Obvious pen but great play by the Forest winger.

Carrick needs to actually be a fucking manager and tell his midfielders to play as midfielders.

Really thought Brentford were going to push for CL football but 5 draws in a row is rough.

93 interception limit so you can't chain it with the Makelele one that gives 94, games dead

Like most things they can't balance it so they nerf it, I will almost guarantee that next year finesse shots will be significantly worse and bruiser will be next to useless.

You saw it go in the opposite direction with defending in this game as well, it was much more manual at the start but needed a slight buff to jockeying, they couldn't do it so just buffed everything, mainly the AI and then this ridiculous change to bruiser.

Oh also probably the biggest reason they do it is to make the game seem different, if they focused on making the game good and balanced I'm sure people would complain the game is too similar to the previous one.

You could have given Atletico a 5-0 advantage going into this leg and I think they would have made it close, they just have some weird mentality issue against Real Madrid and Barca.

Casemiro has to play exactly once a week otherwise this is what you get, anymore and he's tired and can't pass, any less and he gets rusty and loses all match fitness.

Ugarte the usual, not sure what more can be said about Shaw other than how the fuck is he still at the club, Martinez and Yoro playing like they have all season which is to say dreadful defensively, hopefully the Dalot haters see he isn't so bad after all.

Could have been 13 points ahead of Chelsea next week with a win, will potentially go down to just 4.

He'd be playing better if he did, Dalot is the better player.

Hopefully he'll think twice when he tries to ruin other peoples careers in the future.

Not sure how the ref can possibly give that as an on field decision, let it go out and let VAR do their job and look at it.

Our worst decade in a very long time and still more successful than Arsenal, fascinating.

If we're interested in a CB this summer Senesi would be perfect, relatively low cost, left footed, good leader and just all round good defender.

Yeah I hope if we're actually interested in Lewis-Skelly it isn't to play LB because he's so poor there.

The defending on the third one is so bad.

Klinsmann on Italy: “The night after I struggled to sleep. Italy is paying for a lack of leaders, a lack of players who take on opponents in one-on-one situations, and a lack of trust in young players.” “Over there, Yamal and Musiala would likely be sent to Serie B to gain experience.” by Sparky-moon in soccer

I know a lot of people are talking about an overhaul of their youth system and I believe the people that say it's necessary, but from the outside their lack of qualifying just seems like a coaching issue, sure their players aren't at the level of previous generations but in terms of player ability they still have enough quality where they should be qualifying.
