The Premiership 2018-2019 Thread

Then no doubt we'd start hearing about Hazard to Utd rumours because of Zidane. Yeah, can't wait for that.

It's not a good situation when player power starts dictating whether managers get sacked. Happened twice at Chelsea in recent seasons, first with Mourinho, then with Conte, where players basically downed tools the season after winning the title.

Not a good route to go down for a club at all.

Two times?  Probably more than that, but Mourinho was a prick in his second spell, and conte picked fights, Costa, Luiz,  Willian, etc.. Mourinho was bought in to win the PL for United, but hasn't got anywhere near it... this is why it wouldn't surprise anyone if he got the boot.

2 games, 2 wins for us, haven't looked great in either though, with Luiz at the heart of defence and Kante playing as an attacking player, I'm not sure Sarri is all there to be honest

And arse are gonna get relegated lol

Might be worth putting a tenner on it just for a laugh lmfao

[Dragontao]

but they've played and lost to City and Chelsea, they weren't 2-0 down to Brighton. 

[harv]

It's my fault cos I'm not watching them lol

Can't even get live radio commentary ANYWHERE 

Unbelievable. 3-1 down at halftime and we've been shite. Beyond shite in fact. I'm having to watch it via the Sky Sports app commentary. Pretty ridiculous that 5 Live and Talksport haven't got live commentary.

Soccer streams on Reddit Harv, bit late now though.

Am using hospital wireless. Couldn't watch a stream.

United 25/1 to win the league now, ooosh, get on that harv, you'll make a fortune 

[harv]

And of course the anti-United pundits are getting carried away lol. Keown in the Daily Mail has said that this is all down to Maureen unsettling United's defence. But what about three of them being among the favourites to get the MOTM award last week?

It was a bad day in the office. These things happen every now and then, nobody can explain it, it just happens. To every team.

EVERYONE is acting like City are going to have as good a season as they had last year and win the title by 19 points again. City probably won't have a season like that again for YEARS.

Bad day at the office... Mourinho has lost the dressing room.. sacked by Christmas.. replaced by Wenger.. you heard it here first

[harv]

If he had lost the dressing room then we wouldn't have won last week. We just had a bad game. It happens.

[jman]

Yep, you keep thinking that.. its happened too many times before though.. Pogba and Martial are clearly unhappy.. even Mourinho is unhappy and half your team are playing like dogshite.. Mourinho's knocked all of the talent out of Sanchez, Rashford is going backwards, Bailly seems to be the new Phil Jones.. the list goes on..

[harv]

Bailly has had ONE bad game. Last week he, Lindelof, Shaw, Fred and Pogba were all in the running for the MOTM award.

It was simply one of those games that can be put down to 'a bad day at the office'. It happens to every side every now and then.

Personally I'd like to see Maureen getting sacked today and see Zidane given the job but it would be daft to do so BECAUSE ONLY TWO GAMES HAVE BEEN PLAYED SO FAR THIS SEASON.

As far as Martial goes it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to leave. He's nowhere near consistent enough to deserve a place in the side and I'm pretty sure that Pogba is just after a better deal.

Nearly 80% possession for Chelsea in that first half but they've done bugger all with it so far. 8 shots on goal and only 1 shot on target. They'll need to step things up in the final third to get something out of this match in the second half.
