Premier League 2021/22 Thread

[Tommy Fresh]

I'm already excited for the year 2030, when the new series of Premier League Years starts beginning with this season and we can all reminisce about that time Salah hit the bar against us with numerous replays.

Arsenal celebrated like they had "won the league" - Wolves' Ruben Neves

"I didn't see Arsenal celebrating like this in the past 10 years - it was like they won the league."

 

Obviously didn't watch them celebrate in 2016 against us

Interesting analysis of where each team controls territory.

 

We're not too dissimilar to Southampton, Palace, Villa and Wolves. We seem to control the territory in the non dangerous area, around the back line. It show we work better attacking on the left than right, which I think people have picked up on this season, but the service to our strikers isn't great.

Excellent effort from Burnley to not even control their whole box

Wooof I thought the second yellow was harsh. Also can the Wolves player who took the throw in be booked for cheating/unsporting behaviour?  Going down like he's been clotheslined by the mountain!

Have you seen Podence? He's tiny at 5ft 5in!!

Sign him up! Brendan will probably think he's huge, and play him at centre-back.

Makes me want to play subbuteo again

[Nick]

Looking at Man U lining up in a 4231 and on current form and availability there’s not one Leicester player I can see getting in that side.

 

And to think they are only just scraping top four with the talent and money spent, it makes me think that some fans expectations are a little too great.

He obviously forgot his 2nd breakfast.

Wow that was hilarious.  McT makes 2nd foul in short succession, to me it was a yellow card but the ref wasn't going to give it.  but bc the player stays on the ground, as soon as they call the medical team on, he shows the yellow.  Absolutely crazy that a player reaction has any affect on that - you're literally rewarding players for faking injuries.

Might had more feedback from the 4th ref?  Man Utd are another team with the dirty tactical fouls, I see...

Looking at Southampton they are playing like we used to play the season before last. Very pleasant on the eye.  Why would their coach leave them for us?   No chance.

Quite gung ho. Imagine him with our current defence!

[Guest StevieLynex]

Hassenhuttl to replace Rodgers. He then replaces Iheanacho with Broja, Vestegaard with Bednarek, Tielemans with Ward-Prowse and Praet with Romeu

[Dahnsouff]

Nice goal

It just their final ball, just need that better quality upfront, shame they sold Ings. Even through they are a goal down, their still going forward so should be interesting second half.

Agree with you no chance he wants to come here, he doesn't want to reunite with Vesty & Bertrand who couldn't play his high press with pace football. Plus with the Saints new owners who want them to be the Redbulls of the EPL.... Hasenhuttl is perfect

Edit former Leicester born & bred player just scored!

Good build up play and goal. Southampton playing some lovely incisive football 

[mozartfox]

Gotta say, it is no coincidence that since Harry joined Manure they have been crap at the back.

[Ian Nacho]

How can Fernandes throw a punch and VAR not even look at it?

[Jimothy]

That's a red for Fernandes surely. He's thrown a punch, the fact he missed isn't relevant, the intent was there.

[Arkie Bennett]

Was Ratface not even booked for throwing that punch?

[Tommy Fresh]

Maguire not even attempting to get in the way of Southampton closing down De Gea there 

[Vacamion]

 

 

He’s a truly horrible wee scrote, and now he’s got away with that he’s almost bound to score.

Remember the fuss made when Amartey accidentally slapped De Bruyne round the back of the head

[lcfcsnow]

Real shame we didn't go for Che Adams, looks more suitable for us than Daka/Iheanacho currently and always looked a talent at Sheffield Utd, a Leicester lad too.
