UEFA Europa League 2021-22

[ScottishCanuck]

In a European semi and all those Neanderthals can sing about is German bombers

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Cresswell did it again.

 

[hatterson]

Stonewall red. Laughable the ref didn't give it as a red live, but thankfully VAR fixed it.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Red for West Ham. RIP.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

That’s the tie. No way they make up the two goals.

 

[Chimaera]

It's a foul. But a red?

Ehhhhhh

 

[hatterson]

It's a foul. But a red?

Ehhhhhh

Last man back, it literally can't be anything but a red.

 

[Chimaera]

I guess. I didn't see in the replay whether or not someone could have gotten over.

I guess. I didn't see in the replay whether or not someone could have gotten over.

No one else was remotely close, closest player was something like 20 yards away.

A+ job by Dawson completely losing his man in front of goal and neither stopping the cutback nor being remotely close to him man.

 

[robertmac43]

Impressive atmospheres on display in both games.

 

[Chimaera]

Leipzig need half time. Man... could be over.

 

[Live in the Now]

Dear god the bigots might make a European final

 

[Live in the Now]

The Cresswell red is also more of a "how are you this dumb to do this same thing two times in European games"

 

[Ceremony]

It's alright, the longer they go the funnier it is when they lose.

 

[Chimaera]

I don't know if it's true or not, but there are supposedly a number of West Ham fans walking around Barca this week.

Yeah hopefully. The shit they'd say when they're in Pot 1 of the f***ing Champions League isn't something I'd like to see.

 

[Live in the Now]

Sigh that chance Laimer had was going a mile wide even though it was saved.

THERE IT IS

 

[robertmac43]

Amzing ball in from Angelino and finish from Nkunku

 

[Live in the Now]

Kampl fortunately very lucky to not be given a second yellow.

 

[Live in the Now]

Nkunku world class. Every time he touches it you know he's going to do something right.

good hell wtf

 

[hatterson]

Honestly Benhrama getting a yellow there is just the ref having no idea what to do to control the game and hoping he can keep things calm by giving everyone a yellow.

 

[Live in the Now]

Moyes is a loser lol. Kicking the ball at a kid and cursing at him.

 

[Ceremony]

@cgf I'm holding you responsible if this mob can't beat Rangers

 

[sabremike]

Can someone who understands tactics better than me please explain something: Why is it that I constantly see defenders get the ball in their own end with nobody near them and then just stop and invite an opposing player to close them down rather than do what I would think to be the safe and smart thing and get the ball out of their own end as quick as possible? And why do keepers also do that when risk/reward says doing so is a really bad idea?

 

[Live in the Now]

Seville going to be torn to pieces by these two sets of fans. Feel bad for anyone living near the city center.

When you wait for someone to close you down you're dragging their player offsides and trying to open a passing channel.
