OT: Association Football Thread III (All Soccer Talk Here!)

[I Eat Crow]

Kinda felt like a Rangers game for me yesterday. Was watching my Hammers dominate MU leading 1-0 at half and it should have been more. I got called away, only to return at 83' and it's 3-1 MU!

United got lucky that Pogba scored a worldie for his first goal in two years and that Ole had the sense to sub Fernandes in. The game changed as soon as Rashford and Bruno were subbed in. They're United's two best players.

Martial needs to be sold in the summer. He was pouting the whole game until he got injured yesterday. I got killed for saying United need an out and out striker more than a right winger. Both are needs, but Martial is bringing the whole team down. The outcome of the PSG game would have been different if he put away even one of the many chances he had. Some of those chances were so obscene that it has me considering for a moment he's a PSG double agent. I won't miss him.

I’ve been a Spurs supporter for a little more than a decade. I can’t complain about these results, but I feel like I am rooting for the Jacques Lemaire Devils. It feels dirty.

Spurs at least have better personnel for the "huff it" philosophy Mourinho employs. The guy gets results, but he'll do it by shithousing to a CL finish this year, but the act will wear thin with the players within two years. He's not unlike the John Tortorella of the European soccer universe.

McKennie sick goal vs Barcelona. Americans taking over !!!

I think we're in for a fight with Mourinho's Tottenham.

Both teams threw down the gauntlet Sunday with Spurs winning the derby and Liverpool bodying a top 10 side.

They meet at Anfield in 8 days!

So frustrating. At least we have Reyna tearing shit up.

Man I hope some of these young stars can change the culture and make an impact for the national team.

Everyone sucks

Everyone except Fulham.

 

[Machinehead]

Everyone except Fulham.

They drew a game they absolutely dominated and fell into the relegation zone as a result.

They actually did the most sucking besides Arsenal but that's every week.

Idk about Leicester. Any time they come up against one of the big boys, we see that they're pretenders.

Southampton is...certainly a football team.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Wow Chelsea just got caught in a counter in stoppage time.

There's no chance Southampton and Leicester are that high come April and early May. Both Manchester teams are going to take their place.

[Synergy27]

Spurs getting smoked all over the pitch but somehow at 1-1 with their insane counter. Not clear to me that Liverpool is so much better and deserving of all of this respect. Hoping for something a bit more positive out of Tottenham in the second half.

That game was f***in heat

Meh. Spurs missing on those point blank chances was brutal. You can’t have enjoyed that game too much as an analytics guy.

No, I get mad at the Rangers because they get outshot 3:2. This was not that.

We lost the expected goals but had massive advantages in possession, pass accuracy, and shots on target.

Both teams had things they'll like about that game.
