Not surprised at all. Said it last season, the stuff he was doing for Blackburn was never going to be replicable in the PL.
What a waste of money Adam Armstrong has been so far, doesn’t even get on in a game like this
It's easy to pick fault in Armstrong's game though too, which I know seems crazy...
If you look at his goal tally vs his xG they are almost identical i.e. he scores about the same amount of goals as you'd expect from the chances he's had. Elite strikers typically slightly exceed their xG by converting some of the tougher opportunities.
Armstrong's goal tally is massively swayed by the sheer amount of shots he takes. He averaged an incredible record 4.7 shots per game in the Championship this season, smashing the previous record high of 3.9 but he takes a lot of long range, low quality shots. Is that him being selfish or because the team doesn't create enough? Either way, Blackburn rely on him too much - he scored 43% of all their goals & his chances alone made up 39% of their total xG!
He also missed 23 'Big Chances' which was the most in the league.
No doubt he's an exceptional player at this level, but these are the kind of things Premier League teams will be looking at to decide if he can make the transition.
Saka is some player
I still haven't forgiven him for bottling that penalty against Italy.
they need to stick with a manager and let them build. they're past the sign one or two big names and everything will be fine point.Big job to repair Man Utd

They need to sign players for the style of play not sign players and try to find one.
Everton knackered now for me , didn't expect Burnley to get the points they have.. Everton run in too hard

Really hope everton go down. A trip to goodison park next season wouldn’t be too bad! My mate is a liverpool season ticket holder and i’m going with him today - will be an interesting game as both teams are in desperate need of a win
Cheers mate - I am looking forward to it. I took this same mate to the sheffield united game so if it’s anything like that i’ll be happy!Have a good one mate. Been to Anfield a few times, great fans and a great atmosphere
Definite 6 pointer. Would Everton dare attack? Soon as they go forward it’ll be a Liverpool goal.
Leeds right back into it now too, terrible goal difference on top.
Hmmm, but they have a game in hand, until tomorrow anyway vs Palace. Good thing Villa had a new-manager bump otherwise they'll be in trouble as well.
