Re: Premier League 17-18 Discussion Part 9 - The End

Never bought into the Krychowiak hype, every once in a while you get these defensive midfielders who are supposed to be sublime only to be exposed as frauds once they leave the team / system that allowed them to stay in their comfort zone. I remember when Yann M'vila was supposed to be great. And Wanyama has become deadwood at Spurs after one season. Bakayoko achieved the same at Chelsea in half a season. Basically, if the DM has the letter 'y' in their name, don't buy, they're a fraud.

Chadli is decent, though. Has he been injured all season or fallen out with the club? I don't even know. A mid-table club would do well to get him.

Case in point, Emry Can.

Ah yes, the return of superhuman goalkeeping.

You just suck, END OF

Rest of the PL must suck too then as we're second. hmm

Including 6th placed Arsenal that wiped the floor with you. hmm

Not that I rate this line of reasoning but how do you rectify what you just said with 7th place Sevilla turning you inside, out?

Seems like a direct contradiction

by Firenze Sun Apr 15, 2018 9:13 pm

they didn't exactly 'turn us inside out'

but european 'eritage, Sevilla are big game players

again, Firmino has scored and assisted the same amount of times as Lukaku, who btw, absolutely sucks, in the PL. Lukaku's also surrounded by shit like Lingard, Rashford and Sanchez, while Firmino is supported by two of the best attackers in the league.

Face it, lad is average af

by Nishankly Mon Apr 16, 2018 6:57 pm

Firmino is the supporter m8 not the supported. OUT

by Nishankly Mon Apr 16, 2018 7:02 pm

PL:

Salah 30 goals, 102 shots
Kane 25 goals, 120 shots
Aguero 21 goals, 75 shots
Sterling 17 goals, 62 shots

Mane 10 goals, 52 shots (Played 600 mins less than Firmino)
Firmino 15 goals, 54 shots (Supposed Striker to lead Liverpool FC)
Lukaku 15 goals, 67 shots ( Played 300 mins more than Firmino)
OUT

by rincon Mon Apr 16, 2018 7:15 pm

Kane is volume shooting his way through the PL. Justice for everyone else.

by Luca Mon Apr 16, 2018 7:19 pm

@nish, where did you find those numbers? Any information for other leagues?

by rincon Mon Apr 16, 2018 7:22 pm

Squawka probably. They have all the stats.

BBC, They are called Brexit Broadcasting Corporation so they only have numbers on the PL unfortunately.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Apr 16, 2018 7:26 pm

Yeah BBCs top scorer chart has that data, and shooting percentages as well.

by CBarca Mon Apr 16, 2018 7:33 pm

Firmino is shit.

That is all I have for today.
