Corky Posted 21 September 2020 Share Posted 21 September 2020 The noise around Thiago yesterday was deafening. MOST COMPLETED PASSES IN A HALF OF FOOTBALL- against ten men who were mostly pinned in their own area. He also gave away a penalty. Mane must be so pissed off, he scored a great header and made the second through his own hard work only to find the new guy get all the headlines for turning up.

Stinkenzo Posted 21 September 2020 Share Posted 21 September 2020 Turned on Sky Sports earlier by accident tonight and sitting through this analysis.... does anybody actually enjoy watching what they talk about? I cant help but just roll my eyes constantly, it's all just way too over the top and knit picky. "So and so had 6.45 successful dribbles at home in the oppositions half on average compared to 7.82 the season before" Honestly who cares? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It saves them from have to do proper analysis of tactics, player form and influence in real terms. They just pick out some obscure stats to fill in the air time to make it look like they know hat they're talking about for when they're not talking about or showing a 'big six' game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 3/4 years stats have been more important than performance I hate to think that the new generation of players will be afraid to try a cutting through ball as they don’t want a negative pass stat. Or a young striker will be brought up not shooting from outside the box for fear of a shot off target. The trend has moved to every club focusing on the players stats to find hidden gems. But I have a feeling the real finds are going to be managers that can spot the stat adverse players. A player that is really beneficial to the team but is brave in how they play so racks up bad numbers Edited 21 September 2020 by Lambert09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OntarioFox Posted 21 September 2020 Share Posted 21 September 2020 (edited) Bloody hell, that's a bit of a 50/50 call on the red card! Seemed like they were both at each other. Hard to deny Watkins gets to that ball 1-on-1 with the keeper without the arms though. ...right call? *hides* Edited 21 September 2020 by OntarioFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 21 September 2020 Share Posted 21 September 2020 That's exactly why red cards were introduced all them years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 21 September 2020 Share Posted 21 September 2020 Poor defending and It’s a foul. Not sure if it’s a red, mind. However, I’m pleased to see them punish players that are holding opponents now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they’ll follow other clubs to come up and have a good first season then go down. Squad looks so poor and limited attacking threat.

They did look very poor in the first game, and were a bit off the pace post-lockdown too. We beat them comfortably even during our own collapse, which says a lot. Second season syndrome could bite. Time will tell. Edited 21 September 2020 by OntarioFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 21 September 2020 Share Posted 21 September 2020 Wish they'd bring in a rule where anybody who goes down like they've been snipered and stays down for more than a few seconds must leave the pitch for 5mins (and be replaced in the meantime, sin bin-esque) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 21 September 2020 Share Posted 21 September 2020 Again I'm a bit surprised there's much controversy about that red. Pretty much the same as the Christensen one yesterday except the forward didn't fall over. Last man foul + no attempt to play the ball = red card 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
