  1. One of the big myths in football...pens are a lottery. Nonsense. It's a skill and a test. We aren't mentally strong enough for it. Rashford taking a pen like that at this stage.... unbelievable. Knew we'd lose as soon as he did that
  2. Lcfc first but during summer tournaments I forget about Leicester until England get knocked out. Do really look forward to tournaments and always really behind England. But when we do inevitably get knocked out, it isn't the same level of feeling as Leicester losing. For example is losing to Croatia in the semi I was really annoyed and deflated. But when we lost to Villa in the semis i was really fuming and was for much longer than the England game. Hard to explain really. I don't care about England in non tournaments though, never go out of my way to watch qualifiers. But will ensure I'm off for work during tournaments
  3. This is absolutely awful to watch. Should cut to studio or something different.
  4. Chilwell is still a bit of a cvnt....but he played very well tonight. Defensively possibly the best I've seen him. Kante is different class. Love watching him
  5. Agree mate. Kante is the counter attack king, and he's had far too much time and space to drive the ball forward.
  6. Chelsea have played well and just about deserve the lead. Man City are very vulnerable at the back, problem is teams give them too much respect and put emphasis on stopping them. They're beatable if you're brave and take chances
  7. Think he's lost the attractive football tag. I can't think of the last time we played decent football. I'm not saying it's bad right now, but it's hardly flowing. Not even creating chances any more. Another myth is that Rodgers teams get better over a season. Not in our example
  8. What do you mean the aerial part is gone? I'm talking about set pieces aerially, hence the amount of goals we've let in. I'd like to see some stats on amount of goals we have let in like this. How many times do you watch a game and the corner goes straight to the keeper? Maybe it's just our attacking corners that do that. My point is I don't always believe the opposition corners are that good, but they put the ball towards Kasper because they know he struggles in the air. Other teams know this by now
  9. I don't think we did sit back today even when we should have done at 2-1. He tried to park the bus at home to Man City and Chelsea away, it failed easily. When ahead like in the final or today we should have done that. Tactically he gets so much wrong
  10. I'd go all out if we're shit in the league and going no where. Probably bottle it Vs Legia Warsaw at home to a couple of set pieces
  11. Can't blame him if he wanted to go really. Deserves champions league football, we have missed the boat again and I can't see another chance. Would leave here a legend for this season and the fa cup.
  12. Gets tactics wrong in big league games too often. Team selection and style of play Tuesday was all wrong. We gave Chelsea an easy ride. Today, having Ndidi out the midfield let them have an easy supply up the pitch. Can't believe we didn't put Amartey on, or even Fuchs or Morgan. Least it would give us more experience. He likes to overthink too much. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a lot of praise, but questions should be asked too about many things. Including failing twice to get over the line for top four and absolutely shocking home form this season. I'd love to know the excuses for abysmal defensive record too.
  13. Disappointing to miss out on top four again. Really don't think we'll have a chance like these two we've just had. Big clubs only going to spend and invest more, their squad sizes we can't compete with. I'm not arsed about Europa League at all. Would rather we'd have won the cup and finished 8th. Our home form has been a shambles. Losing nine games, you'd expect a team in the bottom five to have that record. We didn't deserve top four
  14. Looked like Cardiff. Played like them in last 20 mins too.
  15. Great keepers are good in the air and command the box from set pieces. Kasper does not do that. I think he is a massive reason we're so shit defending aerially. Also the difference between him being a good keeper and a great keeper.
  16. Embarrassing bottle job again. Do we actually bother to practice defending corner??? Genuinely looks like we don't bother. Pitiful. To have two pens and fold to a poor Spurs team is shite.
  17. Got the obligatory Kane handicap out the way. Now let's push and win this. Come on
  18. He's not good enough, simple. Works hard but ultimately is purely ineffective. His goals and stats are poor. He's got a bit of a rep for missing big chances too. Remember near the end of a home game not long ago he had a easier chance and skied it...might have been the Man U cup game or Liverpool at home? Had a chance to get all the glory and all supporters behind him but didn't take it again. It's a chance any top division player should score.
  19. We were out the top four prior to game 38 if I recall correctly
