Possibly the worst player on the pitch and he does that. Crazy.

Thats because hes the only player trying to make any passes that cut through the opposition.

Wow, literally a 3 on none and he calls the half.

How is a cross a moment of brilliance? Do other teams not score from crosses?

That wasn't a simple finish. We aren't scoring by stringing together 15 passes and cutting the opposition to pieces. We are chucking balls into the box and hoping. Finishing low percentage chances is the definition of "moments of brilliance". They don't have to be a mazy dribble followed by a 30 yard screamer.
 
People talk about being unable to break down teams. This is the reality of the "best" league in the world. Games like this are just utter boring tripe. Championship is better in some regards as at least both teams have a go most of the time.

The current bottom 7-8 teams offer nothing to the premier League. I am more and more coming over to the idea of a European super League.

So just like McT's goal last match then?

Honestly this 'no tactics, individual brilliance' is the latest dumb thing people say to beat on Ole. Yet weirdly nobody says it when other teams score...

Yeah, it was an unlikely goal. I don't know how anyone can watch us and think that we are scoring through team play in general. Watch any of the top teams in the PL and europe and their movement, one touch passing and positioning is light years ahead of ours. City score plenty of screamers but they all score plenty of goals where they simply cut the other team to ribbons. We don't do that against anyone who isn't defending with a high line.

And a lot of people have been saying this for a long time with Ole. We are not improving apart from when we add quality to the team. Buying a better team is not the mark of a good manager.

That first goal was a foul on Lindelof as well. Elbows him in the head and then grabs his face before he heads the ball in. Considering what passes for foul these days that was stone wall.
 
Every team scores unlikely goals, that is the way football works.

refs have been biased against us since Klopp complained about them. Unfortunately there is no accountability so nothing will ever be done about it.

Hallelujah!

People will sit there, having just watched a goal which clearly came from a tactical set-up where Maguire is stepping up through midfield to give us an attacker who isn't marked - and has been doing so throughout the game - and say there's no tactics.

Klopp doesn't play mind games or like to talk about other teams though.
 
God I want to punch Martial every. single. game. He would pull out of a challenge that was 90% in his favour. He would pull out of a 50/50 with a 10 year old.
 
Wolves got a penalty against Southampton for a very similar incident to when we didnt get ine again them.

The officials this season have been woeful.

He's a hard player to like. At present I'd take Greenwood every time ahead of him.
