GWT: PL Matchweek 14

[maclean]

This game is too much, I'm trying to get work done here!

 

[Juve]

Not a penalty.

 

[Evilo]

Imagine if Son was Neymar... the outcry... He has spent more time down than up this half.

 

[KJS14]

Son has been on the floor more than his feet in the last 10min...

 

[Prntscrn]

I really didn't like the shooshing the crowd celebration, I hope we get some sweet revenge now...

Yeah I don't like that either. Now Premier League has gotten rid of most of the "hooligan" problem so maybe not as much an issue there, but that kind of culture still exist in lots of other countries. In my opinion players have a responsibility to not encourage that type of behavior since most people maybe aren't the most rationale just after conceding a goal or losing. Saw Auba to the same but way more toned down.

 

[Evilo]

Foyth has been bad too.

I have no issues from a fan standpoint. If a fan does something stupid becuase of a celebration that’s on them, not the player.

I think it’s a dumb celebration at that time becuase there’s still 2/3 of the game left and you just scored an equalizer. Save shushing the crown for a late winner or for an insurance goal when the other team was pressing for an equalizer.

 

[robertmac43]

i know it was offside but come on Auba

 

[robertmac43]

Right at the keeper, like that Iwobi shot earlier

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

A Spurs win is better for Chelsea because it widens the gap between 4 and 5, but damn this is unfair on Arsenal.

 

[KJS14]

Mustafi going for a bicycle kick lol

100% agree. But I still find it stupid and unnecessary to provoke.

 

[robertmac43]

Life isn't fair sometimes

 

[maclean]

Arsenal always with the short corner, I have an inexplicable hate for the short corner

 

[hatterson]

I hate the short corner only slightly less than I hate the long throw.

 

[robertmac43]

Son being called a "real force" by TSN right now....

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Spurs do that too often as well. They have Eriksen, use him!

What about the long throw w/ somersault though?

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Son being called a "real force" by TSN right now....

Both analysts on NBCSports said the PK was the right call.

*shrug*

 

[robertmac43]

VAR in...

 

[robertmac43]

Both analysts on NBCSports said the PK was the right call.

Really?

The TSN guys said they understand that with the speed in which the challenge happened the ref could have easily seen pen, but that he is payed to make good calls and that one was atrocious.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Arsenal doing a short corner when Ozil is out of the side makes sense because they have no one else who can do a good one - same with Chelsea using them when both Willian and Cesc are on the bench. Spurs have the best set piece taker in the league on the field - no excuse!

Arsenal have Xhaka, who apparently though needs the ball passed a metre back from the corner before he knows how to do anything with it...

I will never cease to be amazed at how bad professional players can be at taking a corner kick.

I'm not good at much in soccer, but the well-placed long ball is one of the things I do well. I feel like maybe high-skill players spend so much time working on high-skill stuff like dekes and juggling that stuff like that isn't flashy enough for them to practise
