26/27 PL Score Centre GW1

[Untouchable]

My bold, bold prediction is that Coventry are going to find it difficult to avoid the drop.

I have no idea why so many pundits have Coventry staying up. They look dreadful.

 

[GlasgowBee]

Arsenal are passing them to pieces in the final third, they look like scoring everytime they advance in Coventry.

 

[WarrenBee]

I have no idea why so many pundits have Coventry staying up. They look dreadful.

And they're the best of the bunch that came up!!

 

[GlasgowBee]

When Coventry get the ball they have a few passes and its just a case of one being slightly not perfect and Arsenal regain possession. Its then a case of Arsenal come forward or Coventry give away a free kick.

The sharpness of their passing is poor.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Cov are getting their bottoms smacked here.

Whilst I’m at it, Lampard was sh*t as Everton manager with a win rate of 27% and won only ONE match when caretaker at Chelsea. Yet Lampard has nowhere near the scrutiny KA had before last season.

At some point, they’ll learn that being a very good PL player does not mean you’ll be a very good PL manager.

 

[Lbhbee]

Newly promoted teams that have been outside the top flight for a longtime don't beat teams like Arsenal on their first game unless they are quite special

Onyeka not outstanding then?

Arteta looking at the other bench right now:

Prior to the second goal the commentators were musing about the loyalty of FL saying they thought after promotion he might leave Coventry hoping for one of the big boys coming in for him, it was at that point Arsenal waltzed through the FL's sky blues to pop it in the onion bag!

 

[Hampshire Bee 2018]

Coventry look dreadful.

 

[LongLostBee]

Coventry look dreadful.

Far too passive and against much better sides that’s exactly what you can’t be. Made it far too easy for Arsenal to relax and play it about. Rather than being a battle.

How we attacked Arsenal at the GTech last season should be the model for these types of matches.

Welcome to the Premiership Coventry . Their fans who predicted a 2-1 away win are now getting a taste of what they will face this season.

Onyeka just running around chasing a ball that’s he’s never likely to get close to.
Coventry look dreadful, although Arsenal are making them look poor with done very crisp footy

 

[malkay]

ATM I need a good laugh so hope Coventry win . Whatever the result it'll mean Jack all in nine months time

My condolences on the unwanted pregnancy. Incredible you already know it's a boy. Science, eh?

 

[JCMcBee]

...what is the point of having this as the first game of the season... premiership v championship winners...non event...no imagination....borefest.....'welcome to the Premier League'....no need for that....clown.

 

[Banana]

Half-time interviews with PLAYERS now!

 

[Jezybee]

...what is the point of having this as the first game of the season... premiership v championship winners...non event...no imagination....borefest.

Could have said that 5 years ago and look what happened then. So much so the current Arsenal goalkeeper has the date tattooed on the back of his neck.

 

[kaebess]

Coventry can’t set up like this all season. I think Frank will be happy because he can say to the players next week. Ok we’ve had our day out now you got to do what I tell you.

We ruined it for newly promoted teams for the next decade

 

[Edmundo]

I was expecting Coventry to be poor and they have exceeded my expectations.

 

[Boston Bee]

Half-time interviews with PLAYERS now!

Disgusting Americanisation of the PL. tv breaks and quarters not far away next.

... Coventry aren't at home....lambs and mint sauce at the Emirates FFS....and you might argue this is a slightly better Arsenal side than that never to be forgotten evening.

 

[bexleybee]

Think we might get our first Lampardian transition of the season tonight

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

New Arsenal winger!! Why weren’t we warned about him!

 

[GlasgowBee]

Half-time interviews with PLAYERS now!

Im not sure that has added anything to the experience, it's a game of two halves and the orange and pep talk in the middle should just be left alone

If only Coventry could have been at home tonight....

 

[Freebee]

Some harsh comments on here,Coventry are playing the favourites to win the league at their place in their first game back,that's some baptism of fire.

We used to think of these games against the top 6 away from home as a free hit,we might still think we wouldn't get much at those places even now.I'll judge them when they've played a few more games than this one.

 

[LongLostBee]

And they just trot out boring media-training waffle. So unnecessary.

You maybe right there.
With all this American investment in the premier league, it may not be far away?
I hope not..

 

[LongLostBee]

What a sh*t goal.
“They are smooth” pffft

Lots of spaces in the Coventry section, maybe they have given up, or did they not sell out

Last train no doubt.

 

[Jezybee]

Brighton really do pull other clubs’ pants down in the transfer market. Coventry paid them £22.5 (rising to £30m with add ons) for Rushworth who has looked entirely unremarkable.

 

[readingbee]

I was expecting Coventry to be poor and they have exceeded my expectations.

I’d hate to see Ethan go to this lot. Rather a Championship club playing for promotion.

 

[LongLostBee]

Keeper looks very green. Think they’ll concede a fair few at set pieces Coventry.

 

[Plymouth Bee]

Last train no doubt.

Last train leaves Euston for Coventry at 23 30........

I bet it's a slow one that goes via Northampton.

Its a fair point, we started last season looking sh*te v Florist

 

[Plymouth Bee]

Yes, looks like it - 1hr 49 journey time. There's also a 23 24 which is a few minutes quicker. There was a problem earlier between Watford Jn and Milton Keynes which is now resolved but which might have prompted Cov fans to head home early.

Has Raya had some cosmetic surgery? I don't recognise him.

Think they’ll just concede loads from anywhere

...stand up for the champions they sing...forget Infantino....those at EPL need shooting as having this as the opening fixture.

FT
Arsenal 3-0 Coventry

Coventry are bottom of the PL. They better get used to hearing this.

 

[Banana]

Arsenal taking the foot of the gas pedal there. Not champions material IMO.

 

[bexleybee]

Were we really expecting anything else tonight?

Coventry mustering just a single shot on target

Onyeka finishes top of the stats for Coventry!
