Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

[Bboystyle]

Bayern lost.

And PSG

 

[Ukbrotha]

Either Sterling has lost his pace or Matip is quicker than I thought. He was clean through and slowed play down.

He wasn't in control of the ball so he slowed down. Looked like a lack of confidence.

 

[SCORCH]

Chelsea leading the league eh.

Next 4 games: Brentford, Norwich, Newcastle & Burnley.

Should get minimum 10pts from those games.

 

[Ukbrotha]

Bayern, PSG and Real Madrid all lost today.

 

[Yayo Toure]

He wasn't in control of the ball so he slowed down. Looked like a lack of confidence.

He doesn't like to strike it first time from that side, plus Matip was close. He did well to hold the ball and pick the right pass.

Overall Sterling looked good in his cameo but he's been off for City all year. He needs a striker to play off of, the regression of Sterling coincided with the decline/injury/departure of Aguero.

This is all on Fabinho and Matip.

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

cant argue am here thinking who but no names...had mane not falling off he might take over barnes...still time though

No just no. Barnes creative from LM/LW was so good that once he lost speed because of the Achilles injury at 29. He was able to move into CM and be the main playmaker control the tempo and never lose the ball. Mane loses his pace and he isn't the same player nor do I think he could adapt his game either.

This is all on Fabinho and Matip.

Huh? Matip best defender today, deflections happen everyday b......and fab could have scored but whatever

 

[nyknick]

Smalling just pulled up with an injury again

Easily the match of the season so far....players going at it till the final whistle

I'm convinced that a team like Sevilla or Real Sociedad is gonna win La Liga this year.

If I'm the likes of Sevilla, Atheli, La Real, Bilbao, Valencia, Villareal then I have to think these next 2-3 years are my best chances to win serious silverware / European football.

IMO....Atlethi and Sevilla should be challenging for the league

La Real for UCL ball..Bilbao, VCF and Villareal for UCL/UEL. The rest can all fancy their chances in the CDR as well

Think that united can compete with these two teams

This October - November stretch is the litmus test for Ole

Leicester - a
Atalanta - h
Liverpool - h
Spurs - a
Atalanta - a
City - h
Watford - a
Villarreal - a
Chelsea - a
Arsenal - h

That's a tough run

Bayern, PSG and Real Madrid all lost today.

Smaller clubs came to play ball today

 

[The ADD]

Big Boy Match

 

[Roberto Firmino]

We could have easily been out of it at ht so I’ll take the draw but again that’s another 2 trash goals to concede along with the shambles at Brentford, need to sort it ASAP


And starting Milner was just criminal, I guess the thinking is he has better delivery than Joe but never should have happened.

 

[African_brehda]

BIG TEAM BALL. A cut above everyone else in that league.
Running it back like Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker every damn time

I'd say all the way back to late 2019 early 2020 tbh. Hasn't looked the same since. Also he's become more selfish at times and tries to do too much as well. I understand why because his numbers say he deserves to be selfish at times but it's the decision making is annoying much like Sir Marcus. Also his lack of control of his tekkers at times exposes his limitations. Fine when he's scoring and able to run into space but final pass the touch the strength on the ball lacks.
