The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

[Liam]

Villa starting to push a bit now.

[Ant]

Bacuna will go off now I reckon. Tonev on.

We need to do a hell of a lot better though. O don't buy this tiredness crap that's bounding about on my timeline.

[Nerf]

20 Goals!

[Hobo]

Toure is lovely.

And too right. If a team is struggling to play Saturday/Wednesday/Saturday they shouldn't be in the Premier League. Villa just need to get going. They've played two games where they've played away and been huge underdogs and performed well. It's almost like they don't know how to play this one. I was hoping after two impressive away displays we'd have a really close match on our hands as that want to show this kind of performance to the home fans.

[Nerf]

Yeah, the form he's been in during pre-season and these early games, I'm starting to wonder whether we do need another CB.

Also I like that he's always "Kololol," rain or shine.

[EddieG]

Kolo's good, but he makes me nervous in our own penalty box.

[MJB]

Great decision there, despite what Alan Smith thinks, Guzan certainly got something on that.

[Ant]

We deserved to lose. Awful performance.

[Nerf]

He didn't touch the ball at all. Doesn't really matter either way now though.

Liverpool grinding out wins when they're not playing well... what is this bizarro world?

[Summers]

Second half was fine tbh. Just couldn't break down the 6 at the back for Liverpool. 3 points from those 3 games is good. Can kick on. We're playing well.

Okore looks the business.

[Ant]

Apart from the 2 Benteke chances we didnt create anything. Okore looks awesome but Vlaar needs to be dropped. He has the maneuverability of a 90 year old. Baker and Okore at the back for me.

Rotherham, Newcastle and Norwich next up. Should win all 3.

[Summers]

Vlaar has done fine too. I think he and Okore are going to make a good partnership. Shame for Baker, whom I rate highly, but a pairing of him and Okore is too young.

Delph was pure class again. He's really found his ability.

As for chances, Gabby smashed one wide and Andi has one deflected over. That's just adding to the Benteke ones. 17 attempts in fact.

[Ant]

Yeah it's amazing he was one of the few Mcleish was going to sell before he got injured. Come on leaps and bounds.

Where do you think we will end up Summ? I think 10th.

[Berober]

Yeah, I'm not too worried after today. We didn't do well in the first half, but we weren't awful I'd say. Okore was great, and Delph was good and we get a bit of a break now so hopefully we can look back over this week and see what is working and what isn't,

[Summers]

Could be anywhere. Played well against three of the better sides in the league, need to see how we do against those similar to us and worse. Anywhere from 12th up and I'd be happy.

He did touch the ball. Sturridge gets there first, gets his toe on the ball and Guzan gets half a hand to it to push it off to the side.

[Khain]

I'd take a 1-0 next week too...

Haaaave you met Nerf?

[Ant]

Actually thinking about it..we have two more points than i thought we would have at this stage so i'm quietly optimistic. We need a new AMC though.
