The Official 2019/20 Premier League Thread

Two utterly s.hite teams. Watching that has left me feeling more hopeful than I have all season so far.

Solskjær blaming the linesman because his raised flag caused Ashley Young to hesitate and raise his hand instead of concentrating on his job. You don't stop until the ref blows his whistle.

 

[Kandi1977]

Again a strange one with VAR in mind, really what is the point of it?

I seems it's only for offside. All other incidents are ignored, so it has to be only for offsides.

Huh? That's not what he said in the Sky interview. He just said the same as in your last line; play until the ref blows.

The quote used in the Telegraph. Slightly exaggerated in their head line of course:

Ole Gunnar Solskjær points finger at assistant referee after VAR hands Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang equaliser.

“Ashley certainly holds his hand up because he looked straight at the linesman, maybe he hesitated a bit and maybe he could have got a block in.

“That’s no consolation for us and it was a perfectly good goal for them.

“He made an impact on the situation by raising his flag. When it is that way, he could wait and take it later but that’s up to the ref.

“A lot of the penalty decisions, if you don’t make it, you can’t really go back and have it. But it's a work in progress and they definitely deserved their goal today.”

Pepe cost how much?

£72m, in 6 handy £12m installments...

Xhaka is disgraceful and a horrible clam. Only just got booked and could have been a red. Should be off every single game for two yellows yet gets away with it every time.

Maybe thats why they made him captain, try and keep him on the field?

Leicester will be sixth minimum with their team and Rodgers as manager.

So they'd be first with any decent manager?

I seems it's only for offside. All other incidents are ignored, so it has to be only for offsides.

Which, of all the things it could and should be used for, it's the least likely to get right.

Burnley currently in the Top 4...unbelievable Jeff

 

[paxtonwolf]

Liverpool last minute penalty. And it continues

 

[paxtonwolf]

ffs. Just give them the trophy now

 

[Goose]

Even the scousers know that winning a penalty

 

[paxtonwolf]

Shocking and bizarrely the sort of penalties Leicester were getting awarded the season they won it

 

[Kandi1977]

Burnley currently in the Top 4...unbelievable Jeff

And we could be 11th by the end of tomorrow. Which is actually higher than we deserve to be.

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Terrible subs by Pep today. No idea why/how gundogen has been left on, he’s been terrible and generally is a level below his team mates when I’ve watched City.

 

[Seedy Ron]

Least it gives us a long time to get used to the Scouse bragging.

 

[markysimmo]

Arsenal scrape another win

 

[Robbo]

So despite our frankly horrific start to the season, we're actually only five points off second place. (and five points off the relegation zone, but that's a different matter)

Shows that apart from Liverpool, no team really has stood out in the PL this year.

Not that I think we will be able capitalise on this, mind you.

 

[PochettinoPochettinoPochettino]

I've said this before but we should have got Traore in. Old school rapid winger that we don't have anyone remotely similar to.
