igsey Posted 24 January, 2021 Posted 24 January, 2021 So refreshing watching a game featuring either of these teams with three neutral pundits and a neutral commentator. No Carragher/Neville bullshit. 1
saintquin Posted 24 January, 2021 Posted 24 January, 2021 Is Pogba the most over rated player in the league. Don't remember him playing well against any of the good teams. Jenas just gives him MOTM. Guess I'm watching a different game.

Don't remember him playing well against any of the good teams. Jenas just gives him MOTM. Guess I'm watching a different game. Expand Certainly appears to be. Even at St Mary's I remember him having a poor game. Poor passing, getting the ball nicked of him. Lemina gave him a hard time that day and Strongarm scored twice if I recall.
danjosaint Posted 24 January, 2021 Posted 24 January, 2021 Thiago must be up there as well, just like against us keeps giving away silly petulant fouls all over pitch
Sheaf Saint Posted 24 January, 2021 Posted 24 January, 2021 (edited) Just tuning in for the Everton v Sheff Weds game, with an immense feeling of pride. My 17yo nephew is making his first appearance in the Everton first team squad for this one - Tyler Onyango. He's been making a big name for himself in the U23s this season and has been knocking on the door of the first team for a while. Found out yesterday he'll be on the bench, and I'm not expecting him to get on the pitch, but just to see his name on the squad announcement on Twitter is incredible. Edited 24 January, 2021 by Sheaf Saint Didn't say what team! 10

I hope he goes on to have a successful career! There was someone on here too who had their nephew play regularly for the Saints U23s- but I think he might have got released from the academy now which shows how what these PL players do week in week out are truly the 0.012% 1
Sheaf Saint Posted 24 January, 2021 Posted 24 January, 2021 It's a decent game this. Both teams playing some nice stuff so far.

Expand Dele Alli specifically requested to be known as Dele as he doesn't want any association with his father, or something like that. I assume TAA is referred to as Trent as his surname is a bit of a mouthful. Is there anything that doesn't piss you off?

Sheaf Saint Posted 25 January, 2021 Posted 25 January, 2021 Wycombe doing quite well to hold Spurs so far, though been a bit lucky with the crossbar coming to their rescue a couple of times. Former Saints academy lad Jason McCarthy one of their stand out players.
John Boy Saint Posted 25 January, 2021 Posted 25 January, 2021 Ah well good fight from Wycombe - 2 in 2 minutes flatter Spurs - Jose had to dip into the big guns on the bench that he was hoping to keep fresh for Thursday.

The Cat Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Comfortable for West Ham. Even when Palace break in numbers they get it all wrong. I guess West Ham's scattergun transfer tactics would eventually come up with a few gems. They look well organised with a good balance of skill, technical ability and power in the team.
igsey Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Zaha is one tenth of the player he thinks he is. Must be so frustrating to play with him.

ChrisPY Posted 27 January, 2021 Posted 27 January, 2021 On 23/01/2021 at 11:03, Whitey Grandad said: The Offside Law is the gift that keeps on giving Carrying on from our discussion yesterday, isn’t this interpretation just a continuation of the old ‘played-on’ consideration? If the moment Mings touches the ball any opponent is free to compete for it despite running back from being well offside doesn’t that amount to the same thing? The ball wasn’t even under his control before he got tackled. Expand PGMOL, IFAB, UEFA and the Premier League have now clarified for future scenarios: "Where a player in an offside position immediately impacts on an opponent who has deliberately played the ball, the match officials should prioritise challenging an opponent for the ball, and thus the offside offence of 'interfering with an opponent by impacting on the opponent's ability to play the ball' should be penalised." "Accordingly, if a similar situation to the one involving Rodri's impact on Mings occurred in a future match, then the impact would be penalised for offside."
Saint Garrett Posted 27 January, 2021 Posted 27 January, 2021 Moyes has done a brilliant job at West Ham in fairness. Dawson was a shrewd signing, they have talent going forward, and picked up a few gems in Soucek and Coufal. Fair play to them.

East Kent Saint Posted 27 January, 2021 Posted 27 January, 2021 What will they do about City's 2nd goal ? Lino flagged but Ref allowed play to go on as per latest guidance , WBA saw flag and more or less stopped defending . VAR said onside so goal stood . Lino was a yard behind so it would have looked off but she wasn't supposed to flag until move played out , apparently.

Lino was a yard behind so it would have looked off but she wasn't supposed to flag until move played out , apparently. Expand Nothing. First thing you’re taught is play to the whistle. The delaying of flag is designed to stop onside goals being ruled offside. Yesterday’s goal was a perfect illustration of why the rule is in place. The ref saved the Lino’s bacon, had he blown when she flagged, a perfectly good goal would have been ruled out.
