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

The Pieters and Kante non-penalties are bizarre to me.

Man, football is a slog recently

is anyone actually enjoying watching their team lately? Feels like West Ham are the only team playing well, Man City's success being a tiresome illegitimate fantasy as it is

I wouldn't bet against Villa cheering Wolves up later cos we've got noooothing at the moment

Have you seen how lacklustre we are tho?

Tbh our form improved when I missed a couple of games, and mostly I cannot be arsed at the moment

I mean yeah I wouldn't have bet against a mega-dull 0-0 of it wasn't for how superlatively inept the villa were against Sheff Utd

xp ah youre the eric dier of wolves fans then

Wolves this year has been a slog to watch, esp since Jimenez went down. but sports give me something to look forward to so I "enjoy" it in that extent.

i've only been following the team two years so harder for me to be disappointed I guess, lol.

they remind me my local team (Orlando City) - two years ago. team could barely find goals, they were all unconventional weird goals, and they'd find it difficult to beat anybody, even bottom feeders.

are we thinking Semedo is a bust at this point?

I think if you look at Doherty at Spurs Semedo is a step up, and looks the kind of player that will improve when the team around him improves

No you know what, I hold my hands up, that was a great watch

I for one am shocked

Liverpool doing an excellent impersonation of Spurs against Fulham.

Cannot believe how good we made liverpool look

Even losing to the London teams now

If anything, this dreadful run shows how much we Kopites are part of the team and not having us affects everything. By contrast, look at West Ham, flying without the lingering threat of fan protests/apathy which have suffocated them in seasons past. Coincidence? Think not

Danny, Liverpool

proper big club energy, you love to see it

I broadly don't think they should have Carragher commentating on Liverpool matches but him solemnly dubbing them "mentality midgets" just now was good TV

heartbreaking if Newcastle can't get relegated from here

Not watching, whats with 8 mins added?

standard ref cheating i think

He added on two extra minutes despite the only delay in added time being a Fulham free kick for a cynical Keita foul on halfway when they were in on the counter

It was noted wasteman Kevin Friend

the law states that injury time counts double if the big boys are losing tbf

Cunts

best player in the league

An alright start, at least more energy and movement than has been the case lately

Great from Lucas.

Yeah, so easy to foul there

Son doing nothing for all of reguilons running.

Sky commentators loving these free kick options

Kane and bale

Ffs

I hate this team with a passion.

In absolute control until they unaccountably decide to not be.

Cant believe how theyve decided to stop playing here.

Went from nice tempo to panicking and hacking the ball away

Sanchez for the goal is incredible. Ambles away from benteke just as a cross is coming in.

Incredible

Ok, I love them again.

If they didnt come out and do this the season was legit over

This is nothing like the dreary one nils to one alls that had been killing us, we were far far better that first 35 mins than weve been for months

If we'd just let that go because of ten bad mins then tbh the whole squad really did need scrapping and start again

What a ball bale

Insane that after going back in front the next incident was sanchez getting very lucky in winning a free kick that looked much more like he had just gifted zaha the ball for no reason, the margins from fine to disaster are these moments that are unforgiveable

How the two or three problem players arent absolutely getting killed in training is beyond me.

All it would take is aurier/doherty/sanchez getting three or four simple instructions and hojbjerg/alderweireld authority to enforce physically in-game and we'd have a fucking team here

when you're dancing, and laughing, and finally living,

To think we can add sessegnon and skipp for davies and winks next season for free is a heady enough thought tbh

Hugo ffs i couldve driven to get that you haunted cunt

Id say sanchez couldnt get on a bus without getting in someone's way, just a really awkward indecisive presence around others

Offside or handball or what

Nope

Souness going in so hard on bale after this match that im actually googling to make sure he is still white

This is possibly the perfect Leeds performance in the first half - having a goal ruled out for being 2mm offside and then immediately conceding two due to catastrophic defending.

Wilder gone

game's gone sensible!

I reckon the letter's dated 15 November and it got lost in the post

carrying that downward momentum from a disastrous Prem season into the Championship with the same manager rarely seems a good idea. Although Norwich seem to have bucked that trend in good style this season, but the manager didn't fall out with the owners and lose the dressing room.

The owners seem to have had a huge amount of patience with him. aiui, they tried to introduce a new DOF position after Wilder spent £90m on Brewster, Berger, McBurnie, Ramsdale and Mousset, and he objected.

Sheffield United have not sacked Chris Wilder, sources indicate. Clearly a fast-moving situation & may change soon, but as things stand he remains a SUFC employee. More @TeleFootball

‘Dwight McNeil golazo’ is something I hadn’t anticipated needing to type.

Burnley are killing Everton.

this is a glorious mullering
