Guest Kopfkino Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 Really enjoyed Rafa on MNF. I don't get why Sky don't get more of that kind of stuff on and why so often its just tacked onto an infrequent MNF.
Leicesterpool Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 Everton going for Umi Emery would be strange, considering in some ways he's very similar to what they had with Silva. Doubt it will happen can't see him jumping from one club to another in a matter of a week. But who knows?

The majority of those games were against your traditional top-6 sides like Chelsea, Man Utd etc. who you'd expect to at least be able to hold out for a draw after leading at home at HT, even against another top-6 side. So whilst the stat looks bad at first it's not quite as damning as you might think. Would certainly be interesting to see how it compares to a similar side like Tottenham in the same period, but in all honesty I cba to look up their results Does suggest a potential mentality issue, though, that once they go behind they're not great at turning things around second-half. Which is hardly surprising from a team like Arsenal. Edited 10 December 2019 by Xen
Deeg67 Posted 10 December 2019 Posted 10 December 2019 Vitor Pereira looking like the next Everton manager. Interesting choice - another Portuguese coach, youngish. Seems to do well everywhere he arrives but for whatever reason (he's rumored to be a sullen bastard) burns his bridges very quickly.

Seems way too similar to what they've had that hasn't worked

For me it's Van Persie (v Villa) or Suarez (v Newcastle). Suarez' control was unbelievable. Wilshere against Norwich was brilliant as well. That Bale one v West Ham too - the ball is practically still and he somehow has to dig it from under his feet. Edited 10 December 2019 by Fox92

I do think we could have had a few of our team goals this season in there. However sky have gone for mainly belters from 25 yards :/
