Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

I understand, but 1 on 1 with the keeper, you dont want the final play to be in the refereees subjective hands

No argument. Ref a still a c*nt. I bet that will get called if Bayern do the same in Germany.

Saka to Neuer

 

[OneManGang]

Having said that I think it should’ve been given. Certain teams get that call. Arsenal definitely would be penalized

 

[Ukbrotha]

Gerrard?

Gazza maybe ... Hoddle .. Lurch ... Keegan ... Rush ... Waddle ..

edit:

Rooney is better than all those guys.

 

[dappadonna]

No De Bruyne No Haaland ... He's alright but he's not real

 

[Ukbrotha]

2 fantastic ties tonight. Peak CL night.

Time to clean things up against Villa

We gotta get Partey more game time, cause we know after injury, he takes 3 or so games before he's up to speed. Trossard though, my guy coming up clutch over and over. Someone on reddit said he looks like an accountant...Well in the US, its almot the end of tax season

That is a fair point I do think that gets called in their stadium with their crowd onto the ref.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Not the worst result but could’ve been better. We gave Bayern too much respect. We have to really be ruthless in the return leg.

Good thing we’ve got Aston Villa at home on Saturday. It’ll be tough but if we can wrap it up early, we’ll have enough going into Munich.

Saka should of nutmegged neuer

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

Saka could have gone five hole and its a goal.

Bellingham had one of the most pathetic performance I've ever seen from a Madrid star/key player in a big game at Bernabeu. Dude kept pouting, complaining and walking while his teammates were busting their ass to keep City at bay. He also made horrible decisions every time he had the ball in attacking positions

He better realize where he's playing when it's Champions League time. If he doesn't have a good game in Etihad, City is winning easily.

 

[Winston]

Saka exaggerated too much which gave the ref an option. Neuer would have clipped him anyway.

Still should have been a pen.

 

[ciubaca]

thats why the superleague is a stupid ideea.
Teams like this shouldnt play eachother 10 times a year
These matches will lose their allure

 

[Jmare007]

Saka could have went five hole and scored the goal.

Yeah, in this stage it's almost impossible to give a penalty when the player's leg is going straight into the opponent. They'll always assume he's trying to force contact.
