GWT: EPL Week 32

[Jussi]

Wolves still don't have a shot on goal in the second half. United have really done all the work for Wolves this season.

Wolves still don't have a shot on goal in the second half. United have really done all the work for Wolves this season.

Yea, United have been clearly the better side for about 80% of the game. There were about 15 mins in the first half they weren't good and they've been the much better side in the second half save Young being a moron.

Lukaku or Lingard take their chances early and it's a very different game.

Also that huge save off McTominay.

 

[hatterson]

Lingard has been very sloppy today though. Seems tired maybe.

 

[hatterson]

Wolves are doing a good job killing the game off. Really taking advantage of the extra man and just passing it around a lot.

 

[Jussi]

Lingard has been very sloppy today though. Seems tired maybe.

Well he did return from injury just recently.

 

[hatterson]

haha Smalling trying to get a second with the near post snipe.

 

[hatterson]

Cmon Pogba, how do you stand offside there.

 

[hatterson]

Thank you Ashley Young.

 

[Jussi]

Thank you Ashley Young.

That was a collective giveaway to Wolves just like the previous two games between these two.

 

[Jussi]

Cmon Pogba, how do you stand offside there.

The way he's played the last few games, makes it look like his mind is almost at Madrid already.

 

[Venkman]

Pogba with 2 stinkers in a row since the Madrid links. Lingard and Young were also shit. De Gea not himself either. McTom probably our best player, says it all.

 

[Cassano]

de Gea is no longer god like as he was the seasons before.

 

[hatterson]

de Gea is no longer god like as he was the seasons before.

He seemed mentally out of it today. Only half committed to the second goal and had another one where he slid into the ball but didn't really try to grab it before that.

He's let in stinkers all season TBH. Hasn't been up for it since he got Ronaldo'd at the world cup.

 

[YNWA14]

United not making the top 4 would be pretty funny. Arsenal look like the best of that little group at this point.

 

[Stray Wasp]

Meanwhile, Fulham achieve promotion in time to avoid playing in the Championship without the prop of parachute payments, only to spend a reported £100 million on players, suffer relegation, and enter another three-year window to escape the quicksand.

A special shout out to Mitrovic for bagging his second EPL relegation in four years. Ten goals in a relegated team looks respectable, but five came in his first six games. Rafa Benitez said that given plenty of service Mitrovic will score. What he tactfully left unspoken was how poor Mitrovic can be at the hard graft necessary to lead the line for a struggling team. Given the right circumstances, he could probably score a lot of goals for a mid-table club. But the motto would have to be 'don't put all your eggs in one basket case'.

 

[maclean]

Wolves, you're top 6 in my heart anyhow!

 

[Mr Plow]

United not making the top 4 would be pretty funny. Arsenal look like the best of that little group at this point.

Arsenal will drop a lot of points in their last seven games. Their home/away splits are the most extreme in the league and they have some tricky away matches in their run in at Everton, Watford, Wolves and Leicester.

As amazing as it sounds, Arsenal only have two wins away from the Emirates in all competitions over the last 4 months. Since November they've beat Huddersfield away (congrats) and Blackpool away (double congrats). That is shocking. Their other 4 away wins in the league have come against Bournemouth, Newcastle, Cardiff, and Fulham.

I have Arsenal finishing on 73 points. That might be enough to get into the top 4 but I would bet on United and Spurs turning it around and topping that total.

It's a fair cop.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Would be peak Spursy to lay an egg in their first match in their new home.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

she's a beauty

 

[YNWA14]

This is almost as nice as watching a well worked goal. What beautiful defending.

The speed at which he closes down Sissoko when he sees he's committed to doing it himself.

 

[hatterson]

This is almost as nice as watching a well worked goal. What beautiful defending.

I'm more impressed with how poorly Sissoko played it. He basically did everything wrong.

 

[Il Mediano]

well done to Virgil there.

Crazy how rare proper defenders are these days.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Watching some pre match. What a stadium Spurs have built.
