GWT: EPL - Matchweek 17

[Blender]

Does Jackson know what an offside is?

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Can someone teach Jackson the offside rule for f***s sake

 

[Blender]

It's going to suck when they sell our best player and captain.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Holy shit another offside

It's going to suck when they sell our best player and captain.

Just don't say it and I'm gonna pretend it won't happen

 

[hatterson]

Jackson trying to set the single game record for being caught offside.

Edit: I actually wonder what that record is.

 

[Blender]

Jackson apparently lives offside.

 

[bleedblue1223]

It's shocking how Jackson looked promising at the start of the season and is now utter shit.

A very dominant City so far are 1-0 up against Palace. They're missing KdB, Haaland and Doku forward,but the latter's emergence this year seems to have lit a fire under Grealish's ass who now has 3 goals in his last 4 games.

 

[bleedblue1223]

It's going to suck when they sell our best player and captain.

I'll be done with them.

 

[JPBolts]

Joelinton subbed off as well, injured

 

[Blender]

Gallagher with yet another brilliant play but it dies when it goes to the attackers.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Refs have gotten a lot worse at whistling clean tackles from defender recovery runs

 

[Blender]

About the level of performance and frustration I expected.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

I remember when folks thought Chelsea was on the come-up after Spurs/City along with the constant touting of their xG.

 

[luiginb]

City lucky there as another ref might have sent Ederson off.

Fulham's kits are such an eyesore. Barney purple, bleah

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I remember when folks thought Chelsea was on the come-up after Spurs/City along with the constant touting of their xG.

I remember when watching games and using the eye test, along with the underlyings, showed that Chelsea were performing well and finishing poorly for the first 10 matches before then playing very well (but not to the level of a contender, which is why Arsenal and City were both draws) in big games against Arsenal, Spurs, and City.

The performances have gotten markedly worse since then.

Doesn't take a long to look at their injuries this season and see where a big part of the problem is.

Runs a lot deeper than the injuries, unfortunately.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I think Fulham's going to keep this 0-0

 

[Blender]

It definitely does, there's some flawed squad building in there. Still we're missing 4 wingbacks and having to play with 4 CBs for example, that makes a big difference.

They look better to the eye as compared to last year but their finish has looked terrible all year, which is why I never took their xG seriously. They have finishers made out of cardboard.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

So few positives to take from the first half of this season, but one is that Mudryk has looked better and better with each match

 

[hatterson]

City lucky there as another ref might have sent Ederson off.

Red would have been a clear mistake for VAR to fix. It wasn't excessive force and there was cover (both close to the ball and closer to the middle of the goal) so it doesn't count as DOGSO.

He's looking way better and as I've been saying he's not getting the ball put to him often enough. Colwill isn't offensively creative enough to link up with him down the left well.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Sterling bursting forward with the ball and Jackson.... five yards off
