[Albion] Premier League 9-10/12/23

[birthofanorange]

We hammered everyone earlier in the season with the proper squad.

And? Why do you assume that would continue?

 

[Justice]

Newcastle have to be one of the worst away sides in the league even with a full squad.

How much was Udogie in that window ?

You've waited 5 years for that first post, and it was worth waiting for.

What has happened to Fulham?

Some good coaching done over the International break, apparently, playing Bassey in his natural position (a few on here were happy Albion 'dodged a bullet ' there) & Jiminez getting goals and confidence. Also Iwobi and Cairney playing out of their skins.

 

[Motogull]

I'm tried to decide which weekend result is most pleasing:
Man Utd 0-3
West Ham 0-5
Chelsea 0-2
Palace 1-2

Tremendous to have the choice.

Ayew being a prat giving Liverpool an extra man to win must be the winner.

How is that not a red from Romero?

And? Why do you assume that would continue?

Why wouldn’t it? Enciso was on another level, Lamptey was a constant threat with his blistering pace, Pervis huge miss frees up Mitoma to do more damage than he already does. Welbeck big miss for us Ferguson can’t hold the ball up and bring others in to the game, he’s like another midfielder/striker when fit.

Send the keeper off! (Not because it was that bad a challenge, but because they're already down Pope, them losing another goalkeeper weakens them more!)

 

[Drebin]

He’s a thug. Nowhere near the ball. Knew exactly what he was doing.

 

[Stat Brother]

If IF we win on Thursday, we have 11 league games before the last 16.

Arguably only one of those, the first one, Arsenal, is the game we'll not be favourites to win.

Obviously the Albion won't win 10 of 11, but it shows the importance of winning on Thursday and kicking on from there.
Although that said, I can easily imagine RDZ dividing the season along similar lines and expecting the first part of 2024 being the biggest haul of points.

 

[The Fits]

He’s a thug. Nowhere near the ball. Knew exactly what he was doing.

Insane. Ball nowhere to be seen, over the top, straight on the ankle. Possibly the most blatant red you could ever see.

 

[Gazwag]

Hung in the morning, you're getting hung in the morning

 

[The Hermit Kingdom]

Would love it, love it, if the Saudis pulled out of sinking ship NUFC.

Because football doesn't follow those rules.
Yes, we would be better equipped, but we could just as easily lose or draw matches, with or without them...and have done.

Harking back to the Potter ‘glory days’ already

Forest and Chelsea are joint last for EPL points for the calendar year (excluding relegated and promoted teams)

 

[The Fits]

I think we will concede over 5 against Spurs.

 

[Right Back]

We will beat Spurs. They are very different away from home and we will have a week to prepare.

 

[Stat Brother]

I think we will concede over 5 against Spurs.

I think you have a severe case of Recency Bias.

 

[raymondo]

Newcastle are absolutely shot, they can’t keep up… Howe seems the opposite of RDZ, consistently playing the same team every game… the players look done.

I think they'll come back after this blip (sadly)

If I had £10 for every time I've heard that...
