Premier League Game week 5
- Thread starter Oga on top.
- Start date
Did we regularly concede that many shots per game in those days?
Seemed like it! Probably not quite up to 31 though! That is amazing. Bottom of the league Watford and all!
That last 15 minutes was the best 15 minutes of PL football I’ve seen for a while. Possession must have been 90% Watford and they moved the ball side to side and probed really well and can count themselves unlucky not to have taken all three points. Cleverley had a good game and could quite easily have bagged himself a hatrick, he seemed to be playing much further forward.
We’ll probably add two to the total.
Honestly, the only consistent attacking pattern we've played under Emery is getting the ball to the full back who crosses it in.
I joked earlier that he's a defensive manager who can't defend but it's not far off the truth. Last season we were regularly outshot playing away at worse teams and even when we did score it was more down to our attacking players' individual quality than any practiced attacking moves. The first goal we scored today was a perfect example of that.
With the attacking players we have we should be far better going forward than we are now and I wouldn't mind our shocking defence as much if we were playing great football. As it is we're worse going forward than we should be, our midfield can't control a game even though we our midfield players are better in possession than most in the league, and we look incredibly open when defending.
Good week for us. Caught with Arsenal and still on bar with Spurs and Chelsea. Not very far from City either.
just seen the score 
well done keystone kops

I don't think he's an alternative the club will look at.
It's rubbing across the surface of things prior to using filler and then papering over the cracks.
Couldn't see the twitter link of the Mourinho analysis, any other vids of it?
I couldn't watch any match today but
It's great to read that Lewis Cook was amazing on his comeback.....if he stays fit then we should sign him and he should be close to the England squad too.
And hey Arsenal what the feck

I didn't watch arsenal much this season but last season at least in first half of the season I thought Arsenal had set way of playing. They made many mistakes playing the ball from defence but they still continued to play, after few games they were more comfortable doing it. Also they overloaded wings and gained numerical advantage with many overlapping runs, most of the chances created with same pattern.
Not sure how they are playing this season but yesterday it was horrible performance from Arsenal. Struggled to string couple of passes.
I think Villa-West Ham will be a good game tonight
Wesley's changed his haircut from the last time I saw him. Doesn't look like Valencia anymore.
I'm looking forward to this. Two quite evenly matched sides with a sprinkling of quality throughout.

If Pogba leaves we should consider Lanzini.
That foul by McGinn looked very soft.
Cant afford to miss those playing for the likes of Villa.
How did he not score there?
That Marvellous fella has something of the Fred about him - for one fifth of the cost.
Those rolls
Both have cool names
Noble has that punchable face
Grealish could become a very good player in time. Isn't too far off even now.
I reckon he's already better than Barkley at quite a similar role.

Mings and his teammate fighting.
VAR check on it
VAR check on it
Fight !
That'd be a red if he planted it on the opposition.
Mings has lost his marbles. Thats not even El Ghazi's man.
This a thousand times
Noble should be off for diving.. what a prick
Martin Tyler is gonna blow his load if he sores.
Noble is such a cheat
Ouch, that hurts
Definite dive by Noble - should’ve earned him his second yellow.
Hard man Noble
This game is proper shithouse
English players don't dive. Why are you saying Noble dived? How dare you?
VAR should look at this sort of stuff
It’s someone else commentating on sky?
