2024-25 Premier League Thread

I dunno. His crosses are his party piece, but Digne is also pretty great at soaking up pressure and winning loose balls. He's just a savvy operator all over the pitch. I get that he makes mistakes in space, but so does basically every other fullback in pro football. And honestly, by my memory at least two of those crosses absolutely should have ended up with chances had the other guys been remotely switched on. I'm not sure what sort of brain funk Watkins is going through, but he needs to snap out of it ASAP.

What you don't get from Digne is that little run into space that Maatson made on the goal. He just doesn't have the burst for that stuff, but at least he's smart enough to know it and not run himself into trouble the way Cash routinely does.
 
Multiple reports that Julen Lopetegui will be sacked at West Ham today, to be replaced by Graham Potter. The Hammers are 14th with 23 points in 20 matches and a -15 goal differential, tied with Ipswich for 3rd worst in the league.
 
Interesting that Potter has been out for so long since getting sacked by Chelsea. I know he was still getting paid, but normally you see those guys back on the hamster wheel a lot quicker.
