Greenlizard0 Premier League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [18th - 19th May 2021]

We are losing Europa. Team is on the beach.

That makes no sense. We have had plenty to play for in all our games since we made the EL final. If playing Liverpool, Leicester and the EL final doesn't motivate you then you shouldn't be a professional footballer.

We are just a crap team that clicks occasionally and has enough quality players to beat out most smaller teams.

I still don't see us playing well as a team for any amount of time. Not even 2-3 games in a row. It took a world class goal from Cavani in this game and we are playing a team who are already relegated.

Usual Ole late subs. Been struggling all second half but let's wait and give two players 6/7 mins

 

[Andybtsn]

That's it, get the holding midfielder on to hold on to the 1-0 loss.

We're losing to Leeds with 15 minutes to play in a virtually pointless game, throw a young striker on and see what happens

He doesn’t want to be embarrassed by our makeshift team

If Fred's out for the EL final, Lemina may have just done you a huge favour.

Although obviously he's fine as he wasn't actually touched

What tackle are you watching...

What tackle are you watching...

The one which left him doing his best Bruno Fernandes imitation on the floor. He's not quite got the scream of pain down yet though

 

[The Running Man]

Usual Ole late subs. Been struggling all second half but let's wait and give two players 6/7 mins

87 minutes, donny comes on...

Its just braindead can someone get a message to ole that subs need time.

He himself often came on with more than 3 mins to go, has he forgotten?

But the slide tackled didn't touch him at all. He just got treatment for the vapours?

 

[manic111]

What a moronic free kick

Eh? Are you really suggesting that every time a player gets treatment it's because they've genuinely been hurt?

 

[explicit4u]

That Ings turn deserved a goal, great technique.

 

[adam cool dude]

That was a pretty dross game.

 

[Andybtsn]

Bloody hell, Roberts scoring

 

[Lokai]

Tyler Roberts, about time

 

[Andybtsn]

That was a pretty dross game.

Should have watched the other game. Great win

 

[Kenai]

Did McCarthy just decide not to bother with that second shot? Utter garbage

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Pathetic performance. So much for missing the fans.

 

[Converge]

Well that was a pretty lame end after such a great goal, can’t even beat a relegated team with home fans back for the first time.

Eh? Are you really suggesting that every time a player gets treatment it's because they've genuinely been hurt?

Yes. Why else would they bother unless it was to waste time. You get nothing more for getting the whole medical team team on the pitch vs getting up after 20s on your own. Considering the tackles that players don't get the medical staff on the pitch for, they usually come on when it seems like it could be something more serious.

I'm not even sure why this bothers you so much. He seemed to get the ball cleanly and took out Fred afterwards. It wasn't a foul but he hurt Fred. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

 

[omnomnom]

Just listening in the radio and Warnock is criticising Shaw for the equaliser. Have I missed something as I've seen the replay and AWB is caught napping?

 

[Trusty]

that touch from Raphinha
