Premier League 2024/25 (Part 1)

The way west ham are playing would give championship teams superiority complexes.

Absolute shit show throughout and what makes it worse is that the west ham team is actually okay in terms of players.

Summerville was through there but the ref didn’t like that scenario

Orange is about right. I am not sure he got the ball at all, studs up, so a red was a possibility

Their manager has one tactic. Moan about decisions and get booked.

@PeachesEnRegalia on the horror

Seem to have hit snooze since scoring

Silva somehow doesn’t score

It’s a reasonable perspective, but if this is approach your club supports they don’t get to complain when they get one or two senior injuries and lack the squad options to deal with it.

As for young players competing for opportunities with senior players, I think fans of most clubs understand that their talented youth prospects are rarely better than those senior option in the moment. But most would think the club is well served, both in terms of stability and identity, by the manager putting effort into finding carefully identified opportunities to use them so they can develop into a player who might in time be so. Pep has had a never ending supply of such players and has only ever done that with 2 of them. I think it is worth pointing out how many of those players there are currently doing well for other Prem clubs who offer exactly the things they are now looking to the transfer market to address, regardless of where you come down on whether that justifies criticism of him.

Never understand why PL refs allow this impeding of GKs on setpieces.

In no other league outside the UK is this allowed in world football.

Palace have chances.

Bournemouth playing like they have acrophobia at 7th in the table, Everton are thoroughly mediocre. I don’t understand why Bournemouth have not attacked Branthwaite more, he has been on a yellow basically the whole match.

Areola with a bit of a Kelleher moment on that second.

Foden just got away with a bit of a naughty studs up challenge that forced Paquetta to jump out the way of and it wasnt even given as a foul

Eze point blank whiff but Palace playing well to start 2H
