GWT: EPL - Matchweek 28 (ft. MW 17)

[hatterson]

Newcastle getting upset at Chelsea wasting time is funny given how little of the game Newcastle actually play.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

WOOOOOOWW

 

[Peen]

Mudryk glimpse

 

[gary69]

Mudryk with nice dribble and managed to score even.

 

[hatterson]

So if the defender blocks the shot with his first foot, but then his trailing leg knocks the ball in as a totally separate action, could that be counted as an OG? Or not because it's all part of a single block attempt?

I think in this case the ball was never actually stopped, so it doesn't matter, but it made me curious about the scoring side of it.

I thought it was an OG

 

[Peen]

I think caicedo’s been genuinely really good today

 

[Peen]

Cucurella is so stupid

 

[luiginb]

Cucurella is so stupid

He's been playing injured since before the Casadei sub. I think it's on Poch for not taking him out earlier, he's made two subs since the Cucurella injury.

Mudryk has been quietly having a good season when it comes to goal contribution/minute played. And I say quietly because he hasn't been playing much.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Newcastle suck.

I think Mudryk is not ready for this level and needs a better coach but there is no reason for Sterling to have played as much as he has this season.

Sell sterling

This whole game was two midtable sides being shit

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Left work at half time, got home and watched the second without spoilers. Just finished.

Fun game!! A little messy, a little open. Good chances.

Nothing on earth better than a Misha goal. Truly nothing. He hasn't gotten more minutes in large part because you never know what you're gonna get, but there is definitely a really good player there.

We have... a very decent run-in. Win our game in hand and we're a point back of 7th. We also have a head-to-head with United in 6th. Letting myself feel a little bit of hope.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

True. We cannot. It's about a 75% chance of a goal. I'd rather that than no chance.

This to me might be the biggest problem with the whole sport.

1) Make penalties harder
2) Call more obvious penalties

Seems like an easy fix.

The issue is if you make penalties harder you incentivize more fouls in dangerous positions.

Yep. Just call penalties more consistently. Football refs don't have to be as bad EPL refs are.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Dragusin with his first extended playing time and he was pretty good. Spurs only have 1 match in the next 20 days, so hopefully it's not anything that would last that long.

VDV will likely miss Fulham but then he is expected back for their next match 2 weeks later

Both times VDV hurt his hamstrings were on offside calls where the linesman waits to raise the flag forcing VDV to sprint unessessarily.

 

[JPBolts]

Luton up 3… wow

 

[GeoRox89]

Luton up 3… wow

What a collapse

 

[bluesfan94]

What a collapse

I imagine you must be pleased to see that.

 

[hatterson]

So with Luton and Bournemouth bagging three (at least) in this game, here is the complete list of teams that Manchester United have outscored this season with 10 games remaining:

Crystal Palace
Everton
Nottingham Forest
Burnley
Sheffield United

That's it

 

[GeoRox89]

I imagine you must be pleased to see that.

Incredibly but in an ideal world for me, at least one of Everton/Brentford/Palace drop below and we could both stay up. Luton is a likeable team that I wish Forest wasn’t in a huge relegation battle with

 

[robertmac43]

What a turnaround for Bournemouth and what a collapse for Luton. That one is going to hurt.
