The Footie Thread

Once again you resort to throwing insults at someone who challenges an opinion

Why is marking someone on a pitch different ?

The players spend 90mins constantly in each other’s faces , grabbing each other , pulling shirts , lifting people up from the ground - yet a 2/3 min conversation with the player at full time is moronic ?‍

Once again Phil your up to your useful tricks

Trolling at its finest, yet play the victim to stay within the rules and not get a ban

Standard

Organisers of the comp playing a blinder. If UK don’t relax their quarantine rules they will loose the semi’s and final at Wembley. Holland refuses to allow Welsh supporters into the country and no sanctions.

Of course. The final would involve the sponsors and the bigwigs and the Wales match only affects the fans. UEFA proved that they care more about the money than the fans when they moved the CL final to Portugal instead of holding it in the UK.

You do understand what “appears” means ?

Do you class Kane as a leader ?

Can you give some examples of where his leadership has shown through over the last couple of years ?

Without being inside a dressing room you're just guessing. Henderson shouts a lot on the pitch so I guess he's a leader? Kane absolutely does that as well so they're on equal footing as far as we know. Anything else is guesswork as I say.

It was always going to happen - for all the ills of the ESL one of the reasons they looked at doing it was to try and wrestle power away from UEFA ,it’s all about their own greed - a lot of the highlights in regards corruption were shining on FIFA but UEFA no better

Do you think that’s all Henderson does - shouts a lot on the pitch ?

Here is one example of what Henderson has also done

Exactly the same as the Champions League final then. The UEFA leopard isn't for changing its spots.

What the hell has that got to do with football? Rashford organised a lot of food for poor children, but that doesn't make him a leader in football terms either does it?

Phil doesn't understand there is a massive difference between a decent Captain and a decent human being

John terry. Amazing captain. Wouldn't trust him around your wife tho

How about we stop the “tit for tat” childish comments before this thread gets locked!

I wonder which country they would take them too - Hungary no doubt will get one - maybe even the final as they could prob fill the stadium full of sponsers.

Trippier is excellent at set pieces.

He is but he can’t take them sitting on the bench.
Mount took most last game and never got one over the first defender.

 

[clubchamp98]

Maybe that will teach some of our pampered stars

They were allowed to play again on the condition they stayed apart when not playing..ie at end of games

Mount has broken it already by meeting up with rice for a kick about

For crying out loud

I'd send them both home

Not sure about sending them home.
But in a pandemic they need to learn to stay apart after the games over.

 

[clubchamp98]

What difference is there between 20 players huddled in the box with many of them on top of each during a corner , or someone closing marking each other for 90 mins , grabbing them , pulling their shirt , seen players from opponents hugging each other at the end of the match - so why does it make a difference 5 mins later in the tunnel ?

The players spend 90 mins getting closer to each then they ever normally would , players are going to catch it regardless

Or does the contact on the pitch not pass Covid ?

Childwell wasn’t on the pitch during the game I think!

 

[AmandaJR]

If the players broke protocol then they pay the price for that. Whether the contact is deemed more or less than what might occur naturally on the pitch is irrelevant. The rules are there for a reason and they know them and knowingly broke them. Tough maybe, but them's the rules lads.

 

[clubchamp98]

Excellent from Holland - from a team written off by a number before the start they are impressing , DeBoer done a great job and Depay looks a far better player than what was seen at Man Utd - also great see Gini doing so well

Do you think Klopp has played him to deep over the years .?
Or is his finishing just better in a orange shirt.
He looks so much better further forward.

 

[pokerjoke]

Great goal very well taken.
VAR now taking over after being silent for so long.

Going to a big club next season has given him a boost

Klopp plays him in a different role , uses his legs , his engine , his ball retention - Klopp described him as the heartbeat of the team and easy to see why - against Barcelona he played in that forward role a bit more and got his rewards and when he went forward he was dangerous, hugely underrated for us - just a shame he was moving into his 30’s and wouldn’t sign the new contract but there was no way we could match tbe £300k PSG are paying him

Yes but just wondering when Firmino was out why he didn’t push him up.
Acedemic now hope he does well at PSG.
