!Hazard! 3,394 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Kante doesn't have a natural position. He's simply everywhere and he keeps getting better Supermonkey92, bigbluewillie and MetsajCFC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAM09 7,056 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Is that a clear rule? Last I checked, any ball to hand contact is deemed as a PK now. There was zero intention, the foot striking the ball was inches away, and he was not in an unnatural position No pen for me Intention is not longer considered. It's black or white now (hit the hand or not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only concern is we look shaky as hell from set pieces. But much like first half vs United we've played well. Props to zouma though who has looked solid though with some key blocks etc. Even if we lose this hopefully people will see the sky isn't falling. Let's hope we push on in the second half Kante is the key player and look where he is playing shame sarri couldn't get him to play like this.

Jase 43,479 Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Biggest difference from Sunday tonight is we're pressing far less aggressively and dropping back whenever we lose the ball to deny Liverpool any space behind. Have looked far more secured defensively...so far. bigbluewillie, Supermonkey92 and Costa19 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying that women should not be refs in a mens game just as the other way round. Clearly the gender is irrelevant for being a good ref. but the occasion has clearly gotten to the ref team. I dont see it. Sorry. Maybe the Matip semi dive at the end, but I see that rot sold and bought every week in every league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supermonkey92 1,428 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 CAPTAIN AMERICA SMASHING LIVERPOOL. I was sceptical about this kid. But he has control. Looks to be a much better finisher than I thought he was and BOY is he fast. Faster than Eden. Left AWB behind on Sunday so what luck does Gomez have? He's gotta be first team gaffer!(Oh and some of his passes have been the shit. Not just the assist. Some sexy chipped ball across the defence to Emerson was unreal!)Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Costa19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,056 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Third point is clearly down to interpretation (bigger being the key word), then. Could have easily gone against us IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could easily have gone against us IMO. Pretty sure it's because Christensen was too close to the ball. If he had been few yards further away and it hit his hand, then I think the ref would have given the penalty. robsblubot, LAM09 and Vesper 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 That was not a penalty for sure. All three subs from Sunday are so beneficial for us. Pulisic, Giroud, Kante. Add Rudiger, James, CHO and RLC and sky is the limit for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firmino coming in as predicted. will give us new problems but will also give us more opportunities on the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,186 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 If you remove ALL intentionality judgement from it,the game will go to shit all players in the box will just try and smash it against a defender with no thought to goal, just to hope they hit an arm or hand communicate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
