The Footie Thread

[GreiginFife]

After all the good play and chances they’ve created trust it to be a corner they score from

And a scrappy OG at that

 

[Lucifer MorningStar]

How have they not won this game all those chances and you have to fancy Palace keeper in Penalties he’s been immense today.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

This is an impressive bunch of pens

 

[Don Barzini]

Thought it was gonna go on all night!

 

[Lucifer MorningStar]

Superb shootout and the right winner in the grand scheme of efforts on goal all night but great ending to a game.

 

[Swango1980]

Palace GK being a brick wall at the moment , no idea how Arsenal haven’t scored yet

Lacroix looks a very good player

That aged well

The commentator mentioned that Palace had already won two shoot outs to get that far. Somehow it doesn't seem right to get to a final / semi final by penalty shoot outs alone. They didn't do enough on the night to justify a win.

I thought they looked poor last night. Whether it was Arsenal suppressing them, Palace not playing well or a combination of both I was really disappointed. Palace usually put up a far better performance.

It may be sheer weight of fixtures is catching up with their squad size .

Think that’s exactly it and was something they talked about last night

Believe it was 3 games in 5 days and they just looked way off it first half

Looks like Semenyo prefers a move to Man City rather than Man Utd or Liverpool.

Could be our bench is comfier.

He should look at Grealish.
Doing well again after getting off the bench to move to Everton.

Or look at Fodens medals

Yes look ! most of them he spent more time on the bench but got one anyway.

That will give them 5 wide players

Doku
Marmoush
Bobb
Savinho

And Semenyo


In fairness to him he had 2 choices


Spurs and Chelsea didn’t want to give him the wages he is asking for

We apparently told him in November that we wouldn’t be pursuing him in Jan


So he is left with Man Utd or Man City - United apparently going to use him as a wing back so his choice was simple at the end of the day - stay at Bournemouth or go to City

Maybe he looked at Wirz,Kerkez,Isak,Frimpong…..
And thought nah

a few weeks back he was going to be Salah’s replacement.
All of a sudden Liverpool weren’t interested

City will do for Semenyo what they did for Kalvin Phillips.
They’ll buy him just to stop other clubs from having him.

What’s happening with the 115 charges?

Foden has been very much a part of city's team in recent years. He may have been on the bench in his early time but he has earned his medals. Definitely not a squad player, he's front and centre.
