2016-2017 Premier League Season Thread....and it's LIVE!

Marouane Fellaini | 2016/17 Performances

And these guys absolutely HATE Fellaini. And he's been getting praise all season, even today.

Nah. Debatable.

What?

They got 3 of the top 4 teams in the world

Their midtable teams are dominating and winning the Europa League 4 out of the last 5 years

They are 46-4 in the knockout stages the last few years against non-spanish teams

Tell me again how it's not

And this fukking Rooney situation is so frustrating. Rashford and Shaw good great link up play, how does Shaw come off. The thing with him, when shyt goes bad... there's always someone else there to take the hit because they did bad too.

You cats are conflating good teams with entertainment value. La Liga is good, but it's not Premier League status, best teams in the world or not. Deal with it.

He seemed like he was hungover. Totally out of it, I truly want to see his fukking forward pass stats, I don't remember one.

What do you make of out of position players?

Valencia
Blind

Idk I think Valencia coming up against a dominant attacking side put his defensive mettle to the test and he wasn't great. But he's our best option ATM and bar this game has been superb.

Blind is intelligent and technically great but this isn't his position. Either make him a CM option or whatever. Smelling gotta come back in I think, especially against these kinda teams.

Both teams exposed themselves today. Nothing special about either for all the money that's been pumped into both squads.

Financial doping for minimal gain. :WengerKnows:

He cost his team the match, he let De Bruyne ball freely untouched out there for 45 minutes

What I posted is the exact same shyt PL fanboys were saying back in 07 when they were dominating

Now all you got is "it's the most entertaining"

Premier League won't be that entertaining in the coming years judging by how easily City clowned their "biggest threat"

Because Blind gets bullied that's why. Fellaini was covering that fukking pitch. Pogba was lackadaisical all fukking game, who cares that he controlled the ball to go nowhere three times. He was easily the worst midfielder in the game. Hopefully now he got hit in the jaw, he can readjust his focus. And he has the most chances because he's a fukking ten. He gave away the ball countless of times, and if he wasn't Wayne Rooney there would be a chance he would have been taken off.

Its just a number and when you're a striker having the most assists/being the one creating the most chances for your team it says a lot about your midfield . I loved Pogbas ball control in the match but he was trash today but why is there praise for Fellaini? He covers the pitch but other than that what else does he do? Herrera plays that holding position better than he does

He had a bad game, albeit in the Manchester derby. But Pogba should NEVER be called a fraud.

With Valencia, he did the job a couple times in the box to get the ball. There was some crosses today that seemed like the bad Valencia where it didn't even beat the first man. His offense goes when he has to do real defensive work, and that's going to be a problem this year. If Fellaini can evolve, I don't see why Darmain can't get a shot to prove himself.
Blind is a tough one. He does the job, he can play the ball out of the back. We saw that ball he put on a platter for Rashford. But it seems like sometimes he just isn't physically gifted enough. All the intelligence in the world can't give you speed or strength. We saw last year when he got bullied by stronger strikers, and ran past multiple times.

To his credit though, after reading a post at Redcafe and hearing what the said at half, the first goal wasn't his fault. Pogba didn't stay on the cutting man which left everyone in the back vulnerable.

Messi wouldn't last a season in the Premier League. He knows it. That's why he's chillin at Barca for as long as his career lasts.
