Re: Association Football Thread
Hello,
Arsenal can really ping the ball around - they're very fun to watch.
I wasn't surprised for United to go down - but the manner in which they failed was surprising. The first two goals are squarely on de Gea's shoulders. I would've thought he'd be a steady solid player.
Chelsea - Tottenham tomorrow.

Hello,
If you haven't watched the Newcastle - City game, find a replay - if for nothing else to see De Bruyne's pass.

Re: Association Football Thread
From what I saw it was a really good game, Newcastle are looking stronger and will no doubt continue to improve. I can't make my mind up about City yet, I'm not sure if they have gelled with Haaland yet. Having said that, if Foden would pass to him they would have won.

Well managed win for Manchester United today.
However headline of the day has to be this.
FA Cup: Blackfield & Langley FC goalkeeper sent off for urinating in a hedge.

Re: Association Football Thread
I'm surprised it happened so quickly but something has been off for a while. Chelsea are way too predictable and easy to defend against. They only look good when the other team attacks them and they have space to operate in - otherwise it's square pass after square pass. The first 70 minutes or so against West Ham were the worst I've seen in years.

But Chelsea look way off. 200 million on defenders and Aubameyang the new striker isn't great. The new owner hasn't really impressed so far.
I can only imagine they will try to tempt Pochetino as their next manager but that doesn't seem a good fit to me.

Re: Association Football Thread
Hello,
I was surprised with the call after VAR. I think Tuchel lost touch with the players. It started with Lukaku - he didn't fit what Tuchel wanted but they bought him anyway. I thought Lukaku could work in a specific role - when Chelsea needed someone up top to hold the ball. You could see Lukaku had checked out.

Not looking good. But he might survive if they can win some points after the international break. Some possibly winnable games. Thing is prior to Son coming on today they were in with a shout.Low Down Low wrote: ↑17 Sep 2022, 2:14pmBrendan Rogers is toast. Surprised if he's still in a job monday morning.

Re: Association Football Thread
Yeah, that's true, for a while they were looking dangerous enough until the collapse. I've always liked Rogers so i hope he can turn things around but I've seen guys sacked for a lot less too. I guess some owners can be more understanding than others.Marky Dread wrote: ↑17 Sep 2022, 2:43pmNot looking good. But he might survive if they can win some points after the international break.

Hello,
Rodgers' fate will depend if he's lost the locker room.
