Premier League 2023/2024

Certainly not looking forward to the game against this Everton, they look even more rough house than Forest!
We can’t take any more injuries or sendings off

 

[kd2000]

They’ve given Burnley a lot of joy down the wings, and if they do that for us you’d think Kulu/Richy/Johnson could get some joy for us.

Correct me if I'm wrong but because Johnson was a concussion substitute, isn't there mandatory period of two weeks or something before he can play again???

Or am I getting confused?

Some confusion over that but apparently he didn't have concussion , just a cut on the head. So says Ange anyway

Ange has said it was a sub for the cut, not a concussion one.

Would also depend on what form was filled in for the sun I think also.

No it wasnt a concussion sub...was just a nasty cut to the head.

Should be availble for Everton.

It constantly amazes me how 2 or 3 results, no matter the performance and the circumstances completely determine peoples' opinion on the final outcome of the season

I can understand pundits doing it for clicks/views but many of them seem to be genuine in their opinion. e.g. J Redknapp

For example, for me, we are 10+ points better side than Villa and they have a likely lengthy European campaign to contend with.

Yes they beat us but very fortunately and a Rodri-less and inconsistent Citeh (see today + many other results) and a still inconsistent Arse. They will probably lose a couple of games and those saying they're in the title fight will melt away and pretend it never happened

When Arse were briefly top we saw articles all over about their chances. + us. Not seen much about Liverpool to be fair but only because they and Citeh are expected to be challenging

Then on SC lots of people hoping for top 5 and that 5th gets CL, just because we had a few results that simply didn't reflect the game whatsoever. But saying those sides < 5 points ahead are well in the race

We are a very good side. We have probably had only 2-3 bad performances all season where we didn't deserve any points. Mostly caused by a terrible injury crisis. We will be right up there at the end. Still think only Citeh, if anybody, are likely to pull away and that's not happening at the moment

Won't be good if the three who came up all go back down again...but it looks like that will be the case.

Burnley in particular have been hugely disappointing since promotion.

 

[ernie78]

How is blasting the ball at the ref not a yellow?

 

[ajspurs]

I wonder if Burnley would ever pull the trigger on Kompany... They are for sure going down with him in charge but that will most likely be their fate irrespective of who's in charge. Plus, I guess with Kompany they may have quite a good chance of coming up from the Championship again.

In saying that though, if that were to happen they'd most likely go straight back down if they continue to try and play this way again

It was

 

[ernie78]

It was

Ha ha I must’ve missed that. Half watching it whilst putting kids to bed

 

[HNIM]

Whatever Everton are paying Dyche, it’s probably not enough.

It's all they can afford with FFP though!

Dyche doing an incredible job!!! Without the 10 point deduction they’d be 8/9th!

 

[Misfit]

Chelsea above Everton only because they've avoided being clobbered by FFP yet.

Spot on.

Most people react of media/pundits reaction....or react OTT to a couple of bad results because they cant see the wood from the trees

Not sure about City at the moment to be honest.

I don't think Kovacic or Nunes really added much to what they lost (Gundogan)

I think Pep really wanted Olise or a player of that mould and has had to make a compromise with Nunes.

I also think Kovacic is a bit of a stop gap until a better player emerges there.

Doku is great but not the finished article and in def transition he has work to do.

Their window was one of their least impressive ones.

At a time where others are getting better, this may be their 'off-season'

They will more than likely do some business in January though, surely. They never stand still.
