2022-23 English Premier League Discussion Thread

Absolutely the right decision.
To be fair, Arsenal has had a couple of fines for players "harassing" the referee, but essentially every weekend and every game players of both teams are constantly swarming the ref after every decision.

As have Liverpool.

Because a ref is "harassed," it's now okay for him to elbow the "harasser?" If the incident was reversed, Robertson wouldn't be allowed to play for some time.

I don't think it was a malicious elbow.
Looked more like a "get off me" elbow.

Hodgson has done wonders at Palace already.

Is Vieira really that awful of a coach? That's 3 wins on the bounce, they hadn't won in 2023 prior to that.

Meanwhile, Villa are flying. Amazing what a good coach can do for your team.

I really can’t believe we are 6 points off the top 4. I keep saying it but Emery is that guy. He not only saved our season when he arrived, he also has us competing for a spot in Europe

Tbf, Palace had a really hard schedule.
They sacked Vieira at the time they would start the matches against the teams below them.

But fair play on Roy getting 9/9.

Chelsea sacking Potter was absolutely stupid.
Let the season play out and let him cook during preseason, while you get rid of a lot of players.
Get a striker, because Chelsea was actually creating a lot of chances (cfr. Xg).

Idiot owner makes idiot decisions. You love to see it.

Tuchel's points are keeping Chelsea from a hilarious relegation battle.

Arsenal blow another 2-0 lead after Saka hits a PK dreadfully wide. 20 mins left…

[Baphomet]

:o Arsenal blow another 2-0 lead after Saka hits a PK dreadfully wide. 20 mins left…

Can't believe what I just saw.

Moyes might have saved his job with that, big result in a relegation battle. Potentially scuppering Arsenal's title bid, too, but there's still lots of football to be played.

[SgtPepper]

They've lost it. This is the stage when Arsenal should have picked up easy points to sustain itself over the next difficult month. Liverpool infected them with Brendan's bottling curse last week.

[wco81]

Was that WHU penalty legit? Looked like the WH player made a poor first touch which went to another Arsenal defender before he was taken down.

[Baphomet]

Keylor Navas having a worldie against United

They're still losing 1-0 but Forest still have a chance when their keeper's playing like this

[MaliBrah]

it's looking spooky right now fellas. 2-0 and cruising again and we gear down and let them back in the game instead of being ruthless

Holding is killing us too man the drop off is just too much , he's an anchor. We cant sustain pressure and have our CBs high up and squeeze the field with him. 5'2 45 kg benrahma was bodying him around man. Haaland might kill us on the 26th and he's a goal away from breaking salah's record...

[The_Brecht]

The lack of depth is showing.

[Baseline81]

This Liverpool... beyond frustrating.

Emery has been a saviour for us...taken essentially the same squad (bar Moreno and rarely used Dhuran) and elevated us to 6th.

The game against Newcastle was a superb performance. The confidence and direction that he has installed in our players is phenominal. Can't wait to the offseason, where i expect at least 4 players to be added to the squad

He has always been a great coach, wrongly sacked from PSG without given time and strangely sacked from Arsenal.

Exactly and it’s only in the British media (mainly London based) that didn’t take to him, I never understood it. Anyone coming into a club (Arsenal) who have parted ways from a legendary manager will always find it a bit difficult to win everyone over. He’s at a club now that can really appreciate and embrace him

And this time next year he'll be poached.
