  1. Sad that it took an injury crisis for him to get a chance. You just don't know how someone is going to perform until you stick them in a PL game, especially not flashy, all rounder centre mids like Longstaff

    How that Almiron foul wasn't given, right in front of the linesman, is beyond me. Watching that back now, even slowing it down to 0.5x I can't see a foul at all tbf. Raul touches Almiron's back and he collapses like a deck of cards. He had the chance to just hoof it Being a contrarian 24/7 must be so cool. Alright Mr. Goebbels
  3. I didn't watch enough football when Rooney was in his prime to have a real opinion on this but think in general players who go through a major decline at the end of their careers get underrated and players who have a bit of a renaissance towards the end of their career get overrated

    We made a sub in time-on, which is an automatic 30 second addition. You could see the ref look at his watch in the 94th minute (the commentators mentioned it) and think "one more phase" - perhaps that decision is questionable but the refs union would agree 100% with that decision. The goal went in at 94.37 didn't it? 7 seconds "over". Whether it's a foul or not, whether Almiron was fouled or not, whether Moutinho should have been on the pitch - these are all different questions. But I don't think we can quibble with the time-on. One more phase ? As much as I want rugby style officiating in football that's too much. A ref isn't going to blow the final whistle when one team is almost in the other team's box like
  5. It is when no fucker else gets that time added on. They do if there's been a sub
  6. It was no? i've only seen it once mind. Besides it shouldn't matter as the game should have been over long before then. Not sure where the ref got the extra near minute from. Our sub
  7. Manquillo isn't that bad on the right IMO, awful on the left though
  8. Aye it’ll be an improvement but from what I’ve seen they’re pretty reluctant to overturn the ref’s decision unless its offside or something

    Lascelles should've been sent off against Huddersfield
  10. Except that it is in the goal area, which will always by the rules favor the keeper. Is that a rule?
  11. Was really lively and always wanted the ball which was encouraging. Early days all the same, a lot different being a starter to being a sub
  12. Was terrible throughout but that few minutes at the start of the second half
  13. Agreed. Also we played well but Wolves had lots of chances, draw was probably a fair result
  14. In real time I don't think it looks like a foul at all. Dubravka's technique is all wrong
  15. Aye, this is correct IMO unfortunately. Thought he should have blew the whistle when Traore had the shot blocked personally but can see why he didn't
  16. Love how much Almiron is trying to get on the ball
  17. Atsu is literally playing on the left of a midfield three like. Think Diame will come in for him soon
