Totally Unofficial 2019/2020 Premier League Thread (NWT)

If you think he's been trash then it's clear you haven't watched Arsenal a ton (which I don't blame you, you're very clearly a Man U fan, not a Premier League as a whole fan, which is fine). Luiz has had some classic Luiz nightmare games (away to City on the restart, for example) but has largely been solid, if unspectacular. Last night he was fine, a solid 6/10. I thought he had moments where he looked a little shaky but Liverpool make the best players in the world look shaky on a weekly basis, let alone players like David Luiz. Everything else was OK, no clear errors, he did as well as he could against the pace of Liverpool's front three and played a few of the only progressive passes we had on the night.

Also those who live in glass shitty center back houses shouldn't throw stones. Luiz would be the best CB on Manchester United's roster and I don't think it is close.

You're wrong in so many ways. David Luiz is a garbage footballer and worse defender.

And I'm FAR from Harry Maguire's biggest fan, but he is miles better than David Luiz.

You just look like a silly homer, Gooner. Just stop now before you embarrass yourself further.

I thought stats didn't mean anything, dv7
 
I don't put much stock into xG. One statistic that I find flawed.

That doesn't mean I don't like statistics. I literally deal with statistics for a living, sooooo...
 
Also, your attempt to change the subject away from you backing David Luiz as not a trash footballer is noted.

(Not to mention your stupid declaration that he would be the best central defender on MUFC. That was a good one.)
 
David Luiz is not good. He's only remotely serviceable as a ball playing libero type in a back three with two other defenders covering for him and still he's a massive defensive liability.

Luiz is definitely at his best in a back 3 and was excellent in that role when playing it in Chelsea's last title season. In a back 4, he's capable of playing great (as he did when Chelsea won the champion's league) but also just as a capable of shitting the bed. He's far too inconsistent to rely on game in game out in a back 4 imo.

Chelsea's last title season (2016-17, Luiz was 29/30)
Chelsea's Champions League win (2011-12, Luiz was 25)


Luiz will turn 34 this season and doesn't have the athletic ability to make up for his lack of brain anymore. He is fucking trash and constantly out of position. He's shit and has the football IQ of an ant. Worthless waste of athletic ability while he had it.

The Premier League has instructed the officials to be more lenient about handball calls and take into consideration natural body position and distance the ball travels. Hopefully that will eliminate all the nonsense we have seen.

Also - Ross Barkley to Villa on loan. That's a nice move for them - he's shown he can create offensively which they lack outside of Grealish.

So this is not a handball anymore? Or only not a handball for LiVARpool?
 
But his arm is out to make himself bigger and he clearly saw the ball coming towards him...

Having a poor first touch does not excuse a handball.
 
DCL with another hattie! Up to 8 goals in 5 games.

Unfortunately all three of our subs were used for subs. Particularly worried about Allan. Richy will bounce back quickly and Allan’s work rate has completely transformed our MF.

Is this West Ham’s A/B side? Because they are poop. Also Declan Rice is not a CB.

Hate that Carlo played such a strong team in this cup to go get injured.

Allan is a massive loss, there’s really nobody to replace him. Stupid game to get hurt in.

I don’t mind it, we haven’t won a trophy in 25 years. Plus you get the international break after this weekend. Injuries happen.
 
Someone tell me about this guy. Fans seem pleased.
