Magic Lamps

I don't like it, but as long as Alonso is our only usable left back and Kante is out, back 5 is by far our best lineup in big games.Also it keeps Barkley out of the lineup

thats why they called him the killer with the babyface lol He still looks like a baby. Baby Benjamin Button that is

Our gameplan is probably getting to pens cos there we have at least a 40% chance with very little the ref can do to manipulate the outcome

OGS is just 5 years older than lamps but looks 25 years older lol

smart from giroud. just evading the tackle, making bailly and maguire collide

how is this not a penalty on zouma btw. clear headbutt on him by bailly. I know those a gernerally not given but they should be. when you are late for the ball and just hit the player youconcede a foul when you do so with your foot, should be the same for doing so with the head

we are getting so many headers off in the box. we really should at least get them on target.

This was always a match vs utd and the refs

In 2008 vs Utd he whistled for halftime the exact moment we were executing a dangerous freekick from the edge of the box. dive no. 7 from fernandes. this is absolutely rigged

that we need to be careful not to engage them in the box, cos they dive and get penalites their way all the time. He is right but refs tend to be even more against you when you call them out for their BS

bruno fernandes with 6 dives so far.the ref gives afoul on him from 50 yards distance when thelinesman right in front of him saw nothing. this is so crooked

Ole was right. lamps comments did not help us. the ref is clearly influenced in their favour now

bruno fernandes again pretending injury to get a player from us booked.

all those tall manu players going down under minimal contact probably to take this piss out of the correct diving accusations. incredible that the corrupted ref again is tolerating that

great tackle from jorginho on Fernandes who makes an absolute show of the dive when there was no contact. Fernandes is like one of those whiny little girls who always pretend to have some terminal illness just to get attention

could easiyl have scored here. the game plan is clear. azpi and RJ pumping crosses to Alonso and Giroud

we need to act way quicker when they produce turnovers. just too ponderous

I can’t see a lineup with no pace working for us here

We will likely get a minimal fee set by a tribunal

we also looked defensively solid, better than Arsenal today IMO, vs City when we could park the bus. It is way easier for the defenders to look like heros when there is another deefender behind you to cover when the ball gets past you. they lost vs Spurs, brighton and obviously when city spanked them just after the restart so we should all stay on the floor here. We have lost fewer games since the restart. Give us Emy Martinez as gk and i think we would not have lost vs Westham and maybe not vs SU

I have to say Arteta starts to worry me. He gets the tactics spot on 80% of the time. He also is very well educated and has experienced in these kinds of environments as pep's assistant damn mustafilooks injured. i hope he doesnotmiss the final lolhe could be our biggest goal threat

he also has the perfect age IMO late 20ies are the best age for a goalkeeper. Already experienced and still quick reactions. He also has no documented injury history

you are right. but how is this relevant to us? Spurs willl be motivated to lock down 7th at least. and arsenal could easily win this whilst them qualifying another way is unlikely, given they are 10th and out of el

Maybe we can put out a cheeky bid for him when leno comes back and is no. 1 again. A keeper like this deserves to be starting somewhere and we currently have the worst gk in the league

Those backs to the wall games suit David Luiz perfectly. When he can be proactive he is a decent defender. when he is under absolutely no pressure or specifically targetted with no one around him he fucks up.
