FOOTBALL English Premier League 23/24 Discussion

34 penalties in the Carabao Cup match between Preston and Fulham and Fulham are knocked out.

34 penalties, that's crazy.
 
3-1 at the San Siro - I'll take that.

Fairly dominant bar the first five minutes.

Jokes aside, that was extremely comfortable. First 5min were strange and Tsimikas got caught out but after that we were in cruise control. We were rarely under any sort of pressure.

I liked that Gakpo performance, really direct and had plenty of intent. Thought Konate was immense and Grav another standout game in the 6.

Trent and Mo still yet to really click into gear and Jota was concerningly anonymous, again.

Still plenty to improve on but take the points at the San Siro and move on to Bournemouth.

Gakpo really impressed me. Much better suited to the left than in the centre.

Grav is just amazing. What a start to the season he's having.

Praying Ibra doesn't pick up an injury, because man he looks good. Such a strong and intimidating presence to have at the back.

Yeah we need to be careful with Konate, he's proven he is not durable. On his day he's one of the best CBs in the world and he consistently outperforms VVD, I just wish he could stay fit long enough to prove it. There's a reason Deschamps preferred him to Saliba for so long.

I'm intrigued how we managed the midfield. Really concerned we don't have the depth to rotate without a big drop off, especially given the form Grav is in. It was telling that Slot didn't give Jones a run at all and we're barely seeing Endo. I'd like to see Szobo in the 6, I'm more and more convinced he's not a 10.

I think we can also put a line through Nunez for now. This was the perfect game for him to start but just seems he's not fancied at all.
 
That was a penalty when Bruno did it against Barcelona...
 
Very soft penalty and VAR took a long time checking it.
 
Holy **** what a double save from Raya!
 
Saves the initial shot and then manages to get up and get across to save the header.
 
Arsenal playing like a side that's playing City on the weekend.
 
Right approach from ten Hag. The kid needs it.

You could see in the first few games that by the 65th minute he's absolutely gassed because he's constantly had to try and cover for Casemiro's **** ups. He's only 19, we need to manage him better to avoid burnout.

Great result for them. Atalanta are one of the more dangerous sides in Europe. Probably could have won it but as you say, more important was getting through unscathed for City this weekend. I fully expect Arteta to play for a draw again.

I'm keen to watch the Palace v United game. Should be the first real indication as to whether United are any better with Ugarte. I'm reluctant to believe confidence is the only thing you guys needed to turn the corner but we'll find out!

Palace have had a tough start now the manager bounce has faded but did win this fixture last season so they'll be optimistic too.
 
That is some goal from Jiminez for Fulham.

VAR saves Liverpool early too.
 
How in the **** are we not winning this game comfortably 🙃
 
Should have won, I'll take a draw though. You at least get a point. Ten Hag needs to stop with the shit selections and subs, he's sacking himself.

The players stopped playing in the last 10 minutes and played for the draw.
