EPL Matchday 11 - On Optus Sport

[Bradesmaen]

Do you even watch Everton games? They played a back 5 until the subs. There should always be an outnumber to retain possession from a short ball. But it's the same with Pickford whether it's for Everton or England. He hoofs it and they lose possession, which puts pressure back on the defence.

I don't hate Pickford. He's usually a good shot stopper. He needs to be told to give the ball to players who can retain possession.

Pickford is the best passer in our team. We played "back 5". Really it was a back 4 with McNeil playing halfway between wing back and winger, rather than a traditional wingback role.

You clearly have no one how Frank Lampard has got this team playing. We don't have the midfield to play from the back out so the idea against the top sides is to have Pickford lump it up long to get the team to push up. Otherwise we just invite pressure on ourselves. He has a 100% passing stat for balls between 15 and 30 yards... but yeah, it's all his fault he hoofs it.

Pickford is the best passer in our team.

If he is then Everton are really in trouble.

I see the same with Everton and England when Pickford's in goal. The defenders pass back to him, he hoofs it, they lose possession and come back under pressure.

The old dilemma of do I stay up to midnight to watch Leeds get flogged and then be tired and unproductive at work tomorrow or just get a good nights sleep and try and dodge the score until I get home and watch it tomorrow night…

Everton. Boring with a s**t manager.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

I have to believe Leeds can cause a boil over at Elland Rd.

We haven't come close to beating Arsenal yet since our return to the Premier League, but I am nothing if not an optimistic (okay maybe delusional too )

If you want I can arrange for a banner to be made for you tomorrow with the score on it. Good nights sleep and then I ruin your mood with the news of a 4-0 thrashing as you clock on.

The best we can hope for against City is a miracle draw. My dad (a Spurs fan) will be desperate for a City win, because Arsenal winning the league would enrage him.

This is gonna be painful

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Thanks Mings.

 

[Magma]

mings genuinely should get an assist for that the header was that bad

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Why can't they just cancel the game at Elland Rd and give Leeds and Arsenal a point each? Works for me

Thank you Elland Rd Technical Gremlins

Shoulda had a pen. Varane is woeful

 

[Elmer_Judd]

How long does a game have to be delayed before it is called off/postponed (for non weather reasons) ??

 

[Magma]

ref with an excellent block to allow southampton to score

 

[hawkman]

Nice block on Bowen by the ref to gift Southampton a goal

And KWP foot over the line from the throw in. Thanks VAR.

Can VAR review that though? Soucek had a chance to clear it anyway

Relax, it's not getting called off.
