Gomez had a poor game but it's likely a one-off. He plays better alongside Virgil. Leoni's mother is a physiotherapist so he will have additional medical help. Should get the results of his scan today.
Yeah, not an excuse as been a yellow for so long and it’s a weird celebration anyway - but no idea why it needs to be a yellow. Such a weird rule to bring in.
They really did it to stop slogans on shirts but they put it sown to delaying the restart of games. It'd a fifa and uefa rule so across all the sport and since 2004. So basically Ekitike from the first moment he kicked a ball was subject to this rule and should know better. Tearing your clothes off in celebration seems stupid to me but its done by some players to show their abs. They should be getting a 2week fine every time by the fa given to a proper charity to soften their cough if its thst big a deal.
Its an odd one and I cant say i saw.it but you.get the usual folks going i saw this or that or second hand so you.dont know but we do know when they produce the gas then its severe.
Apparently Ekitike's celebration was a copy of Messi's El Clasico celebration in 2017. The two players had a good connection while at PSG together. Messi nicknamed Ekitike 'el Fierro' which means iron rod in English. And that's the trivia for the day.
I did say that was the trivia for the day but will add this - that shirt that Messi held up in what has been described as his iconic celebration, sold for $450,000.
Unfortunately, it looks like Lioni has torn his ACL according to Fabrizio Romani. Really bad news for the lad, he will be out for the season
Best thing for him now, don't try to rush him back.. Let him recover, and take time to regain confidence in his body. It comes as a blow when something like that happens and you don't feel invulnerable any more. Fortunately he's not a starter (though he would have been important given the number of games), so barring further injury, and a signing or two in January, we should be able to give him the time he needs.
As much as anything, he knew. As I said last night, my niece was in the Main Stand just metres from him, and he was sobbing his heart out. I think Slot reffered to that as well. I ****ing hate the early rounds of the LC. If we could go back in time, I'd prefer Soton beat us and we that we took Leoni off after 75 minutes for concussion, nd Ekitike missed an open goal and never got to take his shirt off, and...well, I suppose if your aunt had balls she'd be your uncle. We had to play the kid sometime, and this was the ideal game. He was playing so ****ing good as well.
I agree. It's such a shame for the lad. At times like this you can try and feel better about the situation by putting things into perspective and wishing that Jota was out just for the season.
The registration rules were changed just before the current tournament kicked off to allow clubs to make one change to their squad during the league phase in case of injury or illness lasting a minimum of 60 days. Registration valid up to matchday 6 even if it's a temporary replacement.
Yup. Its "up to round 6" so what it actually means is up to the January transfer window when you can reregister anyway. Chiesa can play cb as well. Anyone who is that slow but works that hard deserves a break. Classic cult hero material
he’s not fast, I’ll grant you, but he’s not that slow either, is he? Made really intelligent runs and was great on the ball from what I saw (second half), Isak will play a half, Chiesa a second half vs palace - very tough game for us. Palace are very strong.
