Newcastle looked decent in the first half but Liverpool are starting to take control. Ugh, think I’m going back to the Athletic Vs Real Madrid game

To be honest we aren’t winning the league this year so I’ll take a Liverpool win tonight as it:

a) beats a competitor in Newcastle

and

b) makes it even harder for Arsenal than it already is to try and catch them

Arsenal v United is a terrible game. Some dreadfully terrorist football so far
United have the excuse of adapting to a new system.

Whereas Arsenal's game plan is press high when opposition play out, drop if they get past first line and play for set pieces.

Meanwhile Arteta stands on touchline orchestrating everything.

I'm glad Slot is in the PL because it would have been insufferable watching Arteta and Arsenal dominate with this crap.

I don't even think Arsenal are pressing that high tonight, they seem happy to let United have the ball but neither team are doing anything with it.

This was the gamble Chelsea were taking.

Buy loads and loads of quality players and if they achieve something its pretty hard for any penalty to come into effect when they can just sell youth players and unwanted players who've made a name whilst being on loan.

They essentially looked at the flaws and loopholes of PSR and worked off that.

And selling buildings to themselves.

Wolves have conceded almost 2 goals per game.

Which is odd cause they've signed some decent players in midfield to make them solid and O'Neill has started his coaching career as being known as making his teams quite compact.

Just gotta hope Arsenal lose.

Go behind City and 12 off Liverpool.

Although a draw isn't bad to be fair.

Salah is just on another level to anyone else currently. Like a PlayStation player at the moment.
