General Premier League Thread 2023-24 Mod Note in op 27/6/23 And 21/05/24

Yeah agreed.

Early in the season and I’m already convinced them and Everton are already gone.

Agreed, even 20 points seems a monumental task to that side, very very poor...

They won't sack him yet, Mourinho and particularly Ole were giving chance after chance. But it's very difficult to see it go on as it is for much longer, we're now a few months into his 2nd season and I'm still not fully sure what way he wants his team to set up...If you look at Ange at Spurs for example, it's very clear from the off what style he wants to implement on his Spurs side. Ten Haha seems to jump, from a counter attack with a low block, to a intensity press with a high line, they then try to play out from the back getting players in the ball into central positions (a bit like City) but within a few passes of this not working it's hoofed over the top every time. I was looking at their Brighton game a few weeks back and after 20 minutes of decent enough play, he decided to switch it up and went traditional with wingers getting to the by line and putting in cross after cross, this was after 20 minutes of decent play and actually creating chances going through the middle...

Poor Chris Basham, that's just dave buust style of horrible. Hopefully not a career ender but at 35, that's awful

McTominay winner assisted by Maguire saving Ten Hag.

Tis a funny old game

Happily scrolling through Facebook and somebody posted the pic. Horrific. Hope he can make a full recovery

Extraordinary injury given that there was no challenge from an opponent, unlike the Busst incident where there was an accidental collision between he and Schmeichel. It's hard to guess the extent of the (Basham) injury.

Just watching MOTD. Two of the players Ten Hag tried to get rid of, come to the rescue for him.

Bashams leg looked like a fcukin FIFA glitch. Awful

Was there not an incident in the Chelsea game yesterday where the referee stopped the game, after it has restarted, while the check on a goal was ongoing?

If so, it's clear that last week's incident has changed the rules. For the better.

That’s an astonishingly elementary viewpoint, don’t you think? I suppose using your own logic you probably think ten Hag picked attacking teams in the 3 games prior to the Brentford match since he only started 3 defenders in each of those matches?

How does Gross not even get a yellow for that penalty? He just hauled Szobolozi down as he was going to put it into the net? The keeper was out of position and only a defender on the line...
