Premier League Matchday 2 August 19-21

[jungledrums]

There is a large number of folks here who kept preaching that Guardiola is supposed to be an unproven coach who only had success with teams which could be coached by the greenkeeper and still win silverware.
Since people hate to be proven wrong, they tend to look for reasons that don't collide with their view, i.e. *crap opposition*, *horrible refs*, but *he'll be shown off soon enough*, for sure.
He might lose occasional points here and there due to his squad adapting, but the notion that he would be exposed as a fraud in the PL was ridiculous back then as it is now.

I don't think the consensus was that he'd be exposed as a fraud, just that he would face comfortably his biggest test at City. Just because he won a shite 4-1, doesn't mean he's gonna breeze the premier league.

How is the lesbian rated by Scouse fans?

Who is the lesbian?

Just switched on the Chelsea game to see Kante make 3 consecutive tackles. No change there then.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Who is playing alongside Henderson?

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

The BT Sport score thing by the way has been shite.

Their vidiprinter thing has claimed two goals already this afternoon that haven't actually happened.

Started very well. Great movement off the ball.

 

[Shane88]

Keep giving Coutinho ten yards of space outside your box, Burnley.

That'll end well.

He still running like a madman?

 

[DWelbz19]

I haven't seen Gray play. Does he look like he can succeed in PL?

I think so. Looked dangerous in their first game too.

 

[panz]

Watford vs Chelsea is lively. Both teams playing with pace and intent, very physical game so far.

Conte and Mazzarri animated on the touchline as a bonus.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Think Dwight Gayle might get a few goals for Newcastle.

 

[129104946]

Ivanovic is terrible. Might be one of the worst RBs in the league.

 

[LuisNaniencia]

Stoke didn't do this for City last season. They played City off the park. This is a better City and maybe Stoke are playing more to the level most of you expect.

Teams tend to fall apart against city and get battered.

Word.
We are snubs at everything in this country.

 

[Enigma_87]

Watford almost took the lead. Chelsea a bit lucky there.

Pouring out there.

 

[MDFC Manager]

feck. Watford should have scored there

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Ivanovic is terrible. Might be one of the worst RBs in the league.

It's amazing that he's still playing.

 

[129104946]

It's amazing that he's still playing.

Fine with me though. Chelsea is a poor side if he plays.

[JustinC00]

Well guess it proves it wasn't just Jose with Hiddink and now Conte playing him

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Fine with me though. Chelsea is a poor side if he plays.

Agreed.

That's the press culture for you.

Build them up, up, up and knock them down.

 

[Shark]

Liverpool are doing absolutely nothing. Dreadful.

 

[Jippy]

Sweet. Nice finish.

Our passing is so sloppy today.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Burnley are very well organised but terrible on the ball.

 

[Klopper76]

It's like we don't practice corners in training at all.

Haha, Lapool having a mare.

 

[marlowe78]

Yeah, he does look good.

 

[JinnerJamie]

2-0 Burnley!!!

 

[mu4c_20le]

Hahahh liverpool

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Burnley are very well organised but terrible on the ball.

Thank you!

 

[Parry Gallister]

I think Liverpool dropping points here is literally impossible. Like it just cannot happen. Burnley simply haven't got it in them...

WTF
It's 2

 

[Guy Incognito]

People actually thought they would easily get into the top four.

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

 

[Bwuk]

Don't worry lads, they've got Klopp...

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Get in!
