Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [24th - 28th October 2014]

[elmuzzy66.]

Well that was meh.

 

[Loki]

Good half of football from us. I think we just about edged it but Chelsea can step it up a gear

 

[manic111]

GNev - "That's not what the players used to call him!"

 

[Robbo]

Happy with that first half, we've matched them for the most part, and looked a bit more threatening going forward. Gave away too many corners though. A few dodgy moments but that's to be expected.

Long way to go yet...

 

[MacMiniBoy]

Did the presenter just say 2 Heavy weights lol

 

[Dimi]

Fabregas has been disappointing thus far.

It's been a pretty average game, hoping for some action in the 2nd half.

Totally agree (apart from the fact Chelsea probably have another two gears at least )

edit - the annoying thing so far from Utd's point of view is the terrible decision making / wasting the free kicks so badly

 

[McBain]

Incredible that Dowd doesn't give a penalty against Smalling. Such a bad ref.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

How overweight is the ref

He's LOST weight

 

[BaZ87]

Chelsea need to bring on someone to make runs and create space for the likes of Oscar and Hazard to run in to. Drogba doesn't really move much.

The only thing he's done is break down every decent chance Chelsea have had to counter.

Both sides are leaving a lot of space in the middle of the pitch for the opposition to attack but expectedly, Utd look a lot more fragile at the back. Had Costa been fit you could see Chelsea picking Utd off at will.

 

[Craterloads]

Need to get di Maria more involved on right, seem to be going down left most of the time.

 

[omnomnom]

Smelling has his arm around his neck. It's a penalty and a red card all day long. Absolute stinker.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

They are all bad refs, i dont know why they are afraid to give penalties and red cards etc they just bottle far too many decisions and the EPL doesn't really look like it's doing anything to fix it.

 

[Andybtsn]

Pretty sure we will see Schurlle for Drogba soon unless Jose happy with a point.

 

[LOAM]

He's LOST weight

Well credit to him for that but still, premier league refs should be as fit as butchers dogs.

 

[McBain]

Can't say I disagree.

 

[Wayn0r]

Can't say I disagree.

To be fair, if they gave the 'correct' decision every game we'd see cricket scores half the time. Too many 'calculated' fouls and diving.

Its nowhere near as bad as it used to be at Old Trafford when seralex was in the dugout, they were terrified of him. I imagine the premier league refs breathed a collective sigh of relief when he retired.

 

[RoboCod]

More like he finds himself having to come back too often to cover the shoddy defence.

Not really, the players would just stop doing it.
