jim5000 Posted 25 September 2021 Share Posted 25 September 2021 (edited) Not the best start from us. Six games in and our form is matching the second half of the last two seasons.... Edited 25 September 2021 by jim5000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we're just getting our poor form out the way early this season and we'll be finishing this one strong? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the level of referring in England is pretty low at moment and has been for a while. It's not a conspiracy just general incompetence and a poor standard of referees. VAR isn't going to sort anything as the same referees are in control of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different people making different decisions. Easy as that really. I've always said if you take a shit ref and put him behind a screen (VAR), he's still gonna be shit (and influencing the game). VAR is shit but I don't know why people talk as if the referee's behind VAR aren't the issue. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalis Posted 26 September 2021 Share Posted 26 September 2021 Smash and grab from West Ham it seems. Leeds should have had that game won, bit like Newcastle against Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalis Posted 26 September 2021 Share Posted 26 September 2021 Also, this might be a bit left field but I thought there was a case for Antonio being sent off for their disallowed goal. He practically punches Meslier in the face but if it was two outfield players it probably would have been more of an incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted 26 September 2021 Share Posted 26 September 2021 I don't hugely like the arselicking Brentford get sometimes, but the way they've approached games really is good to watch. When you compare them to the time wasters we played today I really hope we see teams like Brentford rewarded for having a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted 26 September 2021 Share Posted 26 September 2021 It's easy to forget that they were unable to be as consistent as Norwich or Watford last season! Could end up following out path in 14/15 where we started well and then went missing for months I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duquesne Whistle Posted 26 September 2021 Share Posted 26 September 2021 There are plenty who don't like Guardiola's style of play. Boring passing for passing sake they say. When they get it right though, they look unstoppable. They handed Chelsea their arses yesterday on their own pitch, absolutely dominated them and should have won by a few. Tuchel actually had the grace to almost say as much, post match, without actually saying it literally. Bernardo Silva is an under-rated player for Man City. He was very good when they won the title three years ago with over 100 points, then largely had a poor season when Liverpool strolled it. Back to his best again last season and they win it again, great player who glues their game plan together when he's playing well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt Man City will still win the league, even without a striker. They're too good. I still think them and Liverpool are ahead of Chelsea. Not even giving Man Utd the time of day, they're nowhere near those three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pep really blew it in the Champions League final, they are streets ahead of Chelsea, despite recent results against them. Salah keeps Liverpool in the hunt, his numbers (and influence) in games is consistently remarkable. Don't care much for his propensity to go down easily, but he's a genuinely great player, if a little greedy. Man U are where Liverpool were 10 years ago, not at the races in terms of quality, vision or manager. Can't see Chelsea troubling the top two either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted 26 September 2021 Share Posted 26 September 2021 Seems weird to say this just on the back of one game? This is a Man City side who couldn't break down Southampton at home last week. I think the top 3 all have decent claims for the title and don't see there being a runaway this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_up_north Posted 26 September 2021 Share Posted 26 September 2021 6 games in and it's still too early to say yet. We might have a season where the big boys take points off each other. Man United, though, are not in it - for me. I do actually appreciate them because if you look there's youth and academy players in the team - I will always respect a club that does that. But they're also not working in any consistent way. West Ham, Brighton, Brentford - they may not have the players but there's consistency to their play. Plus seeing different faces breaking the top 6/7 is great. Just remember - we did it before it was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
