The Footie Thread

[Tashyboy]

If West Ham can qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League, does that mean Rotherham Utd can qualify as Papa Johns Trophy winners?
Up the Millers!

Neilds are Rotherham stuttering. Look a bit like Scottie (cost a pair of shoes) scheffler at the 18th at the moment. Yet they dominated the division for so long.

Well, Tottenham scoring that many goals in 2 games would be highly against the odds in the 1st place!
One of Kanes 'qualities' is that he's so dangerous that he drags defences away for others to pounce on. Might not help his statistics, but helps the team ones!

it’s odd you say that. I thought the same about Son a few seasons back and said the same at the time. I really liked him And still do. Yet others thought he was rammel.

I think he's always been pretty good, but has improved his versatility so not just pouncing on opportunities from Kane. Haven't actually seen all that much of him (or Tottenham in general), so that perception could be... rammel!

Great game yesterday, they must be the best two teams in Europe by a country mile, astonishing stuff.
I really can't see how any Liverpool fan can moan on about tactical fouling anymore, talk about desperation fouls in that final 10 minutes

Personally i've never had a problem with City tactical fouling or any other team for that matter. I love it, it's a part of football that has to stay.

It's how it gets managed by the refs that annoys me.

If and I don’t know because I Never saw the game. Was it Karma, is it what comes around goes around. I don’t know. Personally from a city fans point of view they don’t have a leg to stand on re complaining. But I totally agree it’s how it is managed by refs that is the problem.

There was nothing out of the ordinary in the game for me.

Apart from VAR checking for a penalty and the ref giving a goal kick.
It was clear and obviously wrong?

Refs can’t use VAR to change his decision for instances you mention.

OOoo Liverpool do a few fouls so we can't complain about City anymore. Get over yourselves. The same Liverpool who are often top of the fair play league?

City have been systematic about it and the former City coach Mikel Arteta even made reference about it in the past.

We did it in a game, they have done it for 5 years, so behave.

Thiago was a very lucky boy, yup. Nowhere as lucky as Kompany's tackle on Mo the other year which was a straight red, never mind a second yellow.

I don't like the high line that we operate, but it obviously has great results, but against City there are times we should drop off just another 5-10 yards as their delivery is better than everyone else, and it's also into world class players, so feel we should alter our approach at least against them.

Yes I know but if they are going to have it then use it for obvious errors.
Just thought it was out of the ordinary

The high line works, but theres no room for error. Matip wasnt out quick enough.

We cant just drop 5-10yrds because our whole game is based on that high line. It works and the stats have proved it works well. Stick with it.

As Lucky as Milner against City earlier in the season?

Great first half for Chelsea, given themselves a chance to get through now

Both ties ideally poised now, Munich need something against Villareal still

They have done well so far but a long way to go.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Now we have a game. Can Chelsea keep this intent and keep on playing this way. Real definitely need to wake up
