The game in Denmark was meaningless there was no need to field Fabinho , Jota , Salah the Group was won and at that decision Jota is out for two months injured. Well yes, injuries happen and perhaps Liverpool were lucky last year that they avoided those types of "tackles". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A wehatethehibs Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 What about Arsenal. Seeing some parallels with Hearts season last year. Aging Center half given new contract, should’ve been binned - Luiz, Berra Old midfielder signed with big reputation and big expectations, offered very little - Willian, Whelan Expensive total flop - Pepe, Damour High wage high profile striker not firing on all cylinders - Aubamayang, Naismith Young players looking good but not influential enough to turn round results - Saka, Hickey And then the most obvious parallel, they can’t buy a win or score a goal, even against bottom of the league sides! I suppose there’s one thing that will keep Arsenal afloat that Hearts didn’t have, they actually have someone playing in goals rather than a hologram. But still... has to be the worst Arsenal team any of us have ever seen. Hard to fathom there are players there on £300k a week. If Arteta is binned, they better hope they don’t make the wrong appointment like we did with Stendel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Be interesting to see if anyone can build a gap at the top. Tottenham and Liverpool had the chance to go 4 points clear on Sunday. So far there's too much quality in the league. Wolves v Chelsea this evening a case in point. The sort of game Chelsea need to win to be league winners. But they are still contenders if they lose.

Players (mostly) accepted wages cuts on basis there would be no redundancies. Arsenal then made a load of staff redundant. Interesting what the players think of that.

CJGJ Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 West Brom keeper plays an blinder and it finishes 1-1 away to Manchester City With Chelsea's earlier defeat at Wolves things at the top are simply too tight to call A season for a surprise winner once more like Spurs ?

A_A wehatethehibs Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Why do the English commentators cream themselves over West Brom getting a draw at Man City. They act like it’s the greatest sporting achievement since Jesse Owens won the gold medal at the Berlin Olympics. A simple good team performance against a dull city side, not that much a surprise.

Lets see if the media now move on to Frank or will they accept the message as genuine ? Frank Lampard says his Chelsea players may be suffering from fatigue after Wolves came from behind to beat the Blues with an added-time winner. Pedro Neto's 95th-minute strike gave the hosts a dramatic victory at Molineux and stopped Lampard's side going top of the Premier League. It is a second successive defeat for Chelsea after they were beaten at Everton on Saturday, another game in which they could have gone top of the table. "There could be some fatigue," said Lampard, whose side have already played five games in December. "I hate to say it after a defeat because it feels like an excuse but even in the first 60 minutes when we were the better team, we didn't have a zip about us. "We've travelled up to Everton, came back and then travelled to Wolves but everyone is in the same boat. "We have a couple of injuries in areas which means I can't make too many changes so I understand that side of it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 If Spurs can’t sniff this may be their best chance for a title, it proves they’ve not got the minerals for the slog. Although everyone’s dropping points here and there, I think slowly but surely Liverpool and Spurs may start edging away from the pack. Then it comes down to whether they’ve got the nerve to maintain solid form. Its early days and you can’t discount the usual suspects coming through with a push later on (Chelsea, Man City) but general performances suggest Liv and Tot look the strongest just now.
