I got real lucky I had Trippier instead the last two weeks. haha

Hahaha

I like how Newcastle have played the last couple weeks. Been impressed with Burnley too. Hoping Huddersfield can keep up the pace and be in a good spot by Christmas.

Huddersfield have some rough fixtures coming up. Burnley (A), Spurs (H), then both Man U and Liverpool in October. Beating Swansea next month will be crucial.

Is Cavani the nominated penalty taker? All I'm seeing on twitter is pictures/clips of Neymar begging for the ball on set pieces, doesn't make him look good

Neymar's a twat

Talented twat, sure, but still a monumental twat

I love how USGaf will read this as "twot"
 
Not really, Neymar did the exact same thing for a free kick earlier.

That felt more like him trying to stop the argument between cavani and dani alves, also it was a good free kick. Am not debating their characters, Neymar is equally cuntish, it's just that it doesn't hurt to give him the penalty when you already have a goal. At the end of the day it doesn't matter how good cavani is as a finisher, they will get rid of him if he cannot work with neymar.

I mean, Cavani's penalty was pretty good it's just that Lopes did a great save.

Also Neymar wasn't trying to stop the argument between the two, Dani Alves took the ball to give it to Neymar.

Edit: It was an own goal so Cavani didn't officialy scored.

Ahh, makes sense. Cavani gotta relax though, twice in one game, he might get a talking to. Becaue when it comes down to it, the club will choose neymar over him no matter how good he is.


Edit: they took it away? I thought the ball was going in.

I know Everton have had tough opening fixtures but they have looked gash in all of them, the only time they managed to put up a fight was against City with a red card. I mean, 2 goals scored in 5 games, what the hell?

I still think they will improve once players like Sandro, Klaassen and Sigurðsson (who had no preseason) bed in but the defensive performance are just really bad, they need Coleman back ASAP.

Yeah it's definitely tough for them out of the those teams. I'm just hoping they don't end up like Norwich a few years ago where they have a really strong start and then fall off as everyone expects.

Especially when Neymar and Mbappe seem to get along well.

Koeman underestimated how tough the run of fixtures were AND was under the assumption, better players would instantly mean the team would play better. The team looked ok for maybe one or two halves of this season, but otherwise has been total shite.

They at least tried to compete yesterday, in the game vs Tottenham, they looked completely lost.

Also it has to be either Sigurdsson OR Rooney. DCL should play up front to stretch the defence. They should have played senior players over the newer players at the start of the season and allowed the new players to adapt. That's on Koeman.

The biggest issue is a striker. Let's see if Moshiri will dig deep and get one in January.

The 31-year-old was banned from driving for two years and ordered to perform 100 hours of unpaid work as part of a 12-month community order.
Rooney was also ordered to pay £170 when he appeared at Stockport Magistrates' Court.

The court heard Rooney was almost three times the legal limit when he was stopped by police at 02:00 BST.
A breathalyser test showed his alcohol level was 104 microgrammes in 100 millilitres of breath.
The drink-drive limit in England and Wales is 35 microgrammes per 100 millilitres of breath.
