GWT: EPL - Matchweek 37 (Ft. MW 34)

[Savant]

You know. When Klopp first started he would talk about the counterpress being the best playmaker.

This season. The other team’s best playmaker has consistently been unforced errors from LFC; where we just pass it to the other team.

do they sell Salah if a Saudi team comes again with a rediculous amount

If they sell Salah, how do they replace his output?

And I’m not even against selling him, but there better be a plan

Worst game I've ever seen Trent play. So checked out.

 

[hatterson]

His arm was in a natural position (as evidenced by the fact that the defenders arm was in the same type of position) and it was pushed up in the collision with the defender, and the ball was hit into it from extremely close range.

Calling it a pen would fit with the UEFA interpretation that defenders need to play without arms, but it's deeply stupid to me.

 

[Savant]

He just looks done playing right back. Slot is going to have to play him in midfield, or they may as well sell him to Madrid

I would, no player should be untouchable, if they bring a new manager they need committed players and no passengers.

Yeah you're winning this one with Bradley on the pitch instead of him.

 

[Savant]

Yeah I mean I just think Trent has outgrown that RB role. Next year I think you have to do Bradley/Gomez (or like Geertruida if they want him) at RB and Trent in midfield; BUT I don’t think you want Trent in midfield in 433, so either you are going to do a double pivot with him and probably Alexis, or maybe you sell Salah and put Trent at RM but this is the right time to get him out of the defense . Which is fine.

Arsenal doesn't need a Spurs win, we just need a draw which is what I am hoping for as it is the most realistic scenario.

As for the Man United vs Arsenal game, I was surprised that Arsenal didn't look better, especially with the Devils IR list. And the only goal we got was from an absolutely Pejorative Slured mistake by Casemiro. I thought Arsenal were the better team between 0 and 30 minutes where they looked like they could score 4-5 goals easily. Then we kept losing possession and allowed United back in the game. They were definitely the better team towards the end of the half. Then Arsenal were the better team for about 10 to 15 minutes at the beginning of the second half, but Man U got better due to the desperation to try and score. Not thrilled with how they played overall considering how weak their opponents were, but considering our record at Old Trashcan, I will take a below-average performance with 3 points. I just expected more due to how brutal United's backline was in that game, that. Saliba was unbelievable.

We need to do something with Martinelli because he's gotten worse as the season has gone along.

 

[hatterson]

Draw does nothing for Spurs though, so if they’re in it, they may throw a lot at getting a win. Including sacrificing the draw.

I think a draw would clinch a top 6 finish, which gets them into Europe next year.

On one hand Spurs are giving up 12 goals a match. On the other hand, they have won 5 out of the last 6 at home against City.

Those wins were not with Angeball though. Both Mou and Conte had their issues, but they always knew how to set up their teams against Pep.

 

[maclean]

You know Tottenham helping Arsenal might be the most Spurs thing

Tell you what, if Spurs somehow beats City then I won't bristle at being called the luckiest

 

[Evilo]

Funny I'd say RB position has outgrown TAA.

 

[hatterson]

Funny I'd say RB position has outgrown TAA.

Outgrown is a funny way to say defensively exposed and extremely lazy tracking back.

 

[JPBolts]

Jhon Durán has 5 PL goals in 372 PL minutes. Quite the haul, it’s more than some big names (e.g. Ivan Toney)

 

[Savant]

Sure. Just about everything else has gone Arsenal‘a way this season, why stop now?

This is fair too. I’d more so go with bored and uninterested too,

And that tactical genius Nuno Espírito Santo?

Enh, you know what, I take it back

 

[S E P H]

lets go Spurs! Don't fail me you wanks.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

1st start at fullback for VDV
1st start EVER at Spurs for Dragusin

Deep end, fellas.

That midfield isn't exactly creative, I expect them to help in their own end often.

Hopefully @luiginb is right and Dragusin helps with their set piece issues.

 

[hatterson]

Very fast based first 5 minutes. Both teams sprinting a lot
