bar thats not actually true. We are far more tactically set up than just the full backs do x. The fact is TAA and pass the ball long and short. He's set up to play in salah rather than overlap par se. He does overlap at times as well but he's not as advanced. To say however no central midfielder makes a pass is simple not the case. The other fact is 80% of our game sis against teams who sit very deep and narrow so naturally the space is wide. You'll see salah now staying wider than early in season as a result.
VAR = video assisted REFEREE. the referee has a preconceived opinion on the issue, at best its "i didn't see anything"
He has an opinion based on video replays. It's the same people making the same mistakes, they just take longer to ensure they make them now.
true. they can go.in now with a presumption that any contact with a hand no matter how accidental will be a pen and the video only reinforces the predisposed position. it's not a mistake at that point its wilful disregard for common sense.
If in a position to shoot, I'd twat it every time knowing there is a chance of a penalty of it hits a player.
So in my mind we need a Prague win tonight not enough for tie to be over but enough for them to need their full team next week
it's still games and prep. we know what we need to do. they have lost 6 away one massive effort needed here. unlike last year we have fit players to rotate in and out and make.subs in games. We were down to 3 fit cms for 2 moths football last year. We have 6 this year. upfront we have sort of 6 sort of... origi sturridge and shaqiri are really just 70min subs when game is won merchants. we even have 4 cbs back fit really the only area to brick it about is full back and Robertson just had an enforced rest and Milner is cover
Apart from Rafa’s pride They’re in form and a tough game for us....they’re al tough games. Especially today’s!
