It's the year 2000 and effin 17 and we still don't have replays for offside and onside goals. I get that penalties are harder to judge, but it's such a crime for offsides.
Lacazette's goal was obviously one of the worst good onside goals I've seen in a long time. But I have a bigger issue involving this squad....
I am an Avs fan and last season I saw goals against from all certain aspects in hockey. You wouldn't believe how many goals happened against us which came from offencive turnovers. It's beyond the rational thought to count and any Avs fan here can conclude that they witnessed the same scenario. A similar situation to the Avs is the AMOUNT of chances an opponent team gets when Mesut ****ing Ozil turns the ball over in the offencive zone. He's done it numerous times last season and so far he's done it at least five to seven times in two ****ing games. Stoke's only goal comes from a pathetic Ozil turnover which gave them space on the counterattack and eventually score against a backline of Mustafi and Monreal. I cannot simply state how ****ing
INFURIATING it is to watch a player like him.
I love Monreal and the amount he's developed here should go down as one of the best in the EPL. But he's not a CB and doesn't have the strengths to be a CB. Where the **** is Laurent Koscielny? When did he get an red card to miss like five matches? But don't worry, because Cahill at the Community Shield is able to play the next ****ing match. The definition of insanity for all the pro-Wenger posters here by the logic of Einstein's famous line...
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
It's beyond ridiculous how Arsenal are a team who win because the strengths solely on two players; Cazorla and Sanchez. Cazorla has a ludicrous amount of IQ to know what decisions to make and at what times similar to the same impact Verratti has for PSG. You won't find these players anymore for 20, 30, or 40 million and how much Wenger wants Xhaka to be that, he isn't. Xhaka is looking more like a deep-lying playmaker with a temper than he does as a genuine BXB midfielder. And because Wenger is old and senile and stubborn he doesn't have a clue that a proper CDM would benefit immensely for a system which is 3 defenders wide and break down any counterattack. Hell, not even a CDM, but a powerful BXB which Man United have in Pogba and Matic. With Sanchez, you have a player who's unbelievable work ethic and technical skills gives Arsenal a dangerous player for inside the box. For the people who watched today, Arsenal are allergic to get inside the box except for one or two players (Alexis changes this a great deal).
I hope this post starts to give some understanding to the pro-Wenger crowd that he's past his prime.
Some other notes...
- WTF is with the camera angle at Anfield, disastrous? On the topic of Anfield, it's like a Neil Diamond concert; a lot of singing-along, but rather toothless.
- Mkhitaryan has to be the worst CAM/LAM shooting forward that has talent. His shooting is so bad that it's like a man trying to pick up chicks in a Lesbian bar.
- I was going to give Man United some credit because they look damn good, but both wins have come against dreadful sides. West Ham is looking like a relegation team, all that potential they had a couple seasons ago is all falling apart. Swansea deserved a better fate though IMHO.
That offside call was quite debatable. Looked to me that he could've been offside by just an inch. If it was that close most refs probably wouldn't call at all.
You mean the Lacazette goal? It's not even close to being debatable, only part of him which was offside was his boot tip which was like 5 cm. It was as good of a goal that there is in the game of football. Wonderful finish though.
