adejo92 Posted 31 December 2023 Share Posted 31 December 2023 (edited) I've never really noticed it, certainly to the extent I do now...but I've seen so many mistakes in the premier league so far, similar to the ones we always make playing out from the back, whereby they are always punished. Tottenham's first today for example. Not sure we fully appreciate how many mistakes we have gone unpunished for this season thanks to opposition strikers being horrific. Even Mads for example. I rate him but if some of his passing was against premier league opposition, he'd have been responsible for numerous goals conceded.

I dont know how you haven't noticed it haha Football league goal show is like 20% goals scored from teams trying to get their caveman defenders to play like Pirlo.

I think it's probably not so much that I've not noticed it completely, but I've never noticed it as a direct risk to our style of play and relative to the mistakes we make week in and week out. Right now, we forgive it because we just end up looking at the person sat next to us, raise an eyebrow & watch the opposition striker sail the ball out for a throw in. People will be less forgiving watching Mads pick the ball out his net after every dodgy pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will be less forgiving watching Mads pick the ball out his net after every dodgy pass. It will be the same for the 1st time Mads gets lobbed, there will be uproar from fans and ridicule from ‘pundits’ & media but as I mentioned it’s a game of percentages with risk v reward. Thing is Mads HAS to play so high because we play fan’s favourite Vestergaard carrying out his role but as I say risk v reward we are 25 games in and it’s not happened once yet so in a season you might find it happens once, twice at a push in the premier league which doesn’t add up to sacking it off and have him stay in his box.

Fear Of The Fox Posted 1 January Share Posted 1 January Am I getting blind? How's this a penalty? It should be a straight red card for simulation instead. Great penalty kick from Salah. It reminded me when I was 4yrs old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great penalty kick from Salah. It reminded me when I was 4yrs old. I can see why the referee gave it, it felt like a late desperation lunge. Then the question becomes, is there enough to overturn… I’m surprised the referee didn’t take a trip to the monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear Of The Fox Posted 1 January Share Posted 1 January I can't stand Klopp. Does he think the opposition isn't allowed to commit fouls? Does he want the sport tailored to his own gestapo rules? He can go manage a curling team if he doesn't want the opposition to touch any of his primadonnas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
