GWT: PL Matchweek 18

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Alonso with the miss of the season there?

I know Mane has had a few bad ones but wow.

No? He did everything right and got brutally unlucky, it's not as if he skied a sitter.

He was one on one with the keeper, with all the time in the world, and he hit the post?

Disappointing for Chelsea, we needed this win. Leicester is a good team though, and Chelsea didn't do enough to get a result here.

 

[Halladay]

Good shit palace.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Didn't deserve the win and didn't get it, but bad luck with the frame of the goal didn't help either. Fair play Leicester.

Game changed when he took off Kovacic, midfield immediately became less competent on the ball. Poor ingame management from Sarri, who needs to have more faith in Kovacic (who still hasn't played a full 90 at Chelsea).

He was one on one with the keeper, with all the time in the world, and he hit the post?

He should've scored it, but miss of the season is cartoonishly hyperbolic.

What a 'matchweek' for Liverpool. Couldn't have really gone much better.

My patience at Sarri's obsession with Jorginho in the DM position has long since worn out.

Very big that City didn’t at least manage a draw.

The four pt lead instead of three could be massive the way this race has shaped up.

Liverpool has whittled a once seemingly insurmountable goal differential down to -5 too.

 

[Gecklund]

Obviously just warm ups but it’s fantastic watching this on TV and seeing Pogba and Young smiling and laughing and then Rashford just juggling and having a good time and seeing OGS smile during the interview.

 

[Jussi]

Lukaku out with a "compassionate leave". Ruh roh... Dare I even ask?

 

[Jack Straw]

Well that didn’t take long

 

[koyvoo]

Rashford kicks off the post Mourinho era off quickly.

 

[Halladay]

think the keeper was screened.

 

[Jussi]

think the keeper was screened.

I think Rashford may have finally succeeded in a CR7 free kick. He's tried and trained them forever. I mean those where the ball floats one way, then another.

 

[Evilo]

That's not a CR7 kick what you're describing. It's called a Juninho FK.

 

[Gecklund]

Lukaku out with a "compassionate leave". Ruh roh... Dare I even ask?

His dad passed away I believe.

 

[hatterson]

The biggest difference I’m seeing so far is movement off the ball.

I mean, it’s not like they’re city or Liverpool or anything, but they’re actually doing more than just standing still waiting for someone else to make a play.

 

[Jussi]

That's not a CR7 kick what you're describing. It's called a Juninho FK.

No, it's Ronaldo free kick because that's whom Rashford has been trying copy with his kicking technique since junior days. It is known.

 

[Jack Straw]

Man U players playing so... “happy”.

 

[Jussi]

Finally the deflections go United's way.

 

[Evilo]

No, it's Ronaldo free kick because that's whom Rashford has been trying copy with his kicking technique since junior days. It is known.

And who has Ronaldo copied?

 

[Live in the Now]

The City result was interesting in that they're now the team that has to chase points with a team in front of them. It wasn't like that before and it's a different situation of pressure they may not be able to handle very well.

 

[Gecklund]

Awful penalty call.

 

[hatterson]

Ugh that’s a really rough penalty.

 

[Jussi]

And who has Ronaldo copied?

Well if you ask him, he'll probably say himself. but since Rashford has been emulating Ronaldo's kicking technique. It's a CR7 free kick.
