General Premier League Thread 2023-24 Mod Note in op 27/6/23 And 21/05/24

There might be some validity to what you are saying then if KDB goes there but thats not the case and we both know it.

Was it fair when United adopted a similar approach with Antwerp in the past? Where you vehemently against it then? They may not have owned them but had huge power and developed lots of players there. Was that fair on the Belgian league?

Knicker, nickers, pathetic.

Yep because of fans like me they are getting away with it, whatever “it” maybe.

Its funny the little things you notice about other clubs when your own club is an absolute shambles.

Wolves creating tons of chances but their finishing/decision making near goal has been awful at times.

Wolves are atrocious at taking their chances.

least they took the 2 that mattered.

Ange ball...

What a joke.

Wolves playing to their potential or spurs go full spursy?

It's a tough loss for them. Their next 4 games after the international break are, Villa, City, West Ham and Newcastle... that's a tough run of fixtures!

Have a guess.....?

Monday night wasn’t a Spursy but today was . They won’t win next two either - villa and Man City

Wouldn’t be too hard on Spurs considering the players they’re missing - but Ange cannot continue to try and play the same way without those players.

The media reaction to how they lost on Monday was way overblown, and he needs to have a plan b for when it’s clearly not working.

People talk about these plan b's all the time. They were playing winning football and the players were all in and loved playing the system. It's belief that's needed, no doubting yourself and pulling the ball back when you should be playing it forward, no trying to take on a player when the system says pass it backwards.

Confidence in what you are doing is the most successful way to play football.

Look at Liverpool the other night, Klopp had no plan b, they just played the same way all through the game. Same with Alex Ferguson back in the day. He believed in his system and stuck with it.

Sometimes you plan before a game to use a different system but it's very rare that you see a team make huge alterations during a game and have success with it.

Just saw a mad stat - Man United are the form team in the PL over the last five games.

Given how poorly they are playing and how little they seem to be scoring I was actually shocked reading it.

thought var were gonna do their thing, but correct decision - goal stands.

if anything it was a newcastle handball.

as an aside, are the standards for an attacking and defending handball the same?

Bournemouth could’ve won by 5 or 6 here

will be interesting to see what managers newcastle are lining up.

not saying howe will be sacked right now, but they defo have a plan like city.

If Simeone hadn't just signed a new contract I'd have said he'd be number one priority.

Bryan Mbuemo has got an unreal first touch. Great footballer

Ah lads.

Another soft City penalty.

Unreal.

Both at it.

Ref gave that way too easily.

Bit of a joke that. They were both pulling at each other. If anything Haaland started it.

For whatever reason, City always get those decisions. It's actually remarkable, I've never seen a side get so many 50/50 go in their favour. Even Fergie's UTD had the odd decision go against them. Not this City side however...

he was in UAE recently reffing and living the dream.

that needs to be banned by the PL pronto.

chelsea score!

By the way, there's a part of me that doesn't care if it's a penalty, but they should probably think about giving it to other teams too.
