PL games, Round 12 : 11th - 13th December 2020

[Halmeister]

My order of outcomes

1. Draw. Both drop points. This is a crazy season and we need all potential rivals to drop as many points as possible as early as possible. They can also get as many injuries and cards as possible.
2. Man U win.
3. Man City win.

No nuclear bomb going off in the ground?

 

[MomoWASright]

It’s too close to home for that.

 

[darkstarexodus]

No nuclear bomb going off in the ground?

Well, yeah. That's number 1 choice.
Momo's selection comes right after that.

 

[tombrown]

I agree. Sadly I don’t see anything other than a City win this time. I also think Ole will be gone before the New Year.

But he said they will beat City and then challenge for the league ... must be true

 

[rurikbird]

Daniel Podence is quite a nifty little player. Good replacement for Jota for them and maybe even more.

 

[tombrown]

Fucking Grealish's hair

 

[walesnj]

I see Mike Dean penalizing the Wolves forward for looking where the Villa defender was when challenging for a header....maybe the referees can keep an eye on Mr Kane

 

[Hansern]

Grealish has picked up a thing or two from Harry Kane`s school of diving

 

[MomoWASright]

This has been one dull game. Wolves did just hit the post. Not much else to say than Villa dive a lot.

 

[MomoWASright]

Good save from Martinez. Rabona cross and Dendonka volley.

 

[MomoWASright]

Luiz sent off. It was a second yellow. Could’ve easily been a straight red.

 

[MomoWASright]

Villa, who are down to 10, get a pen in the 93rd minute. That’s the winner 1-0.

 

[MomoWASright]

Poor from the keeper on the pen. Looking at the run up he was always hitting it to his left.

Second yellow for moutinho and he’s off.

 

[walesnj]

That all started with a clear and obvious error from the referee when he wrongly gave Villa a free kick for a foul by Podence on Mings...it should've gone the other way

 

[MomoWASright]

That was a ridiculous decision by dean.

 

[jan]

I prefer Neto from the little I've seen this season

Neto bursts into life episodically and has impressive technique and shot. But Podense is someone who actually runs the attacking part of the game - lots of energy and invention.

He looks and walks like he’s Hazards unknown brother..

 

[MomoWASright]

Almeron scores after 21 seconds. Newcastle 1 WBA 0.

Dortmund one down after Can gave away a pen.

 

[Hansern]

Dortmund lose 1-5 at home to Stuttgart. Favre is surely getting the sack.

What’s happening over there? With those attacking players ?

 

[Modo]

They can't defend for shit?

 

[Hansern]

Haaland is injurier, so the goals have dried up. But seems as though Favre has lost the dressing room.
There was absolutly no fight and they were outplayed. Hummels was very crictical about tehe tactics in a post match interview.

Sancho looks poor this season and Reus looks past it.

 

[rurikbird]

City started with pressing high, but not quite with enough numbers or energy, so United are usually managing to play through it.

 

[rurikbird]

United playing 4-2-2-2 with Bruno Fernandes and Rashford up front, Pogba LW and Greenwood RW. City a surprisingly conventional 4-2-3-1. Both teams ultra-cautious; no real chances created so far.

 

[Hansern]

Surprising that Pep picks Stones over Laporte

 

[rurikbird]

This is worse than Wolves-Villa playing quality wise. No tempo, little creativity, lots of basic mistakes from both teams.

 

[rurikbird]

OK, turning it off. It's unwatchable.

 

[Frogfish]

Some nice passing interplay from United but their only chances came from two corners with Maguire and then Lindelof putting virtual free headers over the bar. Fernandes is really a class apart but surprisingly fucked up their only real breakaway when all he had to do was play their LW (Pogba?) in but pinged it straight at the last City defender.

Sterling has looked the most dangerous for City but two half chances plus mahrez missing a one on one all they have to show. City look miles and miles below not just their best but their average.

 

[Halmeister]

This match is bad
