I thought Villarreal had been relegated.
I thought Villarreal had been relegated.
Just had a look at them. They're 7th but with a GD of +22 and a really good defence. That xG bollocks will be having an aneurysm.

4th on xPTS.
I think I'm thinking of Deportivo.
Ian Wright really is the bollocks
Not many teams make Liverpool look as poor as they did in the first half last night. You'd have to be willingly blind to not see that Arsenal have levelled up this season. Mainly just need a zippy forward that can score lots of goals. Perhaps someone from Portugal.
England squad announcement this afternoon, frothing going to be at an all time high when Conor Coady and Anthony Gordon once again get overlooked for Maguire and Rashford.
Anthony Gordon.
Brandon Williams too.
Arsenal did ok and are better than they were but the only real chance they had last night was the Thiago backpass. They had a couple of dangerous situations but never really created anything. Liverpool were poor in the first half but never really looked in any danger and realistically only had to play 10 minutes and then just lock the game down again.
Arsenal just needed someone other that Martinez to step up last night. Unfortunately for them Robertson is probably the best left back in the world and he covered Saka well. Lacazette wasn’t getting much change from Matip and Virgil.
You can definitely see the improvement in that first 50 mins. Though once Liverpool scored they took over for long enough to put the game away. I suppose that’s the difference.
They don't have any game changers and the manager/system isn't good enough to make up for that. It's wall-to-wall flakey midgets in that attack with no real supply. Klopp would have made wine out of a front 3 of Saka-Laca/ESR-Martinelli but instead legoman is clueless once it goes beyond how to beat the opposition press.
Rashford dropped. Can't wait for the statement.
No Sancho either?
Smith-Rowe over Sancho is pretty whacky.
Sancho's England trajectory has just been weird under Southgate.
Played loads of games while pissing it against Bundesliga teams. All of a sudden wasn't 'experienced enough' for the Euros and so was dropped for Saka because he had the vital experience of playing against Watford or whatever, is now on good form in England and is dropped from the squad altogether?
Alright.
How has Jadons Ancho been dropped?
Also, lol at Maguire still being picked.
Sancho needs to get involved in the leadership group.
By Sancho good form I presume we are talking about his shape-up and his recent appearance on MOTD-X where he spat 16 fire bars alongside Stormzy?
Based on recent track record I'm willing to go with 'Gareth' if he mysteriously leaves out a Man U forward.
Everton are so shaky. Level of anxiety in the stadium is sky-high too, which doesn't seem to be helping.
I work with an Evertonian, and he seethes about pretty much everything in life except Everton, which he just rolls his eyes and lols about. Work that one out.
Some basement creature has tied himself to the post by the neck.
The URL doesn't even work.
Amateur hour from the Goodison stewards, did they not see it tried last night?
Horrendous challenge from Allan.
Those are proper sex offender glasses.
Not for me chief. Maybe it's geo-limited?
Fucking hell.
It'd take me about ten minutes to get a cable tie into that position. Proper wrong un to have those co-ordination skills.
Sancho has 3 or 4 good games and suddenly every one thinks he should be in the England squad
Might as well call up James Milner, too.
Surely alarm bells should have been ringing when that lad walked through the turnstile. He doesn't even know what a football is.
Sancho played pretty well for a few years at Dortmund as well.
Surprises me that Rashford has even been dropped. As for Sancho on balance he should be in there in all honesty he looks like United's best attacker whenever I see them.
If Liverpool and City are drawn together in the European Cup will they end up playing each other three times in the space of a week?
Benfica in the quarter finals is a dream draw.
You'll smash them by 4 minimum.
I thought it was City who got all the easy draws?
Aye, pretty much a dream draw, particularly if the yellow submarine can torpedo Bismark Munich.
