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

Villa West Ham is the final game. Could be tasty but Villa have quite a few tough matches before then

This would surely be the best squad to get relegated in the PL era?

How long is Haller out for?

Surely not?

West Ham 02-03 was probably the best squad I can remember going down but that was mostly in light of what they went on to do elsewhere.

Carrick, Defoe, Cole, etc yes but there were three Scott Mintos for every Frederic Kanoute. On paper, the current squad looks very solid from front to back.

fulham last season is surely a good shout for that

That Fulham team was one of the worst defences I can remember watching in the PL though.

Current West Ham side is solid enough but completely devoid of ideas or creativity, even before Moyes.

yeah if they go down - still feel maybe not - it'll be purely because Moyes hasn't got his head around the fact that you need to win sometimes

That's the weird thing. Ogbonna, Diop and Fredericks will probably end up at better clubs than West Ham if they do go down, they're protected by Soucek and Rice, who are both usually excellent, and they've somehow managed to concede more goals than anyone apart from Villa and Norwich.

West Ham have some great, creative players as well - they're just not performing, or not set up to perform.

they maybe had two proper chances against us - at home, mind - on Saturday, and seemed set up to do nothing more than stop us

i feel like Moyes mayn't be the most inspiring presence either

suppose i'm gonna have to track down a stream this evening, fucking BT ffs

Are they that great creatively? Fornals hasn't really adapted to English football yet despite a flash here or there just before the lockdown. Antonio, Snodgrass and Lanzini can all be very good but are also all very injury-prone, same with Yarmolenko, the less said about Wilshere the better. It's not exactly a squad you can rely on.

Yarmolenko, Antonio and Anderson are all good creative players. I think Lanzini and Fornals could do well at another club. The common theme is that the underlying quality is there but none of it actually works in practice on the pitch.

And it's Hi Ho Wolverhampton iirc

Shit, Patricio knocks out Ake after 4 mins

Oh good, we've gotta play a cheating cunt ref as well

First moment of glory from Adama draws the card

Which Ruben makes a balls of

Not much in that first half.

Nah I'd like to think it was game management but we were just off it for the first half hour

just casually watching an ASM masterclass, everyone's favourite player. somehow newcastle haven't scored yet

Get the fuck in

Traore, Jimenez, 1-0

GOAAAAALLLLLLLL

Luckily for West Ham fans Bournemouth are probably worse, but I'm not sure Villa are.

Good win. Yea Neto shoulda buried that but good match!
