Alone in the Park - it's the Prem 2020-21 thread

meh. better in the second half but Leicester did too well to disrupt any real chances, other than that solid Neves strike which got parried away.

lost to a dubious penalty, team performances getting better game on game imo, not too despondent. Never strike was a peach

Neves strike, even

still in an ok place in the table yea

Liverpool playing four up front is working well.

Was working well.

So many bad penalties this weekend.

dare i say bergkampesque

A bumper weekend for VAR decisions which are correct in an unbelievably tedious way

That escalated quickly.

Ah,

Can we have an upcoming international break where Grealish can expect to play no meaningful part every week?

Aubameyang didn't have a shot

so, how good a manager is dean smith

tbh I think he is a good example of just wanting it more

Villa Brighton had been a liiiitle bit frustrating so far

Fair play to Danny Welbeck for being out there scoring classy dinked finishes in 2020 though

Michael Oliver having one of his special days again.

Perfect that he overturned his own correct decision

Fucking clown

Brighton deserved to win though, Villa were over-aggressive and sloppy

Not convinced we have much to work with outside of the same 12 players that featured in every match before today, so if Barkley's out for a long time that could be pretty depressing

Said in the expectation that they will come back and win but City do not appear to have a clue how to defend against Spurs atm.

One on one defending from spurs has been super, the kind of think poch seemed to leave to the players to get right but mourinho has been in faces about

Ideally quality of decision in attack picks up a bit cos this has two goals either way left in it

What's deems doing in the wolves thread

A fabulous performance.

var just means refs making terrible decisions slowly rather than quickly.

var just means refs believe in the big club story slowly

That villa penalty var decision was right tho

i haven't watched it yet tbf i'm just a angry small club mentality

Not sure any of the vars were wrong today but even a correct var call feels wrong somehow

the history of var basically

technically correct

sometimes

Football should be a role playing game

maybe it's just me

but

how is mourinho good again

was it just that at united he didn't have the players he needed

Fulham - Everton is a battle of absolutely terrible defences. Calvert-Lewin is going to get five tap-ins.

Scrap the Championship playoff to prevent a team this bad accidentally being promoted again.

^^^this is landlord talk

mind you those spawny croydon gits have made good for 7 years and counting off the back of their playoff win, maybe you'd have a point

on the other hand, those chippy villans wouldn't be quite so chippy

oh fuck tho, west ham

you're right

omg give Fulham a penalty every game.

Fauxball in all its glory.

Seems a million years ago that Everton looked like top six contenders.

only just seen the spurs game. ederson was terrible for both goals. hojberg is a lot better than i thought. sheff utd taking ipswich as their inspiration this season.

leeds must have the worst chance conversion ratio of any team in prem history

Yep, though Arsenal are poor enough to allow them the 22 they require to stick one away.

spurs go top of the league and SV is just out here taking all the names

"this disappointing league is full of garbage. sickening"

lmao

alioski definitely wasn't remotely hurt by that tho. wd give him a yellow for simulation as well as the red for pepe

actually i'd have given a yellow to both but that's my controversial stance

lamela/martial all over again

If you’re going to get a three match ban anyway, you might as well nut him properly.
