Premier Lg EPL Matchday 8 - On Optus Sport

SA TIMES:

I am happy that the MD8 thread is up because we lost in MD7. But I am sad that the MD7 thread is done, because how can we possibly re-create the same magic moving forward in another MD thread?

The real question is why isn't the Spurs v Liverpool replay in this MD?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

One of the important 6 pointers for the toffees.

Between now and the end of the year have this game, Palace, Burnley, Forest and Wolves as must win games dispersed between City, United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Newcastle, Brighton.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

We aren’t beating Brentford.

 

[moomba]

Pleased for Kompany, despite the lack of results I reckon they've been OK. Have a lot of their tougher fixtures put of the way already too.

Onto this week, don't have a lot of confidence going into this one without Rodri. Draw would be a great result for us.

 

[Cruyff14]

Massive game against City. Rodri being out is a massive boost, but after Saka going off this morning, his fitness will be key. Partey next to Rice and Odegaard would be wonderful.

Spurs have the chance to go top if we draw - them beating Luton is almost a certainty I'd say.

 

[RPCB]

We aren’t beating Brentford.

Yep. We are cooked.

 

[jod23]

Gonna be interesting against Brighton who seem like a bit of a Jekyl and Hyde team at the moment.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Can we make it a hat-trick of locked matchday threads?

 

[hawkman]

Some really good games Sunday night. Saturday nights games much less interesting unless United and Chelsea lose

 

[samFFC]

Saka out makes that game much less intriguing
Get right game for City.


Also, how does Luton get midweek then early Saturday back to back?

It's a catchup game because their ground wasn't ready for the first home game.

It is only a Tuesday game, that would be classed as a long enough break. Would be no different to if they were play in a cup midweek

 

[jod23]

It's not confirmed Saka is out right?

Reckon City easily win on the weekend. No chance they lose three on the bounce. Oh wait they do have CL before so maybe win in the CL then lose on the weekend. Ok, could be an Arsenal win haha.

 

[Jatz]

What a ride that post was...

 

[Zidane98]

Arsenal probably need a big win over City mentally to challenge for the title again after going to water in the second half of the season. Didn't help with not buying help at CB in January with Holding not up to it.

Strange to be the first game though?

No-one would complain if it was on a Sunday but EPL gunna EPL.

 

[darth_timon]

Not convinced we can win at Brighton, though Brighton have blown hot and cold already this season.

Keep an eye on West Ham vs Newcastle. I reckon that will be a cracking game.

Arteta when assessing Saka’s injury and considering whether to start him or bring him off the bench v City.

“Just a simple yes or no”.

 

[Magma]

stones and silva being fit again makes me feel better about no rodri

Funny..... but true

Looking forward to the ongoing ManU train wreck against Brentford.

Its saying something that Chelsea have been shooting so poorly they couldn't hit the ground taking a piss, but have still scored as many goals as United.
