The Footie Thread

[JonnyGutteridge]

Not impressed with Maresca either. He seems convinced that he can play a B team away from home against lower table opposition, and convinced that top level footballers can’t play twice in a week. He is categorically wrong.

Brentford, Burnley and today. Nowhere near good enough. It’s infuriating.

Chelsea’s inconsistency is absolutely shocking, look like champions one week and mid table the next

 

[Skytot]

Good result for Liverpool

 

[SteveW86]

That was a nervy watch, thought it would be hard to cling on but stings a bit that it was such a deflection for the equaliser.

Nearly a surprise winner too, but good tracking back by Chiesa

Good result for Liverpool

In the end yes it was.
The tactics in the first half were woeful.

We’re just to slow building up
Havnt got anybody who can see a run and actually play the pass.
The crossing is abysmal.
We didn’t deserve to win.

Isak is a shadow of the player he is .
He’s so slow and just anonymous.
But the service to him isn’t very good.

Chelsea have never looked like Champions to be fair. A side with a lot of high quality individuals but a poor manager, terrible defence and no elite striker. They will probably finish Top 4 due to this being one of the worst quality PL's for decades.

Worst I think Forest have played since promotion and we had Ange for 8 games

Still, I’ll take 1-0 and 3 points!

Wolves might be in danger of beating Derby’s record, they’re that bad :-(

If it was a Sunday League I'd be expecting them to fold shortly then reappear next season under a new name.

Great advert for the Premier League wasn’t it?

I guess sometimes you have to win ugly. But hand on heart, if anyone held the opinion that both teams should be docked points because of how bad it was, I’m not sure I could put up a good counter-argument!

I think Wolves needed to win that desperately. The position they are in they have to win their home games, the fact you say Forest were poor but still got the result shows that they are already done.
As for Forest it’s exactly the sort or result Dyche is known for and why he has managed in the premier for so long.
He knows how to get results.

Standard PL defending now!
Back off and encourage them to shoot while turning your back.
Pretty poor.

I saw a piece about Harvey Elliott yesterday. Suggesting he isn't getting played partly because of payment clauses to Liverpool and partly because he hasn't impressed.

What's the thinking from your end? He looked a decent player at Liverpool, does he just not quite fit at Villa?

Villa can’t afford the pay the £35mil so he is just rotting there

Hopefully they get him out of there and to a club that will play him - think he will suit a team in. Germany

On a positive note, I don’t think anyone else has noticed.

A cold damp night at OT. Looking at the lineups be interesting to see how long Mainoo puts up with being on the bench.
If he's going to leave not playing him sees his value plummeting

 

[Red devil]

And once again right footed full back, Dalot, playing left wing. No, me neither
