Tonali got banned for 10 months. Should Italy make Euro 2024, he's out for that too.

Re: 2023–2024 English Football Thread

Eddie Howe was ridiculously suggesting Tonali could still play, but that has now been stopped.

It's my duty as a human to remind those I can that only two teams have played all three promoted sides this season: Nottingham Forest and Spurs.

Also, six other sides have a better xGD than Spurs, but Ange has a fun accent and is one of the lads, so don't worry about anything else.

Huh—turns out you can smash Sheffield United. No late goal needed.

They did beat Liverpool and United, and drew Arsenal. Those things happened.

Also, expected goal differential is a thing? If that is ever used as a tie breaker I'm never watching this **** again lol.

Bournemouth really needed that result.

United have been a bit, well, ****.

They barely took care of Liverpool, and were gifted a goal by Arsenal. Those things happened.

xGD is a thing because it’s a combination of xG and xGA—looking at one number instead of two (xG-xGA). It’s a rather decent metric—example, Bournemouth were awful last season and were lucky to not be relegated. Their xGD reflected that properly, as they ranked 20th.

“Beat” Liverpool. Can’t wait for the match at Anfield.

Why so y’all can end up in a 1-1 draw? Lol

I'm actually not certain Onana knows he's allowed to catch the ball

Re: 2023–2024 English Football Thread

It's bonkers every week that it happens—game continues for minutes of open play while VAR speaks to each other in riddles before realizing they should stop the game that has been ongoing.

Re: 2023–2024 English Football Thread

No surprise in the result at all. There isn't one player in Uniteds starting 11 or even bench that would start for City. I don't even think Rashford would crack the team to be honest. Not in this form.

Manchester City looked great in their 3-0 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford. United surely have many things to improve if they want to fight for a top 4 finish this season. They are already 8 points behind the 4th place team Liverpool.
