Very close pk call there.

Drury asked the guy doing color with him yesterday... “if you were manager would you encourage or tolerate it” to which he took the stereotypical Brit stance of “no way would I let that fly” and then within the same sentence said “yeah I probably would since the rules practically make you (embellish) [emoji23]

Stereotypical and hypocritical all in one thought. [emoji636]!

It goes down to that idea that players are taught now to initiate contact and this idea that when made they have some sort of right to go down. It just muddies the waters so much. Refs are partially to blame but personally i think they are in a no win situation especially with the addition of VAR. Make a rash decision or make none at all and let VAR sort it out yet not have any accountability from the players if it turns out to be a farce of a play. If these leagues are going to use VAR, then at least use it also to also punish when players insult the integrity of the game.

So Pogba is unhappy yet again. As far as I’m concerned he can go and take his hair gel and dye with him. There is no doubting his talent but there’s just something off. He doesn’t want to do the work necessary to have himself planted squarely in the lineup for this team.

I definitely don’t have sympathy for Brighton for that penalty call considering what they were given last week. But I do have sympathy for the fact they had to endure another shocking performance from the same referee who seems to just be making errors at this point to keep his name relevant.

Mina Raiola can be a real clown. He went after Klopp for not playing Balotelli when he arrived. Liverpool Balotelli....

Although I’m not married to defensive stats I do like them, especially when they reinforce what your eyes see.

Just an unreal amount of responsibility placed upon Bruno in progressing the ball while still chipping in with slightly above average defensive contributions (tackles, interceptions, aerial duals won, etc...).

Bruno, Kante, Hojberg, Phillips, Mount and a few others all having outstanding seasons so far.

A few years ago, Liverpool fans (the idiot sect) used to beat this idea into the ground that Henderson only passed sideways or backwards. Look at ya boy now!

Re: 2020-2021 English Football Thread

Every time I see him play I wonder why we aren’t in for Phillips instead of Rice.

Though Rice is 4 years younger so not as if he wouldn’t be able to progress to that point.

Jack Grealish...

Re: 2020-2021 English Football Thread

Remember when Arsenal allowed Man United to buy a league title for £24m? According to RVP, before that transfer he agreed to personal terms with Juventus, but Ivan Gazidis did not want to discuss a transfer with them.

**** Gazidis so much.

Looks like him and Ross both got off since they eat together all the time at their training ground .

Makes sense

Oh, that wasn't what I was referring to. He was trending on Twitter, this morning for a photo with a woman. A photo that can't be posted here, if you know what I'm saying...
