Premier League 2023/2024

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

United playing like Palace yesterday.

It’s what Utd are nowadays. They sit deep, hit it long to Rashford and Garnacho.

Ten Hag tried to build more progressively at the beginning of this season and they were rubbish. Now he’s switched back and it tends to work well in games like this. Particularly when your opposition is blazing over tap-ins.

 

[dontcallme]

Not really the point but ok.

They could have anyone up front and they'd likely be in the top 3 scorers in the league.

You only have to look at recent history of their strikers to see that isn't true.

 

[tommo84]

Not even sure it's his worst half tbh, does this a lot. He offers very little other than finishing chances.

Agree. He’s nowhere near as complete a player as the other top number 9s of the last decade (Kane, Lewandowski, Benzema).

 

[easley91]

Easy scoring tap ins and penalties most weeks with the amount of chances City create

He just missed a sitter that should have been a tap in for him..

 

[aliyid]

It’s what makes a player like Rashford so infuriating, he can do things like that but then he’ll go missing for the next four games and just live off highlights of that strike

635 quid I win if City win.

Edgy lol

How are the nerves holding out? must be screaming at Haaland for some of those misses

 

[easley91]

Haaland is a goal scorer. He isn't someone who will constantly drop deep to link up and create. His one job is to be in the box to finish off the chances.

 

[dontcallme]

Agree. He’s nowhere near as complete a player as the other top number 9s of the last decade (Kane, Lewandowski, Benzema).

His league goalscoring rate in the Bundesliga and Prem in the last 5 seasons is consistently just under a goal a game. I think his managers are perfectly happy with his contribution.

 

[Jamturk]

How's he missed that, scoring is literally the only thing he does.

Bad decision making, went with a high foot instead of a low head.

 

[Blake Griffin]

doku looks so out of place in this city side.

he got a goal and 4 assists in a game against bournemouth but in the other 17 he has 1g 1a.

Reckon he'd have scored with a delicately placed nipple

 

[djhotspur]

Still top scorer in the Prem this season though.

I know but he’s missed so many chances and big chances in games they’ve lost etc

Prepared.

Probably end up a draw.

He's been very poor today. Every move that comes to him breaks down pretty sharpish.

Surprising that Pep persists with him.

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

A low block is so hard to break down, even City struggling.

Took City 71 minutes to break down Everton a few weeks ago, were not the only ones who find it hard.

Not at all relevant to what I’ve said but ok. Yes he’s usually lethal in the 18 yard box. Outside that he offers very little.

Wrexham are delighted with Paul Mullin and Leicester wouldn’t have won the league without Vardy, but that doesn’t make either of them a more complete player than Kane, Lewandowski or Benzema.

I'd prefer Grealish to breakdown a low block.

 

[dirtyh]

Haaland needs to fuck off back to ghostbusters 4. Flat track bully and no more.

 

[Kirito]

All he's supposed to do is stand 6 yards out and score goals.

Thats one of the worst misses I’ve ever seen. Could have just chested it in

This style doesn't really play to his strengths, looks a bit fed up stuck out so wide.

 

[talkshowhost86]

I understand its part of the game these days...but I fucking hate the low block
