GWT: EPL - Matchweek 11

[bluesfan94]

Week 11 brings a few fun matches: United will look to right the ship against Fulham, while we have multiple London derbies. In the first, West Ham heads across town to take on the Bees of Brentford, while the matchweek ends with Chelsea heading north to take on Spurs. While in some matchweeks, that would be seen as the highlight, this week is actually headlined by Newcastle hosting Arsenal. Remember - with DST, times will be a little funky.

Sounds like Udogie will be out against Chelsea.

Emerson should start, Davies doesn't have the wheels to play effectively under Ange. He was exposed pretty bad last week.

He was probably playing injured. Wasn't in the squad against Fulham and supposedly also a doubt against Chelsea.

 

[maclean]

bump, game dayyyy

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Glad Spurs are a Monday match this week, I am leaving in a bit to drive to Charleston to see Tool tonite.

 

[hatterson]

Can’t wait to see what kind of clown show United end up this week.

 

[hatterson]

Also, am I the only one who doesn’t get why Rashford is being punished?

Dude went out to celebrate his birthday, a celebration he had specifically delayed until after the game so it wouldn’t impact him getting ready for the game.

Is the idea somehow that players aren’t allowed to have fun when the team is a tire fire? I’m sure that’s a great way to improve team morale.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Team is reporting an injury, not a punishment.

But who knows

 

[hatterson]

I’m skeptical of that. But either way, even ETH calling it unacceptable and saying it would be dealt with internally is making a way bigger deal of it than it should have been.

If United had won, would anyone have cared that he went out? No, absolutely not. So why should a loss, that he wasn’t even at fault for, mean he can’t go out for a small birthday celebration.

 

[maclean]

Yeah, I also read that report and was just like huh? Though to be fair, Ten Hag kind of brushed it off as well, so felt a bit like the media trying to push a narrative, but yeah calling it unacceptable seems weird. Maybe just mad he wasn't invited

 

[luiginb]

I thought Maguire had a bit too long of a night after he went down like that, but after the replay he might be concussed.

 

[hatterson]

Looks like it may have been an eye injury instead of a concussion.

Still weird that they don’t have some sort of mandatory quiet room check period for those situations.

He said he apologized so nothing further on that. He said before the game to MUTV that Rashford's "fit but not fit enough to start". Sounds like a knock or illness. Some rumors that he's been playing with a "niggle" which has turned into an injury. EDIT:

In his pre-match interview with TNT Sports, Erik ten Hag confirmed: "He was travelling with us but he didn't make it. He was tested this morning but [his leg] wasn't good enough. He's not fit."

 

[Jussi]

MCDOMINATOR!

 

[hatterson]

Elite #9 McTominay to the rescue.

 

[Jussi]

Garnacho assist, his first of the season?

 

[hatterson]

They're gonna call Maguire for offside for making an attempt at the ball.

 

[Venkman]

f*** off is that offside.

 

[Jussi]

Oh ffs...

 

[luiginb]

If that's offside then it should be a penalty

 

[Jussi]

"Subjective offside", can't say I've heard that term before.
