Premier League 2024/25 - Gameweek 17 - 21-22nd December, 2024

[Rick]

Really want to see us put another couple past these lot, they have been shocking. 
 

1-5

[Dr. Gonzo]

I hope we don’t Spurs this up

[Dr. Gonzo]

This is a weird match 

[6666]

This Tottenham side could do better than lose 6-3 but this manager is managing them like they're a middle table side with no targets.

[Rick]

Poor to give them two feeble goals, but the win was vital. 

[Stan]

That was fun to watch.

I can't believe people defend Ange. They have good days and bad days but it doesn't matter if the net result is that they're bottom half when everyone has nearly played each other once.

[OrangeKhrush]

Liverpool are good in attack,  salah has to win the Balon dor

He should be sacked. Their results this season are terrible.

Didn't really know what to expect today and while the likes of Salah, Mac and Trent will get a lot of shouts today for me Dom and Ryan were immense today with Dom being more influential out of the two. He chased everyone and was around when the passes were needed as well.

Another solid weekend for us. I didn't see the game today but almost anyone in the league would take back to back draws with Arsenal and Chelsea let alone us in a relegation scrap. Slowly redeeming some of the damage done earlier in the season.

I hoped for a draw between Leicester and Wolves but Leicester getting battered is almost as good for us. I actually think they're worse than Ipswich overall. They got some very fortunate results earlier in the season when Southampton and Ipswich got red cards against them and they've already cashed in their new manager bounce which seems to have worn off.

Slowly feeling pretty comfortable that we should have enough this season.

My discontent with us is going from strength to strength. Genuinely saw Ward was starting and refused to watch our game. 0-3 at half time to one of the worst sides in the league sounds about on brand. Honeymoon period over for Van Nistelrooy already and to be honest with you, when you're making mistakes so amateurish, so inexplicable I find it hard to get on board at all.

Ward not only being here, but actually starting games for us in December 2024 tells you every single thing you need to know about the club. There is no ambition. It's a total fuck you to the fans, a massive corner cutting exercise because the people at the club can't be bothered to do their jobs properly.

This is a club that gave up years ago. I want this ownership gone. Go before you do any more damage to us.

He doesn't have any excuse not to be having a strong top four bid this season. He's competing against the worst Man City team since before they had oil money and a Man Utd team down in 13th. No excuse at all to not be clear of the likes of Forest and Bournemouth regardless of how impressive their over-performances have been this season so far.

I think we're the worst team in the league. I think you take Russell Martin and Mads Hermansen out of the equation we are worse than Southampton.

[RandoEFC+]

We were convinced after our Liverpool-Arsenal-Chelsea-City run that we'd be in the relegation zone after four defeats. It's not pretty but to be fair to the manager and our team, 2 points with the other 2 still to play is already much better than we could have expected overall.

The Man Utd result pisses me off even more as time passes. Bournemouth and Forest are better than us but not to the point where we should be getting turned over 4-0 at Old Trafford while they go there and win. It blows my mind the mental block we have with them. We've managed to get draws or wins off Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and City over the past few seasons yet every time we face Man Utd we let them turn us over 3-0 or 4-0. It's really pathetic from us.

Leicester getting tonked by a manager less team is a bit poor but Man United getting tonked at OT again by Bournemouth is great

We are always, without exception, the second most embarrassing team in the league on any given weekend. We never quite get the full heat we deserve.

When they lose to Liverpool in the league cup he'll be gone. I don't think they'll win the Europa League.

Genuinely never been this depressed over football. How many resets does it take? How can teams that have nowhere near the turnover we have consistently buy better, hungrier more talented players? We’re an utter fucking joke.

At least Amorim's actually sidelining a couple of the more significant figureheads. I'd feel a lot better about us if we were doing similar.

[RandoEFC+]

Just watching the highlights on YouTube.

Lisandro Martinez absolutely shits out of a challenge for Bournemouth's third goal. Proper disgraceful stuff. Amorim deserves a fair chance but you do wonder whether these manages that succeed in Europe just have no conception of what it's like to manage a beast of a club like Man Utd. This Rashford saga looks increasingly mad to me. He probably is a problem and he might even be the biggest individual problem in the squad but when you see some of the performances they keep turfing out there's no way you can convince me that singling Rashford out like this is going to be worthwhile.

Just seen all the Spurs Liverpool goals as well. The way Spurs set up against a team like Liverpool at this level is nothing less than criminal I'm afraid.

[RandoEFC+]

Wow, James Justin for the 2nd Wolves goal .

[LFCMike]

What a player. Up to 4th in the all time top scorers for Liverpool now too, ahead of Billy Liddell

But does he improve us?

Cannot believe he's this bad. I don't think Luton would have him back.

[Gunnersaurus]

Has anyone else noticed there was only won home win this week in the Premier league? 

[6666]

Salah has been insane this season. No one else is close for Player Of The Season. Has been crucial to Liverpool for a long time but seems to have gone up. level. Belongs in the conversation for best in the world.
