Premier League 23/24: Gameweek 34 (April 20-25)

[Batman]

He should've fixed his style and not keep playing like he got Caicedo and Macalister in team

How many coaches with relatively small budgets can offset losing their whole midfield by "switching their style"? Brighton are pretty much where a selling club should be when they have a bunch of injuries. I'm not sure what else he's supposed to do.

At the end of the day we should have not dropped 6/6 points to Villa, 3/6 points to West ham at the Emirates and 5/6 points to Fulham.

After watching Liverpool beat Fulham 3-1, what hopes do you have they'll do anything to City? lol

Yes we should've lost only one game in the whole season, wtf were we thinking ffs

 

[King87]

Losing to villa home and away might have finished us, city ain't dropping any more points with the dross they'll be facing, can't believe we'll finish second despite being the best in the league ffs

Well after last season, we knew how costly drawing is let alone losing, after dropping 16+ points in the first 19 games of the season, we made it extremely difficult for ourselves in the 2nd half of the season.

City even looked vulnerable this season, they lost two EPL legends in Mahrez/Gundogan, replaced them with project players Doku/Nunes and are about to win another title. Remember when Rodri was suspended and they dropped points in every game? last season, we would have capitalised (prior to Saliba injury) that but this season we didn't.

 

[RandomHero84]

If we finish on 89 points in this deeply corrupt league the team should still be commended.

I can't get on our teams back too much for the odd slip when our results have been so incredible this year, but watching this City, the decisions they so consistently get, and knowing the 115 charges backstopping it that will never get punished, criticising second place just feels like attacking the runners up to Lance Armstrong.

We haven't been bottlers this year. Just tired, operating within reasonable limits, and to the best of our squads abilities.

I'm bored.

Indeed the first half of the season seems to have caught up with us. People ridiculed Klopp for only walking away with one title, but this is exactly why - perfection is what it takes and there's no use moaning about it.

 

[Blankety Blank]

People thought De Zerbi was better than Arteta lmao

Some people thought Graham Potter was better than Arteta

We took one point out of six against Fulham

 

[King87]

Never seen Brighton played any other way than this bollocks from the back stuff, D Zerbi is a fraud

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Klopp was also extremely stupid to draw at home to Leicester that year he lost the league to City by a point too.

 

[2Smokeyy]

These b*stards need to be deleted from the league

Delete.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

The league should treat 2nd place as the real winners

Yes. If that' us. If not, then no.

Basically, just give us a trophy

I'd like to see what Potter and Di Zerbi would look like with the same budget and allowances to be fair. Arteta is a special case which makes comparing him very difficult.

Imagine last season Arsenal team racking up historic 50 points after 19 games watching this City side dropping points back to back without Rodri? drawing to Palace 2-2 at the Etihad? they would have ran away with the title long before Saliba got injured.

Instead we were behaving like bozos the first half of the season, Jorginho costly error vs Sp**s, Raya lobbed by mudryk at Stamford Bridge, Saka back pass for Pereira goal at the Emirates, woeful at St James Park, failing to take our chances at Villa Park, etc...


As Wenger said, when the opportunity is there seize them!

 

[King87]

We are such a weird team, unbeaten against quality sides then for no reason just dropping points against dross. Not sure how we couldn't beat Fulham and now watch them gift wrap 3 points to city after lying down for liverpoo last time, ****ss

The fact is when you are fighting a machine like City the battle is really against yourself and how much bottle you got. As sad as it is.

 

[Macho]

Adingra didn't start, we may need a discussion about rotation addict di zerbi.

Think they likely compete for top 4.
Highly doubtful they can get close to this City side.

The crazy thing is Klopp gets way more recognition from the media for being a challenger to City compared to Arteta who’s got a fraction of his experience and a far younger, less experienced squad.

 

[BaZZe]

Why do the refs feel they need to put their thumb on the scale in 115's favor? Not enough that they cheat financially?
