Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [26th - 29th November 2021]

And this is why it should be changed back. Was it worse that an onside attack be stopped incorrectly or that an offside attack is allowed to continue? I know what I think.

That's another argument but it didn't apply to that decision. The lino simply made a poor call.

They won't change the rule though but thankfully it's not going to be around for much longer anyway. A new automated offside system is being tested and should be ready for the WC in 12 months and hopefully the PL will take it on for the 23/24 season. Lino's will soon be automatically alerted if a player is in an offside position and all they have to do is flag if they're considered to be active.

Michael Carrick thinks United have been good at pressing the last few years... laughable.

Keane's spot on here... calling out the jobs for the boys as well

Given we have an inexperienced caretaker manager, and the players confidence is on the floor, I don't think it's embarrassing. The Liverpool/City games were embarrassing.

I will take a point thought we was getting battered today.

See what old Rangnick musters up next its good all the games next are on Prime.

Personally I think Chelsea were lucky to get a point. Yeah they had a load of possession and shots but not many of them were particularly good chances.

Are you sure about that? I was driving so didn't watch the match and had to rely on highlights but looks like Chelsea had at least three clear cut chances? The one where AWB blocked Werner's shot, when Hudson-Odoi went for goal rather than squaring it to Werner and Rudiger's chance at the end.

Happy with a point against an in form Chelsea team, stops the rot hopefully and we can build from here. Although the highlights didn't leave much to be desired with our goal coming from a mistake.

From Rome?

Yeah a couple of decent chances at most.

Hahaha, that's terrible on my part. Must have been Hudson-Odoi in that case!

Look at the stats if Chelsea vs Leicester last week.

That finished 0-3 to Chelsea, this game could easily have been as bad if not worse. They had 24 shots to our 3.

That's humiliating. Saved by the bar, by the keeper and by some bad finishing.

Chelsea fully deserved to win that match, by far the better team. Utd just parked the bus and required a massive mistake to get their only chance.

Anyway, back to the old xG chat.

Have it as .5 for the Sancho goal. I refuse to believe that, that chance only gets scored ½ the time.

 

[Shamikebab]

Both goals were defensive mistakes though.

 

[fez]

Yeah, that xG is complete BS. It was a 2:1 with just the keeper. I would bet on the players 9/10 there. Not 5/10.

 

[adam cool dude]

Hahaha, that's terrible on my part. Must have been Hudson-Odoi in that case!

Was this you too?

Roy Keane talking a load of rubbish. Maybe why he made a **** manager. Klopp wouldn't take Ronaldo. I doubt Tuchel or Guardiola would have wanted him either. In any team that relies on high effort levels and the unit above the individual he simply doesn't cut it any more.
