Matchday 31

[Art Vandelay_]

Do you have to bring up how bad Richmond are in the Association Football Matchday threads? I can't escape it

It was on topic of sorts this time I swear. Highlighting what can occur when one team is gash for decades (Spurs and Richmond) whilst the other is successful over decades (LFC and GFC). Means little for 2016 given improvements at Richmond and means little given the respective turns in fortunes of Liverpool and Spurs in recent seasons. That was my point.

Still not an easy place to travel though.

Welbeck might not be the greatest of finishers, but gee he works hard. Need more players with his work rate.

Reminds me of Dirk Kuyt. If Welbeck can make a similar contribution to Arsenal you'll be pretty happy. Every club needs their work horses. Not everyone can be a star.

 

[RossFC]

Like the look of Evertons back 4

lol I say this and they get torn early.

 

[Zidane98]

Not a foul.

Just saying you have a poor record at Anfield. If you have a trip to Chelsea too and your record is woeful there. You're gonna need Leicester to capitulate a bit.

I would put our chances of winning the league at no more than 20%. Leicester will drop points, but so will we will. I can't see how Leicester can drop 5 more points than we do which what it takes for us to be champions (assuming Arse and City are out if it now)

Honestly, not even worried about the title. We need Leicester to slip up and play near perfectly in the process. Unlikely to happen from here.

The damage most likely has already been done in that regard.

Does that make our season a failure. No it does not. 5th (should have been 6th if not for Stoke 6-1 over Liverpool) to 2rd-3rd and possibly beating Arsenal is marked improvement not to be sneezed at given iirc we've spent less than we've sold players for under the 4 transfer windows with Poch.

Besic has had a shocker first 15mins

 

[Zidane98]

Haha commentators calling Welbeck a fresh signing.

I never said your season was a failure. You're having a great season. Still in with a shout for the league title but you have a tough run in.

 

[RossFC]

Barry is a massive loss atm for them.

Hence why I am still furious we played the reserves v Dortmund.

We may still be in had we bothered to send out the line up used in the latest NLD.

May have still gone out but 5 points behind a side that's taking full advantage of squeaky bum time and doesn't look like dropping points and then tanking the Europa League. makes no sense, especially given he rested half the first team, so managed to bottle tanking

Everton are playing terrible, walking around like a bunch of wounded ducks.

Yeah id be pretty annoyed if I were a Spurs fans sending out a second string side against Dortmund. Ruined the tie. Ruined it for fans too.

 

[RossFC]

Maybe they should bring on Deulofeu in the 2nd half, could give them a spark up the field.

 

[RossFC]

Top defending from Gabriel

 

[Cruyff14]

This game is the exact opposite to how I thought it would be.

We're all over them for the most part.

 

[RossFC]

I reckon Sanchez just lost his feet, not a pen though.

 

[Latro]

Everton are awful at home.

 

[Cruyff14]

Alexis on the right is much better. **** Theo off and keep Iwobi on the left.

 

[RossFC]

Elneny putting in a good shift atm, defending and pressing well.

 

[Cruyff14]

IWOBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Everton are crap.

 

[tigs2010]

Iwobi!!!!

 

[Zidane98]

Gst in young lad. Great finish. Blue shites back to normal.
