Premier League 20/21: Gameweek 25 (Feb 19-23)

[Juan Matas Beard]

Dan James's resurgence.

That was an unfortunate pen for Willock to concede, think it was a bit of a dive personally.

I like Willock but he needs to smarten up. Has more potential than his detractors would give him credit but just needs to start playing in front of the game more, just plays in such a reactionary way and it affects him negatively IMO. Won't fulfill his potential until that happens.

he was scary good I thought until the first goal.

his tackling and pressing was spot-on.

He was as good as he can be in a Newcastle midfield that isn't really structured to keep possession nor attack space very well. Questions are asked about AMN's midfield journey at West Brom, but as terrible as their attack is, Big Sam's got much more balance in that midfield with AMN, Gallagher and that new DM they've got who's been pretty good. Newcastle need to drop one of guys like Shelvey and (unfortunately) Hayden, in favor of one of them Longstaff brothers, they're tidy and smart.

I do think he was quite good in terms of defending on the front foot but he was often too late to duels. Same issue, seems behind the game rather than ahead. Arguably he'd be better as a #6 for Newcastle at this point precisely because of that.

BBC asking for other rivalries just based on hatred rather than location, like Brighton v Palace tonight...loved this...

"Arsenal v Stoke...It's Football v Rugby, Light v Darkness, Beauty v Ugliness, Civilisation v Decay"

...Yup!

Fairies against Orcs?

No idea who this Palace striker is but that's a ridiculous goal

 

[avenellroad]

Damn, finish from Mateta

Brighton’s mediocre finishing will cost them getting a result in this game

 

[Macho]

lol Ayew bunning Burns just like Saka did.

That guy is a liability man, needs to play centrally or not at all.

 

[Rex Stone]

He was really good in Germany. As @Toby Andrl will tell you he’s a proper steal for Palace.

 

[avenellroad]

Dat guy is on

 

[A_G]

Nice goal Veltman

what is that music playing after the goal

 

[Riou]

Is that Dan Burn guy playing as a attacking wingback?

Would have loved to have seen Big Per charging down the wing, Arsène missed a trick there

 

[LG10]

Very much arteta in still but if he’s sacked (he won’t be) then I’m only taking potter as a replacement. Unbelievable what he’s produced with this Brighton team, if Sp**s go for him the league is in trouble.

 

[Gooner416]

His surname is too similar to Arteta's, hard pass.

 

[avenellroad]

God Palace are absolutely dreck to watch without Zaha

They’re a grim watch with him tbf

He's playing that same role Tierney started the season with, LCB. So, yeah kinda.

 

[avenellroad]

Jahanbaksh will definitely miss a sitter.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Everytime Brighton play they have at least 20 shots but very few on target its one of reasons why they struggling winning games just no finishers
