Barclays Premier League 13/14 Thread Part 'x'

by Duty281 Sun 27 Apr 2014 - 16:13

First topic message reminder :

Superb by Mourinho. When are Liverpool at their most dangerous? The first thirty minutes of games; that is, generally, when they tear teams apart.

Not allowed to do that today, though, even against a very weakened Chelsea side. Liverpool didn't get a clear chance all game, and one costly, costly error gave Chelsea what they needed.

That and frustration, as Liverpool rapidly ran out of ideas and invention.

Back in City's hands now - another title won on goal difference?

Girouds done well. Walcott was a big miss for him as he was the one who would make the runs in behind for him to find

by NickisBHAFC Mon 5 May 2014 - 15:35

Giroud is a great player, but if you're relying on him as the key striker to win you a league, then your mad.

Well said old chap clap

Sick & tired of the constant negative talk about Olivier Giroud as a footballer. The stats don't lie. He's up there with the very best the EPL has ever seen, Shearer....Henry....NO! There's only one man football fans on these shores will be talking about for decades to come & the name will be Olivier Giroud. I'm still astounded that he was never even mentioned to win the Footballer of the Year award this season. I mean how many more tap-ins does this guy have to expertly finish in order to be recognised? Disgraceful.

The worrying thing for many of Arsenal's rivals for the 2014/15 campaign, is that Olivier Giroud is only going to get better. The thought of that is quite frightening.

by Duty281 Mon 5 May 2014 - 16:24

Are you doing humour for once, John? A fine attempt.

by kingraf Mon 5 May 2014 - 17:55

In before John loses his mind when Giroud scores 20 next season

by GSC Mon 5 May 2014 - 18:13

Arsenal will likely upgrade in the summer. Balotelli would be a fine get. Girouds had a fine season though

by **Hero** Mon 5 May 2014 - 18:17

Balotelli would be Wenger's worst nightmare! Last thing they need is a nutjob like him in the dressing room.

by Liam Mon 5 May 2014 - 18:22

Don't rate Ballotelli. think he'd probably be just another Giroud. They need someone who's going to run in behind defenders where Ozil and Ramsey can feed them.

by NickisBHAFC Mon 5 May 2014 - 18:23

Yeah Ballotelli has proven he isn't worth having due to off the pitch antics. Would be the wrong signing for Arsenal as well.

Remy or even Lukaku.

by Liam Mon 5 May 2014 - 18:30

Remy would be a good signing. He's a different option to Giroud and gives them someone with a bit of pace and an eye for goal for ozil and co to play through balls in behind.

by Nakatomi Plaza Mon 5 May 2014 - 18:37

I think Remy's a flat-track bully who goes missing against the top teams. Whilst he might be a decent alternative to Giroud, he's no better as a wide attacker than Podolski or Walcott.

by kingraf Mon 5 May 2014 - 18:51

In before Suarez' record vs top four is brought up

by GSC Mon 5 May 2014 - 19:02

Paddy Power ‏@paddypower 1m
#LFC team v Palace: Mignolet, Johnson, Flanagan, Skrtel, Sakho, Gerrard, Allen, Lucas, Sterling, Sturridge, Suarez

Seems a fairly defensive side. Don't think you need Lucas and Allen.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 5 May 2014 - 19:10

A Newcastle and QPR striker who doesnt dominate the top four? Probably crap then

by kingraf Mon 5 May 2014 - 19:17

Not crap, just a flat track bully.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 5 May 2014 - 19:45

Which striker at first a club who went down and second a club who have spent half a season waiting for their holidays would decimate the top four? Its not really a valid complaint of someone outside a big club because hes not surrounded by top quality.

by mystiroakey Mon 5 May 2014 - 19:51

love that eagle

by Nakatomi Plaza Mon 5 May 2014 - 19:53

Remy's record in France isn't spectacular either. Averaged about 1 in 3 over there. He's decent, but not exceptional, and I don't think he's better than what Arsenal have. He's been linked with clubs such as Arsenal and Spurs for the past two/three years, but they've decided not to touch him. I'd image their scouts have checked him out thoroughly

Players like Benteke, Lukaku and Bony have looked more dangerous against teams in the top echelon over the past couple of season, without always having great players around them.

Coutinho injured, unfortunately just the result of a small squad. Only other viable options are the likes of Moses or Aspas.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 5 May 2014 - 20:07

Sakho very lucky not to get a yellow there

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 5 May 2014 - 20:07

0-1 scousers - joe allen with a header

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 5 May 2014 - 20:34

How much did Liverpool pay for Sakho?

He's essentially a French Leon Barnett

18 million according to most sites.

I remember when Fan tried to convince us Sakho and Rami were first choice French CB pairing for the next 8 years...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 5 May 2014 - 21:10

What a save!

Suarez has gone right off the boil in this run in

2-0 Scousers - Sturridge via deflection.

by Liam Mon 5 May 2014 - 21:12

game over, pressure well and truly on city now on wednesday

by Fernando Mon 5 May 2014 - 21:13

3-0 Scousers - Mr Chompy

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 5 May 2014 - 21:25

Our losing 7-0 at the Etihad might prove to be quite important at both ends then

Apparently somebody backed the draw at 1000/1 with a 124 quid stake.

You simply cannot win the league with a defence that poor, Rodgers has a lot of work to do over the Summer.
