His passing goes pretty unnoticed imo. He often picks it up on the left and plays a perfect through ball to Willock, Joelinton, and most recently against Wolves, Isak. Pretty weird to discount someone's best talent as well like. You may as well say that beyond goalscoring Haaland isn't particularly talented, it's meaningless.
-
We get that anyway, usually through the commentators, or eventually. Seems like a total waste of time and effort for what's barely a benefit.
-
I don't really get all of these calls for refs to be mic'd up tbh. I don't really have any interest in hearing them fuck up on top of watching them fuck up. Transparency and explanation doesn't correct a wrong decision, it changes nothing.

The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Keith Andrews appointed at Brentford
Kid Icarus replied to cp40's topic in Football
To me this is all the more reason not to make any rash decisions. I'm not sure what they're expecting Hodgson to do that they weren't already doing. Their run of games since January has been extremely unforgiving: Spurs, Chelsea, Man United, Us, Man United, Brighton, Brentford, Liverpool, Villa, Man City, Brighton, Arsenal. There's not a single match there where I'd expect them to pick up points, yet they drew with Man United, Us, Brighton, Brentford, and Liverpool and even through those matches are sitting top of that 12th to 20th clusterfuck. -
A huge part of Grealish's game is carrying the ball, getting fouled and winning free kicks, something that was also a huge part of Jonas's game.

The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Keith Andrews appointed at Brentford

I don't think Vieira is incredible or anything, but the manager doesn't seem like the problem with Palace to me, with their squad I wouldn't expect them to be much higher than where they are with the way this season's panned out. It's not like they were in a terrible position either, every team below Villa's in exactly the same situation and really it's only West Ham, Leicester, and possibly Wolves where you can say they should definitely be doing better with the players they have. -
Jesus Christ madras

He's a £100m player I don't think he's underrated like, you'd expect more than a better version of Jonas Guttierez for that money.
-
Keegan couldn't have possibly been vindicated more than with how Modric turned out like. That absolute chancer Jiminez telling one of the best midfielders of all time that he wasn't good enough.

That's an absolutely mad decision imo. -
Same applies tbh. To me he's a pointless stepping stone signing at best
-
It was originally a circle for 60 years like. Personally think it looks miles better in this case.
-
We're already a win away from moving into that dream situation of 3rd. Providing we end up in a CL spot, it goes without saying that we should be aiming for better players than McTominay
-
Such an obvious thing to say, but if it was Harry Kane rather than Mitro, they'd all be falling over themselves to play down what he did.
-
It's almost funny in a self-depreciating way

Confidently speaking on behalf of an entire country

If he's hiding from the ball, it negates everything. I'm not saying he does, but it's undeniable that it doesn't look good if lots of supporters of a club are saying the same thing.
-
If he does hide from the ball - something that seems to be a popular opinion on the Man United reddit - then it's hardly silly to draw from that that we wouldn't keep possession as well as we could like. I don't rate McTominay whatsoever, I think he's a poor footballer for the level that we're aspiring to, so hopefully we can all look forward to a better signing than him.
-
Howe's very good at turning water to wine, I think what I'd prefer would be for him to turn wine into wine from the holy grail.
-
I think we all know you can. Anyone criticising what is quite clearly a potential transfer that's open to scrutiny and there you are.
-
I can't stand it when they'll say what's basically akin to 'yes, this is fucked up, but the officials were following the rules' when even on that level it's clear that that's not really the case and they've fucked up.
-
I disagree tbh. Imo ultras are largely just firms with tifos, both engage in hooliganism and are romantiscised in different ways.
-
Hopefully Howe's radar is right next to a button that shoots a torpedo hahahhaah
-
We do, they're just called firms imo. Barely any difference between them, if at all.
