It's not a flattering outfit, that's for sure. Somewhere Belichick is watching and smiling.Sarri has a huge gut but almost no arm fat.
Tragic outcomes has basically been this squad's raison d'etre since they lost the Invincibles core.The finishing for Arsenal is tragic. Chelsea need the half time whistle desperately
Samesies. Did you see the Emery quote where he talked about midfielders having two flexible positions (a 6 and 8 or an 8 and 10)? That fits Ramsey, Torreria, Xhaka (kinda), or even MG, but Ozil is a 10-full stop. I don't mind him on the wing as a forward, but he's simply not a guy who forms an interchangeable spine with the 6 and 8. IMO they'd be better off in a middle-heavy 4-1-2-1-2 or 4-4-2 diamond than the 4-2-3-1 they show when moving forward.I'm an absolute huge huge Ozil fan, but I'm really not sure he fits Arsenal's new style of play.
He's done. He's not good anymore.I'm an absolute huge huge Ozil fan, but I'm really not sure he fits Arsenal's new style of play.
Don’t watch a replay of the first goal conceded. It’s embarrassingWest Ham defending, still atrocious. Leave up 1-0 and looking good, check in and we lot 2-1.
yeah sadly I saw it. Made even more sad that it was one of 10000000000000 examples today that Mark Noble is washed.Don’t watch a replay of the first goal conceded. It’s embarrassing
Yeah, and the score is closer than the match has been. Jose was apoplectic.Just walked in. 3-1 at half. Yikes.
This sounds about right to me. This was the perfect illustration of what Sydney talked about in the "newbies" thread in the World Cup subforum. It's one of those weird instances where Salah has to make the decision to either attempt to stay up and risk losing the scoring chance or attempt to use Sakho's clumsy tackle against him. I bet in 100 instances that gets called about 50/50.I thought it fit into that awful grey area that footy produces so often. There was contact, he threw himself on the ground. Goes either way.

I'd agree with that. But the leg Sakho stuck out did keep Salah from taking a step to try and get a shot off. We all know the ref won't call it if he stays on his feet, so it pretty much forces him to go down or lose the chance.It just had that look that Salah thought about it. Whatever contact was there from Sakho, it wasn’t what brought Salah down.
Fans of any team should cut and paste the first paragraph - and just substitute the name of hero and villain as required when required.I'd agree with that.

Definitely in that gray area. In slo-mo it could go either way, but at real speed with Sakho's leg stuck out that far, it's not a surprise the call was made.
That’s exactly what I thought about it too. @SydneySox did a really nice job laying that out. So I guess I agree with @SoxFanInCali too.This sounds about right to me.

Ha, we ultimately all do root for laundry.Fans of any team should cut and paste the first paragraph - and just substitute the name of hero and villain as required when required.
I agree and I agree that it gets called a penalty most of the time, especially against a star player.I'd agree with that.

Yup.I agree and I agree that it gets called a penalty most of the time, especially against a star player.
It was pretty soft, though.
But until they figure out a way to award half a shot and half a goal for a soft penalty, it's a binary decision.
I'd be fine with them if they were the away kit. Unfortunately, this is the 3rd kit. The purple ones are the away kit.Liverpool's away kits are growing on me.
You think? It looks like something I'd see in a charity shop for about four quid. It's got a real British Heart Foundation vibe to me.Liverpool's away kits are growing on me.
I bought an away kit for my girlfriend because it’s a perfect match for her alma mater’s jerseys.I'd be fine with them if they were the away kit. Unfortunately, this is the 3rd kit. The purple ones are the away kit.
