GWT: PL Matchweek (mostly) 26

[Blender]

Yup nothing matters but goals. Any day now we’ll see a 50 goal cb.

The 11 striker formation will be a big thing next year.

 

[hatterson]

Also in regards to BHAs conversion rates:



It’s not like they’re a team full of consistent bottlers, they’ve just had atrocious luck.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Was that meant to be a cross from Watkins? Absolutely not. Was it a beauty? Absolutely.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

It's come to my attention that we have the second best defense in the league, which is weird

The Crystal Palace game really shows this!

 

[Savant]

Worth repeating when discussing BHA's horrible results compared with performance:

View attachment 401199

I'm sure that will be +18 after today's game is added as well.

And I honestly think that table is about right all things considered. This year makes no sense.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

So with that, Liverpool are 7th or 8th in spirit, even if they're technically 6th, because Everton and Villa's game in hand on them is against one another and so regardless of the result at least one of them would pass Liverpool.

 

[Savant]

only thing that will come out of this is a fine for Dunk

 

[S E P H]

Brighton plays brilliant football and have been outdone by some shambolic ref decisions and just football plays in general. They're this season's version of most unfortunate football club in Europe. They would be at Crystal Palace if you'd switch the plays that happened to either club.

LFC probably need to beat Chelsea to have a chance at Top 4.

even with that it might be too late. The Henderson injury is another killer

 

[AB13]

Why have we rested 8 starters?

 

[AB13]

Penalty overturned?

 

[AB13]

Leicester aren't allowed yellow cards. Been the same in every game all season

 

[AB13]

If this is not a penalty then I can’t understand VAR

 

[robertmac43]

Not looking good for Barnes.

 

[robertmac43]

Atta boy Pepe!

 

[Evilo]

Pepe obtained the FK that resulted in Luiz' goal.
He obtained the penalty that resulted in Laca's goal.
He scored one of his own (and started the play).

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Why would he start Iheanacho and put Barnes wide when he could've started Barnes as a second striker off Vardy and played Albrighton?

 

[spintheblackcircle]

 

[hatterson]

Tierney just got hurt by a really soft header. That’s was kinda funny.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I'm old enough to remember when "who's better, Iheanacho or Rashford?" was a question people would earnestly ask

 

[robertmac43]

Fair play to Willian, played really well today. Pepe MOTM for me though.

 

[AB13]

Life, death, taxes, Granit Xhaka putting another solid 90 minutes even though everyone else was rested. Talk about engine. Amazing performance overall from Arsenal, should have won by more. Pepe, Xhaka, Lacazette with great games

 

[robertmac43]

One of the best parts of today is Saka got some needed rest!

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Bale scores a minute in, that works.

Burnley/Fulham/Palace are 3 easy matches on paper coming up, Spurs need all 9 to think about top 5.
