Premier League 21/22


Recommended Posts

Leeds deserve so much credit for the way they’ve approached this season.
 

Bare bones all season and they’re still maintaining an entertaining style of play. 

 

Surely they’ve got enough missing to warrant calling games off yet, they’re playing with a depleted squad.

Rafa gone. Newcastle’s new owners wanted him back there when they took over but Everton weren’t interested in getting rid - Howe might be thinking he’s in line for a nice payout for a few weeks work now though!

Everton are in a lot of trouble, theyve recruited really poorly for a number of years now, expensive players that just arent very good or dont play due to long term injuries and theyve spaffed a fortune, they sacked the clown that recruited them all, but its late in the day and the damage is done.

From the Guardian 

 

He received personal abuse and threats before signing the contract in June 2021, and Merseyside police investigated a banner that warned “We know where you live” but was left outside the wrong house near the Spaniard’s family home in Wirral.

People take football far too seriously man 🤦‍♂️ 

 

Imagine threatening someone’s life over a sport

They could be well and truly in the brown stuff if this winless run carries on for another 4 or 5 games. The amount of money they’ve spent to be where they are is mind boggling. 
 

Speaking of teams on poor runs, it wouldn’t surprise me if Benitez is back at Newcastle before Easter… and then still takes them down

The ball was just about in and it lightly brushed past a player who knew nothing about it with his back to the play

 

I could understand if it had affected anything

 

It was indisputably offside, impossible to say otherwise. The player was standing well offside, pretty much on the goal line, and the ball touched him on the way in, so the offside had to be given. The fact that it'd have gone in if it hadn't touched him is irrelevant.

Well uncle Sam is being touted as a possible replacement for Raffa, seems Allardyce is the go to guy when the chips are down.

Benitez was a bonkers appointment destined for failure from the start. He’s definitely a manager whose stock has gradually fallen over the last 5 years. Players from many clubs he’s managed have had a problem with him at some point,

he’s like Mourinho without the charm

Everton have a decent first 11 and no depth. Calvert Lewin, Richarlison, Mina, Pickford, Godfrey, Dacoure, Allen are all decent players.

 

They’ve got a lot more than the bottom 4 that is anyway. 10th last season and that’s about right if they don’t have injuries.

 

It shows how hard it is to break in to the top sides as they’ve spent a lot just to tread water really

They’ve had a lot of injuries this year. Like you say, no squad depth. Reason they’re struggling.
