Premier League 2022/23

[VoteMe4Prez]

And we managed to make United look like peak Barca. Just how?

Also, Vinicius for the winner

I saw this on teams most impacted by WC. Not sure it’s 100% up to date but it’s indicative.

Liverpool do well as they only have 3 real starters out there. Arsenal too with only 9 players but that’s pretty much their starting XI.

Arsenal:
9 players: Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli (both Brazil), Takehiro Tomiyasu (Japan), Granit Xhaka (Switzerland), William Saliba (France), Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White, Bukayo Saka (all England), Partey (Ghana)

Chelsea
12 players: Mateo Kovacic (Croatia), Thiago Silva (Brazil), Denis Zakaria (Switzerland), Christian Pulisic (USA), Hakim Ziyech (Morocco), Kai Havertz (Germany), Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher, Raheem Sterling (all England), Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly (both Senegal), Cesar Azpilicueta (Spain).

Liverpool:
7 players: Alisson, Fabinho (both Brazil), Ibrahima Konate (France), Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jordan Henderson (both England), Darwin Nunez (Uruguay), Virgil van Dijk (Netherlands).

Man City
16 players: Manuel Akanji (Switzerland), Ederson (Brazil), Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium), Ilkay Gundogan (Germany), John Stones, Kyle Walker, Kalvin Phillips, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish (all England), Joao Cancelo, Ruben Dias, Bernardo Silva (all Portugal), Nathan Ake (Netherlands), Aymeric Laporte and Rodri (both Spain), Julian Alvarez (Argentina).

Man Utd
14 players: Antony, Casemiro, Fred (all Brazil), Christian Eriksen (Denmark), Raphael Varane (France), Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford (all England), Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo (all Portugal), Tyrell Malacia (Netherlands), Lisandro Martinez (Argentina).

Newcastle United
5 players: Bruno Guimaraes (Brazil), Fabian Schar (Switzerland), Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Callum Wilson (all England).

Tottenham Hotspur
10 players: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (Denmark), Ivan Perisic (Croatia), Richarlison (Brazil), Ben Davies (Wales), Hugo Lloris (France), Eric Dier, Harry Kane (both England), Rodrigo Bentancur (Uruguay), Cristian Romero (Argentina), Son Heung-min (South Korea)

Interesting, looking at the countries represented, I expect a majority of those players to reach the knock-out stages as well.

I think Dan James would have been a good squad option.

Even as a RWB.

 

[slartibartfast]

I’m not even watching but I can just imagine the inane boring shite their waffling on about. Tyler makes it genuinely feel like he’s not interested in the actual match.

They were talking about what players who arent going to the world cup are gonna do, how they'll be training and hows that gonna work for those come back early.
Who gives a fuck???
Was like listening to two twats down the pub.

 

[DarwinSpur]

When James does that you can see why clubs are so interested.

It's the other 90% of his game though...

The other thing that will really matter is not just who is going - but how many minutes are they going to accumulate. Some of the players going, are not going to play much, either they are not regulars in the XI, or their teams will be out early.

 

[AJW]

Ffs…

 

[dagraham]

Oh just fuck off Utd.

 

[Setzthree]

Fucking hell.

 

[cjsimba]

Damn

 

[thebenjamin]

Ugh. Horrific end to the weekend. United absolutely diabolical but Eriksen goal and assist wins it. Those are really big points for United, I'm sure they'll spend another couple of hundred million in January.

 

[werty]

Damn.

 

[hughy]

That's got to hurt Fulham after last weekend.

 

[philll]

Oh piss off. My stream froze just as Fulham looked like they were in and it started again and United were celebrating.

 

[Marty]

I thought we were the only ones allowed late winners

 

[Setzthree]

Late winning goals for both Manchester teams vs Fulham. Ouch.

 

[rossdapep]

Fulham stretched themselves there

 

[easley91]

Undeserved but Garnacho looks good.

 

[thebenjamin]

Carlos Vinicius is such an incredibly bad player. If Jorge Mendes wasn't his agent I wonder what level he'd be playing at.
