GWT: PL Matchweek 3

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Richarlison is off.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Setting up for a classic loss for one of these teams.

 

[KJS14]

Wasn’t there just a list of the next 12 games arguing City would walk those except the Liverpool game?

Funny. Considering how extremely rare it is for any team to win 11 out of 12.

There was a list like that, but it's silly to expect City to win every game (or 11 out of 12) when they'll obviously drop points against teams that they should be favored against. It's equally as silly to say "told you so" after one game - a draw against a team that most people expect to finish in the top half, especially when they should have won the game.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

West Ham edging that half in terms of play; Arsenal lucky to be square.

 

[Cassano]

City should be ashamed they only put 2 past these defenders in week 1.

Bellerin the king of executing the offside trap 5 seconds late.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Can't believe Snodgrass is getting in the team ahead of Yarmolenko.

Yeah I'm not saying liverpool are going to win the league because of this result I just thought it was silly for people to dismiss KdB's impact.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Took a while this season to be able to say this but the Hammers did ok in the 1st half..
Still, terrible defending on the goal against and why exactly is Snodgrass on the pitch?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I assume that Richarlison will appeal. Will be very interesting to see if he gets a ban or not.

 

[Gecklund]

Richarlison is off.

Watching the replay, that is a very weak call. I know he headbutted him but it was so soft. He barely touched him with his head. I get it you have to call it but the way the players reacted caused the card.

He clearly instigated the headbutt. It's a straight red all day.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I mean, I assume that it is still considered violent conduct, even if the headbutt was not very hard.

Yeah I know but still. He acted like he got shot and he barely got touched.

 

[bluesfan94]

I've never considered it "unlucky" to hit posts. Ever so slightly poorly aimed finish.

As a goalie, you feel pretty f***ing lucky when a ball posts out. You don’t feel like you ever so slightly covered your angle.

 

[KJS14]

West Ham looks like they bought their away kits from a Chelsea clearance sale from a few years ago. They got the home shirt and shorts, but the away socks.

 

[Cassano]

someone explain to emery building from the back doesn't mean lateral passes from the gk across the box

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

That is correct. You are lucky that the finisher made a slightly poor finish, not that the finisher was unlucky.

 

[bluesfan94]

That is correct. You are lucky that the finisher made a slightly poor finish, not that the finisher was unlucky.

But if the finish was closer to goal I would have saved it.

 

[bluesfan94]

Why are we taking Guendouzi off and not Xhaka I don’t understand.

 

[Cassano]

Spanish Sherwood

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Spanish Sherwood

Sherwood would have played Bellerin as a central midfielder.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Now this would be a good time for Lucas Perez to score a couple..

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Now Adam Smith, the player Richarlison headbutted, is off.

 

[KJS14]

I bet we won't hear a peep about how Arsenal look like crap in buildup without Ozil.
