Premier League - Gameweek 17

No we really haven't, not in a effective way that builds up to anything, and especially not in a 3/4 games you'd like to see the improvement that Amorim's had so far, it's no way near there yet, and hasn't been for years. Obviously he should feasibly have a consistent plan and setup in mind which is better than ETH just throwing in whatever and expecting it to randomly work. But again, I'd fancy any of the 3 forwards you mentioned to do fine with Slot and this Liverpool team but not Salah level, Nunez, Diaz, Gakpo and Jota though? Definitely...

Have had more possession than majority of teams, more field tilt, expected threat, more xG, and conceded very little xg on average from open play. So yeah, we've controlled most games, just because your eye test and memory doesn't think so doesn't deem it true.

But sure stick Rasmus and Garnacho up top for Liverpool see how they fare.

What's with referees going on about the context of the game changing their decisions? It's as stupid as saying a tackle in the penalty area would be a foul anywhere else on the pitch, or a two footed lunge would be a red if it wasn't made in the first 5 minutes of a game. Can we have some fecking proper rules put in place and consistently applied ffs

Yeah it’s fecking annoying. Get Mike Dean checked for corruption.

A foul is a foul whether it’s in the World Cup final or in a League 1 game, Wrexham vs Wycombe. Doesn’t matter.

I can't argue with people who solely watch stats, and that's fine, I prefer the middle ground. There was little control today, Arsenal, City and Spurs were two choatic messes of games etc. But you know. But as I said, there's no point continuing this.

Let's sign up Gakpo, Nunez and Diaz and see United be 20pts better off. We both know, it's not the case... since there's no Salah who's clearly the man, VVD, TAA and basically a setup that's been in place for years feeding them.

Strongly disagree with this. United v Fulham should be refereed differently than United v Liverpool. Not wildly different of course, but I would expect the line for yellow cards to be different f.ex.

I disagree with you here. A yellow card offence is the same. A penalty is the same.
