Pata

It's really frustrating watching him in the final third this season, left or right. He's overly safe and passive and just kind of exists in great positions without really wanting to do anything. Great example today in the first half when he played a pass to a tight space on the edge of the box but didn't move for the one-two thinking he had already done his job. Needs to be more decisive and trust his skills more, everyone knows he can be electric on the ball. Thankfully he's still really solid defensively and this is hopefully just drop in form on possession and something that can be worked on considering his natural talent.

90 minutes to start and there’s been a helicopter in the air for two hours following the away fans I guess. Seat should be pretty far from either set of ultras, looking forward to it.

Very similar but they had even more clear cut chances against us. Still extremely lucky for them to win that game.

Well done, wish Klopp had the same rules.

If it was corrupt all these decisions would’ve gone the other way tbf.

He’s been on fire this season, finally delivering.

Should we perhaps make it subjective and add another layer to officiating?

Slavia's player got suspended for 10 matches for racism against Glen Kamara when he was playing for Rangers. They played against Sparta in next season's Europa League behind closed doors due to another racism incident and the school kids that were allowed to enter the stadium booed Kamara's every touch. Fucking hell, Czechia. https://yle.fi/a/3-12124714

I've bought the hospitality package once at SJP, doubt I'll do it again but I really wanted a ticket for the Crystal Palace match last season when we had the forum meet up. Obviously hurts a lot more as a local but when you are spending decent amount on flights and accommodation in any case, doing a £100-200 ticket for a guaranteed seat isn't that bad once or twice a season.

Obviously it's a lot of money for one match but not that bad for a one off derby match and this will most likely be the only time I'm in Prague at the right time.

I've done that too.

Has anyone been to football in Czechia? Going there this weekend with lass and noticed Sparta-Slavia is on Saturday. Also how heated the derbies are? 18k stadium sold out but can see tickets on Viagogo for €80-100 which isn't that unreasonable. Worth it?

He followed their CF there like he always does. Got done by a lucky bounce though. Schär in a tough spot but he has to step up and pray for offside or start running back a lot earlier.

It doesn't really make much sense mathematically. We would have to be heavy favourites (~65%) in all the last four FA Cup rounds to have as good a chance to lift the FA Cup as beating Liverpool in a one off match is.

He's an obvious B with ceiling at A in the future if he can stay fit.

Just like our fans, they just keep going even after FT.

He doesn't care about it so neither should anyone. I don't think I've watched a match outside of the final but it's a great idea. The money these minnows get for it is lifechanging.

Joelinton does that every match. Game is so gone.

That red ffs.

Atalanta-Brugge is mad, fucking hell. What a shocker.

Why would it be embarrassing?

Came from behind to take points more than ever this season though. Good point as usual.

I fucking hate the celebration policing. They just got a really late equaliser against their much better local rivals, when are they allowed to celebrate?

Triple captaining Salah worked alright, still has the 9 bonus points to be added for this match.

Looking at understat, they are 9th in expected points. Wood has scored 5 goals above his xG and they've been pretty lucky defending (over 5 less goals conceded than xG). Probably pretty similar to that one Pardew season and feels like they'll struggle a lot next season with the almost guaranteed extra games in Europe.
