EPL Matchday 2

[SM]

Just watched the United highlights. Is Lindelol and Mackquire the least scary CB partnership in the league? They look like a couple of oaf's running about like headless chickens.

You're that kid in class who latches onto the joke everyone's throwing around and kills it stone cold through overuse.

 

[SM]

I believe it to be true. His calibre is well above Everton IMO

---
How were Fulham given a penalty? There was absolutely nothing in it and it just looked like a fell over. I'd be fuming if I was a Leeds fan and that cost us the game.

Great ball from Ceballos to play in Eddie. In the last few years we'd usually drop points in a game like that. Good to get the three points.

Unlucky penalty against United, very, very stiff on Lindelof.

I could say the same of PEA. [emoji2371]

He's at Everton because they're trying to go to the next level and are the only club willing to go and get him. He deserves to be there and they deserve him.

 

[SM]

Could you not say the same about PEA and Arsenal then?

Lol you beat me to it.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yep, you could definitely say the same about PEA.

 

[Blueboys11]

Finally they are going to start using VAR for goalkeepers off there line saving penalties. About time!

Also have they changed the way offsides are interpreted. I can’t possibly see how Auba was onside for the first goal. Are they ignoring the upper body of attackers now and giving the benefit of doubt to the attacking team?

Did he think he was in the penalty box or something?

 

[SM]

That should almost be a retrospective ban since he's trying to get the Palace player sent off. Embarrassing.

While I agree with you that the Fulham pen was soft, the interesting thing about is that Byram doesn't even appeal for it, he stumbles then gets back to his feet. Tells me that it wasn't simulation and there was genuine contact.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Did he think he was in the penalty box or something?

He got treatment on the other foot too

 

[Pykie]

That 100% should be a retrospective ban.

 

[RossFC]

Looks like Bruno's pinky got stomped on.

 

[LFC2010]

****ing cheat!

 

[QuietB]

I've only watched the highlights - absolute bullshit Palace got to take that penalty again.

United were terrible by the look of the highlights.

 

[jod23]

Actually disgusting.

Why?

 

[RossFC]

Blurry picture, but it looks like studs go into his foot.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Why does James start for utd? Lindelof hella suspect, really should have signed Gabriel

 

[RossFC]

Why does James start for utd?

I'm wondering the same thing too.

RPCB Were Greenwood and AWB on the bench due to little to no pre-season preparation?

I wish I knew the answer because that was a horrible side. The right side was particularly horrid. If AWD aNd Greenwood were fit enough to be on the bench, then they were fit enough to start. I can understand VDB not starting this morning but not AWB and Greenwood.

I would like to think that lineup this morning was a cry for new players from the manager.

And yes, with you guys. James is hopeless. We might as well just sign Usain Bolt if a fast runner is the skill set for starting for a club as big as Manchester United.

 

[Frank Bunn]

I'm missing the crowds booing. Hamish Rodriguez would be getting some stick even though it was deserved red card. But the Bruno Fernandes dive was on another level of cheating.

That's a bit of strange logic, just because someone is fit for a 20-30 minute cameo doesn't mean they're fit for 90 minutes.

Okay, fair enough. Yours is probably the right answer for why they didn’t start.

 

[Macpotata]

Man U lol. Suck it.

 

[RPCB]

Man U lol. Suck it.

I’d give you crap but I don’t know who you support. Or maybe that’s the whole point of not listing a club...

 

[DBAH0]

Pen or no Pen?
