The Premier League - 2020/21 - All Match Discussion In Here

Milner on for Firmino, Liverpool really going for it.

 

Now 6-2.

So in the last week.....City have lost 5-2 at home, United have lost 6-1 at home and Liverpool losing 6-2 (and counting) Watkins just missed an easy 1 v 1.

 

And in our brave new world a division lower we score 2 in 4 games

 

Seven

 

Now 7-2 - what a season.

 

Well there goes our 3-0 boasting ability

 

Should be eight......I've watched football for years, but I don't think I've ever seen a couple of games like I've seen today.

 

Same, it’s like it’s suddenly turned into the NBA. I don’t understand it.

 

Wow

 

Genuinely flicked on super Sunday at 1pm and actually felt a little depressed when they said they had FOUR games coming up. Seven hours later it’s the most bizarre series of games I can remember.

 

This is a new virus doing the rounds - EPL 20 - highly contagious - thank God we can’t catch it.

 

What the actual fudge is going on? Can't just be the lack of a gap between the seasons can it?

Championship has been relatively normal number of goals (I think), so why just the Prem?

 

Villa hit the bar - honestly they could have scored 10 today. Liverpool defending like we do against Abu Dhabi

 

So how do we explain what’s going on? Short break? No fans? No motivation?

 

I wonder if Pep and Arteta are regretting engineering Watford's relegation by going weak against Villa and Bournemouth respectively then going full strength against us.

I would love it if Villa thrash City and Arsenal too. 100% record, with three wins out of three. Villa are now a much bigger threat to these sides than Watford ever would have been.

 

Just heard a Manure fan on a football phone-in saying he's stopped supporting them after today and will choose another team. He's considering Leeds.
A rare treat to hear a plastic admit he's a plastic.

 

We were the first. Nobody can take that away from us.

 

Carra has mentioned Watford twice as the point Liverpool started to get caught out with their high line.

 

Craig Shakespeare is a common denominator

 

I think the PL has been inspired by T20 cricket. Forget defending, just attack all the time.

 

I think you overestimate our goalscoring capabilities.

 

Lol at the idea of us beating even their reserve teams, City and Arsenal playing the kids doesn't make Craig Dawson a good defender all of a sudden

 

Probably because the Championship has crap strikers! I wouldn't say we're lucky to have 7 points from 4 games, but we've still seen some comical misses against us

 

Lets not forget we have made many more comical misses ourselves, and that is what we need to rectify and have needed to do for 2/3 seasons now

 

I feel the same way about it as I do about T20.

it doesn’t feel like “proper” football, more like a series of training games.

The sooner fans are back in stadiums the better.

 

Gutted about the results yesterday. Since relegation, I've reverted to supporting Liverpool and Man U. One of them usually wins every week so I get that endorphin hit but yesterday was a disaster.

 

Did anyone spot the mistake on MotD2 yesterday? In the Leicester v West Ham game the commentator said the first competitive game at the King Power (nee Walkers) Stadium was a 0-0 draw against the same opposition in 2004. However, many of us were at the actual first game two years earlier when Leicester beat us 2-0. I suspect the commentator had consulted the Soccerbase website, which does indeed claim that the latter game was played at Filbert Street.

 

We don't know that for sure and sadly will never do. Villa scored as many as goals in that game as they did in the last 12 of last season, how on earth did we contrive to let them off the hook?

 

Ouch - how long before we're not the poster boys for wilfully negligent spending?
