Going back to the Diaz thing, I think he thought Nunez was offsides. The far defender was playing him on but Diaz just expected Nunez to be offside because, you know, history.
The perfect encapsulation. That was a perfect first touch and a shot straight at the keeper. LOL
Two 19 year olds coming on. Goddamn, I'm old.
I’m not sure about this. He gaffed twice early in the second half and nearly gifted a pair of not for awful finishing coupled with a Kelleher stop.
Thanks for this. I do recall hearing about the private equity investment and the it was unpopular. I didn’t connect the dots with the tennis ball protests.
He gave up that one obvious chance but also won the most duels and nearly scored while shifting to a makeshift back 3. For a 21 year old guy no one even expected to give senior minutes this year, it’s pretty impressive. It’s so much better than Nat Phillips being back there.
And a lovely response from Forrest as Elanga splits the defense and scores through the legs of Dubravka
I think it kinda started with whatever was available to throw, and then gradually tennis balls became the projectile of choice.
Big deflection on that - still, Howe’s Newcastle channeling the ghosts of Kevin Keegan’s sides.
Yeah--this is his role now--come on late and just run. He doesn't have time to grow into the game when you're an impact sub, but he did just enough today.
Also, annoucers when Brighton plays out from the back: "Just daring football, passing it around. One twos everywhere."
Same guy when Spurs do it: "Spurs living so dangerously here, kicking it around."
Rumour has it LFC will hold Klopp to his promise to take the year off. He’s still under contract for another year. I’m sure something could be worked out if he really wanted to go (I don’t think he has any interest in Bayern) - Leroy Sane ?
Did you watch the Sporting-Oviedo match? It was not in ESPN+, so I didn’t see it. The final score and stats suggest it was a tight match. Did Oviedo come close to scoring at all?
No I’m pretty limited to ESPN+. The La Liga weekday show on ESPN+ usually has most of the La Liga Hypermotion highlights on their Tuesday (???) show. Otherwise the Spanish Football Podcast will often have a quick update as one of the main contributors is a huge Real Oviedo fan. Monday pods are free if you can find it.
Kane going to Bayern to win trophies followed by Bayern having their first trophy-less season in ages would be incredibly hilarious.
So, in today's Premiere League a player can run a deliberate pick on the keeper? The arsenal player never looked at the ball, he just threw a shoulder into the keeper when he tried to come out and play the ball.
