Perhaps that's some kind of sub-conscious Arteta connection, but where I used to hate how uncompetitive some of their games could be, now I'm just enjoying how brilliant the football is. But PSG are a dreadful watch. The histrionics and cynicism are something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 City took control in the 2nd half but their two goals were rather lucky. PSG were looking comfortable until De Bruyne's fluke goal. Mbappe had a poor game and I'm also not sure what the fuck Poch was thinking by playing Verratti on the left wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahrez getting the ball through that wall is unbelievable. Should never have found a way through there. Navas really messed up that first goal too. Also, I actually like all the city players, and I do like Pep. Sure there is a level of tactical fouling that leaves a bad taste but they do push the limit of what a top side should be able to do. But the owners and whole financial model of both clubs is disgusting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSG were not looking comfortable at all as soon as the 2nd half began. I do agree with the Poch fucking up part though, especially considering he didn't make subs until the 75' !

A Horse Named Stranger Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 So Roma with three injuries int he first half (including their goalkeeper). That means half time is their last chance to bring on another fresh player. If another players picks up an injury in the second half, they have to finish the game with 10 players.

Someone needs to tell the rules to their coach, he made 6 subs in a cup game. Lost 0-3 by forfeit but also lost 2-4 on the pitch so no big deal there.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Personally, I think it would'Ve been smarter to Spinazzola on the side lines and hang on until half time with 10 men, and make the sub then. That would've kept the option of making another sub (or two) alive for later in the game. A bit of a gamble, but I'd rather would have kept that option to make a change in the 60th or 70th minute instead of worrying about another injury early into the second half.

BigFatCoward Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I just saw an interview where Steve Bruce was interviewed about the racial abuse to players on social media platforms. I wasn't paying full attention but I think he said social media is OK because it helped him trace his lost dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Not that it was okay, but that it wasn't all bad. The interview also made it sound like he'd taken his dog to a fireworks display, so who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 The title race in La Liga is really hotting up now after Granada pulled off an unlikely win against Barca last night. 3 points separate the top 4.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 That has pretty much put an end to the relegation battle in the EPL this year. Brighton are with their victory over Leeds pretty much safe. And the 9 point cushion for Newcastle and Burnley is also too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 And the German Cup final will feature Leipzig (they managed to beat Bremen in extra time yesterday, somewhat luckily I might add) and Dortmund, who are pretty much on course against the Bayern slayers from Kiel. 30 mins in 3-0 (Reyna, Reyna, Reus). Haaland is absent due to muscular problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
