EPL Matchday 10

[Bradesmaen]

Hahaha, you're amazing!

Said it about 4 years ago with kun aguero. But you know, keep playing the victim.

It's now been an entire year since Liverpool were last awarded a penalty at Anfield in the league. That seems improbable.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Disappointed Everton lost, but what at absolute beauty from Martial! When i saw that I thought "Fine, fair enough Everton lost .that deserved to be in the winning team."

 

[Shoei]

Shouldn't have stuck his foot out.

Both matchday commentators and 3 in-studio analysts all thought it was a penalty. So did I FWIW.

Beautifully skilled with his feet, Wilf loves running at nervous defenders, many of whom stick their foot out, just like Xhaka did (nice freekick by Granit BTW).

Cool story.

Yeah havent seen this mentioned much

Look who has a giant handful of Lacazette's shirt even before he jumped, Penalty every day of the week.

And lets not forget Ayew's blatant dive in the first half that should have been a second yellow, nor his trying to rip Holding's shirt off leading up to the corner for the penalty.

 

[Magma]

it's not even a good dive from zaha. but palace do get a lot of pens.

 

[jd2010]

Sissoko starts. Eriksen and Dele on the bench. Are we going to try and pretend this is a street fight?

 

[RPCB]

Riyad Mahrez opens the scoring for City and points to the skies. 1-0 after 5 minutes.

 

[jd2010]

Any less than 8-0 and i will be surprised

 

[jd2010]

20 minutes of the best of Mousa sissoko capped off with that cross lol. Keep going lad only he and Lamela at least look ready or like they give a s**t

 

[kreglze]

What is that pitch...
Surely this game could have been played elsewhere?

 

[Zidane98]

Still don't get why this game couldn't have been moved to early kick off on Saturday.

Yep, pretty idiotic of the FA to schedule this match at Wembley stadium the day after an NFL game, one that was scheduled back in April for yesterday. The Premier League fixture list was done in june so they knew about the NFL match way ahead of time.

Either this match should have been on the Saturday or this week should have been an away fixture for Spurs.

Yep, particularly with League Cup on Wednesday, giving both sides **** all rest

But NFL has to get priority

 

[jd2010]

Few NFL markings on the pitch and Sissoko has his best half for the club. Always knew he was a Tight-End being forced to play central midfield

To be fair NFL had the game locked in on Sunday and aren't responsible for the Spurs stadium issues.

12.30pm KO on Saturday was available though.

 

[Zidane98]

Have the Wembley staff not heard of green paint to hide the NFL markings?

 

[jd2010]

Lloris was more sober driving home from dinner a couple of months ago

 

[Zidane98]

Sissoko playing well on TV again?

 

[glenferry23]

This pitch....

 

[glenferry23]

Lamela, terrible miss. Big let off for City.

 

[moomba]

Feel a bit fortunate to get the win. Poor game for us. Pitch definitely had an impact, plus both fullbacks clearly getting on the pre game pints.

Important win though.

 

[go you pups]

Typical pre Poch Spursy effort that, had good chances but no one puts them away.

Can lock us in for 5th the way this is going

6 points dropped against the top 2 at home with basically all 3 of their goals coming off errors from defensive liabilities like Trippier, just not good enough.

 

[Zidane98]

Important win though.

EFA

 

[jd2010]

We could have stole a point there. Two big chances fluffed by Kane and Lamela. Can’t fault poch’s tactics here at all. Tried to stifle city and hit them on the counter. Not much he can do about individual errors in attack by twoof our best and then by Trippier twice in one play for the goal. With his frustrations finally being revealed I wonder if he walks to the RM job?

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

This pitch....

You ever heard of yellow text?
