Premier League 25/26 Discussion

Good to hear, I only watched the extended highlights. It would be handy if Rodri would fuck his knee up again.

samthegooner

Personally I’ll be surprised if Rodri plays more than 70% of their games this year. We’ve seen the year after an ACL injury and it’s often filled with small to moderate muscle injuries like groin pulls that can be annoying to deal with. Reijnders is class and I was mad when they got him but he’s no peak KDB like he was being treated as yesterday. A Rodri-Reijnders-Bernardo midfield is definitely solid though. I still think defensively they are a bit weak as I don’t rate Dias anywhere near as highly as the popular consensus.

Burnwinter

Put very simply, Reijnders might not be that good in theory but he looked pretty fucking good flicking it from his right to his left to beat two defenders, then chipping it to Lewis as if he were Greg Norman.

I think Reijnders is exactly as good as he showed unfortunately. Bloke has no real weaknesses: he's as good as they come in any central mid position, whether it's attacking or defending. Just a complete footballer. A lot of people have been slow on the pickup because he's a late bloomer, but that seems to be the trend currently doesn't it?

I targeted him and picked him up in my Fantasy auction squad - very happy to have done so too. He had a good pre season for them too.

I didn't watch much Milan last season, but his stats certainly don't suggest that he's anything close to as good at defending as he is at attacking. Will probably do very well regardless, especially since City have so much possession.

Seems like a limitation in statistical breakdowns more than anything else. What's the point of looking at accumulative defensive stats when he predominantly played in an attacking position? They're always gonna be horrible. Whenever Milan asked him to play deeper he was excellent though.

Eze for Palace. Letting him go to Spurs will be a mistake. Especially because it solves a gaping hole in our own squad. So dumb.

TambourineMan

Goal disallowed. Absolutely ridiculous. Don't think I've ever seen that given.

GooneriC

That's crazy , it's the Chelsea play not strong enough there. Imagine that happens to us and Zubi they'll probably say he's too weak

tazmania

That's a slap in the face. Dumb reason to disallow

Coombs

Anyone else see Cucuboy's throw-in straight out for a goal kick?

RocktheCasbah

Nottingham Forest just had a penalty shout for a handball that I can't fathom for the life of me how the VAR hasn't given. Looked a textbook handball.

RocktheCasbah

2-0 Forest. Dan Ndoye header.

Might be offside.

RocktheCasbah

Goal given, lovely set up from Gibbs-White.

Dom

Palace are closer to Chelsea than Chelsea are to Arsenal.

Qwiss

Neto's diving is really pathetic. The Portuguese should be banned from football.

Dom

Wharton's vision and eye for a pass are outstanding. If he was more naturally athletic and mobile he'd have the talent to become one of the top CMs in the world.

Segway

Dom He's really good. Will be annoying to see him join one of our rivals in the future.

Qwiss

Dom talk is United are going for him this week after missing on Baleba.

Dom

Qwiss

Better than him going to Liverpool or City from an Arsenal POV, but that'd be an awful move for him.

Qwiss

That law 13 is some load of bollox. That said Guehi just pushes a hole in the wall, enough in it to give a free out regardless of that weird law.

RocktheCasbah

Qwiss yeah, having just seen it, given the rules, it's pretty clear the goal should be disallowed.

RowJimmy

Qwiss
Agree it looks a foul. But there's never a full meter between offensive players and the wall. Never ever.
