Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [29th - 31st Jan 2021]

We've had the handball and offside rules tweaked during this season, it's about time something was done about the Harry Kane nudge before somebody ends up with a broken neck.
 
Yes - intensity completely missing which is a common thread for United. 3rd gear at best. However I will say that Lacazette has put a shift in tonight and battled. A contrast to what we saw from Martial or Rashford who seem to want life to be easy. Disappointing

Yeah. There are very very few top strikers who are lazy. There are the occasional one that are pure tap in merchants but they still work their socks off to get in the right places. Compare those two to Mane and their workrate is probably half his. I think there was a statistic for tackles made by strikers and ours were utterly awful compared to any of the teams around us. Like 1 vs 13 for Martial vs the best.
 
Agree, Kane never gets much criticism for it though!
He'll never get criticised by the likes of Shearer for doing it, just like he and Vardy are immune for criticism for diving because they're too concerned with being pally with them. Supporters and the wider press are calling him out for it though, it's known as doing a Kane now.

Something needs doing though. There seems to be more and more incidents of this in the last few months and it really is only a matter of time before somebody gets badly injured.
 
Bar Laca hitting the bar United had the better chances to score, so I’ll take the clean sheet and be happy with a point given the 3 from the OT game. Hopefully Saka will be ready for the next match as losing the effect your best player has on the game was obvious tonight once it came to creating chances or putting a final ball through.
 
Keane is bang on with his assessment.

Ole thinking it was a good performance. ‘Pleased for the boys.’ What planet is he on. I hope he rips them a new one in private.
 
Definitely chances for either team to have won

Too many games to go still but title slipping away

Realistically only see Liverpool firing a challenge
