General Premier League Thread 2022-23 - mod note in OP 12/03/23

Because all you do is try and poke holes in EVERYTHING United related, it's absolutely hilarious to read tbh.

I just give an honest opinion

They had two super results this season using the counter attack, that pretty factually

I was hoping for a draw but if one team where to win I wanted it to be United today

When it comes to that poster, everything he says is very clear, back handed doesn't come close. I'm far from prickly BTW, I couldn't be more pleased as it happens.👌

I think they are better equipped this year, the problem they have is that Spurs and United look stronger than last year also. It is going to be a serious fight for top 4 this year. I don't think 1 or 2 teams will run away like the last few years. Hard to know what to make of Chelsea atm with all of the comings and goings. Liverpool stuttering also with injuries, some key players off form and trying tactical changes that are not clicking for us at all. City still comfortable favourites. Maybe they don't look as dominant or in control in general play as they are used to but they have Haaland who looks like he could break all scoring records for fun.

It's a huge question, it's exactly what a lot of people expected from Arsenal,

First bkg test and the blew it, now it's about how they respond

This will be the making of united - finally having someone in charge who has the balls to put Ronaldo on the bench.

They will.

Utd when the onus is on them will be more interesting. ETH has them organised enough for effective counter attacking football now, but what they do against teams that are more cautious wil be interesting.

Good game. Very good win for Utd.

When it comes to cautious teams we have a player that we haven't had in years that can play a pass through the lines in Eriksen.

You have to love Keane at times, you could see he was getting sick of listening to Mersons sH**e!! 🤣🤣

Kinda agree with Neville at end when he thinks that United will finish outside top 4. United had dig deep against Pool and Arsenal and I think that lack of presence in CM will cost us in end down road for top 4.

City, Pool are certs for top 4, Spurs should once no major injuries and its fight for that last spot. I would give Arsenal favs at moment from United and Chelsea.

I agree you have to earn it, although think ye will be ok.

I always had gut feeling that no team would run away with it easy as last 4 or 5 years have.

I would not press panic button at Anfield yet although like United I'm still surprised ye did not get another quality CM.

It's going to be a strange season. With the shortened preseason it's affecting all teams.

No team looks great and there seems to plenty of injuries going around and I bet both are linked to the shorter preseason.

Now with the WC in the middle of the season have clubs adjusted how they want their teams to peak/hit their stride? Normally you say the team flying at Christmas (not points in the board but rather how they look on the field) is the one looking most likely but will they now adjust to peak in late October and then again in March?

Like I said the other day I don't really get as much enjoyment out of games anymore with all the time wasting and feigning head injuries. Add that to the inconsistency with VAR and some days I'd rather just go cut the grass or walk the dogs or something.

If I was an Arsenal supporter I'd be more worried how the team dropped of a cliff mentally after the second goal. They were brilliant in spells before that but just turned to dust

We literally don't know if he'll be great yet. We don't know what we're seeing.

The current turnaround has been phenomenal, but he's proved nothing about his greatness or whether he can get Utd to where they want to be. He could be that guy ... but getting results Ole got in his early days, playing the same style of football Ole played, still proves very little in the grand scheme of things.

But it's been a feel good run of results that Utd desperately needed.
