Premier League 2022/23

[Baddar]

That's a massive 3pts. Had to dig in. Some poor finishing and we need to be better in the final 3rd.

We should win Tuesday night against Bournemouth so it should cushion the blow of losing 0-5 against City on the 14th.

Think you'll find the best right back in England and the universe had a very good game defensively and was quite rubbish attacking yesterday. It was his counterpart - the best left back in England who was shocking defensively. 

 

I didn't watch it, was a safe assumption he'd have been shite one end or the other.

He is an awful player like. Hasn't done anything in football whatsoever.

Well congrats to Leeds on getting out of there with a point. Newcastle had every opportunity and capitalized on none.

[King Ellis]

A nothing game but you can't really complain at going away to SJP and coming away with a point, especially with the form that Newcastle have been in and the favourable results for us amongst the other relegation candidates today. Next month or two is pretty massive since we're playing a bunch of them so hopefully we hit some form and establish a bit of a gap.

[Colly]

Really even (and shit) game, I thought Leeds edged it chancewise at least for the first hour. Off days for Trippier and particularly Bruno really impact us while we persist with Burn at left back as we're too one dimensional.

To the Leeds fans, is there a reason why every goal kick is an identical hoof to Struijk on the left? I think the best it ever achieved was a single throw in to you, which seemed to be followed by ironic applause. Every other one just went straight out for our throw. Bizarre.

Demarai Grey scored an absolute screamer as Everton do the most Everton thing and get a point away against City

Yes, Jesse Marsch has the tactical nous of a gerbil.

 

I'm surprised you thought it was even, I'm struggling to remember anything even remotely resembling a chance. On the other hand, we're so fucked when we inevitably sell Meslier for a Mars bar and a can of cherry coke.

Just to chime in with xG, it was 2.79 to 0.52 in favor of Newcastle. Which feels accurate to the match I saw - Newcastle controlled the run of play for the most part and had a number of open chances that they just sailed wide, over, or right at the keeper.

[Colly]

It felt like we controlled possession, but none of those chances felt particularly clean cut until late on and Leeds looked dangerous on the break. I really can't remember Meslier making a save of note, while Pope made one cracker and was scrambling a few times. The big flaw with xG remains the fact all it really measures is the position of opportunities, and Joelinton and Longstaff on their weaker feet will have contributed to that score despite being half chances at best.

Can I unclench now

[Adam]

That is quite the gap behind Arsenal now at the head of the table.

[Lineker]

I'm gradually coming to terms with the upcoming Kaney unsufferableness.

[stokeriño]

Gonna keep distracting myself with the fake goal of Chelsea being "only 19 points behind Arsenal~!", because concentrating on an irrelevant measuring stick is less painful than looking at how 4th place becomes more difficult each week.

[DavidMarrio]

Clearly this is a Pep/Arteta bung situation of doing a favour for a mate

Come now, after how many years missing St Totteringhams day you wouldn't begrudge me one, little, teeny premier league title would you?

We are really, really bad.

Post-match interviews could be fun, assuming Conte doesn't just get in his car and drive off, throwing the key to the dressing room out of the window as he does.

[Cymbols]

Great result and performance that. Once again leaves me wondering what the fuck Steven Gerrard was doing with this squad.

[Lineker]

So bad. Why on Earth would Conte want to continue with this circus beyond this season.
