4/22-4/23 Weekend Game Thread: FA Cup matches that are actually interesting
- Thread starter coremiller
- Start date
It's killing me how many teams - with top caliber coaches - are deploying 3 at the back as one-off game plans. So few teams have the personnel for it (e.g., Son at wing back???) and even fewer are praticed enough to pull it off effectively. I get that this might be where tactics are evolving, but hopping on the fad randomly is a bad look...like right rolled jeans or 2ft high teased bangs bad.
I probably have. I'm beyond fed up with this season. Even on Arsenals 2nd Pawson blows for a foul on Yaya when Xhaka blocks his run then a super soft call for Welbeck. Those kinds of calls happen all the time, it's part of game but I'll be damned if I haven't spent 40 weeks waiting for them to even out
Edit: end of the day Arsenal have 3 shots and 2 goals. This has happened every week. The refs have mystified me all season but theres no excuse for the shots to goals ratio
Not sure what broadcast you had but I was watching BTSport and the color commentator might as well have doing the poznan.
Fs1. Tyler was pretty openly rooting for and making excuses for Le Arse. I think they just really like Wenger
Agreed, that's a foolish challenge from a young player.
Much credit to Palace today. They have been organized, disciplined, and composed from the jump.
Can't believe I'm hanging my hopes on Moreno.
Pretty darn good Classico so far. Casemiro scored off a rebound from a corner, then Messi, playing with a bandage in his mouth after Marcelo elbowed him in the teeth, scored a fantastic equalizer from a great flowing move.
Messi rolled around less after losing three teeth than Ronaldo did after getting his ankle tapped.
This match is great. Neither midfield is bothering to put up any resistance. It's end to end stuff.
If you were on the end of these decisions your manager would be in a straight jacket by now
Wow, that was special from Rakitic. This game has been bonkers.
Why do I feel like a Sergio Ramos injury time header is on the cards?

That was the best match I've watched in a long time. Can't believe Zidane kept pressing for a goal after James equalized, but I guess he didn't have the personnel to do anything else after the red card.
That was awesome. That game had 38 shots and 23 shots on target.
Messi is just on another level.

it'll be up at FullMatchesAndShows.com pretty soon I'd think. Wait for the "Extended Highlights" package, those are usually 12-15mins and worth waiting till it gets uploaded.
N'Golo Kante won PFA Player of the Year, which he deserves, but why the hell are they giving that award out when every team has between 4 and 7 games remaining? Chelsea have 6 games left -- that's 16% of their season! Can you imagine if MLB handed out the MVP and Cy Young awards on Sept. 1? It's ridiculous.

I agree, but nobody except TMQ complains. I wonder if anyone complains about the PFA Player of the Year likewise.
