2019/20 Premier League season

[Atavistic]

After the disaster before the international break, a point and a clean sheet away at Bournemouth is a good result that we can hopefully build on, particularly with a good number of our injured players coming back. We just have to hope Godfrey's knock wasn't anything serious, otherwise we have no fit senior centre backs on the books at all.

I'd be pretty happy with a point tommorrow, arsenal are obviously a country mile ahead quality wise but they can be absolutely dreadful away from home at times so hoping they have one of those nights. No where near sold out, the lowest home turnout so far this season but charging between £40 and £45 on a monday night wtf do they expect. If we lose that's 4 home losses on the spin, be a while since that happened I'd guess.

Think you'll win, a wet, miserable Monday night up North for Arsenal with a chance to go 3rd means they'll bottle it.

Apart from the fact it's not wet or miserable, it's quite a pleasant day but I hope your right.

 

[Super_horns]

Blades fully deserved to win that .

Well done .

 

[blademan89]

Cracking result at last.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Arsenal were disgraceful, they've been shite most of the season but a win last night and they'd have been 3rd, definitely shows the top 6 aren't very good this season. United were very well organised though fair play, Wilder needs to drop this whole 'we are an attacking team' though, since they've gone up I'd say there only slightly more entertaining to watch than Burnley, understandably considering the level.

We attack well when we can and try to attack as much as possible without opening up, you've got to remember over half the team playing have come from league one with us, it's an exceptional step up and one which they are doing very well, all down to him.

It's unbelievable the job he's done, be interesting to see what he does when the big offers start to come in for him. It took me a bit to realise that you had players like Basham looking like competent players in the Premier League, it just doesn't make sense.

Cant see any of the big clubs taking a gamble on him, I mean at the minute theres no point him leaving unless it's a so called big 6 club, they wont go for a 50 odd year old northerner. If he Carries on doing so well I'd like to see him get the england job.

Everton were interested before they went for Silva, Kenwright wanted him but the foreign owner wanted a bigger name at the time, can't see him leaving this season anyway.

Not sure hed leave for everton, he had the chance to talk to newcastle but declined although I suppose if he succeeded at everton maybe bigger things would come, hopefully he goes no where for years to come.

No he won’t but try to not get too disheartened. You keep clutching firmly onto that straw..

 

[Super_horns]

Ouch!

It's wet , windy and you are 5/0 down by half time at home ..

Poor Saints but what a performance by Leicester.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

That's how you make a point and take advantage of playing 10, Leicester look superb.

 

[Atavistic]

Crazy result, but a little annoying that it happens now as it probably means Southampton will have sacked their manager and got someone new in before we play them at the start of December.

Man Utd at home for us tomorrow. Sure, they may not be the threat they once were, but they've still got some excellent players who could easily cause us all sorts of problems. Thankfully Godfrey is fit after picking up a knock last week, so we do have a fit centre back available. Other injured players being back too does fill me with a little more confidence, but I'd still take a point if offered one from a match like this.

 

[chicowintry]

1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1

Man Utd goals scored over last 12 games. They seem to be really struggling for them so naturally putting everything I own on them scoring 4+ tomorrow...

Only 2 teams I'd take a point beforehand in this league everyone else is beatable and you even beat 1 of those 2.

 

[blademan89]

Unbeaten away record keeps rolling on, fully deserved draw, had some great chances , so did they to be fair but only once we had to go for it when losing, a win at home to burnley next week and it's been a tremendous start.

 

[Super_horns]

We can defend now but might do well to get into double figures for goals at this rate !

 

[Atavistic]

We're an absolute joke defensively. We're actually worse than Southampton which takes some doing. Let's just hope we don't concede 10 against someone this season (though I could easily see it happening at the rate we're going).

But this is what happens when you have the least amibitous owners in the top two tiers of English football, owners who time and time again fail to put any money in to try and make us remotely competitive when we go back up. Us being in the Premier League under them is a complete waste of time, for us and everyone else.

 

[Super_horns]

VAR giving penalties like confetti now !

 

[Atavistic]

VAR giving penalties like confetti now !

And neither of them should have ever been penalties, but I guess when it's Manchester United normal rules don't apply. Krul saving both acts as at least some justice, it's just a shame that the players in front of him are letting him down so badly yet again.

 

[blademan89]

We won't finish bottom. We may have the lowest budget, but our squad finished five points clear of Sheffield United for good reason.

That's not to say we won't struggle, as we obviously will after promotion, but I will confidently say that we won't finish below Sheffield United next season.

As for Patrick Roberts, I can't say I know much about him but his recent record with injuries is mildly concerning. But, it does show that we're not looking to change our attacking approach too much next season, which is vastly preferable to how we regressed under Chris Hughton or how Alex Neil gave up on his attacking style in our last Prem campaign.

Still confident mate

Still confident mate

At this stage I'm not even confident that we'll win another game this season. But being confident after such an unexpectedly good last season was only natural.

Fair play to your lot though, you're doing a hell of a lot better than most people would have ever expected.

We just keep it tight, you cannot attack like last year, when we had to attack yesterday we looked good and had a few great chances but got hit on the break 3 times and the game could be over, teams create absolutely nothing against us unless were going for it, that's the difference in divisions by a country mile, 1 area to the other in a few seconds. I'm fancying a 0-0 next week at home to burnley.

 

[chicowintry]

May as well just ask the Premier League/Football League now if City can forfeit their remaining games and rejoin the Championship. And if ever in the future they look in danger of promotion, dock ‘em enough points to remain down.

 

[blademan89]

What a day

 

[Super_horns]

Massive game next week ..

For 19th and 20th.

And it's live on Sky!!

Enjoy the three points. Our useless defence have gift-wrapped at least two goals for you already, and our attack won't be able to do anything in response.

Just need five more points to better Derby's total, but where that comes from I genuinely don't know.
