Match Day Thread Vs Cardiff (H)

[Red Hadron Collider]

Agreed. But Virgil had to go for that ball. Just bad luck all round. We could replay that scenario another 99 times and it wouldn't happen again. **** happens sometimes .

The ball took an extremely fortuitous deflection

so cut the cross out and make your clearance... or just rush up and hope its always offside when you leave guy unopposed as until ball reaches the guy he's not offside.

the rule wording says offside when ball is played... Not only when he receives the ball

you're struggling with this one aint you

agreed i don't blame either VVD or Lovren it's just you are stuck between a rock and a half place with the offside rule as it now is.

I blame alisson for not even reading a touch by **** head

 

[saintanton]

Somebody could have prevented the cross, Virgil could have made a better interception, Lovren could have stuck tighter to his man, Alisson could have saved it.
None of these things happened.
On another day one of them might, but sometimes it just doesn't go for you. This is (one reason) why I constantly disagree with the philosophy of trying to play out a narrow advantage. You can just come unstuck in a moment.
Fortunately we were dominant enough for it to be no more than a blip.

And that is a salient point. No matter how good your defence is (and ours is a damn sight better than in the near past), it only takes one jammy deflection, one bad refereeing call or one trick that only comes off one in thousand to scupper your plans. All the more reason to not relax until you're three or four up.

This seems to be VVD's weakness. He scruffs no end of clearances, particular from that side.

It seems to have crept into his game recently. Not sure if it’s related to his bruised ribs potentially?

He's done it since he joined (possibly before).

He is right footed like....

Still shouldn't be slicing them like he does at times. Only a matter of time before he bags a OG like it imo. Not complaining though, he's a quality CB

We’ve all been waiting for one thing to criticise him for!

I've already moaned snot how laid back he is at times (before whoever said it a couple of weeks back).

I think every player in the world as his faults, just done have now than others

I reckon Robertson will cost more goals. His clearances are absolute Pish at times

What the **** does any of that mean?

Surely we've all moaned snot at some time or other?

Actually no
