    PL 2023/24 - Survival Battle

    in Premier League - English Football Forum

    Posted

    It's pretty clear-cut after the last set of results that it's Luton to follow Burnley & Sheff Utd in returning back to the EFL. Luton losing to West Ham pretty much resigns them back to life in the Championship, despite Forest also losing.

    - it's nigh on impossible but Luton have to beat Fulham and hope there's a 12-goal swing with a Forest loss to survive. Stranger things have happened xD

    PL 2023/24 - Race for Europe

    in Premier League - English Football Forum

    And here we are at the final games! Man City clawed back control to have 1st place and have their destiny in their own hands going into the final game by beating Fulham & Spurs. Liverpool already had 3rd place sewn up. Villa salvaged a draw over the Reds, but had to wait for Spurs to falter against Man City to confirm a top 4 place.

    Now it's between Spurs/Chelsea/Newcastle/Man Utd to see who will be playing in the Europa League or Europa Conference League...

    It's worth noting that if Man City win the FA Cup, a Europa League spot is given to 6th place. And as Liverpool won the EFL Cup, 7th place will have a Europa Conference League placing.

    - Tottenham just need to match Chelsea's result to confirm 5th place and a guaranteed Europa League place

    - Chelsea need to win and overturn a 10-goal deficit to finish 5th. To secure 6th, they need to make sure they match Newcastle's & Man Utd's results.

    - Newcastle can jump up to 6th place if they win and Chelsea lose, and potentially play in the Europa League if Man City win the FA Cup. They will stay in 7th if they match Man Utd's result

    - Man Utd can go up to 7th if they win and Newcastle draw/lose, or they draw and Newcastle lose. Man Utd would get a Europa Conference League spot if they finish in 7th should they fail to win the FA Cup. They will qualify for the Europa League regardless of their league finish if they win the FA Cup.

    Is it allowed to question De Zerbi's reputation? I find it weird how it's just accepted that he's linked with jobs like Liverpool and Bayern. From what I can see, he took over a Brighton side on the up, completed their journey to European qualification, fair enough, but they've been average at best this season and slipped into the Bournemouth/Wolves/Fulham tier of mid table. Think he's pretty overhyped if that's allowed.

    I think so. 

    For all the praise they get, they don't really seem to move forward in the league. Credit to them for getting into Europe, and their transfer/recruitment model is decent, but De Zerbi will be questioned even more you'd think if they don't start next season well. 

    VAR in the Premier League

    Goals being disallowed isn't a new concept.

    And VAR era incorrect decisions are nothing compared to how things were before. 

    A penalty being given for a foul outside the box, the wrong player being booked, a dive with no contact, an unseen handball. It'll at least be fun to see how many times these forgotten things turn back up and it'll be a nice experiment to see how long everyone stays happy without VAR.

    The biggest thing is not being able to celebrate a goal fully or properly because you know there'll be a pause. 

    And one way to appease the fans would be to have replays or videos shown at stadiums so fans know what exactly the decision-making process is. Everything currently is geared towards fans out of the stadium as opposed to inside it.

    As long as they keep semi-automated offsides and goalline technology then I'll be happy. 

    Most people know I've been a big proponent of VAR but how it's been in the last 12-18 months there's just not been enough improvement, consistency or common sense when it's used. Too many mistakes occurring now and too many hollow apologies. 

     

    Pep Leaves PL for RB Salzburg!

    Liverpool assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders has been appointed as Red Bull Salzburg's new head coach.

    The 41-year-old, who joined Liverpool in 2014, will go to the Austrian club this summer on a three-year deal.

    Lijnders, who is in his second stint at Anfield, had been set to leave the club following Jurgen Klopp's decision to step down.

    The Dutchman said he wants to create an attacking style of play at his new club "where passion and hunger for success are the basis of everything".

    Having initially worked under Brendan Rodgers, Lijnders remained a key part of Liverpool's backroom staff after Klopp's appointment in October 2015.

    He left the Reds for a brief stint as manager of Dutch club NEC Nijmegen but returned to Anfield seven months later to fill his previous role.

    Liverpool's development coach Vitor Matos will join Lijnders in the Austrian top-flight team as his assistant manager.

    How shite is the prem these days?

    in Premier League - English Football Forum

    It's not been the most competitive outside of the top 2/3 in recent seasons. 

    The gap between Championship and Premier League is widening, I think. It's ultra-competitive in the Championship as almost always there's battles going down right til the final day of the season (this season was a bit of an anomaly, mind). This means a 'weaker' side can often find themselves promoted almost as if they're not ready to be because of the gulf between the two leagues.

    The money in the game has corrupted it beyond the point of no return.

    I've seen so many fans waver with their support for the game these days, let alone support for their own team. And that's a sad time for the game because it's not what we all know it to be.
