Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

TBF I thought Ronaldo felt an arm on his shoulder and then just threw himself

Probably the most clear penalty of the weekend though

Greenwood is better than Sancho also

He was no worse than any of Man U's attacking players yesterday. Rashford was the worst, and Ronaldo was saved by that ridiculous penalty. Sancho is having some fitness issues as well as getting used to a new team and league. He'll be fine. Already shown signs of improvement. People just see him being subbed as a reason to launch into him straight away without thinking objectively.

Both Greenwood and Sancho are ballers. If one is better that is not much of a stick to beat the other with.

Greenwood and Sancho are going to be close to the world class / best in premier league bracket during their careers.

Rashford seems like an utter myth quality wise in comparison. If he wasnt local i think they would sell him.

Lascelles was mentioned once as a future England defender. Not certain for which sport, absolute carthorse.

Once Benitez has touched you etc etc.

West Ham have their midfield and attack options fit week in week out

Antonio
Bowen
Behrama
Fornals/Lanzini
Soucek
Rice

Imagine if we could keep DCL/Richarlison/Doucoure/Allan/Gray/Townie on the pitch together for once

@Saint Domingo

Only Rice and possibly Bowen gets in our team.

The difference is the tactics, manager and time together under the manager.

What’s the latest general feeling on Saint-Maximin? He always looks a massive handful whenever I see him play.

Dreadful clown of a player.

Can't believe we got a penalty for that to be honest. Not a fan of that from Maddison. But at the moment I'll take anything I can add if it contributes to Newcastle going down then all the better

 

[Zatara]

Leicester are our competition but i hope Newcastle keep losing.

This weekend has been a joke with the amount of pens.

Well I know that much is guff.

This weekend has been a joke with the amount of pens.

Especially when you factor in that the foul on Dawson wasn't given. It's not the most clear cut one, but it's certainly got a stronger case than at least half given this weekend.

 

[tsubaki]

Refs are supposed to take into consideration the motive of the attacking player when deciding i.e. if he is already going down before he is touched it shouldn't be given. Seems to have gone out the window that directive.

Apparently uefa are looking at AI tech for offside decisions, leave it all up to the machines I say.

If we had that then fine, but what about (as Wilson did with Gomes last year) an attacker deliberately runs into a defender in order to get kicked as they clear a ball? That shouldn't be a penalty but it is given as one all the time?

 

[ChesterBlue]

C'mon the boys.

Adeyemi who plays for them is an absolute joke on footy manager this year.

 

[chrissyjack]

You know Richy will be assaulted in the box , and we won’t get a pen

Standard of refereeing couldn't be worse

Standard of refereeing couldn't be worse

Remember when we were told VAR would remove the human error, take away the contentious decisions.

I don't know one fan who is happy with it.

 

[Zatara]

Well I know that much is guff.

Not a team player
No positional sense
Cant defend and has no tactical brain
Charges around like a headless chicken
Ball hog

Im pretty sure you could put Gray in that team and tell him to play for himself and he'd look more dangerous.

Saint-Maximin is a maverick...theres plenty around who stand out at clubs. No way he would or should get in a top side

 

[tsubaki]

how has Willock not been booked there?

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Lovely from Maddison, that
