Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

[Forza Lecce]

...what does everyone think about this Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang fellow? Is he destined for greatness, or will he prove to be a flop for the likes of Arsenal or Liverpool? Ignore the shiite song:

 

[Capitol]

wow, Two own goals in one match

 

[Capitol]

So much fukkery. Never saw a player throw the ball at the ref like that

 

[Yayo Toure]

Mancini......

 

[Yayo Toure]

He had a million chances and didn't capitalize on a single one of them. Of course you can't convert every chance you get, but after awhile it's time to give someone else a chance right? Seems like this game was an experiment with the line up and he didn't like the results

Really it has been the whole team. They could have had 5 goals this game

at least Balo was getting chances, Dzeko was playing himself out of the game. Mancini waits too long to make his subs, and then makes the wrong sub.

At least we kept a clean sheet

I agree with ya. I kept hearing people say that Dzeko should start and how he is so much better than Balo for weeks and when I finally get a chance to see him he was ruining every opportunity he had. Off the top of my head I can't remember a single thing he did right. He was just so clumsy today that nearly ever touch he had at a vital moment would slip away or he would do a bad pass. He didn't help his situation at all with this game and now Mancini can say he gave him a chance and continue to use him as a sub in the 88th minute or something

he's great, been tracking him at st. etienne since last year and i just hope he doesnt go to arsenal

he played well at the ACN and i just remember being seeing him so incredibly devastated at the end

was looking over old pictures days ago, i apparently had a poster of eric wynalda on my wall growing up, i didnt even remember. and pictures with eddie pope, cobi, valderrama, many METRO players. that is some og shyt.

both, imo. Mancini's a clown but they have a lot of clowns and mercs.


I still expect them to win the league because they have the most talented and experienced squad.

City ain't winning shyt this year pal.

Dont have the consistency to beat a more talented Chelsea or consistent Utd.

aye @yoyoyo1

Do you think not having away game goals count for more is better for the playoffs?

definitely more excitement, no one just bunkers and hopes to get the lucky goal

come to think of it, mls playoff games have usually been really good, maybe this is why. you dont have to be so cautious trying to 'keep a clean sheet at home' like so many european playoffs have died in the 1st leg due to lack of goals

Granted, I haven't been watching it for that long, and I've yet to see any of the European playoffs, the idea, and the pay off makes much more sense to me. In every sport it is always difficult to play on the road, but I just don't like the idea of a goal being worth more. Imagine if the away goals counted for more, giving NY the advantage on that ridiculous own goal when the match was virtually even.

 

[frush11]

Worst start since 94/95. No width, no pace, since gibbs been out. New back up left back, new left winger and we'll get 4th.

Not new back up left back, new starting left back.

I rather them lose 8-2, than this, it was pathetic and just embarrassing. Imagine if United were actually on their game.

Not gonna say anything anymore, i've said enough these past 3 years.

 

[stepbackj34spud]

how does Mancini want these players to be consistent if there are no clear cut 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice strikers?? he gives a player 60 mns, if they make 1 mistake, he leaves them out for the next 2-3 games...And try the 60mns bullsht again.

why doe he need 4 very good strikers anyways??
