The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Despite the fact he scored, Adebayor was a ridiculous choice to start up front for us today. Kane's on form, Soldado's been offering far more to the team. Lennon should have been brought on sooner.

[Lineker]

3-1 Everton; Eto'o once again. Stick in a fork in it, this one is done.

Fellaini, Mata, Januzaj, Di Maria,

That run of players in particular frightens me. Against a lesser team, yes, but Chelsea and their midfield? We're getting over-run today.

The way Drogba's been this season, starting him means we've effectively got 10 men on the pitch so we'll call it even.

Vintage Soldado with that volley!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Soldado misses volley: "That sums Soldado up".

Kane misses same volley: "Unlucky Kane! Great positioning and strength, unlucky with the finish".

[Jimmy]

1 win in 7 is pathetic. Everything was horrible today, and I think Poch really, really got it wrong. Fuck sake. Credit to Pardew, both his subs did big things. Home losses to West Brom & Newcastle isn't the best.

[TCO]

Soldado's was woeful though, any connection and it shoots past Krul.

[Lineker]

Having not seen the whole match yet, all I can say is

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Adebayor starting was extremely puzzling. Dier looks shattered. Mason vanished. Subs happened too late.

The Chadli/Eriksen/Lamela threesome pushing forward when we're bossing it looks amazing. However it DOES get tight when the opposition drop back and defend.

Dunno what to suggest though. Kyle Walker's return might actually help out that width. Dier is actually starting to look more and more like a centre back filling in at right back. Yedlin could be wonderful though.

It's Drogba at OT. Offsides are switched off.

I'm in a car highly hungover and had been considering a tactical vomit into some paperwork that was handily in my bag, but that result seems to have perked me right up. Just to clarify, I'm not the driver.

Does ANYONE want the Champions League places this season?

I love that this one offside goal (cancelled out by a Macheda handball goal) is somehow legendary with United fans.

Need to see more from Mata, Januzaj and RVP today, especially given our pretty weak bench.

[TCO]

7 left footed players in the United team again, that a record?

[Baddar]

Rafael is totally going walkies today.

[stokeriño]

I liked how Dowd sprayed a massive line for the freekick, and the Chelsea wall just walk off to the side of it.
