Lads, it's the Premier League thread - EPL 2019/20

Re yesterdays game I wonder at what point in the season pundits will admit that kante is playing in exactly the same position as last season and give Lampard the level of stick they gave Sarri for 'wasting the best DM in the league'.

Also sick of the narrative that Burnley's season last year was severely hampered by the Europa league when they had already been knocked out before September FFS.

Europa League games have probably been better than pre-season friendlies for us tbh

Utd getting the ball into Lingard p easily so far.

yep, wolves are a canny bunch alright

Daniel James not v good at diving on tonight's evidence.

XP lol

Blimey

Some finish that tbf

martial arts

good finish, Bennett not long for this first team tho i reckon

James is way out of his depth

doesn't make sense as anything other than a bench option for now

I assume wolves aren't generally this poor in possession.

God help me but pogba/mctominey/Lingard with rashford dropping in is looking quite an effective midfield right now.

we totally have spells in games with this kind of wayward passing, we look spread a bit thin and trying too hard atm

Only one and a bit games but pogba as deep midfielder is alright now that Utd actually play about ten or fifteen yards further up the pitch than in the Mourinho era.

Helps not to have Valencia/young/darmian on the right side of the back line as well of course.

Bennett not long for this first team tho i reckon

well we tend to be better second half, couldn't be much worse

AWB is single-handedly keeping the slide tackle alive

Traore on for Doherty is an open invitation for Rashford this half

Lingaaaaaard

Aah fuck

Beauty

Magnificent.

Please don't get ruled out

Noooo VAR.

Just cancel football if this is ruled out

Thank christ

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS

my fucking stream's about 3 minutes slow now

pretty silly to leave him unmarked like that

Nevessssssssss

Even the vague spectre of that getting ruled out should see every VAR room in the world getting stormed by pitchfork wielding mobs

Sloppy as fuck at a time Utd were shook.

Whoa

lol

So he doesn't do the stutter step thing any more?

Surprised they're not Varing whether the player who headed it clear had encroached.

Patricioooooo

Patricio you ledge

you should really let someone keep taking penalties until they miss one

but that was a great save tbf

Or in aguero's case let him miss as many as he likes.

P good game that.

Solskjaer's in-game management is shocking

takes forever to react and invariably makes the wrong sub

good second half, not just cos we turned up

Ill take it

if United had scored from that Bennett fuck-up just before half time or Lingard's comedy scuff just afterwards i'm pretty sure we'd've got nothing

we REALLY needed to buy a creative #10 this summer

Lingard and Mata are both pointless

Why did Pogba take the penalty? He's shit at them.

It was a bad peno rather than a great save. Too close to the keeper and a nice height for him.

Rashford gave him the penalty it looked like

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
