Lukaku doesn't play bad, his teammates just don't combine with him when he makes runs. Maybe due to lack of trust or dressing room thing but they could have played him through on goal a few times and didn't for much worse choices.

Cruiserweight? Usyk will become the undisputed heavyweight champion, book it.

The line they drew for Mane was literally behind his foot. :lol:

Offside is taken from any parts of the body which can score... Mane was offside. What the fuck is the point of VAR? It didn't take any controversy out of football, it made it even more controversial as fans become utterly baffled how obvious calls are missed by this amazing and all seeing...

You'd rather play Braithwaite why? Because he scored 2 goals once?

I get it. You think because there is no clear statistical explanation for what you see, it must mean it is simply just tremendous luck on a scale we've never seen before. Madrid scored clutch goals with Ronaldo/Benzema/Bale. Man City have a bunch of fake strikers and wingers that hardly score...

It might not be a statistic, or something we can plot on a chart, but we can all see what happens in front of us. They have been doing this in knockout ties for decades now. Probability would suggest it isn't luck and it is part of them.

After that Silva goal where they could feel a bit hard done by they just kept playing and kept pushing. 'What's done is done'. No point complaining and keeping it on your mind, they drove forward and try to find another goal when they could have sulked like we have done in recent games and shut...

You are a man of stats and figures. When something keeps happening, over and over again, it is not luck, it's a constant. It is in their DNA to get lucky and rob teams in the CL.

Never said MATS is good. But people are now extending the 'ass' label to Mendy and Ederson because of mistakes/in Ederson's case nothing really this game lol. First he could have done better but 2nd is tough to save even from a favourable angle.

Every single game people say that keepers are 'channeling MATS' or making huge fuckups. What if being a keeper especially at this high level is just harder than it looks. Whenever an attacker gets that close to the goal there is a high chance of scoring even if at a bad angle, they can shoot it...

So now you care about assists? I thought they didn't matter before.

Prefer to kick out the veterans even if there isn't immediate replacements. Need to get used to life without them and their presence is becoming negative and toxic recently. Also saves a lot of money spent for their miniscule on field contributions. And all this 'Busquets is unreplaceable'...

https://youtu.be/vrPNv5lfhAo 1.30 The penalty itself doesn't seem stonewall in the slightest.

That angle doesn't. Clearly remember commentators saying it was ruled out for a offside in the buildup tho so may have not been that frame.

Looks off. Also, exact same foul yesterday wasn't given for Everton either. Just bc the hands go up doesn't mean ref will give it every time, watch the replay, Gavi goes flying as if he got hit by a truck.

Can we stop blaming the refs? There was an offside in the build up that's why he didn't give a pen. They added 11 minutes for us to score and we couldn't. It is defeatist behaviour to blame refs as a reason we are losing, especially based on examples which aren't even true. We have gotten...

2 problems - Front 3 is constantly the width of the pitch from each other, making meaningful combinations and attempts to gain numerical superiority in an attack impossible because of the predictability and rigidness. And also, there is nobody connecting the play in that wide open space higher...

Yes, it is the most rigid structure I have ever seen in any top club. Wingers holding width at all times and pretty much never leaving the touchline. His idea is probably that it ensures we have options everywhere on the field but it does precisely the opposite - the opponents adjust and ensure...

The problems start from the top. The front 3 is 100 yards apart. In a 433 it is impossible to play like this, the CF is isolated against the entire backline and with no AM the wingers can do nothing but pass back, an endless cycle as the wingers will never be able to combine with Auba. Teams...
