Middlesbrough are officially the dullest club in the country. Them getting humped by a quality PL team is hardly news. The FA Cup is all about seeing the minnows punching, so ABSOLUTELY you want to see some non-leaguers making a game of it, and some old third division junk giving a PL team a...
Its quite plain. Salah was offside when the cross came in. The defender wasn't to know and so attempted to deal with it, but dropped it into Salah's path, who then finished with a goal.
It should've been flagged offside at the point the ball was played in. He WAS offside.
I am perfectly calm, thank you for your concern. I'm just not quite ready to bin off a prize asset like Trossard quite as readily as some folk on here, neither am I convinced he is Bissoumaring his way out. Time will tell.
Going into my 3rd year of subscription for IPTV on my Firestick, I've been paying £50 a year. Absolutely pays for itself within a month or two, fantastic streaming service. I still subscribe to Sky Sports because I'm always using Sky Go on my laptop/phone, and also Amazon Prime. But it comes...
How good was van Hecke ? My first proper look at him today.
He muffed one headed challenge in the first half which resulted in them getting in behind, but other than that, he was imperious. Composure, anticipation, positioning, always looked like he had oodles of time on the ball and sprayed it...
Agreed, I thought Lamptey looked very sharp and contributed to our forward momentum superbly. Not quite sure what he did wrong ? Its not like we had any defending to do.
Trossard has ALWAYS blown hot and cold, this dip in form is nothing new. I'd be very sad and disappointed to see him leave off the back of a few ropy performances during a VERY small window since the PL resumed.
When he's on his game he is a joy to watch, absolutely sublime. There's no reason...
Good post, but a couple of points.
1. Southampton didn't press. They didn't do anything, they just stood off, which enabled us to run rings around them. I was ASTONISHED at the amount of space we were afforded there. They literally stood there watching us playing it around them.
2. As Mike...
If I'd read that the president of FIFA was taking selfie pictures of himself directly next to the freshly dead corpse of Pele, I'd have had to have seen it to believe it. I still find it quite mindblowing, tbh.
Tonights wouldn't have got as far as a penalty if the ref had done his job properly. Lamptey darted round one of their players down the right, beat him all ends up and was then CLEARLY tugged back from behind - but he didn't hit the deck. Two passes later the ball was in our box, and you know...
First time we've won away from home in an orange kit on a Tuesday night under a Tory government in the top flight during a rail strike with a World Cup winner coming off the bench while Taken was on ITV4.
"There are points within a game where you might be looking towards containment and trying to keep things tight for a while, but I don't think it works to have that mindset as a starting point. How do you grow if that is your consistent way of approaching these types of games ? I'm not sure you...
Well observed. He was spraying it around like an absolute wrong-un all night, that pass out to Mitoma for the opener was EVIL. At times it looked like there was 2 of him on the pitch, he was bloody everywhere. Utterly ran the show, what a talent he is.
Tarkowski and Mee at Burnley used to drive me absolutely bananas, they would slide and block absolutely EVERYTHING thrown at them. That certainly wasn't the same Tarkowski tonight. He's well and truly caught the EFC shit virus. Mind you, he got relegated last season so maybe he's been on the...
