1/18-1/19 Game Thread

[SocrManiac]

A fun to watch Watford and a hard to figure Spurs kick us off.

Are Tottenham fans sick of watching Son go down blind alleys and taking shots from bad positions with open teammates yet? I don’t like Spurs and it drives me nuts.

 

[SocrManiac]

I’m ready to fly to Watford and break that drum.

 

[OCST]

Watford should have win this game. Deeney missed a pen. They were the better side throughout.

 

[SocrManiac]

I wonder if we could crowdfund a campaign to pay NBC more than Nugenix so we don't have to see Frank Thomas again.

 

[candylandriots]

That looked like a penalty on Zaha by Stones to me.

 

[candylandriots]

Cenk Tosun scores on Palace’s first shot of the day. Even more amazing is it came off a corner.

 

[candylandriots]

Should have been 2-0 about 30 seconds after. Still not entirely sure why not.

 

[CPT Neuron]

The Gunners and Blades are at least entertain if you ignore the sloppiness

 

[Titans Bastard]

Gio Reyna just came on for Dortmund. First team debut.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Halaand era off to an insane start for Dortmund.
Comes on in the 56th minute with Dortmund down 3-1
Sores in the 59th
Scores in the 70th
Scores in the 79th

 

[candylandriots]

VAR saves Palace’s ass with a good decision. Ball went off Riedewald’s foot and and deflected into his hand. Originally called a penalty then overturned.

 

[Titans Bastard]

Now Indiana Vassilev is making his EPL debut for Aston Villa. Nice day for American kids.

flip him now for a profit!

 

[candylandriots]

13 minutes to go with Ward and Dann on the bench maybe put in a defensive sub Roy?

Goddammit. Aguero with the goal. After Wickham comes on for Tosun.

According to TM, Dortmund got Håland and Sancho for a combined €28m. They'll be making plenty of profit...

I hope he makes it somewhere so fans can figure out a chant to the tune of the Indiana Jones theme song

 

[CPT Neuron]

What a goal at the Emirates, all level

Why won’t Roy listen to me? Aguero again.

In less silly news, he apparently made a nice run to draw defenders away for Grealish’s equalizer.

 

[candylandriots]

WICKHAM! I take it all back.

wait it was Zaha off Fernandinho.

either way I’ll take it.

 

[candylandriots]

I really wish he’d at least eat some clock up with a sub.

 

[InstaFace]

Leipzig looking really sweet against Onion.

Here's a stream.

Adams' technique is looking OK, though he's missed a few key passes. His fitness, on the other hand - it's 60' right now and he's already jogging it in, clearly not able to keep up the pace righ tnow.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Anyone else wish they were hanging out with Seven Costanza just as Newcastle scores a 94th minute winner against Chelsea?

 

[shawnrbu]

If Liverpool/ManU draw tomorrow, when was the last time none of the big 6 win?

 

[PedroSpecialK]

This was the first thing I thought of as well after checking livescore

Of note, Matt Ritchie happened to kick the corner flag into a fan's nuts during the celebration

[PedroSpecialK]

Burnley turn it around on Leicester - saved penalty at 1-1 by Pope, Westwood scores off a poorly defended cross by Evans, and it's 2-1 deep into stoppage time now

 

[Pesky Pole]

At least Telemundo airs YNWA.

 

[67YAZ]

Ouch. Boot to the nose.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Big Virg!

 

[67YAZ]

VVD!

Edit: ManU have been playing very well in the middle of the park, lots of energy in the press. But this set up looks a lot like what ManU rolled out last time, and it's tough to beat Liverpool by rolling out the same tactics twice.

 

[Zomp]

Maybe Williams shouldn’t mark him?

 

[shawnrbu]

“That could be a huge goal in sealing a first League title in 30 years.”

Huge goal, really, Arlo?

 

[SocrManiac]

That sky backdrop has been stunning in several shots. The VVD celebration with the purple sky was gorgeous.

Is Harry Maguire really captain material? He seems... Dumb.

 

[SocrManiac]

VVD is going to go through half a dozen Nike shirts per match. He gets yanked constantly and they’re made of tissue paper.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

HAHAHAHAHA

May not stand, but still funny.

 

[67YAZ]

Oh boy. But brilliant stiker by Firmino.

Edit: Seems like it should be called back for a foul on VVD.

 

[Zomp]

How....is that not a foul???

 

[SocrManiac]

Somebody has to get a card out of that reaction.

 

[Zomp]

So does De Geas yellow stand? Wtf?

 

[shawnrbu]

So does De Geas yellow stand? Wtf?

For successfully arguing his case.

 

[SocrManiac]

Sorry, that’s not a foul. That’s bailing out weak hands from the keeper. If there’s a doubt, you punch.

 

[Pesky Pole]

So does De Geas yellow stand? Wtf?

Absolutely, you can’t make contact with a ref even if you’re right.

 

[67YAZ]

What a ball by VVD!

 

[JayMags71]

Le Saux says VVD was “leading with his arm”. LOL.

He had no idea where De Gea was. They drifted together.

You are absolutely allowed to challenge a keeper. They are taught to raise a knee for protection and detection of an opponent when the eye is on the ball. De Gea made a bad decision to catch and got bailed out.

Oh, I agree. Hence, “LOL”.

Sorry, I was agreeing with you.

 

[67YAZ]

Not sure why the ref is swallowing his whistle here. Liverpool getting chippy, not long before this devolves further.

Notable change I see this time from Pool is that TAA is staying back while Robertson pushes forward. They're daring James & AWB to get in behind.

 

[SocrManiac]

Man, United are dogshit.
