Isn't that how he first came to prominence? Then when he started starting oh yeah, he... runs quite well? That's it, that's all he does

Wolves not the team to watch this season if you're looking for goals and excitement.
― Are You Still in Love With Me, Klas-Göran? (Tom D.), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:13 (two years ago) link
he had a good season in 2019-2020. scored the winners in both wins against Manchester City, which made him kind of a hero.
last year, he came down to earth a bit.

I want to walk back my criticism a bit, I think he might be immense under a good coach like say Klopp. But so far in his career just a waste
― One-Eyed and Incredibly Mearns (Jonathan Hellion Mumble), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:19 (two years ago) link
RAUL!!!!!
― Gardyloominati (Neanderthal), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:20 (two years ago) link
FUCK YES
― Gardyloominati (Neanderthal), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:21 (two years ago) link
well fuck me, season starts here
― One-Eyed and Incredibly Mearns (Jonathan Hellion Mumble), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:21 (two years ago) link
that was classic Raul. glad to see that again
― Gardyloominati (Neanderthal), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:22 (two years ago) link
Genuinely happy for him, that was great
― One-Eyed and Incredibly Mearns (Jonathan Hellion Mumble), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:22 (two years ago) link
lead won't last long the way Wolves are defending
― Gardyloominati (Neanderthal), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:23 (two years ago) link
Ach, I'm raising a glass of clear spirits for NV while it lasts
― One-Eyed and Incredibly Mearns (Jonathan Hellion Mumble), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:24 (two years ago) link
Podence off, thank god
― Gardyloominati (Neanderthal), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:29 (two years ago) link
I loved him last season. This season so far, eh

i've been reading about this. the EPL is on the lower scoring end of all the leagues. they're not the lowest, but for whatever reason, there aren't a lot of goals.
i don't know when this article is from, but they gathered some stats here:
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1922780-statistically-ranking-the-worlds-top-10-football-leagues
would people be interested in a "what's your favourite football league" poll? it seems like there are a lot of EPL fans on here, but it would still be kind of fun to see what the results are
i just finished watching the AZ-GAE match and the final score was 5-0
― Punster McPunisher, Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:32 (two years ago) link
haven't watched, if the score stays like this i might have to not watch us for the rest of the season

Fucking robbery if it stays this scoreline tbh
― One-Eyed and Incredibly Mearns (Jonathan Hellion Mumble), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:34 (two years ago) link
Jose Sa has had a good game
― Gardyloominati (Neanderthal), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:36 (two years ago) link
Definitely
― One-Eyed and Incredibly Mearns (Jonathan Hellion Mumble), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:37 (two years ago) link
sometimes you need to shithouse a win
― look on my guacs, ye mighty, and dis pear (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:38 (two years ago) link
Not been that shithousey? just a dull match that Soto deserved to edge
― One-Eyed and Incredibly Mearns (Jonathan Hellion Mumble), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:40 (two years ago) link
The Dutch league's always been high scoring. Goals are no guarantee of entertainment... or quality.
― Are You Still in Love With Me, Klas-Göran? (Tom D.), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:50 (two years ago) link
Raul motm? dunno about that. Basically they looked poorer than those 0pt matchs earlier, but yeah that goal deserves All The Plaudits
― One-Eyed and Incredibly Mearns (Jonathan Hellion Mumble), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:52 (two years ago) link
yeah hard to say "ship is righted" when your opponent fires off 18 shots (13 on target) at you and just bottle the finishing
― Gardyloominati (Neanderthal), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:54 (two years ago) link
victory! of sorts. i'll take it.
― Gardyloominati (Neanderthal), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:57 (two years ago) link
hopefully a bit of confidence for players and manager, a boost for Raul, another week to work on the issues. reading about the game and listening to the last 20 minutes is worrying when we were playing so well a few weeks back
― look on my guacs, ye mighty, and dis pear (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 26 September 2021 14:57 (two years ago) link
Yeah Raul scoring I assume is the main factor, hopefully the first of many

ESR makes old school arsenal runs, he finds that place in the 6 yard box, so needed in this team
― Swanswans, Sunday, 26 September 2021 15:44 (two years ago) link
Spurs’ midfield looks adrift. No strategy going forward, no ability to stop Arsenal when they attack.

that's true. maybe if you add higher possession in the last third, that may make it more entertaining
― Punster McPunisher, Sunday, 26 September 2021 15:53 (two years ago) link
I've got my window open, I'm guessing Arsenal are 2-0 up?
― Are You Still in Love With Me, Klas-Göran? (Tom D.), Sunday, 26 September 2021 15:58 (two years ago) link
Yep.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 26 September 2021 15:59 (two years ago) link
Indeed.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:00 (two years ago) link
Arsenal crowd isn't usually that loud tbh.
― Are You Still in Love With Me, Klas-Göran? (Tom D.), Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:01 (two years ago) link
lovely interplay between aubamayang and ESR, Smith Rowe adds a directness with his unselfish, clever movement
― Swanswans, Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:01 (two years ago) link
3-0?
― Are You Still in Love With Me, Klas-Göran? (Tom D.), Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:04 (two years ago) link
Yes, shocking performance.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:04 (two years ago) link
Dearie me.
Could end up six or seven.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:05 (two years ago) link
that was a great goal by saka
― Punster McPunisher, Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:05 (two years ago) link
Yeah, good goal.
They might as well be playing the under 18s.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:06 (two years ago) link
This is getting ridiculous
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:07 (two years ago) link
lol, kane crucial in the build up play there, drops like a sack of spuds for the initial error and then manages a sliding tackle that somehow avoids the ball completely, allowing saka clean through..it was a good looking tackle, zero contact with anything useful, but it looked good, thanks 'arry
― Swanswans, Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:09 (two years ago) link
all show and no go, lol. sorry.
― Punster McPunisher, Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:10 (two years ago) link
The amount of space Arsenal have on the wings is unbelievable. It’s like Spurs are playing without fullbacks.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:14 (two years ago) link
Nuno now 19/10 favourite to be the first manager sacked.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:18 (two years ago) link
Jose also 2-0 down after twenty minutes in a derby at the moment tbf.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:22 (two years ago) link
love that arteta has accommodated ESR and Saka, in a workable team, finally...for ones so young, they have literally years of experience playing together, coming through the academy at arsenal, that understanding is priceless for a coherent attack, at this level, we are decisive and threatening
― Swanswans, Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:23 (two years ago) link
glad to see Smith Rowe has finally scored in the PL
― calzino, Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:38 (two years ago) link
Four?
― Are You Still in Love With Me, Klas-Göran? (Tom D.), Sunday, 26 September 2021 16:41 (two years ago) link
no he scored the first goal
