Premier League 2020/21

Leeds are an exciting team.

A couple of players lacking in fitness like today and our depth is fucking shocking.

It's really hard to comprehend that these two teams were in the same division last year. Fulham are woeful.

This is an easier post to make at 4-3 than at 4-1 when you posted it, but I think 'woeful' was a bit harsh. For the most part, we were competitive and pressed high in a way that was giving Leeds problems in an even enough first half. However, Leeds took every chance they had. They were clinical as much as we were poor when the defense actually had to do something.

Naturally, a team will sit back when they've gone up, but we had a decent whack of possession and more shots on target. We didn't deserve to get done over 4-1, so I was glad that we at least pulled ourselves back into the game and showed some fight, something we didn't two years ago.

I'd not expected us to pick up points against Arsenal, was hopeful for a point against Leeds at best (though people reckon they'll be significantly higher up the table than us, so they aren't are direct competitors), but the games we perhaps should be looking to win in all reality starts next week with Villa. They are more likely to be down around us than Arsenal or Leeds if the latter live up to expectations, so a three points against them becomes a lot more important.

My thoughts when I was posting was more to do with the defending, particularly the marking, which has been a recurring theme of both games I've seen. To get back to 4-3 showed great heart though, which is more than a lot of teams do.

I'm probably also annoyed I took Mitrovic out of my FL team after he didn't start last week.

Newly promoted sides conceding 12 goals between them today - so much for defending!

[FestiveJack]

Well we've started well.

[Benjamin]

What a chance for Greenwood. Just wide.

[Chris2K]

Genuinely one of the worst penalty decisions I've ever seen. The only good thing is it's really upset Gary Neville.

 

Good lord, this is laughable.

[Benjamin]

What in the fuck is Jordan Ayew doing?

AHAHAHHAHA THERE'S GOING TO BE A RETAKE WHAT IS HAPPENING

[Gazz]

This is a shambles.

[Chris2K]

Wasn't on his line then either. RETAKE IT AGAIN!

 

[FestiveJack]

That was never a penalty. Utterly ridiculous.

[9 to 5]

Ole out.

[Baddar]

Dodgy goal for them or not, Palace deserve to win this so I'm glad it hasn't gone to that decision as if we were hard done by. We deserve to come away with nothing.

[DavidMarrio]

Maguire and Lindelof are really just a more expensive version of Jones and Smalling 

[Tigerstyle]

Good game for United

[FestiveJack]

Martin Atkinson is a fucking joke.

[gunnar hendershow]

Not as much fun when the dodgy penalties get called against you.

Bit of a difference between a soft penalty and an utterly ridiculous misapplication of the laws.
