Premier League 2025/26 Thread

[CWC1983]

The EPL is becoming a league full of athletes that will run for 90 mins and stick to a system. 

 

Very little flair on show. 

 

Everton are terrible to watch.

Pickford looks like he's forgotten his kit and is wearing a small boy's

Everton playing better now, kdh pretty good aswell 

Is this sarcastic? Just a few minutes ago KDH was holding onto the ball for 20secs, backtracking, then he passed sideways and he made a run forwards just for the sake of it. Comedy Central material.

Nice from KDH.

Yes, masterclass. He can't beat a one man wall from a free kick, ball drops back to him and he manages to pass the ball into the box. Hooray! Give the lad another 20M contract. He earned it.

Maybe there will be a late goal but you probably would have got short odds on a 0/0.

[HybridFox]

That not a handball behave

[RowlattsFox]

Distance the ball travel means definitely a pen for me..

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

That's a pen, why is Hinchliffe not getting it

You’ve answered your own question bro

Think the fast deflection and him moving his arm away means it absolutely shouldn’t be 

[sdb]

Nah that's not a pen for me

[adam]

Clear handball and by the look on Tarkowski's face he knew it was handball. 

[Arkie Bennett]

Not sure where his arm is supposed to be if not close to his body.

This. Ask yourself what else could he have done in that situation

[Super_horns]

Very harsh on Everton I think?

[Samilktray]

Over the course of this weekends football I reckon I’ve watched about 1 game I’ve enjoyed and that was Liverpool on Friday

[Tuna]

Where were all the useless Premier League clubs delivering stinker performances against us last season? Everton absolutely useless.

[Torquay Gunner]

The only way Leeds were going to score, but probably serves Everton right. 

[moore_94]

He may be trying to move his arm beside his body but he is also leaning into it blocking the ball with his arm

 

I can see why they wouldn't overturn it

[adejo92]

Nevermind, Everton have been shit.

 

They'll still scrounge enough points to narrowly avoid another relegation.

The bloke leans into it, only reason the ball is blocked is because of his arm. You can't just stick your arm behind your back and go about blocking stuff with your upper arm citing that as a defence

 

I think it's unfortunate but I'd be fuming if city didn't get that

Not lean into the ball and block it with his arm, maybe?

Maybe try and use his feet?

This isn't a pen in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s but whatever, who cares. Because these millionaire wannabe footballers are useless let's change the rules so the sheep in the stadium have something to cheer for.
