Premier League Gameweek 26

“Gareth Bale with his fingerprints all over this one” what the feck does that even mean? It’s not a fecking crime scene. Second time the commentator has said it as well. One to be added to the annoying football phrases thread.
 
Cue the media wankfest over Bale in the coming weeks, “he’s back!”

Let's hope there aren't loads of threads saying we should have got him, when whoever starts on our right wing has an average game.
 
Confidence diminished a bit after seeing the our lineup, esp in midfield. Kante in there is surrendering the midfield control we've established since Tuchel. We keep losing grip of the middle of the park everytime Kante starts or comes on.
Then again he might be there to simply do a job on Bruno so hopefully he is successful in nullifing that threat.
Also would have preferred Werner up top with his pace instead of Giroud. Giroud with his pace will make Maguire's job easily defined for him, Werner could at least take him to school with some pace in behind but Giroud obviously deserves the start.
In all, I wouldn't be surprised if this ends in another draw.

I think lindelof would have dealt with Werner better than giroud
Im worried about giroud as we always struggle against him
 
can I ask was Aina subbed due to injury or just crap?

I didn't notice any injury and the commentator didn't mention it so I think it was just a tactical change man.

Robinson was certainly an improvement on him!
 
Pressure and this Manchester United team don’t go together to well I’m afraid.:nervous:
I know what you mean and that’s why we need to garner as many points as possible now to leave enough buffer because there will be a big push from teams below 4th place as the season draws to a close.

We can only hope for the best.
 
Theyre getting tanked today and were the second best team v 10 man West Brom last week.
5 points is nothing. Its a freak win at Anfield

Still think Newcastle is more likely to go down than them. But I quite like the idea of a last-day relegation scrap with several teams in the mix.
 
Without knowing the stats it always feels like you can usually name nine or ten of their starters every week, with maybe a Rodriguez or Bardsley coming in now and again. They must use the least players in the league
 
Can see a United win here, counter attacking is where Ole team thrive at.
 
How the absolute frig is that not a pen!?

He's waving his hand at it!!
 
Get mics on the officials would love to hear what discussion goes on with decisions like that
 
Attwell's a huge Chelsea fan, not surprising.
 
I just do not understand that decision.

Tbh I don't understand football anymore.

I do not like.

It's such a bad decision that his integrity is immediately brought into question.

It wouldn't be so bad had the decision been made in real-time, but he watched the reply on a small screen more than once. How on earth can you possibly justify not giving a penalty there?
 
First glance you presumed it was a straight forward Greenwood hand ball.

But for them to review it, tell the ref to have another look, and THEN not to give it shows that the Klopp/Jose stuff about us getting too many pens has got into some ref's subconscious.

There was no reason that wasn't a pen. He had his hand in the air, and had plenty of time and space to review the situation.
 
Bottlejob from Tyler.

What do YOU think about whether it was a pen.

Then just waffles without giving an opinion.
 
Stuart Attwell probably going in to do the Chelsea haft time team talk the cnut...
