West Ham 0-3 Brighton, brilliant for Brighton...shambolic by West Ham, time to say goodbye to Bilic?!

Yeah sounds like there will be another opening soon.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Chelsea 1-2 Watford, on hour played, Watford all over Chelsea atm and should be 1-4!

Finished 4-2 to Chelsea who showed great spirit and fight to turn it around.

Ridiculous poor performance by the United team against Huddersfield today.

Can't say that I am shocked. Been in poor form the last couple weeks.

That was unexpected.

My reaction when I checked at half-time:

I'm sure it's all part of tactical genius Mourinho's master plan...

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Terrible yesterday with United and Swansea losing at the same time.

For whatever reason Huddersfield just seemed to want it more than United, and United were second best in every department, two horrible mistakes from Mata and Lindelof lead to the goals, United have lost the momentum they had before the international break.

Swansea its one step forward and tow back, after beating Huddersfield last week we lost at home to Leicester this time, Renato Sanches is having a bit of a shocker so far and hasn't settled yet.

West Ham had a board meeting yesterday with Bilic's future top of the agenda, its reported that he has two games to get it right, the first of which ia against Spurs in the Cup in the week, some board members wanted him sacked yesterday.

Everton 1-1 Arsenal at half time, really good game so far, Rooney with a great strike.

 

[Vegard]

I'm sure it's all part of tactical genius Mourinho's master plan...

Well, it definitely can't be due to the fact that 3 central defenders and 3 central midfielders are out injured, that's for sure.

 

[Dennisch]

Please. They have been spending hundreds of millions.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Everton 2-5 Arsenal, entertaining game, Gueye got sent off mid way through the second half which opened floodgates for Arsenal, Ozil, Sanchez and Lacazette all scoring, more pressure on Koeman..

Spurs v Liverpool on next.

 

[Vegard]

Please. They have been spending hundreds of millions.

Expensive players get injured like everyone else, what's your point?

 

[Dennisch]

That there are more players available for Man U to play and win against Huddersfield.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

The problem yesterday was nothing to do with injuries, we should have won that match with the players we had on the pitch, we were crap and Huddersfield were superb, end of!

Spurs are already 2-0 up v Liverpool with less than 15 on the clock!!

Edit now 2-1 to Spurs with Salah getting one back..

 

[m8h3r]

Motd looks good tonight.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

4-1 Spurs, two for Kane!

 

[adamp93]

There was a pretty funny moment in the game between Udinese and Juventus. Mandzukic was given a yellow and was immediately given a second for his reaction to it.

 

[Dave A]

Very dissapointing weekend for United, didn't deserve any points though so well played Huddersfield. I genuinely think the change in tactics against Liverpool took the momentum from us. We were full of confidence and scoring loads before that.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Missing Pogba badly I think, should be back in a couple of weeks though.

 

[Dave A]

I'm hoping it will be a big enough boost to the teams confidence when he's back. We have missed him.

 

[Touring Mars]

Ronald Koeman has been sacked as Everton manager...

 

[C-ZETA]

I saw someone liken Koeman's transfer window to a 'carefree, but very hungover trip to the nearby Tesco Metro'. Seems about right. Who do they get now?

David Moyes.


No, really. Yes, I know.

 

[C-ZETA]

That might work on the basis that he'd be welcome back at the place he made his name.

On the other hand, these days it really, really wouldn't.

 

[Liquid]

Time to catch up:

Football Cliche #837 - Assistant manager promoted to manager and sacked a few months later
Football Cliche #491 - Foreign manager with no trophies in over a decade spends lots of money and gets zero results

17th October - Craig Shakespeare (Leicester City, sacked) Premier League
23rd October - Ronald Koeman (Everton, sacked) Premier League

Sacked: 9
*1 mutual consent

Total: 9

 

[MUSC4EVER]

I think they should have given him more time.....but I can see why they done it, he has looked like a broken man for the last week or so.

 

[Liquid]

Twice in the last week things have been described as "perfect" which irk me.

Manchester City beating Napoli 2-1 was described as a perfect performance by Josep Guardiola and Tottenham beating Liverpool 4-1 was described as a "perfect start" to the upcoming month by the BBC.

If you fail to keep a clean sheet, no performance can be described as perfect. It just can't.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

David Unsworth in his first press conference said he wants Everton Job permanent, which is similar to what Craig Shakespeare did, Thomas Tuchel has declared his interest in the job after being linked with it today, from what I know Everton wont hire a new permanent boss until the next international break in a couple of weeks.

League Cup action tonight and tomorrow night.

 

[Famine]

Speaking of Craig Shakespeare, Leicester have just appointed Claude Puel as manager.

What's the fastest a team has gone from national champion to relegation?

Apparently Manchester City relegated as champion in 1938.

Juventus took 2 years from 2004 to 2006
