The Footie Thread

Sheff Utd & Burnley are already down for me.
Then it’s between Everton,Luton & Forest.
Personally I’d prefer to see Forest or Everton go,but got a feeling it’ll be Luton.

No doubt we’ve struggled, team is not very good, lack of goals, etc etc, taking all that in to account, points wise (without deduction) there are 6 teams who have less points than us so far this season, what does it say about them?

Hence why I questioned why he thinks we are the weakest?

When it gets to the business end of the season I tend to look at goals for, goals against to give an indication of how likely a club is to go down. Defensively, Everton are way better. But where are the points going to come from if you’re not scoring? In your favour, its most definitely in your hands as you’re due to play both Forest and Luton.

And Sheff Utd.

There’s no easy games, if we go down via the points we’ve had taken off us then we’ve only got ourselves to blame for being badly run.

I just look at others around us and they are in the mix because they haven’t been good enough so far (bar Forest).

Talk of needing one more win etc is a bit premature imo.

Beto misses from 5 yards and a minute later Chelsea are one up.

Seems like a few of the recent posts have been encapsulated in 60 seconds of football.

To be fair to Beto, Coleman drilled it at him at knee height. Poor pacing of pass from Coleman.

In the meantime, Cole Palmer

Everton look bad at the back here.
Trying to play a high press but once Chelsea are through their wide open.

Probably, but today is the day that 115 charges, oil money etc etc goes up another level because of either.
1, Liverpool bottled it.
2, Arsenal bottled it.
What will be wrongly forgotten also today is that.
1, Palace played brilliantly.
2, Villa played brilliantly.
What will also be forgotten is that.
Arsenal have spent generations taunting Spurs as serial bottlers when they are not doing a bad job themselves again.

Yep, we Eagles only won because Liverpool were so bad, wonder if they were watching the same game as me. We finally had Eze, Olise and Mateta all playing for the first time in ages, clubs like us don't have as good reserves as the original players

 

[nickjdavis]

Cole Palmer must have put a few noughts on his value in recent weeks.

If your relegated because of the points deduction it will put pressure on the PL to deal with City.

But that’s not much comfort to relegated teams.
Just how long can they put this off.?

Palace played well especially the forward line.
But we created so many good chances that I would question the defending a tad.
Don’t get me wrong it could have been 4-4 but palace scored and we didn’t that’s all that counts.

Oh Dear.

You might want to rethink your opinion of Everton’s defence.

 

[PJ87]

Palmer looks the real deal

Everton make Jackson look like Pele

You're spot on about the 4-4 but some of the defending by us was magnificent with splashes of luck , but the save by Robertson on the line was almost a gamesaver

 

[nickjdavis]

If this was Cricket Chelsea would be looking to declare.

I hope City take the PL on and beat them. Absolutely no trust in the PL

Not the first time Chelsea have scored 4 at home recently!

Yes it was one of them games the neutral would have enjoyed.
