how amateurish does this make the premier league look lol

also it shows that the youth players are very much weak and english teams relying heavily on buying players, also not a good look for this competition lol

yeah so

at least they didn't asked to postpone (unlike City whom literally had no valid reason to postpone, since a team like City can still make up a decent team out of reserves, while Villa had to improvise)

also nice we had debut of Winston Bogarde's son

Just pointing out that they were basically kids ... most were dropped off at the ground by their parents !!

Now they gave a strong Liverpool a hell of a game for 60 minutes and they only collapsed through sheer exhaustion and cramps ..

Lol at New Castle.

A red card, an injury and a loss to the weakest team in the premier league in the same day.

If it was a home game, it would be almost perfect 1 game day disaster.

Guess Steve Bruce is under a bit of pressure after the last two results especially

Unbelievable result.

I never saw a Sheffield United win, they haven't beaten any team this season until Newcastle tonight.

Pogba has been really good recently for them, thought he had a great game again

Newcastle the sort of team who might get dragged into the relegation fight but tbf the bottom 4 atm (minus the one from shef utd tonight against newcastle) can't buy a win. 1 win in 20 games for them combined so the likes of bruce are lucky its such a poor relegation fight this season

That looked like a certain penalty when Gibbs handled in his own box..
VAR didn’t even check even though the Wolves players all claimed ..

The ball was bouncing around close to goal line in a crowded box and he cushioned it for the keeper to claim .

We see some crazy penalties given these days but not ones like this ?!?

Great win, should have scored a few. Games like that show how much we've improved imo, last few seasons there'd be nothing in it between us and Burnley and it'd be a pretty awful game but today we actually outplayed them and looked a much better footballing side. Defence is looking really solid now and so much flair going forward with Benrhama and Bowen

Just hope Antonio can stay fit now

Bowen looks a real talented player whenever I see him play

He's brilliant, just need to work on being a bit more clinical in front of goal and finding that final pass rather than going it alone so much

Fulham seem to have made a marked improvement since the first 10 games. Might still go down but they're clinging their way to draws against good teams

really don't rate Lampard as a manager, hardly lit it up at Derby before he went to Chelsea and finishing top of the average CL group they had has blemished over the cracks, this team should be doing a lot better

Spent over 150 million on Ziyech, Havertz and Werner and he's managed to turn them all into Championship players
