Mourinho rolled out a Dier/Sissoko midfield pairing against Chelsea that couldn't pass their way out of a paper bag. Chelsea rightfully pressed high and kicked our ass. Spurs looked poor against Brighton today until they took out Winks for Eriksen. Edited December 26, 20195 yr by Schulz2.0

And you are correct when all the players are bought in and know their roll there is nothing better than watching a team run their system to perfection or as close to it as you can get.
December 27, 20195 yr Author This encroachment rule is fucking abysmal. If both teams have 3 guys each early in the box how do you punish the defending team?
December 27, 20195 yr Author Saved penalties should just be a goal kick with these rules. Eliminates anyone running into the box.
December 27, 20195 yr the thing is it doesn't matter how early you cheat in to the box if there is no rebound. no fucking common sense at all. this has been a wild game. wolves are just as much a threat to grab 4th as city are to catch pool. both need 3 every match for months.
December 27, 20195 yr Just now, Firemans4Horn said: Traore has been world class tonight. i'd love to see him beat the shit out of alleged tough guy Kyle Walker.
December 27, 20195 yr How did the rest of your morning go?Predictably. No way Liverpool doesn’t win it all now. Impossible for them to screw it up with this lead.
December 28, 20195 yr Author That was a great goal by Mooy. I see Bournemouth going down. They have no attacking firepower and a ton of injuries.
December 28, 20195 yr We'll see how the other games play out but after the horrible start my everton top 6 prediction might work out...5 pts back but wolves, Sheffield and manu still have to play the 20th game Make that 4pts if spurs dont equalize/win now
December 28, 20195 yr Atkinson would never do this. It'd take about 20 mins to discuss all the shit calls he makes during a match.
December 28, 20195 yr Author Burnley are garbage. I don’t like united but can’t stand for the type of football Burnley play.
December 28, 20195 yr Agreed. Boring AF. Norwich sucks, but I can at least be entertained by their matches.

December 29, 20195 yr First VAR check made sense. Disallowing the Wolves goal was ridiculous. This is like the out of bounds reviews in college basketball and the NBA.

December 29, 20195 yr It's one thing when it's just blatantly a bad call or someone is obviously offsides and the linesman misses it. But fractions of a body being off is ridiculous. I agree with Robbie, the rule needs to be changed to a foot offside and not this fraction of an inch of skin. The EPL has to fix this with VAR. It's ridiculous that a brilliant series by the Wolves is disallowed on a minor technicality. Edited December 29, 20195 yr by mdmost
December 29, 20195 yr The aspect of VAR that I never see discussed is how do you determine when the ball contact is measured? There’s a window of time (however small) when the foot is in contact with the ball and then the ball leaves the foot. There’s some wiggle room there that could be the difference between off side or not.
December 29, 20195 yr taylor twellman has as much of a right to an opinion on anything prem as the entire sec has a right to an opinion on anything in college football.
