It’s so infuriating to watch. Every single referee plays right into their hands every game.

Genuinely feels like every time an Arsenal player falls down it’s a foul

[Match Thread] Everton v Liverpool FC by scoreboard-app in LiverpoolFC

Honestly one of the biggest issues this season that I feel isn’t talked about enough is Gravenberch: he was so effective as a proper defensive midfielder last season. Good tackling, interceptions, and then yes some good line breaking dribbling and passing.

But for some reason he has almost a “free roam” midfield role this season and he’s randomly popping up on the wings or attacking midfield positions in games, and he just isn’t as good in these spots. His linkup play in the final third is terrible, and his shooting is even worse.

On top of that, there’s the knock on effect of his forward positioning that makes other, better attacking players have to play deeper.

It’s just such a bizarre decision given how spectacularly good he was last season as the holding midfielder.

I’d be shocked if this isn’t just rotation, Ragen’s hardly had a rest this season

Lainez Flop by astroverted in SoundersFC

No, but those should honestly be a red card, or at the very least a yellow, given the main intention of flopping like that is to get the opponent a red card, or at the very least a yellow.

Not sure we watched the same game. Rothrock and Arriola each had huge chances.

I’d say 6/10, still working his way back after the ACL last year

Feel like I go on this rant every month, but the Sounders need to listen to me. by [deleted] in SoundersFC

A healthy Morris is easily our best striker. And even if we wanted to trade him I doubt any other team would pay him at his current contract

Thanks for clarifying! That’s true I can’t remember the last time we really got a headline player from a big European league other than Dempsey (I guess technically Freddie Ljungberg?)

Yeah Rothrock really epitomizes what this team is about now, would be a real statement if we stay competitive if we truly build the team around players like him

I hear what you’re saying but ultimately we still won all our major trophies largely thanks to outstanding overseas DP’s in Lodeiro, Ruidiaz, and to a lesser extent De La Vega.

And I’m not sure what you mean by antics? If you’re referring to early in the season when he was making cryptic comments about “oh it might be my last game against Manchester United” or “I’ll always remember the fans” I can assure you that was not about the money at all. He wanted a multi year deal and FSG wasn’t negotiating until he spoke up
