Daemon the Leaner Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Good 2nd half from United, despite conceding what should probably have been an allowed goal from Morata. (I know that's debatable, but anyway it was a rough decision to make) Glad for Lukaku, the guy finally has a reference-game against a big opponent in a Utd shirt. Good to see Bailly back, too. Yep, Chelsea is going to have a hard time settling in the big 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 That’s such an Arsenal goal to concede. They’ve been the better side but Mustafi just hands a goal to Agüero on a plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Decent enough 2nd half performance. Happy with the result but previous complaints concerning our system still stands. We still 'wing it' when attacking, off the ball movement remains just as static as it was under LVG and our counter-pressing is nonexistent. So long as this is the case, we will never close the gap on City and we will never be among the CL contenders. All those deficiencies are squarely on the manager and his coaching staff.

Daemon the Leaner Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 And that's three for City in the League Cup final (fuck off Carabao). Arsenal is pants. Guardiola definitely deserves his first trophy of the season. But don't worry, it's okay, Welbeck has been subbed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan La Cabra Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Arsenal have been atrocious at the back. This is like a coaching video of how not to defend. Fair play to Man City, though, they’ve taken full advantage and scored three really good goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Watching Atleti dismantle Sevilla makes me even more pissed off at Mourinho's 'tactics'. You can set up defensively like Simeone has but still actually have a plan to attack instead of being a coward like Mourinho especially since Sevilla are trash defensively. They make Arsenal look like a well drilled defensive unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mme Erzulie Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Does anyone have a good website for following all the major (european) football leagues? I'm primarily interested in the PL, but it would be nice to have somewhere that devotes serious time and column inches to Spain, Italy, Germany (and France, I guess) as well. Goal.com is the only one that seems to get close that I've found, but I'm sure there's something better out there. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mormont Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Scott Brown is the poster boy for players who prefer being a big fish in a small pond at Celtic.

No,they're very admirable traits. Whether they explain Scott Brown's career trajectory is open to question. I think his behaviour and attitude is a classic example of the type of Scottish player who prefers to be the big man in Scotland playing for the Old Firm, rather than being dedicated to making the most of his talent. You might disagree. What's unquestionable is that Brown didn't make the most of his talent, and that's disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd easily hold down a starting place at a mid-level EPL club, but that's probably about it. So with all the medals he's won at Celtic, you could argue that he very much has made the most of his talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown, when young, had enormous potential IMO, possibly more than any Scottish midfielder I've seen at that age. If Andrew Robertson or Charlie Adam were good enough to earn moves to Liverpool, I can see no substantial argument as to why Brown wasn't. But the point is, he never challenged himself to try. He's given every impression that he prefers being the big fish in a small pond and has no ambitions beyond that. Medals are nice, but being the best player you can be is better.

Consigliere Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Winter break for the EPL has been agreed in principle and is expected to come into effect from the 2019/2020 season. All FA Cup 5th round games will be moved to midweek with no replays. The break will be staggered with five league games taking place on one weekend and five on another. This ensures that every premier league side will have at least 13 days between fixtures. The break will be around early February before the resumption of European fixtures.
