UKTexans Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Crazy weekend for the top 6. Aside from Liverpool and Chelsea the other top 4 candidates all struggled against "weak" opposition. Arsenal had to rely on a questionable referee decision to beat a Burnley side who up until that point were more than good value for a point. United had to rely on a dodgy corner and a deflected effort to be a resolute Brighton who like Burnley were good for their point. City had to come from behind to beat a stalwart Huddersfield side. Weekends like this are why it's the best league in the world. Can you imagine, in the same weekend, the top 4 in Spain being held by newly promoted/relegation threatened sides? Sure they have the odd blip but this is not a blip in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New coach and a striker in Jan and they'll easily finish midtable. Only 4 points behind 9th placed Brighton who are crap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So annoyed Arsenal won, and in the manner they did. Was impressed with them in first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marky mark Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Was also impressed with Burnley. They were the better side in the first half. Tarkowski played so well before he shoved Ramsey. Lee Mason was abysmal. He missed the stonewall penalty on Bellerin and it was frustrating watching Burnley players diving all game. We definitely missed Ozil. Wilshere should've started instead of Iwobi who had an awful game. Mustafi with another top performance. MOTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKTexans Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Quote The largest drop, though, is in the number of 'big chances' - described by statisticians Opta as "clear-cut opportunities our analysts would expect players to score". Lukaku has had just three in his past six games, compared to 12 in his first seven. In the defeats by Huddersfield and Chelsea, the draw with Liverpool and the win over Tottenham, he did not have any. His 'expected goals' have fallen too. In the first seven games, he would have been expected to score 6.5 goals, or 0.93 per game, based on the quality of chances he had. In the past six, he would have been expected to score 1.95 goals - just 0.33 per game. So are his team-mates at least as culpable as he is? His barren run coincided with midfielder Paul Pogba's absence through injury, while playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan's form dipped- he has created three chances in his past five appearances having provided five in United's opening three matches. Lukaku cannot be faulted for his effort either. In Saturday's 1-0 win over Brighton, he ran 9.74km - further than in any other match this season. For those placing the blame squarely on Lukaku's shoulders. Like I said after the Chelsea game we have zero creativity right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
