Premier League Gameweek 30-32

Im weighing up 2 things. The amount of contact Lamptey gets on the ball, and the amount of contact Lamptey gets on the player in the same motion.
First 1 is minimal, 2nd 1 isn’t. There’s other examples of things I think we’ve benefited from, such as the Odegaard handball at Anfield, this isn’t 1 of them to me.

Fair enough. I think there are some situations where your logic may not hold, such as those 1 on 1's where the keeper comes out and gets a slight touch on the ball.

It's kind of like unless the keeper fully gathers it / knocks it away strongly, then it's a pen because the follow through will more likely than not be stronger than the contact on the ball, yet often even a slight touch is seen as mitigation. But keepers get weird protection anyway so maybe that explains that.
 
6-5-8-8-5 were five finishes in a row for them before last season.

The two 8s are a low even Moyes couldn't sink us too, so it show things can change when you get the right building blocks.
 
Arsenal are a very impressive side and I think they are more convincing than Liverpool. As a United fan, I’m fed up of the club’s three biggest rivals constantly winning. Would be refreshing to see them draw or lose once in a fecking while mind.

I heard people said the same thing when Leicester won the title. I won't mind to win a title on a "weak' year at all.

If the Arsenal fan tv lot, and a few arses we all know locally would agree to keep humble if you won it, we'd all 100% be backing you.

Liverpool are the worry as they're doing just enough to get wins out when not playing well.
Arsenal are smashing the goals in, but will they have the tight 1-0 when it's all against them?

There is something much more resiliant about this Arsenal team.

100%
Arteta proved all the doubters wrong from last year. All the talk about last year being Arsenal’s chance blown as if they couldn’t go again or were not the real deal.

My last post of the day so just going to finish with that I hope Arsenal win the title this year. Credit to the club for sticking with him. People use his success as a benchmark for comparison for sticking with Ten Hag, but Arteta’s lows were never as littered with mind-bogglingly poor decisions on the daily and presiding over a team that looks completely systematically broken.

Probably, yeah?

If Arsenal TV did that theyd not get views

Why do we get judged on Arsenal TV
I never ever even heard of that trash till I started browsing Redcafe
 
Can't say I've watched all their games, but whenever I have, I've been more impressed with them than City or Liverpool. As long as they don't bottle it mentally at the end I think they'll win the league

Most likely. I’m all for that if they prevent Liverpool winning the league though. Liverpool are more culpable of a slip-up (hopefully Stevie G style) though their firepower is undoubtably scary.

It’s not in arsenal hands though. Liverpool got easy games and can win it all.

I was a lot more impressed with how Liverpool played against City a few weeks ago than with how Arsenal did.

They'll drop points along the way probably the weekends after the Bayern Munich CL games. As for Brighton and De Zerbi hype has any cameras followed them around as much since that win over United last season?

The funny thing is that all the "experts" reckoned Arsenal didn't have a chance because they didn't have a proper striker.
Yet they've outscored everyone.

He’s a very good manager. It’ll be an interesting title run in

I wouldnt say Liverpool have got easy gamesif you look at their last 6 they Fulham, Everton, and West Ham all away over a space of 7 days then after that they have Spurs @ Home, Villa Away, and then Wolves at home.
 
Rice is just incredible at the moment unfortunately. And I count myself among the many who were delighted that we signed Casemiro instead of him last year.

Arsenal and Liverpool play each other on the final day, so I guess it's in both of their hands. If Arsenal win all their remaining games they finish top

Yeah, City scored more when they had various interchangeable midgets up front than they do now they have a 50 goal a season striker as well.

The most difficult part of the Fulham and West Ham games for Liverpool would be finding ways to stay occupied during the travel.

They've got us, and Villa away.
We're in a bit of a state and Villa may well be on the beach by game 37.

Arsenal have harder games. Also us, but an us actually with a defence by then, plus Tottenham and Chelsea aways.
Today could have been tricky though and they cruised that.

How have you got this so wrong?! It's not 1989.

If you open their fixture lists on Google, it chucks the friendlies they've got booked for the summer in at the end without differentiating them from the league games. It's probably that.

It's caused me to do a few double takes as well.
 
Arsenal's goal difference is becoming very impressive IMO

They're projected to finish with ~90 scored ~30 conceded ~+60GD
