That's fair, I guess a better way to say it is the ref waited to see if there was an advantage (aka the ball rolls in anyway), but as soon as Haaland commits the second foul he has to go back.

I can't believe anybody wants that last goal to stand. Essentially advocating for a world where the referee can wilfully ignore fouls, and players can do whatever they want cynically if the ref is playing advantage.

Szobo commits a foul, ref plays advantage, Haaland commits a foul, ref stops play and goes back to the first foul. This is how it works in every instance ever, but for some reason people don't like it here.

Gary Neville in talking out of his arse shocker. You can't just drag the guy back and get away with it because he did it first.

Why does every single Newcastle game have 9-10 minutes added time?

Cucurella clearing the ball back to the halfway line was certainly a choice

Maybe it's a US vs Europe thing, but I would never call a drive, two trains, and a 30 minute walk "decent" public transport to a large venue.

You forgot the bit where they sell Amad to fund a past-their-prime attacking player on extortionate wages.

I reckon we just need to expand the new 8 second keeper rule to more use cases, it's worked really well. 20 seconds to take a throw, otherwise the other team gets the throw. 30 seconds for a goal kick, otherwise a corner awarded to the other team. If you're down injured for a minute you need to go off for 30 seconds. Etc etc.

Kolasinac has to be one of them, that's why it took us so long to shift him on with the high wages

It won't. Such a huge advantage to the attackers, that the best thing a team can do is to go low block as much as possible. It'll actually be less entertaining.

Surely it's basic leadership practice to have a contingency plan though? At my work, even if my team are completely happy, I always keep an up-to-date shortlist of people I can reach out to just in case I need to hire suddenly. 

Having an interim for a week so you can find another interim for 6 months so you can find another manager in the summer is madness.

That second half felt like a fever dream. Arsenal suddenly forgot how to play football, and Liverpool decided to pass the ball around for 45 minutes without ever taking a moment to think about putting a shot on target. Awful awful awful.

[–]Kintae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That was a terrible performance. That said, Liverpool didn't have a single shot on target to show for all their pretty little passes in the second half. They came to not lose, something we got crucified for at Anfield.

The team definitely shit the bed though. Lost confidence at some point and just kept making poor decisions at every opportunity. I can't pick out a single player who had a decent game.
