The Football Thread 2019/20: Barcelona will have 2-8 till next season to avenge this embarrassment

[Drumstick]

We have absolutely annihilated Norwich this half but have been so bloody wasteful in front of the sticks.

Yes boys, as dominant as a 2-0 can be.

I fear for Norwich.

[Photek]

cant help but feel emery is trying to get himself sacked now. extremely questionable substitutions, again pepe should of come on but nope. put kolasniac on instead.

I was at the game today agree with you about Emery poor decisions how Cebellos and Ozil stayed on. Wolves were by far the better team. No fight in Arsenal recently.

You should go for Allegri before Manu do.

the way things are, would not surprise me in the slightest if jose became the next manager if he was still free.

Yes please Allegro no thanks Jose.

Jose would probably sort things short term but in a couple years Arsenal would be back in the same place. I would like Emery to be able to turn it around but I can't see it happening or his contract being renewed next year.

I don’t understand the Firmino offside. The angle of the camera and lines which apparently show it as offside I think have been arbitrarily drawn to back up the decision. Unless the camera is in a straight line those lines are meaningless.

[Photek]

Martin Atkinson actually played around with the lines for 2 minutes till he could find one that would put Firmino off side, ridiculous.

[Captain Kinopio]

Pep can get strawberry floated. Sanctimonious twat.

[Preezy]

So how about those Manchester Uniteds huh

[Cuttooth]

West Ham's keeper had one of the worst performances I've seen in a while.

This is why I hate VAR. If it takes that long and that much effort to decide if someone is offside then I don't care. Offside calls should be obvious not something that takes several minutes of study to determine. And then throw in the inability of the technology to ascertain when the ball is actually released.

Either it was a joke that missed the mark, he's scared of his defenders getting ruined next week or he genuinely thinks that, regardless I'm baffled as to what he was thinking. With City often struggling and wilting at Anfield, I'm not sure throwing a big old can of petrol onto that fire was the smartest thing to do.

I wonder if accusing other teams of being cheats risks getting a charge of bringing the game into disrepute too.

Yes, it was a pretty crass thing to say. He also sounded really bitter about Liverpool (probably winning the Euro Cup, when he hasnt reached a final for 9 years)

Can someone link me to a vid or summarise what he said?

[Tomous]

That Firmino disallowed goal might be the worst offside call yet by VAR. I couldn’t even see where they were saying he was offside.

The rule needs addressing immediately.

[Curls]

Thank God Liverpool won because it would have been an absolute crime if they hadn't. The game would have been far far easier for them had that been allowed too. I think they would have kicked on to score a second by 60th minute.

Asked whether he was following the Liverpool result he said something along the lines of Liverpool being a quality side and they can do this “sometimes by diving” etc etc.

[Curls]

Well Mane did dive. But sterling is always at it as well.

[7256930752]

To be fair I'm sure Liverpool fans would have shown their frustration if a player who has dived and fouled during the match without punishment went on to score the winner.

The whole Man City team then

[Curls]

Liverpool give as good as they take when it comes to Diving, Salah and Mane are awful for it. Not harry kane standards but still pretty shocking.
