  1. felix brych is butchering this tie with his terrible officiating.
  2. On the one end I want Real Madrid cos they are THE Champions league club and i want to thrash them while they are this poor on the other end iw oudl not mind liverpool staying in the competition longer and take their concentration off the league.
  3. Maybe you can try to knot each end of a towel and slide them under a door so there is a sling on the other side of the door where you can put your feet through.
  4. early whistle from the ref again. He just likes it in his mouth too much.
  5. that was övröbö level robbery . i would go mad if that was vs us. triple fail by the ref. wrong decision, early whistle and ridiculous yellow
  6. stupid ref just stole a goal from dortmudn and made it impossible for the VAR to let the legit goal stands. disgusting
  7. devastating attack from city. thats how you punish mistakes
  8. The Nordic hamstring curl itself is ancient but relatively new in preventive physiotherapy. Relatively new in such a field means like 10 years tho. Still bar Micah Richards I have never seen a football player perform it. One has to keep in mind that a lot of the conditioning routines that are used in English (and German for that matter) top flight football are very outdated. Just look at the pre-match warm up stretching routines they do. Those are rather traditional to say the least. We used to do the very same routines in our kids' footy matches 20 years ago. A lot of those stretches are proven to be ineffective or even harmful esp the way they warm up their hip flexors and mobilize their spines. Hence, I do think that clubs all over Europe would benefit from more progressive methods that sadly arrive in Europe with a bit of time lag. US sports trainers and therapists appear to be a lot more advanced. That being said, the Nordic curl is a very advanced exercise even for elite athletes. I have been doing fitness and strength training for 10 years now and can not yet do a full ROM Nordic after months of practice. Amidst all the travelling and regular training it will take a dedicated and concerted effort from the conditioning staff to work him through a progression. Usually off-season as @MoroccanBlue said would be the perfect opportunity to learn the movement. So whilst even the Nordic can not protect you from injury through trauma it shold prevent all those strains Pulisic suffers without impact. So, I do think that Pulisic is unlikely to have mastered the Nordic yet but he would profit greatly from it.
  9. He should learn the nordic hamstring curl. absurdly effective strengthening and lengthening exercise for the hams. Always used to have niggling hamstring tendons but completely shut them down once I learned the Nordic.
  10. Yeah but the stadium still is round so by construction they are not as close tothe ground as with a rectangular one
  11. the stadium was 80k tho before they unscrewed some of the seats Also it is obviously a track and field stadium. the crowd is too far from the football field. Stadiums in EPL are tiny all over still. For such a highly funded league those guys should be on nfl level. even bundesliga stadia are somewhat bigger.
  12. lol before that needless downsizing maybe. no idea why they fkin decreased the capacity of a perfectly fine stadium.
  13. Nuno the egghead just killed all of their attacking vigor by subbing on vietinha. wolves have been useless since the 2-3
  14. wolves had more than enough chances to win this just bottled most of them.
  15. playing with fabio silva is like playing with 10 men or less. what an excuse of a footballer.
  16. nuno threw in the towel by subbing on the useless fabio silva
  17. shows once more xG is mostly BS, albeit in this particular instance the direction given by xG is correct...can't really make this up.
  18. what a run by traore. imagine oneof our wingers would be in lingard or traore form of today
  19. disgusting misses from wolves. how can you not score there. they are jsut gifting it to westham. wolves look likethey have been bought.
  20. beautiful movement, pace and pass by lingard but that shot should not go in. patricio is absolute pants at his near post. not the first time he conceded a cheap goal there.
  21. The transformation of Antonio under Moyes has been nothing short of breathtaking. He used to be a mediocre midfielder with unspecific skillset who spend most of the game chasing his first touch and now he is one of the most versatile PL strikers.
  22. I think he knew what he wanted but could not really get it across or find enough tactical routines to manage different game situations. His overall vision with the players brought and wanted to bring and the system he wanted us to play was a viable long term plan. He would fare well in an executive position rather than in daily coaching business.
