The English Premier League 2016/17™

Two teams badly coached. A load of me bollox.

I hope Sterling breaks his leg.

Arsenal were terrible. Did they have a shot on target other than the goal? They don’t deserve Sanchez

Terribly disappointing second half, poor passing, poor pressing of the ball. Fitness looks a bit of an issue too but taking off Iwobi was also a strange call.
Giroud needs to start games if Ozil is going to put in dismal effort like today.

Ozil is always going to be terrible if you just allow the other team to have the ball as Arsenal did. He’s shite when the other team has the ball and always has been. He touched the ball more in the last 15 minutes than he did in the rest of the game

When will the Arsenal fans make their board know enough is enough with Wenger?

And Ozil wants £300k a week.

Hopefully no time soon … ho ho ho

In fairness, the Woolwich fans were loud and clear about it last season. Woolwich don’t compete to win the league. Fourth place finish and a last 16 in the European Cup is a successful season for the Woolwich hierarchy. Chelsea and the two Manchester’s are on a different level from the rest in terms of capacity to lash the cash on transfer fees, wages and unreasonable owners.

Arsenal are in every bit as strong a position as Chelsea and can easily compete with City and United.

The problem is that the highest paid person at Arsenal is a manager who hasn’t won a league title in 10 years yet they are dithering over giving one of the best players in the world the salary he deserves relative to the market it out there.

They can afford to give Sanchez what he wants to stay but Wenger might be worried about his own finances as a result. Does Wenger have a big shareholding in Arsenal?

Its actually coming up on 13 seasons now since Woolwich won the title. Exactly the same timeframe that Abramovich has been at Chelsea. Despite Chelsea’s status as probably the most successful English side domestically and in Europe over that 13 year period, having won f*ck all in their previous 90 year existence, Abramovich has still seen fit to fire something like 10 managers. Maybe Abramovich should give Wenger a run at it, the next time he’s hiring a manager.

Why would he do that?

Wenger is afraid to spend because of the pressure and expectancy it brings, Arsenal can afford to push the boat out further but Wenger is intimidated by the prospect.

Both City goals offside today according to Wenger.

Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Milner, Klavan, Lovren, Clyne, Winaldum, Henderson, Lallana, Firmino, Origi & Mané
Everton XI: Stekelenburg, Coleman, Funes Mori, Williams, Baines, Gana, McCarthy, Lennon, Barkley, Valencia & Lukaku

Coleman has started excellently here. McCarthy is snapping into tackles too.
