If goals are scored by offsides and deflections, handballs etc then it's entirely possible to deduce that the forward line is lacking form Power.
It really isn't. People often make the mistake of confusing runs of luck with good or bad form. The old adage that form is temporary and class is permanent is well based in statistics.
Not necessarily. Teams that go 3 goals ahead generally aim to protect that lead and stop taking risks. If they get there by slightly dodgy goals, then so be it. How many times did Lampard score deflections? How many times has Defoe been offside and scored? Good players often play the margins and take opportunities that others won't. Alli, Kane and Son all shoot a lot, even when circumstances are unfavourable. That sometimes leads to deflections and own goals.
Well perhaps it should be possible. I could have saved 180 mins of time watching Spurs out think/play Madrid, comfortable in the knowledge that the clips of the seven times the ball went in the net was a true statement of what I witnessed over the 180 mins.
Our goals against Madrid were one own, one offside and one deflection out of the four "WE" scored. Manifested next match by the struggle against Palace the performance of which NOBODY on here was satisfied.
Put the ball in a position that the defender has to try to clear. He leaves it? Goal. He touches it? Might be a goal. If you don't pressure defenders or put them in difficult positions, then you'll never score. If you keep pushing them, keep forcing them to make decisions and keep trying things, then the likelihood of a mistake increases massively.
If we had not been given a penalty like the Stirling one I would be well annoyed. Stirling was caught and so it was a penalty. The offside was poor though.
The penalty was a correct decision, the only mistake Mr Oliver made (in this incident) was not to send off Monreal as it was a clear goal scoring opportunity and there was no legitimate attempt to play the ball, so if the letter of the law had been applied City may well have won by more than 3-1 that was achieved but that is just pure speculation on my part.
Careful what you wish for. The leak is from a company from Bermuda who helps tax evading. I am not accusing anyone but our owner lives out there.
Bit vague, what's it in reference to? Has he just received a late birthday present, passed his driving test, lost his virginity. Could be about literally anything going off that one tweet.
Wet spam will be changing their bubbles song now and come out to the status quo song down down deeper and down couldn't happen to a nicer club
Bilic's sacking (which is clearer in the original tweet, but for whatever reason that didn't get added)
It is claimed that Everton are going to make Diego Simeone an offer to become their manager.............One can only assume that Everton owner, Alisher Usmanov, will be putting a horse's head in the Argentine's bed if the answer isn't an instant "Yes."
On a similar theme, the OPTA stats show that Jack Cork of Burnley is the most industrious player in the PL this season, covering the most ground. Bournemouth have covered the most distance as a team, Utd the least (again). Alli has made the second most sprints - but would have been top had he not missed the last match (assuming he hadn't just wandered about for 90 minutes). Utd were rubbish at this too.
Dyche really does make his players work. They're frequently up there in those stats. George Boyd topped it regularly before he left. Maybe Southgate should call up Jack Cork for the England squad? Would be funny to see Mark Noble have a meltdown, if nothing else!
