greenwood and against Southampton it was Lingard and Greenwood. Midtable clubs have better options than that. Not prioritising the need to replace Herrera, Fellaini and Lukaku was criminally amateurish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Imagine your center-back being Luiz, so knowing you need cover in front of him for when he goes crazy, and the best option for that is Xhaka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
