I think 2.96 is an average of 2.96 points too high for Stones. He was bloody awful.

Bit harsh on Stones that.

I guess this pressing style forces players into mistakes. Generally, in the past few years, I would say players have improved on the ball, maybe just an off night.

They just can't handle the pressure of the big games and haven't for half a century !

 

[petersaxton]

I’m not sure why his hand stretching out behind the defensive line should be offside

they only count the bits that can legally play the ball - ie not their arms and hands

Pickford's was too low as well. He made a lot of fine saves.

you only play the ball out from the back if you are allowed to. If the opponents press you then you don't take risks and exploit the spaces in their midfield and defence.

Stones being so ****e is the benefit to HCAFC or rather the ****ers bank accounts..

How so ??

 

[originallambrettaman]

How so ??

Presumably because it looks like they'll replace him with Maguire.

 

[Chazz Rheinhold]

I refuse to make a match thread for the paddys game against Denmark but Christ they are ****.

They used to have some really good English players playing for them, what's happened.

Delaney playing for Denmark is a tad confusing.

 

[Edelman]

That's how you head it !
Great cross

 

[Ullofaman]

Delaney playing for Denmark is a tad confusing.

Especially when he decides to open his gob and say that the Irish play a primitive style!!!!! Obviously his hobby isn't genealogy. Is that an example of hoisting your own petard?
