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

.....feel like we will do the job today....?

Ah well

Lloris is a complete negative now isnt he.

Its getting to the end of the poch era here- results and performances are rotten but nothing you could say that could be done re formation or selection because the players are performing shit no matter who is picked and how they are set up

"Stopped playing for the manager" is a function of the manager but its awful hard to pretend to like the cunts wearing the shirt after the third iteration

Very hard to believe how often we pass it to a man under pressure as opposed to a better option that isnt

Mourinho shithousing the ref

But also completely correctly, west ham are wiping us out at every opportunity without consequence (including in the goal buildup)

Not sure they’re going to end with 11 on the pitch with this ref.

Spurs now have three bookings in three tackles and tbh this type of "youll never see this reviewed on MOTD" game management by refs is the #1 thing turning me off the game

But tbh discussing the ref or the manager/tactics/selection are secondary matter when at every clearance, bounce, rebound theres three claret jerseys to it before one white one

another showing of cowardly jogging cunts

jesus christ tonight strike me down

An absolute joke.

Sanchez and Dier special

Son just dawdling on the ball there and nearly letting West Ham in again.

The lack of anyone on the pitch who will take matters up with a ref like this or their own teammates is underlined again and again as a huge problem

Once poch lost his interest in being the personality of the entire team weve been slowly reverting to this

good man lucas

Alan smith claims you dont associate lucas with headers, lucas is a better aerial player than all but three of this squad but look who cares alan eh

Two decent centre halves and one ok manager and we'd be ok, i think

Not good but ok like

Lloris almost spilling a nothing into the churn again there

Laying it off for dier or son wonderstrikes is not it you clowns

If we score here we'll concede before final whistle

Lloris facepaint rednose chickenshit

West Ham, four shots, four on target. Spurs, nineteen shots, four on target.

Youd need to watch the ninety minutes to see how easily West ham pushed through us to get those chances, tho

And how many of ours were our best players drawn out and eventually laying up nothing shots from (as noted upthread) dier or reguilon or lucas

An awful defensive performance against (again) a team that knew that breaking against us four times would lead to four good chances

Lloris is long past dropping, dier is not a centre back and sanchez is in terrible doldrums playing alongside him

Mourinho deserves sacking for repeating the above alone, and that's not to blame him for the rest of it

ILX needs a Hammers fan to play villain tbh

We need a villan who gets hammered

Ah well at least it's over

Mourinho will or wont see the season out?

Thinking not, despite it not mattering who manages these cunts who need a manager to make them try

Quite the game for Man Utd rejects, on the field and off it.

wait did somebody call me?

Ah tbf you turned down the man u gig i thought?

they wouldn't agree to my demand to play Pogba in goal

If pogba had played in goal for France i wouldnt need to keep hearing how the knockkneed piss-the-gloves we currently look to for leadership won a world cup

can a stadium be both soulless and poisonous? probably not but i have a half baked theory that this was west hams reality at the london stadium and as such they are perfectly suited to pandemic football in that all the stadiums are rendered anemic and soulless which they are already acclimatized to, plus the added benefit of no poisonous fans. either that or moyes knows what he is doing. okay maybe quarter baked theory rather than half.

Strong ‘Klopp’s last season at Dortmund’ vibes at the moment.

happily take 7th and a cup final(given that CL is the only cup lfc are still in) like his last season at dortmund tbf.

Mourinho comments after game are the beginning of the end

Face Holding Update: Tierney Holds Face

He's always been a bit of a thespian tbh.

yerman with some end product

absolutely pathetic performance from Ole's boys

Martial is an utter irrelevance this season

^^^don't comment until full-time imo, with MUFC this season

pathetic and effective doing a strange tango

Not watching can someone tell me about the mandatory penalty

It was manufactured, but it was a penalty...just

yeh did qualify as pen this time

I can dig that, I aint here to tell anyone Kane doesn't do it

Wonderful finish from Mateta.

Oh yes

lol I don't feel so bad about the tight penny-pinching knacka that runs my club now.

Oh a beauty

Ben-tekkers

Ridiculously good saving tackle from Romeu.

lee mason has killed var. congrats

This is one of the biggest fuck-ups i've ever seen in professional football.

As far as i can tell, that was only ruled out because Mason blew the whistle for absolutely no reason while the ball was going in.
