Benteke, good grief.

[Dim Glas]

Zaha and the drama again    And Luiz being a prick. Par for the course.

[El Lobo]

Apart from Djibril Cisse, who was alright, our number 9s in the PL have either been legendary or utter shite

[Dim Glas]

I know I will regret saying this, as he’ll do something stupid in a bit, but Xhaka has played really well, defensively especially.

[Crosby Nick]

No breakthrough in the Eddie McGoldrick derby yet?

[S]

I'm still absolutely flabbergasted at why we paid as much as we did for Benteke. And equally as flabbergasted at how we got our money back.

Considering he has never been suited for either a Rodgers or Klopp side, he didn’t perform that bad. Scored a few. Obviously his time here is best forgotten but he wasn’t as bad as the likes of Balotelli.

[Caligula?]

Benteke and Ayew are two of the biggest donkeys you'll ever see

Great example of it there! Good chance and he didn’t know what to do.

And it ends 0-0.

Drab game, especially the 2nd half, both goalies bored.

[Dave McCoy]

Two pretty limited teams battle it out for 90 minutes into nothingness...

[koptommy93]

90% of games this year are shite

[PeterTheRed ...]

Yet both of these teams have beaten the champion elects at their own ground this season ...

And yet the PL is probably as strong as it's ever been.  I can't remember a time where I thought teams 1-10 were all some variation of "good".  Also there are some really fun teams to watch in the Bundesliga and Seria A this year.

And?

[El Lobo]

Could be the end of Arsenals title challenge, big game for them at the weekend

It's not strong. The standards are way lower this year as evidenced by the point totals in comparison to the last few years.

[RedSince86]

Hahaha.

[PeterTheRed ...]

And?

And people shouldn't shit themselves because we've had some poor results. It is a long season ...

For the winner?  Sorry but I'll disagree here.  Overall the league quality may be down due to pandemic but as it relates to other European leagues as well as past versions of itself the PL is definitely as good as it's been in a long time.

Apart from being close at the top, this is one of the worst Premier League seasons ever. Even worse than 2015/16, when Leicester won the title with that average team ...

For pretty much everyone, not just the winner.

Well at least Arsenal and Spurs didn’t win the league the Last two nights

Who’s winning the league first on the weekend?

[Gifted Right Foot]

Was legit going to say i reckon 9 out of 10 games i've watched this season have been boring.  The last game on game days start at 6am here in Australia so i get to watch it while i eat breakfast.  Generally last about 15-20 mins before i get bored and flick it over to something else.

[The North Bank]

Awful game last night, but it does seem theres one of those every night, I dont know if its the lack of fans, or the fixture congestion, but the league this season has been desperate in terms of entertainment. Itll only encourage more teams to stick 10 behind the ball.

Of course we all know the answer to that unfortunately...
