Premier League 22/23

Clrnc we did. they coughed up the ball plenty of times in their own half. our big problem was the confidence levels in our forward passing and finishing had evaporated. I'm not surprised they've been battered by everton and Newcastle lately, playing the way they do

It’s not all about finishing, Odegaard feigning a shot in the box counts as zero xG, messing up a 4 v 3 after winning the ball in the final third counts as 0xG. We had a few opportunities that didn’t lead to a shot.

Also it wasn’t a plucky Brighton are really great against Arsenal, the narrative was that Brighton were playing us off the park.

Clrnc

To be fair they pretty much did for 2nd half. Our possession for that half was the lowest for 3 years or something at home.

I do agree we tried somewhat to press them into mistake but we stopped doing that from the 2nd half onwards.

Yeah second half was awful but that was more about the energy just being sapped from the side (and the stadium) after their first goal imo.

Even then they barely generated any xG, what little they did came from unforced errors.

SimplyThePest

For me, our performance vs. Brighton was one that said we're gonna finish second no matter what, so who cares. I think we'd have handled them if we were actually on the job.

USArsenal

Haha 3-1 Brentford over Spurs. There's actually a chance that they do not qualify for any European competitions next season. Oh the irony.

Clrnc

Final home game of the season the players ends with huge boos. Hahahaha

They gonna finish in 10th

Clrnc Final home game of the season the players ends with huge boos. Hahahaha

Find it difficult to care too much about them when as dire as they have been we've still found a way to end the season as the laughing stock and meme. We shouldn't have the boos but don't really expect our final home game to go any better for us at this point.

lorddulaarsenal

Will stinky Spurs get in to Europe?

lorddulaarsenal

Would be funny for United not to get Champs League but then I remember how bitter Klopp is - fuck that bloke

Clrnc

Haha

Clrnc

Emery's Villa doing exactly the same as us, conceding in the 89th min to Firmino

USArsenal

Clrnc 1 point still puts them above Spurs

Clrnc

Ffs Wolves...

Burnwinter

Anyone who didn't agree with me Conte was fucking Spurs by walking out on them … what do you think now? By doing that he's just about cost them Europe let alone top four. What an absolute wastrel.

Qwiss

Burnwinter they've been miles worse since he left. Levy absolutely shit the bed by not getting in a proper caretaker or new manager.

KingslandBarge

Burnwinter him leaving did screw them over, though I do feel they were headed this way regardless. He couldn't stomach the stacked odds and saw it coming.

Qwiss

That's why it'd be a big mistake playing Rice as a 6.

Clrnc

Qwiss Yeah he gives quite abit in transition. Certainly not a pivot.

He has more goals and assists in him than Xhaka definitely

Burnwinter

Qwiss He demanded a huge payout for chickening out of a competitive and difficult run home, while abandoning his players and telling them they weren't good enough … all that despite having been so heavily backed. Utterly spineless, for me.

Clrnc

Evan Ferguson would be perfect to play as a striker for us.

Reminds me of a young Wayne Rooney

Carlos Alcaraz also would be a very smart buy for the 8 position. Been impressed with him since that fateful half at the Emirates
