Premier League Game week 6
- Thread starter Dante
- Start date
It is quite strange to be honest, I don't think FBs should've such a big bearing on a teams' overall performance. I've watched 5 games involving Spurs this season and I don't think you've played particularly well in any of them.
We all know what argument you were trying to make, we can see your post history too. You've been asking for posters on here to be critical of Poch for a while now. Maybe you'll be happy that it's gonna pile up on him very soon.
I think stretching back to start of last season is quite a reach but they've been abysmal in 2019.
Poch has hit a rough phase after several years of consistency and continously improving the team. Also, because our current manager is hardly pulling up any trees and believe it or not, not everyone is buying into Ole's vision. So if a superior manager like Poch becomes available, we should be all over him. Like how Liverpool were proactive in binning Rodgers for Klopp.
It is not that hard to understand why he would be of interest to us but I don't expect much rationale debate to come out of it.
Duh! Maddison and Sancho obvs
Seriously though, if we can pull that off, this place be rocking.
You nearly got me.
Part of his body he can't use? What are these new categories that you are creating? The rules are clear, no part of the body should be offside.
It didn't take a few minutes.
Common sense would actually hold to keep rules as neutral as possible, and not the arbitrary things that you are suggesting. I know you're pissed that Spurs lost, but it was the correct decision.
I really hope Neville and Carragher do a MNF segment on these VAR offside calls in the same vein to what Andy Gray did for Bein. Too many people falsely believe the chosen still frame proves 100% factually whether a player is offside or not.
I hope we don't have to wait until United are robbed of an important goal before MNF digs into this and exposes the flaws.

Why isn't there a "Lets all laugh at Spurs" thread?
In hindsight a relatively mundane and comfortable 1-0 against Leicester isn't a bad result after all
Might aswell make a "lets breathe" thread. It's just a natural thing everyone does.
Interesting that Pep has dropped Stones and not Otamendi.
I think you gave up far too many chances. Your midfield was almost nonexistent at times in the second half.
It was a decent result. Performance wasn't great, but we needed those three points more than a big performance.In hindsight a relatively mundane and comfortable 1-0 against Leicester isn't a bad result after all
I just try add a bit of balance. I'd gladly have Poch here, i just don't think he's as perfect as is made out on here.We all know what argument you were trying to make, we can see your post history too.

This is what the attention should be on. Instead all the talk will be on the correct VAR decision. Spurs' form matches United's over the last 20 odd games.
Stones is injured.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
I'd really rather you stop saying absolute shite about 'upset that spurs lost' when I've established pretty clearly that I've had the same problems with VAR in the past when it's been neutral games.
So I'll say once again: if this was Watford vs Leicester I'd be saying the same thing, that a stupidly harsh call like that is totally unnecessary.
And it literally took like 2 and a half minutes because they had to find that his shoulder was a millimetre offside. Which obviously hugely benefited Son, right?
Common sense is applying logic to situations, not arbitrary rules. Does the attacker gain an advantage through his position? Yes? Then offside.
It's the same with handball. If the ball lightly brushes a fingertip as it gets fired in to the box, has an attacker gained an advantage? No? Then don't disallow the goal.
Shite anal VAR decisions can piss off all round.
I don't, like with Chelsea 14/15 and United 17/18 (second half of both those season's) most of the games were absolutely wretched but they kept grinding out the results.
Just like on those two cases results were always going to catch up with them eventually, and they have.
This is quite good analysis.
It's actually worse. Yet Poch until now has yet to receive any actual scrutiny, when you compare it to what Ole's been subjected to.
yes, yes, I see Poch pulling trees for his 5th season in a row now. Soon there will be no trees in
Superior??? At being one of English Media darlings. Yes.
Oh, sorry he would win treble with this United team. Right.
Have a good day.
Look at both Spurs' performance today and ours last week. I won't tell you which one I'd have preferred, but it wasn't the one where Leicester had 22 attempts, and the opposition's midfield was porous. Say what you want about last week's game, but we controlled it for around 60 mins (30 mins each half). Leicester were pushing and probing but outside of Maddison's chance in the first 5 mins, they barely created anything.
Credit where it's due, with a must win game and our two best players out, we played a decent game.
It's the best I've seen, but unfortunately very few people here have seen it. This why I hope Sky do something similar with Neville and Carragher, because these flaws need to be exposed to a domestic audience. Claiming VAR proves whether someone is offside or not is just nonsense. It only proves what the frame chosen shows.
Offside decisions have had decisions based off of millimetres for decades before VAR. So close they were given offside when clearly on. This isn't a new thing. There's every chance the linesman gives it offside anyway if he's not told to wait for VAR on tight decisions

Haha true.
Oh, right. Thanks.
Yes, in fact some United fans would still blindly take him on as manager, which is not entirely unreasonable since he has a proven record of building a team, but he certainly deserves more scrutiny among our fans and in the media overall.
Yep I thought we controlled and managed the game very well last week. Spurs today was the exact opposite; a lesson in what not to do. The VAR decision was tough on them, but I thought they were poor for large parts of this game and definitely didn't deserve to win.
Because we always laugh at Spurs
But they have cameras working on a 3D plane taking at an absolute minimum 24 images per second (probably 60 or more) to choose from and then check the pixel (based on that 3D space) where the colour changes drastically. That seems like it'd have a pretty great accuracy, especially when calibrated with mm accurate equipment.
Manchester City ahead already. David Silva.
Jesus Watford, 52nd second. Plonkers.
This is the offside.
That was embarassing defending from Watford
Beckham-esque from De Bruyne
KDB with the most delightful of crosses
Pathetic already from Watford. Another game at home for City to rack up their GD, expect this to be 6/7-0 before 5 o'clock.
Best crosser in the world. Brilliant KDB.
What a cross!
