Lopetegui looks like someone out of a US sitcom but can't quite place who it is

 

 

Mr Drummond or the dad from Alf

Disagree on this. Of course it matters how the goals are scored, if someone scores 30 1 yard tap ins and one season, it doesn't mean they're a top quality striker. Context is surely very important when judging a players talent and what they can consistently offer in the future.

 

I just can't get my head around the black and white thinking in football. It just leads to the ridiculously fickle opinions you see week in week out.

 

The one that annoyed me the most was the people that ironically said "All yakubu does is score goals" haha. Aye, what really helps a teams all round game is some lazy lump that makes it feel like you're playing the game with 10 men 99% of the time he's on the pitch.

 

All of what I said has nothing to with Daka as I've already seen Daka score plenty of different goals and have every confidence he's a player that can go on to have a very decent career in the top european leagues. 

 

I just had to get that off my chest as I see people spouting stuff like this all the time, like it's some genius piece of thinking and the people that like applying context are the idiots. Not really aimed at you either as I'm pretty sure you just love playing devils advocate and offering the contrary opinion on any matter  haha

 

 

edit No idea how this ended up in this thread, but whatever….
 

It’s a “devil’s advocate off”….and it’s live!!

 

Seriously, I think we may be talking at cross purposes, yes it matters but not critically to results, more aesthetically and I am not sure about the bit in bold, that makes them a great striker surely? Their movement, positioning, anticipation must be top class.

Lopetegui sounds exactly like Pochetinno

[fuchsntf]

Refs are trying to be too clever,and don't referee the game as it is...

Biggest example is every corner kick.

Refs should give 5-7 penalties...

But rugby tackles ( holding not allowed in any European team sport) seems the modern way, plus pundits,commentators,managers (some fans) think, "well part of the game".

IT AINT..!!  Basta

Probably because they would be accused of ruining the game by giving so many penalties.

Rashford...IMO

Next to Kane ,the best English forward,

The two both,do stand high in Europe ratings, but it seems Manutd want to play silly buggars,on whether he Rashford should play or not...Crazy,crazy !!

Adama Traore is really good, making runs getting past players and crossing.

Can't understand why the previous manager didn't fancy playing him....the guys a beast!

Adama Traore is football’s version of LeBron James…if LeBron couldn’t even make a layup, that is.

God I miss Riyad.

 

Decent day of results for us so far.

[LFox99]

That assist by Mahrez for their first goal...

must be nice having a creative RW

[Jattdogg]

Oh look who scored again,  what a surprise

 

Haland is a beast.

That Mahrez fellow looks useful. What a player he is.

Rashford might be starting to fulfil some of that potential 

[TJQuik]

As foul as it is to say, we need Man City, United and Newcastle to win today.

Bournemouth are so shit

Yet they beat us.

[StanSP]

Good scorelines for us so far, as expected. Need Newcastle to score. 

[cruzFOX]

Leeds hanging in there. They could grind out a point here against Newcastle 

[cruzFOX]

Christ we really should not be languishing where we are in the table. Should be mid table at the very least. What a coq up

of a Season it has been. 
hope we get some good players Im

soon who fit right in and get the team moving up the table.

Bournemouth fans turning on O’Neil already ?

[Leicester_Loyal]

We need a win in the next 3 games because we've got a bloody tough February coming up. 5 or 6 points from January would be excellent.

[Lambert09]

whenever i feel bad about our line ups i like to remember we aren’t everton. That 11 is utterly disgusting 

[taupe]

I have to admit, I can enjoy watching Man City; the skills, movement and passing are pretty darned impressive. Haaland will get a truck load this season on the back of it.

Bold statement that. 

[Guest Manini]

Nick Pope is a brilliant goal keeper 

[StanSP]

FFS Man City. Just smash Everton. What you playing at...
