GWT: PL Matchweek (mostly) 28

[Jussi]

He was only lying there because of just losing a duel. It is clear that he has no time to get out of the way more than he does. Since he doesn’t affect De Geas ability to make a save, clear goal!

Nope.

VAR ref was Jon Moss who is far from a United "fan".

Everyone sucks this season except for Liverpool City and Leicester.

Even Leicester isn’t great lately

Leicester has struggled in 2020. Lucky for them they built a big enough lead in the first part where they will qualify for the champions league.

At their current form, they're dropping out of top 4 and top 5.

The longest undefeated streak in the EPL is held by Arsenal followed by Burnley

 

[Jersey Fresh]

If you allow that, then player begin lying on the ground in front of keeper in an offside position in every game. No way that kind of behavior was going to be tolerated.

Lol what?

 

[Gecklund]

At their current form, they're dropping out of top 4 and top 5.

When you add in the other teams form, no they aren’t.

What team in the top 5 is actually on good form? At this rate I think Wolves is going to push one of them out.

 

[Jussi]

When you add in the other teams form, no they aren’t.

With Vardy out, they don't have a scoring threat. I can see them not getting more than 2-4 points from their next 4 games.

 

[Gecklund]

With Vardy out, they don't have a scoring threat. I can see them not getting more than 2-4 points from their next 4 games.

And I can see every other team around them getting the same amount of points.

[S E P H]

We're still posting that Henderson isn't very talented?

Henderson is one of the most underrated blokes in the EPL, but he simply doesn't create chances as good as other teams' midfield options.

This dude really just used Foden, Lemar, and Puig as arguments that these teams have better midfield lmao

Never said Lemar, said Neymar.

 

[HoseEmDown]

Arsenal have been better than Liverpool most decades since the 30s, with the 60s, 70s and 80s being the only exeptions. Arsenal are possibly a bigger club than Liverpool.

Nothing, absolutely nothing. Supporters of Juve and Milan don't seem to care that their clubs went invincible in the past 30 years. They are just holding on to this. Which they can if they want to.

You're talking about a kiddie league though, Milan and Juve had some amazing teams in the past that are better than majority of Arsenal's club, but to say that EPL and Serie A were ever on a level playing-field is just hilarious.

Arsenal have been better than Liverpool most decades since the 30s, with the 60s, 70s and 80s being the only exeptions. Arsenal are possibly a bigger club than Liverpool.

No they are, the three best clubs ever in the EPL have been...

1. Man United
2. Arsenal
3. Leeds United
- Blackpool (not in order)
- Liverpool (not in order)
- Chelsea (not in order)
- Everton (not in order)

Arsenal might not have the trophy case as some other teams, but make up for it with an invincible season and NEVER being ever relegated from the EPL in 100+ years of existence.

Everyone sucks this season except for Liverpool City and Leicester.

Leicester haven't won a premier league game for almost two months and are still 3rd, says it all really. The worst United and Arsenal team in decades, City dealing with major injuries, a underperforming Chelsea with and inexperienced manager, and Tottenham being the good old Spurs. Liverpool have no competition, pretty boring season at the top.

 

[The Abusement Park]

He was only lying there because of just losing a duel. It is clear that he has no time to get out of the way more than he does. Since he doesn’t affect De Geas ability to make a save, clear goal!

The dude is sitting there for close to 5 seconds and absolutely affects the play.

Since Dec 14th they're 3-3-6 for 12 points in 12 games which is 14th in the PL over that timeframe and is relegation fight pace (Bournemouth, Watford, and West Ham all at 27 in 28 so just under a point a game)

The affect on the play is marginal. De Gea can clearly see the ball and realistically he was not going to save it with the deflection.

I get the law is in place there to avoid people impeding the GK's space, however that shot was always going to go in, Gilfy there or not.

 

[Jack Straw]

Spurs have become Arsenal. Useless.

Credit to Wolverhampton. Not brilliant, but a solid team.

Sad thing is that I liked a lot of what they did today. One of the few games where they were able to clearly win possession, lots of passes connecting. But they consistently fail to hold leads.

I expect better from a team that has one of the best managers in the world along with amazing young defensive depth.

To be fair, there are plenty of ways to affect the game besides blocking eyesight. I haven't seen the play but generally, having a player in front of you as a goalie changes how you play things because you have to account for that player's potential actions

True but he was in a n offside position and was sitting down. There were very limited options in terms of potential actions.

 

[Venkman]

Thought a draw was fair, United were better in the 1st half and Everton better in the 2nd. United were poor in the 2nd, partly tiredness, partly Everton adjusted better. The midfield diamond worked pretty well in the 1st half but not as much in the 2nd. Martial and Greenwood as the wide forwards didn't really work all game.

Maguire was United's best player, numerous headed clearances. Fernandes was good in the 1st half. Matic and Shaw didn't do much wrong. AWB and Fred looked tired, McTom just back from injury.

Thought Lindelof was going to have a good game after his early strong tackle on Richarlison but then he got caught for pace and strength a few times. Mixed game by De Gea, awful mistake but some good saves too. Henderson should be getting chances next season though. Maybe the Cups and Europe.

Why did they bench Vertonghen and Alderwiereld?
