'Even allowing for inflation, this thread is not worth 198 Terry Francises' - EPL 2017-18

morata having a truly sensational game of bad finishing

is Chambers the Arsenal number 16? they need to sign some centre backs

16 was Holding, Chambers was 21 (I do not know this by heart, beeb sez so)

holding is one of those players who will be a championship regular before long and nobody will quite know how he had a brief career at a top club (see also: neil mellor, starring role in the olympiakos comeback lest we forget)

Game of the season that

enjoyed that, couple of lads in the pub lost serious money on the result, lols all round

deems presumably staring on stony-faced

17 attempts to 0

Ffs

Do you fucking believe that

Dier obv

ATTEMPTS 1

Attempts!= Threats obv this is pustule

lol! this sounds like absolute villainy.

should be two, actually

Deems otm. Eighteen attempts and, maybe, two chances.

this could go on until 2019 and these fucks wouldn't score

every single one of us will stand by david moyes

Aw yeah.

prob a foul ten seconds before

alas

why are they trying to waste time srsly

holy shit @ that 30-second barrage in added time

result not as net negative as it might have been, attempts stats as irrelevant as possession ones always are (aka SV otm)

On target doesn't tell how many were harmless trundles or straight at the keeper.

still don't know the answer to this btw

He's a talented English player who's having a real moment.

I still don't think he does enough to influence games in an overall sense from #10 or the wing (although he is much better playing centrally) but he seems incapable of scoring anything but screamers

Def agree that wing is a bad place for him. I also would easily take a hundred better #10's over him. But yeah, the kid keeps scoring goals ffs

Mkhitaryan hauled off at half time again though

dead man walking

Yeah he's done. He'll enter the no man's land Blind suddenly finds himself in, too.

Heard Dortmund would be open for Mkhitaryan to return. I hope so for the guy.

don't the Dortmund fans hate him?

A lot of them do, but this is football: they'll welcome him back in loving arms in no time probably. He seems sensitive a lad who needs a warm nest, so I hope he finds it somewhere. Too delicate for Mou's bulldozering for sure.

Also, for the record - and the finish wasn't all that - but props to Lukaku on that second goal. He was standing still, on his own half, and then set up the attack in a blinding pace. Beautiful.

yeah, really nice counter. Seems to have a much better understanding with Martial than he does with Rashford (who seems to be in a bit of a young Ronaldo phase at the moment in that he's forgotten his teammates exist. Exuberance of youth and all that, but he shouldn't be a starter at the moment)

Yeah, agree. And this is Mou-ball, so Rashford is in danger of becoming the new non-scoring, fifth-wheel-on-the-attack-wagon taht Lingard used to be until very recently. I'd play Martial sooner right now too because he connects the dots more than Rashford's individual class matters.

Dat headline <3

Coutinho off for £142m according to the Liverpool Echo.

As much as I've loved the wee shite and it's crazy money and the magical lure of Barcelona and all that why this transfer of a cup-tied player to a team who've already won the league couldn't wait til the summer leaves a bitter taste

Would take mahrez in a heartbeat btw

XP agreed

With keita coming etc it just seems a pointless aggravation

Otm. He'll miss out on cl football and could've left this summer w/ heads up high

otm

also re mahrez

lol, some of the fucking numpts on 606 talking about potential Mark Hughes replacements who could "do a job", all beginning with R: Redknapp, Rogers and Rowett.

But not Ryan?

Gyan Riggs? The Man Utd legend was allegedly waiting for a truly massive vacancy to open up, one that befits his talents, something like Kitman's Assistant at Ossett Albion.
