DrPhilly Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Pretty boring game ManU/Chel at OTrafford yesterday. Not much happened. ManU with the better scoring chances but there weren't that many. Good for Chelsea to keep a clean sheet anyway given the trouble they've had in the back. One thing I am getting sick of is the blatant abuse going on during the corner kicks. I'm not suggesting that ManU should have been called for a penalty but rather that the league needs to crack down on this sort of stuff. They probably have to start with a statement that refs are going to start calling penalties and then go from there. I mean if we are going to allow a defender to wrap their arm around a guy's neck and pull him down we may just allow them to do anything at all.

The center backs have been awful and Azplilaq isn’t getting any younger either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that match was a snooze fest and the non-call was a blatant penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went up 3-0 and then held on to win 3-2. @TEW What happened man? On 10/21/2020 at 7:43 PM, TEW said: I didn’t watch the match. From what I’ve read Madrid had an abysmal first half. This is after losing to a minnow this weekend. That said, Zidane’s teams have historically started slow. They tend to win when it matters though.

TEW Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 On the subject of American youngsters, Dest has been excellent for Barca so far. He looks like a guy who could be a starter for them for 10 years. I can’t even fathom if someone told me a decade ago that the US would have teenage starters at Barca and Dortmund and one of the best wingers in the EPL.
