GWT: EPL - Matchweek 36 (ft. MW 26)

[Venkman]

United are so bad. Don't think I've seen a player look as finished as Casemiro still playing in a top league. Eriksen not far behind.

 

[Savant]

It's absolutely a different level team since those ugly winter days. Everything is clicking right now (solid adds in the January transfer window too) but unfortunately I doubt both Eze and Olise are with the team when the next season starts. If they can keep all the key guys in the summer then anything but a top half finish next season has to be considered as a disappointment.

Yeah for sure. It’s a shame that it’s inevitable Palace will lose them. But they’d be starters for teams contending for UCL spots (especially abroad) and here they are fighting for top half. Their level with both of them healthy is damn good. It’s a shame it’s a rarity

 

[Jussi]

Carragher saying on Sky Sports to take Casemiro off, put AWB as a CB and bring in someone else. He hasn't seen AWB paly CB. I have and he was terrible. The only option for LB is Harry Amass and I'm not sure I'd want to ruin the kid's confidence playing in this game.

Eriksen at least looks like he's trying he just absolutely doesn't have it anymore. Casemiro looks like he absolutely could not care at all.

I'm fully convinced most of the time he goes diving into challenges now it's because if he does that he doesn't actually have to run back. He can dive in, stay on the ground for a few seconds, and then jog back.

 

[Jussi]

Forget about United scoring a goal, I'm not sure if they can get a shot on goal.

At this point I'll settle for a decent looking attacking move.

I'm not holding my breath though.

It's almost like their only creative player was missing...

 

[hatterson]

It's almost like their only creative player was missing...

It's actually hilarious that they've spent like 500 million since Bruno arrived and he's still effectively their only creative attacking player.

 

[Jussi]

I get the feeling United are saving "everything" for the FA Cup final, by which the injury situation should have improved significantly. Just mailing in the rest of the PL season. Shades of the EL final season. Of course the injury situation wasn't as dire then.

 

[gary69]

Casemiro in a prime position to watch Palace score another.

 

[PanniniClaus]

well... Palace fans are having a great night out.

 

[hatterson]

Offside earlier so it would have been ruled out, but wtf is the ref doing not calling that a foul?

There he was again on his backside when a goal was scored.

 

[hatterson]

Casemiro with an all time great game.

Just truly spectacular.

 

[erikhamren]

tbf United have Casemiro and Evans as CB partnership, but the attack should do more anyway

 

[Jussi]

"we're f***ing shit..., we're f***ing shit..."

 

[Live in the Now]

Feel like there’s no way ETH survives this.

 

[bluesfan94]

I almost feel bad for Casemiro. Not easy playing out of position.

But then you watch

 

[Jussi]

Feel like there’s no way ETH survives this.

Oh he will. The injury situation is his shield. And the FA Cup final spot.

Also, this will be the 4th season in a row that United won't win at Palace.

Yea it's one thing if he was making some bad reads or struggling to keep a line or something.

But almost all of his issues are because he's being insanely lazy.

 

[hatterson]

Some games you lose 4-0 and you say it wasn't as bad as the scoreline indicated.....this one has been far worse than 4-0 implies.

 

[Jussi]

Some games you lose 4-0 and you say it wasn't as bad as the scoreline indicated.....this one has been far worse than 4-0 implies.

And this was more or less expected, given the injuries.

 

[bluesfan94]

It wasn’t expected for United to get absolutely worked and lose 4-0

 

[Jussi]

It wasn’t expected for United to get absolutely worked and lose 4-0

It was. I bet one euro on 5-0 Palace win.

 

[hatterson]

It was. I bet one euro on 5-0 Palace win.

And what odds did you get on that?
