English Premier League 2023-24 Thread

England continue to be our bitches in the egg chasing. Love to see it.

Feeling pretty good about this one, barring an inexplicable and untimely Karius performance of a lifetime.

Never in doubt

This is a whippin

This is some of the best football Arsenal has played all year.

Bruno continuing where he left off last time

Looks like Newcastle aren't even trying to get the ball

RIP Stan Bowles

A bit crap of Newcastle to make the game shite to watch by not even bothering to turn up.

Gabriel not getting the assist for that own goal? Seriously?

There was about four touches after his in the pinball

The fact that Man City are right up there despite seeming to be way less good than Arsenal and Liverpool is borderline depressing tbh.

Saka is the best player in the league

Anything less than 7xg against Newcastle is a failure tbh.

Since just before Thanksgiving he's been basically been supernova. If he can keep that level up, whoa boy we're talking something really really special

City have been pretty lucky to avoid some draws in games they weren't great and scored late.

Defense turned into swiss cheese. The more nuanced answer is likely combination of many things: injuries, game state, being found out, not being able to overperform their underlying talent level etc.

Yes sort of my point. Still feel they end up winning 10 on the spin etc at end to win kt despite this.

Ya city have overall been very underwhelming this year. They lost too many attackers then stacked a kdb injury on top of it. Ultimately that means instead of being the far and away best team in the league they are merely one of the 3 best. City largely overrated by the markets purely due to reputation, which they've obviously earned, but if they don't go up a gear I think Liverpool or arsenal win. Kind of have the feeling pool gonna run out of gas with their fixtures / injuries.

I don't think I remember a year where there's been this much delta for so many teams between results and xg, happening across multiple leagues too. All the "top" teams, minus Bayern are considerably worse than usually but still getting results (Madrid/PSG mainly from other leagues).

How many of their first team yesterday would have got into even Arsenal's injury-depleted team? Two?

They outperformed their ability for quite a while.

Lol shu players fighting against each other

Thought this was a 2pm kick off, whoopsie

That looked not great
