Fantail Breeze Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Found it really strange how Chelsea seemed to settle for the draw at the end. They were well on top and then seemed to slow everything down completely. Mendy seemed intent on wasting time. Also completely irritating for me as I needed one more goal for £460.

He led with his elbow and hit him in the face with the leading arm. I don't see how it can be anything but a red if there's contact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 We were missing 16 players yesterday, due to both injuries and Covid, and nonetheless managed to sqweak out a 0-1 win against an - admittedly poor - Mallorca side. Despite our awful start we're now 1 point off 4th place, I'll take that. Getting Pedri, Fati and Torres into the side will be a huge boost. Hopefully they all stay healthy.

I don't see how it can be anything but a red if there's contact. Don’t know what it actually says in regards to the law for violent conduct/serious foul play or whatever it falls under. But is ‘led with the arm’ just a commentators thing? Won’t you always lead with your arm to some degree if jumping side on for a ball and reaching for it like that? You don’t keep your arms down by your sides going for a header. I agree with Neville. He hasn’t gone in to do him or swung an elbow to make contact. I think it’s a yellow.

Froggy Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Matic or McTominay CB more than likely. Would be good to get Jones a few games though so we can get a few million from someone in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I quite like McTominay after previously not rating him, he could be for a Man Utd what Henderson is to LFC, but he’s surrounded by the wrong type of players and I’d say people saying he’s not at the required level for a title team, which has been labelled at him, his more illustrious team-mate Pogba who on his day is absolute class, isn’t or hasn’t shown either, and that’s because of an imbalance and players being the wrong fit. I guess I’m saying some teams need certain right fits and McTominay strikes me as being more of a right fit in the right team like Henderson become for a LFC. He’s a level or 3 ahead of Longstaff, he’d be great here if we ever got the chance to sign him/Man Utd we’re to sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember watching Neville , I wish I could remember the game and he just looked completely done , like the game was too fast for him, I’m sure he retired after it. It was tough to watch Remember it being sudden for Neville as well, could be the quality dipped around him too, didn’t have the support he once had. For me, Walker strikes me as a dense but talented player who probably trains and takes care of himself “just enough” while also being a touch irresponsible. Getting caught out during lockdown, some of his other shenanigans, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He constantly seems to play really well whenever I watch your games, he’s not world-class and never will be, but sometimes you need a player who can just do the basics and play a more sensible and balanced game. Doesn’t seem to shirk like some of your players have been doing lately… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the midfields of the big clubs he doesn’t get in any of them. I wouldn’t have him over Ndidi or Tielmans either. Neves is a better footballer than him at wolves. Hojberg ditto at Spurs. Even Allan and Doucore at Everton are better players and offer more. Man United can’t persist with Fred/McTom if they want to start winning leagues He’s not at their level, but I think he could hold his own in a team with players of that level, alongside and next to him anyway. He does lack real mobility though and has next to no creativity in driving forward with the ball or even off the ball positionally, he’s a simple short range pass and go, neat and tidy, get back in position, sit, hold and give it to the better footballers type of player which is no bad thing in the right team alongside better technical players.
