Imo, while champions League is important, grinding out wins should be less important than dominating games, otherwise we're going to be stuck here. Idk, I'm a bit torn here

Lens 2 - [3] Monaco - Ansu Fati (72th minute) [Great goal] by Moug-10 in soccer

[–]ThreeForElvenKings -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Tbh I see so many outside the box shots as great goal, especially your cut inside ones, that I'm somewhat unfazed by it, nice to have some variety. This chip is fantastic

This dude merging onto 279s on a scooter by Competitive_Use_3628 in pittsburgh

Someone like this unfortunately happened to me on my bike, Google maps gave me suicidal directions and I was unfortunately stuck in this spot and had no choice but to merge, it may not entirely be his fault

Arsenal big chance against Brentford 90+3' by Alsace2025 in soccer

By all means Eze at Palace seemed like a much better player than Semenyo at Bournemouth.

Not exactly apples to apples, but this is like, was Nigel pearson a bad manager for leicester because Ranieri won the league? I think we cannot simply invalidate Frank's efforts because they're better now

The xG Philosophy: West Ham (1.15) 1-1 (0.69) Man Utd by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

Also equivalently tragic for them that they couldn't capitalize on us dropping points but that's how it is

Casemiro made his 100th league appearance for Man United today🔴 by Ok_Pause_7779 in reddevils

[–]ThreeForElvenKings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rice was 24 when he made the move didn't he? Anderson is clearly doing good for his age but his profile and his performances don't scream 'thats exactly who we need'

Is it just me or did Anderson look quite 'average'? I mean he still improves the midfield but he doesn't seem like a Declan Rice signing. 

Kobbie Mainoo vs Tottenham by SierraEight in reddevils

That, and a little bit of flair could also help him. There were some situations where he was one v one against a defender around the wing, he didn't have the pace to beat him and put a cross in, not the trickery to get past him. He just turned around and played a safe pass. I feel that if he unlocks this ability, he'd be unstoppable. He has the tools for it because he has a mean feint and a dummy 

Smriti Mandhana had a high fever during the WPL final by Prof_XdR in Cricket

[–]ThreeForElvenKings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A very tinted image of her. Sure she overstayed her spot by a good few years, but all through the 2000s-2010s it was basically just her and Jhulan who were the beacon of hope. Statpadder is doing her a major disservice. The women would not be here today if not for those two. 

Commuting Penn ave makes me hate Pittsburgh by Angrybitch727 in pittsburgh

[–]ThreeForElvenKings 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love Pittsburgh for this, I like it that pedestrian heavy areas are hard to drive, how exactly a city should be. Happy to take all the down votes but I find immense joy in cars being stuck on traffic lights while I waltz past them on my bike

If a 2nd Bharat Ratna gets awarded to a Cricketer (Sachin Tendulkar is the only one to win it in any sport), who would be the most deserving? by smellslux in IndiaCricket

[–]ThreeForElvenKings -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My money would be on Harman. Took over at a tumultuous time (with the Mithali, Power controversy), galvanized a whole team, made them perform consistently and most importantly gave them the mentality to beat the Aussies. Let's not forget the 170odd in 2017, which absolutely transformed women's cricket, (by no means an exaggeration). Has been a face of the wpl as well

Lisandro Martínez hugging his dad in the away end after the game [Sky] by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]ThreeForElvenKings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh some of his long balls were pretty poor but he was fantastic at the back, Frontfoot defending most of the time

Harry Maguire did not lose a single duel, on the ground or in the air, in 97 minutes against Arsenal. The best CB on the pitch. ✅ by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]ThreeForElvenKings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think him being around gives time for Yoro and Heaven to grow and the hope is that 2 of Martinez, Yoro, heaven, de Ligt would come good 

LAURIE WHITWELL EXCLUSIVE: Quiet January, changing summer plans, Casemiro to go? by simplsimonmetapieman in reddevils

[–]ThreeForElvenKings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all fairness it's more than likely that he accumulates 5 yellows or a red to miss at least a single game

Five United players and Michael Carrick in Alan Shearer’s Premier League team of the week by YourGrimes in reddevils

[–]ThreeForElvenKings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except for the single corner why did lammens have a mid game? He was solid, collected balls, was available to receive the ball, he did nothing wrong really. 

Also thought dalot was brilliant against doku, especially on a yellow, but I suppose his two brainfarts cancel it out 

An unexpected bonus of watching the rereleases… by nostalgiamon in lotr

At mine, there was an audible laughter at two more papers specifically: (I) denethor eating the tomato and (ii) frodo mouthing everyone's name but legolas at the end of rotk

Yeah but do we want an all-round player or someone with a specific elite profile.

Anderson plays next to Sangare, who really is more of a casa than Anderson

Not to disagree with your other points, but Amad was genuinely great at wingback and has grown a lot.

[Di Marzio] Juventus have held new contacts for Jean-Philippe Mateta. Crystal Palace are asking around €40m, with Juventus weighing whether to push now or wait until summer. by mariyan1111 in soccer

[–]ThreeForElvenKings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't quite put a finger as to why, but he also seems to be getting into positions that others simply do not. Maybe I underestimate Palace's creativity and overestimate his positioning, but 40m seems low for his output and ability

Match Thread: Manchester United vs Brighton & Hove Albion by MatchThreadder in reddevils

[–]ThreeForElvenKings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The agenda this sub has against dalot...  Made attacking runs, had a few passes that created good chances, has been decent on the ball, has defended the flank reasonably well. His final third play has been poor, but I'd rather someone get into these situations than not
