GWT: PL Matchweek (mostly)19 and 20

[Savant]

Arsenal are absolutely in the top 4 race. So are Chelsea. I can absolutely see Arsenal and Spurs both finishing higher.

I think Arsenal can absolutely get 4th. I think the top three is pretty settled though. City is best. I still think LFC is second best on talent and Chelsea is third best on talent. Whoever wins Sunday probably finishes in second though. Think everyone else is fighting for fourth but hey let’s see what happens.

Not really sure how this helps Arsenal at all but these definitely could be top three Welbeck goals for @robertmac43

Considering Chelseas upcoming fixtures there’s a pretty good chance we can catch up on them now i’d say.

I think Chelsea are in a false position and do expect them to keep dropping points. They simply don’t create enough chances against compact sides and their lack of offensive creativity is finally catching up to them.

It would be nice if you are proved right on this.

I don't care about an 8-point lead. There's 38 games in a season and it's not over.

They’re not as good as Liverpool or City, but they’ve still clearly been the 3rd best offensive team in the league this year by xG and are also third in xGA.

I don’t think they’re quite on the same level as City or Liverpool, but there’s still a clear step between them and anyone below.

I lost my mind yesterday when that goal went in! When Welbz is healthy he is captain clutch.

SANCHO! Or OG?

 

[Aladyyn]

Feels good to have Shaw back

 

[Jussi]

SIIIIUUUUUU!

 

[Mount Suribachi]

Weird half, playing better, but not amazingly better, creating more chances but still looking vulnerable at the back.

They've been more defensively solid through the first 25 of the second half, but also haven't really generated anything aside from a couple counters.

 

[hatterson]

Moss is such a bad official

The game alternates from basically rugby to a total non-contact game with absolutely no warning.

 

[hatterson]

Closing 5 minutes have not been good.

That game reminded me of a Champions League group game against a Polish or Austrian team in the Fergie era. Lifeless crowd, mediocre performance, never get out of 2nd gear; win 3-1
