Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [2nd - 7th March 2018]

I'm not saying this as negative for Spurs, just that it's fairly amazing. Spurs are 13 points ahead of Arsenal in 6th, but they are still 17 points behind City. They sit in 3rd albeit played a game more than those around them yet are still 17 points off the top. City really are just freaking insane. They should drop some points so they have something to actually aim for next year

FOr us, 30 points left to play for but already 30 behind, City score a single point and even some kinda of horrendous disaster involving all top 5 teams and we still couldn't win it and even now it would have to be some crazy goal difference situation.

I hope Pep will stay for long and City wins in the next 5 years and more. Like Olympique Lyonnais has achieved in France.

why on earth would you want that to happen?

 

[Kenai]

Another must win game for Southampton where we've limped to a draw. We'll be down, we can't pick up enough points from what we have left if we can't even get 3 at Stoke.

 

[Kenai]

Maybe he's a City fan?

 

[nemtizz]

This camera angle is horrific.

 

[Purdy]

Ox complete weak link in midfield thus far, slow to react and heavy touch

 

[nemtizz]

For all his faults, Dummett really is great 1v1.

 

[Purdy]

Gayle had ****** it but was onside there

 

[Mark1989]

Can having his bad game of the month it seems

 

[Purdy]

These lobbed through balls working well chaps (Y)

 

[Mark1989]

Woop guess who salah!!

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

About ****ing time!

All about the willingness of a midfielder to pick up the ball and run at the defence, they've all been far to static this half.

 

[Purdy]

Fair play to Ox, perfect timing on baiting the defender.

 

[antijoke]

Salah has scored the same amount of goals as the entire Newcastle team lol

Hopefully he bags another couple to move ahead of Kane

Yep, Lascelles was marking Salah and got suckered in — left him completely unmarked at the back.

Expected more from our Captain tbh.

Not much he could do, left 3v2 after Ox got a lucky break in midfield, gave Ox a lot to shoot from if he didn't.

 

[nemtizz]

That interception in midfield ****** our entire shape. Game owa.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Nothing in that half really. We had all the possession but we couldn't break Newcastle down and didn't want to take a pop shot or run at their defense.

Fancy a few mistakes at the back for both sides in the second half but we really need more from TTA, Robertson and the midfield three going forward.
