Premier League 2020/21 Thread

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Still no idea how Newcastle are in this division, easily the worst and most toothless side we faced in the league last season. Few late winners seemed to keep their heads above water. They're awful.

[Livid]

Got all 24 although eventually, there were a couple I had to think about and wasn’t too sure on.

Newcastle fan on the BBC sport site suggesting the goal was a foul by Chilwell?

 

"That goal should have been disallowed. Chilwell kicked the back of Fernandez's leg. Other way round that gets given as a penalty these days so when the defender gets kicked, even if it's barely anything, it has to be the same surely?"

Trouble is I think he'd already stuck the ball in his own net by then.

Do find it funny and almost, in fact very cringe the way the press are bigging up grealish because he did a few good things for a very average team last night (didn't watch the game but it xNt have been extra ordinary as they're saying, we didn't score) . I rate him highly but quoting romanticised Orwell literature about Southgate finally understanding he's decent (opening his eyes for a change) is a bit much, borderline pathetic when we were apparently so shit last night. 

Bit like Rashford, Sterling and Sancho then

Grealish has been doing great things for Villa for a while, sancho this season hasn’t started great admittedly but been one of the best young players in the world, with an amazing contribution being involved with lots of goals Dortmund have scored. Rashford fair on that one but shows potential and does have ability, the Man U side though isn’t great in general. Sterling has been one of the best performers for Man City over the last couple of seasons...

I guess that is what VAR does now - everyone looks to see where a goal can be disallowed.

 

Again is comes down to how they use the clear and obvious idea - was it?

 

If it had been chalked off people would have complained that it "isn't in the spirit of  the game"

It isn’t a foul for me.... the defending was just absolutely terrible

It's probably a fair point that a penalty would be given with a similar sort of contact. Still don't think it should be disallowed though, it's a ball across the six yard box, there is going to be some sort of contact between players.

Got everyone except Huddersfield.

Taking into account outlay and value for money (adjusted for inflation) - is Joelinton the worst signing in Premier League history?

[foxes_rule1978]

What the hell os Werner doing, does he want to score  

[foxes_rule1978]

Newcastle can score here, but then with joelinton maybe not  

[Nalis]

Newcastle have had a couple of decent chances out of nowhere, both wasted.

[Hales]

How have newcastle not equalised? 

[foxes_rule1978]

Great great goal 2 nil 

[Dahnsouff]

Starting to think Joseph Linton is not up to standard

[Nalis]

Great defence there, back off and just let Werner run past, should have brought him down for a yellow.

 

Decent finish though.

Brilliant from Werner, great pace. He doesn't look like he should be as quick as he is. Should've been fouled though I guess.

Kepa has to be up there surely?

Great player, even though he hasn’t been at his best today he will still make things happen

Maguire is

Werner, in terms of how he plays and looks, reminds me of a young Mark Robins

You aware of the ever-obliging Leicester City thread? 🤦🏻‍♂️
