Tyler Roberts mistake again

When does Bielsa get the sack?
Odegaard looks better all the time.
I think they should play to get points
What a breath of fresh air Bielsa is.
Ramsdale clapping for that penalty challenge was hilarious for some reason. 
Leeds Utd. 1 - [4] Arsenal - E. Smith Rowe 84'
The drama
"Koch's lost his head".
Ouch...
Ouch...
Right, but you’re equating trying to shut up shop with winning points. Farke tried that and glued his side to the bottom of the league. No one looks at Burnley and says they should suddenly employ a high press and focus on tiki taka.
Ah balls, that must hurt
This game should have been 5-6 minutes in injury time. They just don’t give a feck about the rules when the game is done
More fantasy points from Emile Death-Row.
A bit hard to critique when he has barely had Bamford and Phillips this season.
No.
I'm saying pushing players forward (when half of them are squad players) means you're more likely to get picked off .. and lose
How big was beating Arsenal now?, if they had have beat Utd we would be 11 points behind them now. No Europe will mean they should be fresh for the 2nd half of the season too. Game in the Emirates will be massive.
I'd hate to be that poor guy having to translate Bielsa's drivel every weekend.
Spurs have 4 games in hand on Arsenal now. Makes me wonder what was the biggest ever game in hand gap between teams in the Premier League.
F.A should put this on hold until everyone is okay to play and games are equal.
Although I don't expect them to, it won't surprise me if they finish top 4. They have a bunch of brilliant youngsters who are now the backbone of the team. They will be back in Europe next season for sure.
During the 05/06 season I think we had a fair few in hand due to the World Cup thing we had to play in after winning the CL.
Four games in hand is a lot though.
Thats going to be a problem for them when they have to play them.
2 more Chelsea players have Covid (that's six now) but our game today is still on.
After seeing Everton and Leeds' lineups in the last game - sorry, this just isn't fair anymore.
Every single game should be stopped.
Everton's lineup wasn't fair on Chelsea. If they'd played the same xi that had been stinking up the league for months we might have won.
Leeds players don't have covid to the best of my knowledge, they're just injured.
Everton vs Chelsea was great. Everton’s academy players, Gordon especially, put in really gutsy performances and got a draw.
They will play them with a few new additions to the Spurs squad. May work out for Conte.
Don't really buy that, if they play that lineup again chances are the opposition have their shooting boots on this time and the "gutsy" performances are instead seen as gutless even though there wasn't really that much difference in performance application.
I'm not saying they should be critisized in general as it was a weakened team and they done their best given the circumstances but there's a fine line between a team playing backs to the wall football being hailed as heroes and gutless, and on Thursday that line was Pickford.
They've got a consistent back 5 for the first time in years. No Europe in the second half of the season and already points on the board over us, West Ham and Spurs. I'd have them favourites at this point.
Do we know who's out?

Kick off is just over 2 hours away. Ridiculous that they didn't call this off days ago, ridiculous if they call it if now.
No, but its apparently up to 7 players now. The first 4 were Lukaku, Chilwell, CHO and Werner.
The request was put in early this morning it seems.
Sure but as it was the Everton kids did pretty OK.
Yeah, it was the same with Brighton a few games ago when pundits said they should push for a cancellation because they had so many players out but it was down to injuries.
Players being out injured v covid related should be reported separately

6 players with Covid not enough it seems.
Isn't it basically five players missing due to Covid since Chilwell would be out injured anyway?
