Starting to see players' touch go. In huge matches like these players are usually going 110% from minute 1.
Subbed him in basically just for that penalty and it was pretty bad.All the penalty kicks were fantastic except for Ramsey. Perfect kicks from Frankfurt.
Awful. Probably the lowest percentage shot available- low and center with pace. The keeper doesn’t even have time to get out of the way.Subbed him in basically just for that penalty and it was pretty bad.
I was watching the Final with my wife and was telling her about Arsenal's 1979/80 season, in which they reached both the Cup Winner's Cup Final (losing to Valencia) and the FA Cup Final (losing to West Ham after taking three replays - four matches in total - to defeat Liverpool in the semifinal, after needing several other replays as well earlier in the competition) but came away with nothing. Those were the days, man...Rangers could pull a converse Liverpool. They will have played all possible games but one this season (they lost in the semis of the League Cup), but if they lose the Scottish Cup final next week they will end the season with nothing.
This post prompted me to look up that Arsenal season. Arsenal played 70 matches that season, and amazingly, Brian Talbot, who scored the winner in the third semi replay against Liverpool, started all 70 matches. Legend is that he fainted on the bus home after the last game of the season.I was watching the Final with my wife and was telling her about Arsenal's 1979/80 season, in which they reached both the Cup Winner's Cup Final (losing to Valencia) and the FA Cup Final (losing to West Ham after taking three replays - four matches in total - to defeat Liverpool in the semifinal, after needing several other replays as well earlier in the competition) but came away with nothing.
