2018/2019 Premier League Discussion Part III

My keyboard has æ,ø and å on it, but otherwise it's the same as a standard QWERTY keyboard. My top key to the left of Enter adds umlaut to the following letter.

Emery is the guy who once fielded 9 defensive players and still lost 4-0.

I used to call the guy a coward back then and it seems he hasn't changed a bit.

He's Mourinho without the charisma. His interview must have been stellar or our recruiting team were morons. Either way, he's proving to be a very uninspired appointment.

All 3 goals came due to Lichsteiner being shit

Did score with his hand, wasn't handling though

Don't think Aguero knew anything about it, and certainly didn't move his arm in an attempt to score with it.

Had enough of him Jay?

I have to admit, I think the first month or so he looked like an improvement (even with the two losses to start the season). Since then I can't really pick any part of Arsenal that looks improved, other than perhaps the individual form of Auba/Laca. Which I don't think is due to him and indeed I think has made his tenure look better than it is. That long win streak was...paper, over cracks, and I never gave it much merit (and I don't think that's a unique opinion).

I would agree Emery is not the answer.

nope. defo not my opinion.

I was fed up with him when he was winning EL's with Sevilla. You can probably find old posts of me complaining about him back then.

I wasn't expecting a good result against City, so I'm not holding that against him. Nor is it entirely his fault that the players we have aren't up to it. These are problems beyond his control.

On the other hand, his tactics are uninspiring. He rarely gets the starting eleven right, he's had to change shape/personnel at half-time several times (he changed our shape within 10 minutes tonight ffs) and he's killed us as an attacking force. We didn't have a single shot in the second half tonight. By the time Ramsey and Suarez came on, the team was tired, having spent all game tracking back.

His handling of the Ozil situation has been poor. He's staring a lack of creativity in the face, but continually ostracises the most creative player at his disposal, because he doesn't defend enough. Yet Iwobi gets a pass, even though he doesn't do any more defensive work than Ozil does, because Iwobi dribbles a bit. We had Kolasinac - an absolute travesty of a player - playing LW for 60 minutes while Ozil and Ramsey were sat on the bench. That's the same Ramsey who started against Chelsea to do a very specific marking job on Jorginho (which he did very well), yet apparently is no use against City.

His entire attacking system is built around cut backs from the full backs and hoping Auba/Laca are on form. His system relies on two of our worst players for goals while the good players are shafted. His defensive system relies on everyone running and pressing, but he's so far failed to extract that from the players on a regular basis.

So no, I'm not happy with him. I'm very concerned about giving him the summer window.

Huge 3 points today. However the board not backing Ole with a signing or 2 will cost us top 4 though, seriously. Most of them key players of ours are running on empty by the time games reach 60-65 minutes now. We were bottom on distance run under moaninhho. And now Ole is making players run to the ground every game. Its really taking toll on players and its going to come hurt us in the coming weeks sadly as an injury to one of Pogba, Rashf, Ander or Lindelof, and we will be done.

you will get 4th no problem. the other 2 are gash.

Arsenal are utterly useless as of late. Dire squad bar 3 notable players.

Leno clearly was bought by Arsenal board reading RWO hyping him (or any other German[goalkeeper]) as I never will understood how such a highly paid scouting team fell for a GK who has been overhyped for years on end.

Iwobi was never a talent in any form.
Kolisinac is nowhere near the player he was in Schalke and looks out of his depth.
Fielding Rick Steiner as a Wingback is poor given he hasn't been one since 2014 when was was about 33.

Terrible performance.

I was convinced Kolasinac was going to be an unreal coup lmao

Fifa duping me ffs

Well, I'll say it, so happy City won, phew. Some level of sanity has been restored and Pool fans across the internets are getting proper negative. Thank you City, thank you Pep.

N.B Please don't let this post discourage you from beating Bayern @Unique. This is just PL business.

Yeah so much for Pool winning the league. They draw at West Ham tonight and it's pretty much over.

I don't understand the hate for Liverpool. No worries though, I'll be the only non-liverpool fan from GL supporting them in their noble quest to dethrone the bald fraud.

The Premier League crown will find its home at the glorious Anfield before season's end, and I'll make sure to look down on each and every one of your corpses you numpties and smile as The Liver Bird makes its final grunt signalling the end of the war and triumph of the five-time European Champion.

BTW, if Liverpool gets owned tonight, I'll just pretend that this was written by my younger brother who doesn't exist.

I mean the likelihood of West Ham beating anyone good is slim to none lol.

Not saying Liverpool won't drop points in the weeks to come but tonight it won't happen.

I am one of Klopp's biggest supporters but im losing patience with him not spending the dough when its required. Baffling how much he trusts the old numpties that constantly finished 8th in their lives until he came.

The RB situation is a prime example of it.

Lmao Hendo and Gini miss out today. We are going to get overrun in the midfield now.

Liverpool XI to face @WestHamUtd: Alisson, Milner, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Keita, Lallana, Salah, Mane, Firmino

That midfield cost combined 130m lol. Should not be overrun.

Up against a BREXIT midfield of Noble, Snodgrass and Rice. There is only one winner here, also Fabinho and Keita aren't even EU

May be we should revert to 433 for this one.

Hundreds of millions spent under Klopp and this Liverpool narrative continues

Lallana starting? I guess they are conceding the league already and looking to the UCL.

I got reminded yesterday why I despise City so much.

C'MON LIVERPOOL!

The narrative is Klopp not spending when its required. Keita came after 1 year. Klopp made 0 signings in his first year unless you count Grujic who was sent back to Serbia for the season. He spends well and cleverly but its not when the squad is at their knees begging to be saved.

It works out for Klopp uptil now, don't know how long people will accept us getting to CL finals and PL title challenges and losing, because the only place you point a finger is then at Klopp's stubborness.

The past is the past, hasn't Klopp signed the entire 11 at this point? Not sure about the years exactly but this is a very "recent" liverpool team signed by Klopp

Alisson, Van Dijk, Salah, Keita, Fabinho, Mane, Firmino, Matip, Robertson, Wijnaldum, etc.

I'm sure I'm forgetting more
