[Tecumseh]

Come on Bournemouth! And Chelsea for the Cup!

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Watkins give Villa lead early v. Forest.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Villa two up. Luiz.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Luiz again for Villa. 3-0.

 

[Forest Red]

All on Nuno this - picking Niakhate at LB (with Toff on the bench) he’s getting done again and again by their winger. He hasn’t got a clue how to play LB. Get him off before we are are 4 down by halftime.

 

[GlasgowCeltic]

I don't rate any of Fulham's players but they're outplaying Utd

 

[SilentWitness]

Another shameful performance from us.

 

[Leftback99]

We won't be catching Villa.

 

[Irrational.]

Morgan Gobb-Shite unusually quiet.

 

[Utd heap]

We won't be catching Villa.

I'll give you a clue. Don't judge it week on week, there's a reason we are all 4th-6th. People always judge the race on title form / performance.

We're all occasionally pretty shit

 

[njred]

What a season Aston Villa is having. They are miles above anyone below the top four

 

[njred]

How are Fulham not winning this? Just that final pass is missing.

 

[Forest Red]

Morgan Gobb-Shite unusually quiet.

Haha

 

[njred]

Get paid!

Nah sometimes it's just obvious by watching teams play.

 

[njred]

Crap

 

[njred]

Get paid again! Maguire thinking he’s a forward left to try and run.

 

[SilentWitness]

Absolutely shite game management today. Played for the 1-0, obtained it, and instead of trying to keep the ball when they go down to 10 we just invite pressure. Golden chance with other teams doing shite this weekend and we fluffed it.

I’ve seen more than enough to know you’ll stay up.

Another Wharton masterclass today, you were right about him.

 

[Josh 76]

City making hard work of these teams, while Liverpool using these teams to boost their goal difference.

 

[Antisocial]

City just begging to drop points here.

 

[Daydreamer]

City just begging to drop points here.

They’ve haven’t looked great whenever I’ve watched them in recent week, but they keep racking up the points.

Rather annoying.

 

[adexkola]

I'm half convinced Doku is mostly to blame for City's defensive lapses this season. I've only seen 15 minutes and he alone has generated 3 of Bournemouth's counters

 

[Sanchez7]

Bournemouth were excellent and gave them a proper game. Almost no chance we will be as competitive next week.

 

[padr81]

We didn't deserve to win that. Not in great form despite being 13w 1d 0l in our last 14 and with Anfield on the horizon and Liverpool averaging about 4 goals a game at the minute it could be rough.
Anything less than a win in the derby and it could be over in 2 weeks.

Don't think they're playing flat out in most games. They know they could go up another gear if they wanted to. The only hope for opposition teams is to equalize or score the winner so late in the game that they don't have time to respond. Exactly what Arsenal, Palace and Liverpool did, plus Chelsea in that 4 all game.

Bernardo Silva will become prime Maradona at Anfield. Again. The league is still yours to lose, you'll win it by a point. Again. Thrice bitten quad shy.

Thankfully there is a silver lining coming (no not the meaningless PL investigation). Pep will leave eventually and there are encouraging noises being made about Klopp's replacement (Xabi/Amorim) in his absence.

 

[Sandikan]

He's the only player they have who actually is direct with pace.
At times late on City looked like us, with Bournemouth cutting through them at pace.

 

[FeedTheGoat]

You aren't wrong. Think he will see less and less gametime in the coming months until he magically becomes twice the player next season.

Had a really bright start though

 

[BorisManUtd]

Don't feel confident relying on Arsenal to stop Liverpool from winning the league. Of course they've been brilliant last 2 seasons but can they go all the way? Hopefully. Kinda feel City won't win it this season, though they're just behind Liverpool and are capable of those 10/12 games winning runs when it matters.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Gabriel scores for Arsenal. Could be an OG.

 

[mav_9me]

Set pieces are the single biggest reason arsenal are in the title race

 

[awop]

Poor Karius made a great save only for his two defenders to ruin everything

 

[Sanchez7]

Complete dominance by Arsenal. So impressive.

 

[Pirlo'sBeard]

Fantastic save initially. Strange goal.

 

[Jack-C20]

That was weird. Didn’t even realise Karius had saved it so was wondering what the feck he was doing diving at his own player. That’s the sort of goal we’d concede.

 

[mu4c_20le]

"You're shit without Ashcroft!"

 

[Jacko21]

Arsenal look fantastic.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Such good football from Arsenal. Wow!
