Good nasty or bluemoon nasty? Leicester will be 14th by 7.15. Put a hundred quid on
Premier League Gameweek 15
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Arsenal easily beating a team United failed to score against at home. Nothing surprising here
They've always been flat track bullies.
Palace 3-3. I think it's time to start watching their games.
Bournemouth have one back
23 goals in the 5 games today

Sagna has played CB for Arsenal and City in the past...
We scored but failed to beat them
fecking Hull, would've really enjoyed a win for Phelan and a loss for the dancing queen.
Pleased to see that Swansea won though.

Every home team got 3 today. Lucky we werent playing to feck up that stat
Anyone got video of the Sol Bamba incident inthe Cardiff game (I know that's not a prem game)?
Wrong it was one all you peasant.
Our record last couple of years against the big sides has been decent.
I just find it odd when managers try and play full backs at CB. Is he realistically the best option out of what's available?
Off topic: Jaap Stam is doing a pretty good job at reading.......will be a good match with them I reckon.
Sagna always did well when we we're forced to use him as Cb at Arsenal. Sagna was always about defending first most anyways.
Scrappy Doo bothering the ref at Turf Moor. Love his tenacity. Cheeky Xmas bid....?
Almost got it. Just four goals away.that went well
The more I see it the more I see 3 at the back with one of them pushed into midfield cover.
Wait and see I suppose
Very good in the air too Sagna.
Ah yes I was thinking of Burnley. 1-1 is our MO these days
We're probably reading the team sheet upside down knowing Guardiola. Bravo's up front.
Great win for us after going a goal down. Ignoring some of the above posts we have actually struggled to get wins at home this season, it's away where our form has been strongest. Thought it was going to be another draw after the first, but now we're top of the league!
And @Klopper76 - Sagna really is a good centre back, always played well there for us, and probably should have done it more. Convinced he would have been a better option there than Kolarov for them so far this season.

I think City will get at least a point here.
I think City will beat them quite comfortably.....
Fair enough. I didn't even realise he'd played at CB that much tbh. I'm expecting a defensive masterclass from him now.
Nasty....
Comments like this make me laugh.
Sagna is actually a pretty good CB
Well I guess everyone is winning in top 4 this week end. Easy games only.
Its okay Leicester will
Probably better than Kolarov, for sure. Pretty short for a CB and doesn’t have the power, jump and reading of the game like other short ones; Cannavaro and likes.
We also dominated the Arsenal match or did you forget that too?
Leicester to go down this season.
I wonder if we should start crossing more towards the first post. I just watched the goals from the Arsenal game, and Walcott's goal is not something we see United score that often.
Sagna Stones CB pairing. Jesus.
I think we do this quite a lot but there is never a runner there. It boggles my mind when the striker can see that the winger is struggling to create space for the cross and will only get the ball to the front post, yet doesn't make the run. Zlatan is lazy in this respect. There's only Hernandez that consistenly made these runs for us.
We fell out and ultimately lost the title last year because we couldn't take care or score against smaller teams at home lol.
What we should do first is that when the ball goes into a crossing position, at least 2 players get into the box, maybe 3, one at each post, one of at the penalty spot, and a 4th one in support outside of the box. As long as you don't do that, defending against that is too easy.
Once you have those calls for the ball, you can cross either way, first post, second post, penalty spot, back...
One of the finest players Premiership ever seen.
