Matchday 16 of the English Premier League: deficiencies in teleworking, angry Mourinho and Arsenal recovery

The English Premier League has completed the 2020 calendar year. There were no shortage of matches with an abundance of goals and canceled matches. In the traditional summary of the “Sportas.lt” tour – about the stuck chains, the extremely late withdrawal of Manchester United’s coat and the problems of distance training.

I DO NOT PASS. There were not two matches in this round. Two cases of coronavirus detected in Manchester City team – fell ill Gabriel Jesuss and Kyle’as Walkeris. Not only that, more cases have been observed since these events and it has not been announced to other people. It was decided to postpone the match with the Everton team, which was to be played in Liverpool.

There were also no games at Tottenham Stadium. Fulham Club London Coach Scott parker He has recently been unable to lead his team due to a case of coronavirus in a family member found in his home. Now it has become clear that there are also infected in the Fulham team. The decision on these matches was made just three hours before them.

On Wednesday night, Premier League teams had a total of 18 infected. These are the sickest people since the beginning of this season.

“The league has informed us of its decision, as the Fulham team has identified a number of positive cases among players and staff,” Tottenham wrote in a statement.

By the way, the Premier League organization spared no arrows of criticism Jose Mourinho. He shared a photo on his Instagram account in which he is sitting with the team at the base of the club, awaiting the decision of those responsible.

“Our game is at six and we still don’t know if it will happen. The best league in the world … ”said the Portuguese.

NEXT STRING. Chelsea from London, which started the season well, lost points again. Until very recently Franco Lampardo students were seen as future title fighters, but F. Lampard himself always rocked those speeches. It is no coincidence that now, after two more points lost, the “blues” have fallen to sixth place.

MEADOW. This round for the Leicester City team determined not only the points lost, but possibly also the position in the table. Not only Everton, but also Aston Villa of Birmingham can overtake the “foxes” after playing the remaining games in their reserve. It was a much more positive match for the Crystal Palace team after even 10 goals were lost in two matches.

ANTRI. Manchester United continue to climb to the top, and after a very late win against Wolverhampton by 1: 0, they now climb to second place, just two points behind leaders Liverpool. Just a month ago, when things were going badly in the UEFA Champions League, there was a lot of talk about a possible Ole Gunnaro Solskjaero dismissal. But now everything has turned upside down. Can more serious conclusions be drawn after this successful stretch?

“There is no title fight when you’ve only played fifteen games,” O. Solskjaer interrupted when discussing possible fierce competition for a main opponent.

Now that Arsenal’s London team was lost in early November, the Red Devils have won seven of their last nine games.

Fun and victorious Marcuso Rashfordo goal goal. He stood out in this game as the game clock showed 92 minutes and 51 seconds played. It is the last winning goal at Old Trafford Stadium in the Premier League in the last eleven years. In 2009, Michael Owen scored two and a half minutes later.

BLEW IT. “West Bromwich Albion” trainers Same Allardyce He came to a draw just a few days ago in a game against Liverpool, but was now humiliated at home with his team losing 0: 5 to Leeds United. The WBA remains in nineteenth place and the club is five points out of the safe zone table. By the way, the first goal that the WBA missed is worth mentioning. Already in the 9th minute of the game Romaine’as Sawyersas decided to return the ball to the goalkeeper, but the pass was too strong and the goalkeeper Samas Johnstone’as reacted too late.

“There was fiction in Liverpool, but now the outlook is bleak,” the strategist wrapped up in words.

At once Marcelo bielsa victories didn’t matter.

“We have only played 16 games in this league so we still have a lot of games and challenges ahead that we will have to overcome before we can firmly say that we belong to the Premier League,” Bielsa said.

Leeds have already won seven of the 16 games. Only six teams in the entire history of the Premier League have achieved more victories in that section. Ms. Bielsa’s students are still in eleventh place.

AT A DISTANCE. Southampton had a chance to get closer to the Quartet but played a draw with team West Ham. A team cannot lead a team for a case of coronavirus in a family environment Ralphas Hasenhuttlis. It is true that the coach was in constant computer communication with both the team and the coaching staff. Still, as the Austrian himself says, this way of communicating is very complicated.

“It just came to our notice then. We held meetings in separate rooms, in the locker room, talked to everyone, explained what I wanted from the team. I spoke to everyone and during the break. Clearly, my assistants did a good job. But the problem is that in this way a person does not see a live image, which makes it very difficult to train and concentrate on the matches, ”said the specialist.

ATKUTO? After a catastrophic stage, London Arsenal are reaping their second win in a row, this time beating the Brighton boys. Until recently, at the age of sixteen and even at the risk of entering the radioactive fallout zone, “canonists” can now take a break, at least in thirteenth place.

“We had a really bad time,” he said after the game. Mikelis Arteta. – Now our main concern was not the performance, but the result, the points required. Results are necessary to build confidence, and now we have two wins, so we’re all in a much better mood. The best medicine is victory. We are now in a different world than we were before. “

If for some the mood has improved, for others it remains in the dark. The Brighton team has won once in the last 14 games: seven games have been drawn and six losses.

TO DRAW. Once again, champion club Liverpool did not take the opportunity to assert their positions in the standings. This time Jurgeno Kloppo The players played 0: 0 against the Newcastle United footballers and lost two points. This means that Manchester United, who have played less in a match, will now be able to equalize the points balance.

By the way, this is only the first time this season that Liverpool have finished the game scoreless. Although in the match the Reds had more than one particularly good opportunity to score a goal.

“Being in first place is great, but now it doesn’t mean anything,” says Klopp. – Today we played a draw, but we are still the first, this is proof of how difficult this season is for everyone. When life gives you lemon, you must make lemonade. “

This is just the first point the Newcastle team have scored against Liverpool in the last three years.
