Premier League 2016/17

God damn, Bravo needs to sort his shit out. We were pretty lucky to escape with the victory there. KDB is class as always, and Stones & Otamendi played well too. 

But if today taught me anything, it's that I miss Joe Hart.

[Nerf]

Because Joe Hart has definitely never, ever had a bad game.

Eh, cracking game to be fair. First half cost us massively. Players on both sides looked absolutely knackered. Probably doesn't help having an early Saturday kick off when some players only got back in the country in the early hours of Friday.

But another 90 minutes of Wayne Rooney contributing absolutely nothing. At this point, I'm convinced it's written into his contract that he plays every game.

Realistically, this game should tell Jose that Lingard, Blind and Rooney don't feature in our best 11. Fellaini did alright again but, aside from his aerial presence, I'm not sure what he offers that Schneiderlein doesn't do better.

I got shit for jumping on Lingard last season but it's typical of him. The odd flash of brilliance and the fact he's a local lad seems to give him a free pass with a lot of fans. He was awful for a lot of last season.

Koscielny has just scored a goal that Ibrahimovic would be proud of.

Amazing goal.

It was also an Ander Herrera shirt from last year's Champions League that he clearly swapped for after playing them.

Absolute scenes as man wears cool souvenir as leisure wear!

What is this "scenes" thing that people say these days?  Am I too old to understand it?  I see it on Twitter and Facebook, I would genuinely like to know!

Oh my. Payet with an absolutely exquisite Rabona-style cross for Antonio to tap in with his head. That was glorious.

No Lamela though.

[Szumi]

James Collins has put Watford level with a deflection on Ighalo's shot going in (not really his fault, to be fair) and then Deeney scores on a great chip after Collins' error causes panic. Not quite sure how old Redwood gets in the team ahead of Ogbonna or Tomkins (West Ham shouldn't have sold him)

[MDK]

West Ham

Standard Charlie Adam second half sub appearance. Time to take off two players we don't want shanked.

 

Lush second half so far. All Spurs, Stoke have totally capitulated.

.....Yep Kane off after scoring. Good sub.

[Szumi]

Oof, Southampton hard done by. Arsenal pick up the win on a late 'penalty'

[Lineker]

Nice new stand at Anfield.

[DavidMarrio]

Gonna have to get used to this super high camera angle whenever we are on TV at home.

I don't like it

Thought I was imagining it. Is the camera on the side of the new stand, then?

[Lineker]

Good goal Firmino.

Yeh it's always been on the main stand side. I'm trying to figure out where the hell the camera is now 

Cracking finish by Firmino. 

[Baddar]

Very good move and a great save from Schmeichel. 

[Lineker]

2-0; Mane.

[DavidMarrio]

I know it's only been 4 games but Mane has been an excellent buy. We have actual pace now out wide and that combining with a playmaker like Coutinho/Firmino and a striker like Sturridge gives us an exciting attack.  

[Szumi]

Sturridge looking great so far. He played a huge role in that first goal, great set up on the second. Worst part of his play has been finishing, ironically enough. His support play has been fantastic.
