[Albion] Premier League 3-5/2/24

[Eric the meek]

I like Antonio as a pundit. My first reaction was 'what the f is that beret doing there?'

But actually, if you listen to him, he offers good insights.

 

[Easy 10]

I disagree, a bit more than I agree. . . . He has all the mental attributes to be a Bobtalian Wunderkid (with a whiff of Andone - which is always a risk) but I just don't think he's good enough at sharp fast passing football to be in our starting 11.

Scored a great goal just now, but it didn't look particularly convincing or in any way authoritative to my eyes.

Agreed. He'll feed off the scraps from Brentfords hoofball, but he hasn't got the touch, composure or intelligence to fit in with our pop-pop-pop.

Agreed. I saw him on TV the other day and he was very good, as he has been tonight. I think he's worth listening to because he seems to give an honest insight into a current PL dressing room rather than a media-trained one.

Flekken is having the game of his life already

If you've watched much of Brentford's games this season, you'll realise that's not saying much.

Maupay is a text book something out of nothing striker… he’s never likely to smash in 15, but he has the uncanny knack of important goals at vital times… I’d have loved him to have been around for our semi final last year… just the type of game he’d have scored a 35 yard volley in.

But Potter coached something out of him errrrrrrrmmmm some edge, spirit and ultimately … goals, any of them - important or otherwise… he was an absolutely horrific coach for strikers, catastrophic even.

Potter stumbled over some good players, almost entirely by accident… others he simply turned vanilla, wraith like… like I say, it’s taken Neil 2 seasons to recover any of his former swagger.

Completely agree. The Magniliamaniac was good for 'team (soft) play' but not bite. Which is more of an NM trait

From the shots I've seen Maupay has Lady Di legs like Lineker, can't kick it more than 15 yards. Maybe you confused him with Jimmy Case in your first sentance

Yes, good observation. That could be what sets him apart.

He strikes me as somebody who will be a very good pundit in time, but who currently comes across as rather nervous- look at the mix up with Carragher's name earlier. Hopefully he relaxes a bit as I think what he has to say is pretty decent.

City 2-1.

 

[Eric the meek]

Foden free header. Unforgiveable by Brentford.

On a side note, and I know he has just returned, but Haaland seems to have lost something.

 

[AZ Gull]

And with that, this weekend matches the most number of goals scored in a Premier League round of fixtures.

 

[Javeaseagull]

Feck it. My main ambition in football is not winning a cup, winning in Europe. It’s smashing City. Do that and I will die happy.

That’s what i thought….natural i guess..large studio, where there aren’t any desks to sit behind ….standing totally exposed to millions of viewers

 

[Eric the meek]

That feckin Joey Barton has got us giving every new pundit a forensic examination.

 

[Mustafa II]

I hate Man City. They inevitably are going to win the Premier League yet again this season. It's so boring.

 

[Motogull]

Fukken Foden spoiling our fun.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I don't get the hype on Toney, he's a good player, but £100 million?

 

[Eric the meek]

Fukken Foden spoiling our fun.

They are relentless.

Looking down their teamsheet, there isn't a weakness. Haaland's off it today, and what happens? Foden steps up.

[Javeaseagull]

And we did our bit

 

[Triggaaar]

And we did our bit

To be fair, so did Palace

I know no one likes City but KDB is just a wonderful footballer. Love watching him.
