I know it's slow motion, but you surely can't push it forward along the ground like that when you are stationary.

Edit - It seems you can

I stand corrected, seem to recall though they were involved in numerous high scoring games though.

Yeah, that was the usual MO. Really tightened up in the last 12/18 months or so though defensively.

Correct. There were so many good players on that LI team. They were going places. Shame they were allowed to go bust. Yep, the last season they were playing some great stuff going forward. Their defence was leaky though and they ended up in some crazy high scoring games. *Second best defence in the...

I doubt there's a second one. Looks awful though and thoughts to those involved. That just came second hand from a first responder. Hopefully it’s just speculation that there are 2 Yeah, may be true.

Stat wise Atalanta had the better xg - Liverpool (1.84) 0-3 (2.73) Atalanta They created the clearer chances.

Yep. Liverpool for me too.

Plenty to do in the city. Get the metro up to Crosby to see Gormley's Another Place statues at the beach there for something completely different that you don't see every day.

Two really dopey goals conceded on the break by Arsenal after being in control of that one. Bayern clinical with their chances.

Pressure on now to keep pressing, whilst managing the danger that Sane is posing in space in the transition

Kofman seems as reliable in his assessments as anyone these days to me. His is usually a far more nuanced position than Russia will win in the traditional sense. He raises pretty credible concerns about manpower and shell hunger etc when I've listened to him recently. Whilst modern stand off weaponr...

United have absolutely no shape The game plan is that someone will do something magical 4 defenders and 6 attackers basically. Gaping canyon where a midfield should be. Probably why they’ve conceded a metric ton of shots Having to support them in one off games is life shortening. I have no idea how...

I've no idea how they drew that game, but I'm glad they did.

XG in brackets. Days like this you really feel for Onana.
I feel for all of Uniteds defence.

How can you blame them when it’s effectively 5v11.

Yeah, Liverpool are great going forward, but defending is a team job.

15 shots to 0 in that first half.

Plus with players like Trossard on the bench.... there is backup. Only bad injuries can stop Arsenal I feel. If Saliba and Gabriel go down.. are the back ups any good? . They are certainly vital. I think you'd switch White to CB and play Tomiyasu at RB if one of them went down. White's a better CB ...

Even as a Liverpool fan, if Arsenal don't win the premier league this season, it will be a tragedy. Easily the best team to watch this season. A combination of peak City, Liverpool, Barcelona and Madrid.... Just irresistible. Ha, I wouldn't go that far. They are in great form, but plenty of road to...

Genuinely embarrassing reading your posts

They are trash.

Lucky to be where they are in the table. Conceding 30 odd shots a game just doesn't happen to a serious team. That goal from the corner at the end was a shocker. They are completely asleep defensively.

Just to put NFL players’ athleticism into context, LRZ’s pro day results would put him 16th fastest in this year’s rookie class at the combine for the 40yard dash, and his vertical jump would be dead last. That’s just for WRs. And he’s probably the most explosive and certainly the fastest player ru...

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is wanted by Dallas police for racing his Corvette and causing a 6 car pile up. Also rumours he fled the scene with a gun. If so, he could be done.

Liverpool will be the happiest about how yesterday went and it was a dull match for the neutral. That said, I'm encouraged by the performance from an Arsenal point of view. The plan wouldn't have been to play without the ball for so long, but that was a game it was vital not to lose. Defensively it ...

Him getting a practice squad slot was always a certainty here. Teams get an extra slot for an IPP player which costs peanuts for them.

Making an actual roster is the challenge and where he'll really prove people wrong.

Good luck to him

They don't really sell though. They just shed players at the end of contract or even mid contract recently. There's no windfall from it as there's not a transfer market to speak of in pro rugby. They have cut costs down to the bone try to survive until the financial reality of pro rugby in England ...

For what it's worth Castle Park is a great place to watch a game. Not sure what the details of their MSC bid was, but there's a lot of room there to expand (albeit no idea on the planning situation)

I like the drop outs. If you get held up, you've messed it up and you also prevent the 5 minutes of scrum resets that often followed.

Don't have the stats clearly DOB, but genuinely think it forced teams like Exeter (who were Pick and Go RFC) into a rethink.
