Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

Serious question: How was that Salah penalty a dive? Defender had his arms around him for a long time and impeded progress with an arm around the chest. I see contact allowed all the time in the box, but not that type of excessive contact.

Bad reputations can cloud peoples judgement

That wasn't Emery's fault. The 2nd half Arsenal were the better side. His management brought them back into the game. Mustafi literally GIFTED 3 goals to Palace.

LITERALLY.

After setting us behind the 8ball again with his fukk up.

He Bob Bradley 09-11 status.

He didn't even bother to shield Zaha off the ball

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince on BBC Radio 5 Live: "The way Manchester United are performing right now, you have to ask if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the right man? You cannot be getting embarrassed at Goodison Park like this."

Who picked Jenkinson?

Who picked that midfield?

You been letting Emery slide when he has cost us at least 10 points.

His team selections have been poor for about a third of the season.

It was a legit pen, Morrison made sure of it.

And that's always been his problem. Always out smarting himself.

Jenkenson was poor but didn't give away any goals Breh. Elneny was poor and didn't give away any goals, Breh. Y'all fronting like Arsenal don't have Valencia to worry about. There HAVE been issues that I've blamed Emery for...today is not one of them when one player was so poor.

Also, there were two non called penalties. This was the day to make a move on Spurs and they didn't deliver, plain and simple.

With all this being said, the right squad investments must be made to replace all these players. I'm not too confident in this, sadly.

I agree with Smalling, Jones, Young, Lukaku, Herrera, Mata, Darmain, Matic.

Pogba, DDG, Martial I’m on the fence about.

I think Martial should get 1 more year before the jury is fully out.

Pogba I still think is a solid player that with a solid midfield could really be pivotal for us. However, 1 Pogba can get you 2 Ndombeles.

DDG might actually be a good sell. Romero is a solid keeper and a good defense absolves you from having the best of best keepers.

Lot of investments to be made this summer.

He in on the conspiracy too?
