We Go Again! The 2014/15 Premier League Thread

First topic message reminder :

I know it's not premier league related, but I was just reading that both of Scunthorpes goalkeepers suffered broken arms in today's game.

Burnley level.

Queue scorched earth from Jose

Is that Matic suspended for the Captial One Cup? Chelsea 1-1 Burnley. I fear, if Chelsea drop points, City will hyped for a demolition job on us at 5.30.

by JDizzle Sat Feb 21, 2015 4:46 pm

Did Barnes not even get booked for his horror challenge on Matic?!

by GSC Sat Feb 21, 2015 4:47 pm

Bye QPR

Sherwood has a 0% win rate at Villa

Sherwood

Awful result for LVG

by kingraf Sat Feb 21, 2015 4:54 pm

Double over United. Barcelona lost... Basically the perfect footballing day. Now off to a party and I expect to come home with Agüero leading the golden boot race to top it all off.

Always fun to watch United lose, big chance for us to close the gap tomorrow now.

by mystiroakey Sat Feb 21, 2015 4:55 pm

Awww man,

Murray scores then sends one into the post. FFS.

At least we put on a performance.

by **hampo17** Sat Feb 21, 2015 5:00 pm

Dzeko and Aguero upfront for City then, can't claim a lack of match fitness for Bony.

by GSC Sat Feb 21, 2015 5:06 pm

Can claim a lack of familiarity with his teammates

It's why he made the goalkeeper sub, not to be clever but had they lost, everyone would be talking about that decision.

Exactly, the goalkeeper sub is just nonsense. There is a time where it will work and other times where it doesn't, you can't be a manager like that.

You're missing the point entirely, it wasn't nonsense at all, it took all the pressure off his team and put it on to him, had they lost then his ability would be questioned not the teams.

Oh yeah, he takes all the pressure off his team. To put it bluntly, you are just talking such a load of bullshít mate if I'm honest. He's just a poor manager, he's "genius" long ball tactics to Fellaini and unattractive football has much to be desired after this performance. Rather than trying to defend him with any old sh@t, just admit his style of football is poor and the results through United's quality don't always come. That's the only reason United are as high as they are, Moyes couldn't handle the quality and Van Gaal can, I'll give him that, but that's all I'll give him after what I saw today.

Always think for a player like Bony, who given the chance will score you goals you take that risk. Players are good enough to put the ball in the right areas and Bony is good enough to be there.

Matic shouldn't react like he does, just asking for trouble, but Jesus Christ. That's a horrific challenge from Barnes.

by GSC Sat Feb 21, 2015 5:14 pm

As will Dzeko or Aguero?

by GSC Sat Feb 21, 2015 5:16 pm

Looks bad, but I'd like to see a few more seconds at the beginning before I fully comment

By all accounts United played Swansea off the park.

Well considering how many results they have gotten this season that they, IMO, didn't deserve, I'm glad to see a reversal of fortune. Plus any of the top 4 chasers slipping up is a positive for Liverpool.

by **hampo17** Sat Feb 21, 2015 5:31 pm

@ Newcastle, superb penalty as well.

by Guest Sat Feb 21, 2015 5:32 pm

Hahah game over after 27 seconds

by **hampo17** Sat Feb 21, 2015 5:42 pm

Poor defending for both goals.

Stating the obvious there. We need a hammering to further show that Carver is so out of his depth

by **hampo17** Sat Feb 21, 2015 5:52 pm

3-0, I'm going for at least 7 in this one.

I beg your pardon, who do you think you are talking like that, tone it down you insufferable fool.

There is a strong difference between a long ball and a long pass, one is aimless the other is directed towards a player, we do the latter in the latter stages of games. For 75 minutes we were passing Swansea off the pitch and only profligate finishing stopped us winning convincingly but quite clearly you did not actually watch the game and are going by reports of the game which you seem to do a lot. Strange how you seem to watch games that are happening at the same time each and every week.

by mystiroakey Sat Feb 21, 2015 5:57 pm

LVG has one job and one job only and it's a simple pass or fail. Top 4 = pass. Worse = fail.

So IMO although I am not enjoying the football man U play. I will judge LVG at the end of the season, just like everyone will. It's a results business.

by **hampo17** Sat Feb 21, 2015 6:00 pm

LVG is far from a poor manager, you don't have a career as successful as he's had if you're a poor manager.

by GSC Sat Feb 21, 2015 6:00 pm

The media has fully bought into the bull**** LVG is spewing, and acting like hes a visionary for saying it.

Its like Mourinho always playing mind games when hes being a bell end in press conferences on a larger scale.

Its quite easy though when you are doing it with top players. I've said it about United this year, I'm not so sure its Van Gaal's philosophies that are making United better, just the fact they are going out there to play and their quality is showing them threw games rather than Van Gaal's philosophies.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Feb 21, 2015 6:38 pm

If it's easy to win with top players why do managers ever fail at big clubs?

by **hampo17** Sat Feb 21, 2015 6:40 pm

Exactly, can't just say it's easy at big clubs because too many managers have tried and failed.

You still watching John?

I don't care who I'm talking to. I'm assuming its an average human being, nothing special.

There is a difference, but I'm afraid United don't have one. Stoke and West Ham play long passes, United don't. The difference is, like you said, United do it in the 75th minute of games, that's the problem. Instead of sticking to their passing philosophy to open teams up, United panic, send Fellaini up top and just pump I in the box hoping for a lucky break and against West Ham, they got one (and West Brom away). Its not good football, its panic football and if teams are capable of dealing with United like they have today, United will struggle to pick up any points, nevermind just one point away from home.
