Premier League Gameweek 34-35

[Zed is not dead]

You mean like the one OGS was criticized for playing and supposedly the players challenges him to step away from and try and play like the "bigger teams"?

Exactly.

Not the right thread but I always thought OGS was a very smart manager in that he knew what he could and couldn’t do with the squad, and he was very harshly judged when two managers later you see that the squad is still a long way from playing « proactive football ». At least with OGS we had some fun and high scoring games

 

[Irrational.]

Madueke is a low IQ player

Yet still managed to ‘win’ a penalty in the dying seconds against us. Tells us more about the IQ of our defenders.

 

[E-mal]

Mudryk isn’t a footballer. He’s a runner but he’s not a footballer. Passing is crazy bad.

He has won the ultimate jackpot

 

[Samid]

How did we lose to Chelsea? I can grasp losing to the likes of Bournemouth, Brighton, Palace etc. because at least those teams are capable of playing as a team once in a while. There's nothing cohesive about Chelsea. Just headless chickens running around, failing to do basic stuff.

 

[Irrational.]

Gallagher hiding away from the ball

He’s just a toff Lingard. Gives the illusion of being very busy without doing much.

Because you are also shit.

Doesn't that also describe United?

 

[Red Star One]

game on

 

[DomesticTadpole]

The low IQ one has pulled a goal back.

 

[T_Model101]

Ok, someone needs to make a gif of the gammons celebrating that goal
There's definitely gold in there

 

[Gazautd18]

Madueke scores

 

[E-mal]

That goal shows how smart Palmer is, one time pass

 

[One Night Only]

The low IQ one has pulled a goal back.

That narrows it down to about 12-13 players in the Chelsea squad.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Freekick to Chelsea right on edge of box.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Palmer wasted at Chelsea

He was wasted at City, too.

 

[always_hoping]

The low IQ one has pulled a goal back.

What was that goal celebration about?

 

[RedRocket9908]

Why do teams still try to play out from the back? I see so many goals given away these days by teams doing that.

 

[pocco]

Madueke is on fire tonight, best I've seen him play.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Shite free kick.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

What was that goal celebration about?

Didn't take much notice to be honest.

 

[JBG]

Exactly.

At least with OGS we had some fun and high scoring games

Exactly this, 100% agree. OGS knew exactly what kind of team and players he had and played to their strengths.

 

[didz]

Shite free kick.

Too far out for Palmer.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Too much of this standing of players feet.

 

[awop]

Did they all bet on a red card in this game ? Everybody's taking out someone

 

[Rightnr]

How is it possible for Villa's reserve goalie to be more of a madman than Martinez

 

[didz]

Exactly.

He was until he wasn't. When he told the team to press Liverpool and try and play on the front foot, that was it.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Madueke is a low IQ player

How would you describe Garnacho or Antony?

 

[E-mal]

They are ignoring Mudryk deliberately

 

[Catt]

They are ignoring Mudryk deliberately

Thought so too. Lols

 

[One Night Only]

How would you describe Garnacho or Antony?

Garnacho is levels above him.

Antony I would call a no IQ player.

 

[E-mal]

How would you describe Garnacho or Antony?

Potato patato

 

[Catt]

Villa all at sea in the 2nd half

 

[MayosNoun]

Mudryk does well in flashes but his end product is a serious worry.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Villa losing control here

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Chelsea lucky there.

 

[JBG]

He was until he wasn't. When he told the team to press Liverpool and try and play on the front foot, that was it.

Well yeah that was my point in the post "Zed" quoted. OGS was criticized and supposedly pushed by his players to try and play like "the bigger teams" and it all went to shit from there.

If it ain't broke...

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Carlos is a tank!

 

[V.O.]

Are Villa aware that you're allowed to take a set piece without doing three fake run-ups first?

 

[didz]

Well yeah that was my point in the post "Zed" quoted. OGS was criticized and supposedly pushed by his players to try and play like "the bigger teams" and it all went to shit from there.

Oh, sorry my bad skimming through there. Yeah, agreed

 

[fps]

If you were a manager I think you’d rather have Chelsea’s squad than ours. Despite Mudryk.
