Dr.Spaceman Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) 43 minutes ago, Smal said: the standard of goalkeeping in general seems absolutely awful to me. Just a bunch of rando players Liverpool - Allisson Arsenal - Raya Forest - Sels Chelsea - Sanchez Man City - Ederson Brighton - Verbruggen Aston Villa - Martinez Bournemouth - Kepa Newcastle - Pope Fulham - Leno Palace - Henderson Brentford - Flekken Tottenham - Vicario Everton - Pickford Man U - Onana West Ham - Areola Wolves - Sa Ipswich - Muric Leicester - Hermansen Southampton - Ramsdale Loads of genuinely bad keepers for this level and very few good ones. The one area that the English academy setup has not managed to get right since all the other improvements. Contrast to the early to mid 00's when it seemed like everyone bar 2 or 3 had great keepers.

Lush Vlad Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 When Odegaard is on it. He is great to watch. I always remember Buffon just randomly saying Andy Carroll of all people was a ‘paintbrush player’ I think it was because he got away with attempted murder on him in a pre-season game. Anyway, I digress. That description fits Odegaard really well, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFCDoog Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Said it before and I'll say it again, the majority of games are shit these days, been getting worse last few years and will only continue. It's too tactical. Sure you get the odd decent game, Spurs/Bournemouth was alright, as it finished 2 2 it makes it seem better, but it's not like there was a flurry of chances, just the odd good bits of play. The more the players have become highly tuned athletes it's made the games worse too, the better they are technically it just cancels stuff out.

JUICE690 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) Sky always dress this up as an exciting clash but fuck me this toilet. 90's early 2000 were the last time I remember games between theses two as being a decent watch. Shit vs Boring. Edited March 9 by JUICE690 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more the players have become highly tuned athletes it's made the games worse too, the better they are technically it just cancels stuff out. I think every generation always think their era was better. Whether it’s sports, music, how hard people worked etc. I think there’s an element of romanticism and selective memory at times. But I do feel sports science, how well coached and drilled players are, the way tactics have evolved, the in-depth analysis. Often meaning players won’t cross or shoot in certain situations, as the percentages advise against it, as an example. Along with VAR and the diving/cheating getting out of hand. The amount of money involved and PSR/FFP making it even more of a closed shop. Probably a load more I’ve missed. Have lead to a less enjoyable game.

Infinitely Content Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 2 minutes ago, joeyt said: James went to Wigan That's right, and he paved the way for fellow James right back Reece to join Wigan some years later, which paved the way for young Valentino Francisco to leave Chelsea and find his way to Newcastle, where he will profoundly impact the game next Sunday as we lift our first trophy in a lifetime. It all stems back to Tavernier to Wigan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Der Sar was at Fulham FFS plucked out 02/03 as a random comparison: Man U - Barthez Arsenal - Seaman Newcastle - Given Chelsea - Cudicini Liverpool - Dudek Blackburn - Friedel Everton - Wright Southampton - Niemi Man City - Schmeichel Spurs - Keller Boro - Schwarzer Charlton - Kiely Birmingham - Kenna Fulham - Van der Sar Leeds - Robinson Villa - Enckelman Bolton - Jääskeläinen West Ham - James West Brom - Hoult sunderland - Sørensen Obviously some duds in there but just seems stacked by comparison. Don't think I'll remember many of today's PL keepers in 20 years at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
