Fear Of The Fox

I'll never understand this kind of passes at the back by defenders. Why do they pass to a teammate who can't see who is coming behind him? It happens so many times it's ridiculous. The risk is so high there's no logic behind it. Either the players are stupid or their managers forcing them to play like this are incompetent.

Slot losing to a Dutch team surely must be the final straw. It's very strange he's not sacked yet. There's no way he can improve the dreadful defense/midfield in January and I'm sure even if they give him another half billion he's incapable tactically to do it.

Absolutely. Especially baseball. I'm still watching a lot of football but it's not fun anymore with all the stupid rules and inconsistency. At least for me it has lost its traditional roots and purpose and I can't shake the feeling. Every game has some bizarre officiating and the majority of players are pricks.

You guys need to realise the sport is full of corruption from top to bottom. Even NBA had players, managers etc arrested a few weeks ago. My advice: Just pick another sport to entertain you like baseball or American football where the "turn based" nature of these sports decreases significantly the room for corruption.

The only way to improve somewhat the game. Straight red cards for simulation. In other news Pope has been a total disaster tonight.

There's a huge lack of common sense in the sport. Just show 2 yellow cards.

Indeed. They might be in a relegation battle after the next 3 games.

They're not going to build a decent team without getting rid of players like Ratatouille and Casemiro.

Man Utd on their way back where they actually belong. 14th place.

Carlos Alcaraz subbed in. Game, set and match.

KDH, Barnes, Tielemans etc are just little examples of incompetence and lack of ambition by the board. The team had most of the ingredients to be a powerhouse (apart from the location tbh) and failed big time.

Teammates are part of a "family", it's up to their manager to take discipline action and not the ref in such arguments. It wasn't even a huge brawl between them. I've seen it happening in all other team sports and there's only one incident in European basketball where a player was injected but the incident was more serious. I won't even go to American sports where such things happen all the time and the manager only takes immediate action. I understand the players should be well behaved but it's too harsh when teammates are involved. These ones are many hours everyday together.

Anyone claiming this was a red card, enjoy the mess this sport has become. There's no other sport in the planet, galaxy, universe where such soft incident between teammates results in a sent off.

So you can't have an argument with a teammate in football. It's a straight red card. Is this for real?

The league is extremely poor in quality and one of the worst in the continent. Right now even leagues like the Cypriot one are considered more competitive in Europe. The anomaly of the national team qualifying for the World Cup doesn't change the above facts.

What half time talk? Richarlison kicked a bottle in the dressing room and fell over. They spent 15 minutes treating him.

Imo Spurs are overachieving for years now. Especially this season this squad is a bottom table one and possibly a relegation battle candidate.

So you don't like corners inside the box also, only short ones? Modern football defenders are thick with low IQ and positional awareness, they're in panic mode everytime. Bringing the ball into the box in every opportunity is a good tactic.

Doesn't help that Frank set them up like a National South League team.

Thank God NFL Redzone is starting in one hour. This Arsenal vs Spurs game Is shockingly bad.

Makes a big difference having a knowledgeable football coach who will always employ tactical changes. Emery isn't only a very likeable person but he knows his stuff.

Kamara and Rogers are good also but if you go back and check the build up to the free kick you'll see Tielemans setting up everything starting from just outside their box.

James was offside by around 2 miles and then it's a handball.. Bye bye Farke! BR is knocking on the door.

Tielemans is just class. Best player by a mile in the pitch.

He's sacked. Announcement Monday morning the latest.
