GWT: PL Matchweek (mostly) 26

[Blender]

Damn boring game so far was hoping this saves this weekend. Have poor games

Chelsea hasn't played an exciting game in quite some time, certainly never under Tuchel.

I'm obviously not a neutral, so my viewing experience is different, but as 0-0s go I've enjoyed this match

This probably is the most threatening we've been under Tuchel, but haven't managed to score. Normally we get like 1 or 2 good chances and that's it.

N'GOATlo Kante

On the main, the match has been hot garbage.

Two shots on target from Kova

 

[Gecklund]

Any time a Chelsea player goes down, it’s a foul. Any time a United player goes down, it’s play on. Absolute bullshit.

Point to a single one of these that wasn't a foul. For a United fan to complain about reffing against Chelsea is hilariously rich.

Considering United lost an obvious penalty and the last like 5 fouls called in United weren’t fouls.

don’t get me wrong United didn’t deserve to win, but the fact that one team gets the call and then the exact same thing happens on the other end and there’s no call is bullshit.

 

[Peen]

outside of how you feel about the pen it was a fairly reffed game lol

 

[Jussi]

Predictable finish.

AH even one of them losing would've been good to laugh at but I got nothing this weekend. Barca won but football fix hasnt been filled at all.

Not surprised by the result, nor the very negative and risk-free strategies used by both teams. At least it shows that the conservative style we have used against relegation sides also works against top 4 clubs.

Calling that an obvious penalty tells me all I need to know

Did his hand not touch the ball? Cause it definitely did. By letter of the law, it’s a penalty.

I already posted the link, they gave refs more leeway with handball decisions.

 

[Savant]

19th different starting CB pair for LFC today.

the Liverpool Echo has also reported that Nat Phillips is now regarded their “first choice” CB. So he’s obviously going down next.

Tuchel called it a "quality game" and said he made the tactical switch in the second half so that the 2 forwards would be more available to defend.

 

[East Coast Bias]

0-0 was the obvious result of the weekend. Both managers have been picking overly conservative lineups lately, and you knew this was coming. Called last week even.

 

[Aladyyn]

thank you Jurgen

Michael Owen is very unimpressed by this game, and I agree with him.

 

[Savant]

thank you Clattenberg

Fixed for you.

When I saw the starting line up, I had guarantees that Arteta has given up on the season. Yet, Arsenal completely played LC off the pitch that had to be one of the most dominant performances in the entire season. I hope this silences all those rubbish posters on here who say that LC is a better team, they simply got a fluke goal due to Mari making a complete mess of it. He rebounded nicely though and all the offensive players today were class; even Willian, but Pepe was MOTM easily. Odegaard showed forward thinking and he's able to make plays under minimal amount of time, which is something other Arsenal players can't. Plus Xhaka was great and Tierney was once again a revelation (I actually think he should be the one taking corner kicks for us). A great win to build up on for the next round of the Europa.

 

[hatterson]

thank you Jurgen

Thats hilariously awful if he said that, but I still stand by my statement that I’m glad it wasn’t given.

 

[Evilo]

Is there a single other high level midfielder worse at shooting than him?

I think his competition are Kante and Verrati.
