Champions League 2022-23

[bovril]

so conflicted by Liverpool trouncing Rangers, like I am about Truss destroying both the conservatives and the country

[spacemunky]

Really thought Rangers had that one.

[leicsmac]

Rangers fanbase with their past Orangemen fascination annoy me much more than Liverpools, so this was highly amusing.

Inter fvcked this so badly

Couldn't see a thread for it, but Hearts are getting thrashed by Fiorentina in the Europa League at half-time.

To go with the 4-0s defeats they have suffered at home.

 

Man U still getting late winners at Old Trafford then. 

[Stinkenzo]

West Ham have an absolutely piss easy group, Anderlecht and Steaua arent what they used to be

Just knew that would happen - quite annoying.

They've saved themselves from embarrassment.

How is Mahrez continuously allowed to take penalties...

Agree, he’s always been shit at them

[EastAnglianFox]

The only thing that confuses me more than Brendan and his height is the fact that Mahrez still believes he's an elite penalty taker....like wtf, how is he still on them

Mahrez can actually score penalties, now, then?

It's not the worst miss. The final pass isn't that good as it goes behind and catches the other player off the pace forcing him to a left footed control. In fact it's both their fault. Bad pass and not well timed run.

Why do they still let Mahrez take pens

You can tell that he himself doesn't want the opportunity.

Really? To me he always looks like he’s the first to grab the ball wanting to take it.

Yep, Mahrez wants penalties but the weirdest thing was it seemed like his team mates encouraged him to take it. Be they wouldn't if they needed the win. 

 

He has scored a couple of big penalties in his career but has a terrible miss rate.

It's like he was in two minds whether to shoot first time or control the ball and he got a hybrid which made it run out of play. If he miscontrols it, at least he would have had a second stab at it.

He couldn't shoot first time as he was already anticipating a pass timed for his run for an easy right footed scoring. Ball catches him wrong footed and off pace resulting to a bad, heavy first time touch. As I said earlier, it looks like both players are in fault. It happens all the time on amateur 5x5 courts, it's a bit inexcusable at this level. This is why Vardy and Kane (unfortunately) are prolific goal scorers. They know how to time their runs and have the experience to think ahead how a situation in the box could unfold. Ofc the same applies to Haaland. Historically the best strikers in the world of football were always the ones who were clever and somewhat educated. I'm not talking Uni level but I hope you know what I mean.
