Game Week 11 - An Evening Slot For Emery

[fletcherpost]

Life and football goes on. Sadly we have another international break after this round of league fixtures.

That first half at the London Stadium was hard work. Everton much the better team, West Ham look a bit lost.

 

[fletcherpost]

West Ham should be a goal in front. Summerville hits the post. Best chance of a match that's been fairly dull. West Ham have given the ball away so cheaply at times Id be kicking myself if i was an Everton fan for not really going for the three points. West Ham are something of a wounded animal at the moment, but Everton haven't made life as hard for them as they could have.

Pickford basically earned Everton a point all by himself. Hard to think a keeper that has meant more to their club in recent years than Pickford.

City's lineup by shirt number:

31, 2, 24, 66, 82, 8, 19, 26, 27, 47, 9.

Brighton's:

1, 3, 29, 30, 34, 11, 22, 26, 41, 14, 18.

(old man yells at cloud) I miss when teams lined up 1-11 and each number corresponded to a specific position.

 

[fletcherpost]

João Pedro scores, thank the stars.

 

[fletcherpost]

Here we go, Celtic old Bhoy Matt O'Riley puts Brighton in front.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

João Pedro scores, thank the stars.

Ditto !!!

 

[fletcherpost]

I prefer the Brighton that can hang onto the ball.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Going to love the headlines tomorrow - “City in Crisis Mode!”

Haaland‘s sore loser bs really needs to have some consequences at some point. He’s such a frigid little snowflake.

The Brit’s have a word for people like him but it can’t be used in polite company.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

The Brighton fans chanting "You're getting sacked in the morning" at Pep was funny.

Darwin would have done better to play the ball instead of looking for contact. But that was a foul on Mo.

 

[Pesky Pole]

Guess we couldn’t have eased Cootes back from his suspension with Wolves/Southampton? He’s giving me consequential bad call vibes already.

 

[67YAZ]

DARWIN! Makes the impossible look easy and the easy look impossible.

 

[nayrbrey]

That was a great strike from Darwin. Would that have been a DOGSO call on the Mo take down?

 

[Pesky Pole]

So the DOGSO wasn’t getting called there? It wasn’t even a foul? Glad Darwin finished it,

 

[67YAZ]

Feel like that's at least a yellow, maybe a straight red, that got washed away by the goal.

 

[nayrbrey]

I initially thought he was giving advantage, but you’re correct.

 

[fletcherpost]

Thought Darwin was gonna send that six feet over.

 

[nayrbrey]

Yeah the goal all’s that matters. TAA off?

 

[Pesky Pole]

I initially thought he was giving advantage, but you’re correct.

Yeah crazy. No arm raised on the replay means no call at all.

Not good to see Trent go down.

 

[67YAZ]

Thought Darwin was gonna send that six feet over.

Were it an easier chance, surely.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

How many times can they hold Salah back on a breakaway without a card?

 

[nayrbrey]

Thought Darwin was gonna send that six feet over.

If he was head on with the keeper he would have. Crazy angle shot? Easy

 

[67YAZ]

Ugh. Best hope is that Trent stays home for the break and is ready to go in 2 weeks.

 

[Pesky Pole]

I said consequential call and should have said consequential non-call. He’s afraid to call anything that could be controversial after his suspension.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

There's the Darwin we remember.

 

[nayrbrey]

lol. There’s Darwin doing Darwin things

 

[fletcherpost]

If he was head on with the keeper he would have. Crazy angle shot? Easy

Oh boy. He has to learn how to compose himself when he's expected to score. Or he'll be out the door.

 

[Pesky Pole]

Oh boy. He has to learn how to compose himself when he's expected to score. Or he'll be out the door.

He was so concerned about the defender that he failed to set himself for the shot (had it way too far back). Great strikers are clinical there and seem to not even know there is a defender.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

The 4 best scoring chances of the game have come off Villa corners. 2 for each team.

 

[67YAZ]

Darwin, sigh.

 

[fletcherpost]

Diaz doing the hard yards there. Love it.

 

[nayrbrey]

That’s how you do it!

 

[fletcherpost]

Class is permanent.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Great replay showing Mo bluffing the pass to open Martinez up a bit, then chipped it by him at the near post.

 

[CodPiece XL]

Here we go, Celtic old Bhoy Matt O'Riley puts Brighton in front.

He’ll score for fun down in that league ;-)

 

[OCST]

Thought Darwin was gonna send that six feet over.

He’s evolving.

 

[OCST]

What a goal from Ipswich. Dude hits a bicycle to go up on Spurs. No doubt that Spurs will score at least a couple but that was special.

 

[joe dokes]

And another!

 

[nayrbrey]

So for all of us who picked Spurs in the pool this week, not fun times!

 

[fletcherpost]

I might bring on Maddison now.

Edit: Werner is on...

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Tottenham will win this game.

 

[fletcherpost]

Bentancur pulls one back for Spurs. Game on. Ipswich running down the clock at every opportunity like good uns. Don't blame them.

 

[eddiew112]

Pathetic display from Spurs yet again vs. a team in the relegation zone

 

[OCST]

Ipswich, like Luton last season, try to play football with the big boys. Like Luton, I think they’ll go back down because they’re not good enough. But they’ve got some quality, for sure.

Spurs could have won this game, even giving up two.

 

[OCST]

Odegaard is back. Chelsea and Arsenal 1-1 close to the end of the 90

 

[SoxFanInCali]

I'll take those two dropping 2 points each.

3rd through 9th is separated by 1 point.
