Live Match Discussion 2022/23

[Deutsch Wolf]

I feel that Gyokeres will be the same. I haven’t seen much of him I must admit but even we you look at his highlight reel and goals he doesn’t look that good. A “big man” but not big enough, quick but not quick enough. And then not especially technical, plus a lot of his goals are scruffy which just wouldn’t go in at this level.

Don’t think Brighton we’re letting him go for peanuts if he they thought he was decent, 25 soon too, not particularly young. Might be worth a promoted club taking a punt, but I wouldn’t be putting my eggs in that basket.

Yeah, I wasn't enthused by that (tenuous) link at all.

I think how absolutely brilliant SEB was a level down and how largely innocuous he was in the PL, and the game has moved on a fair bit since then. Just looking at goals scored isn't enough.

That description of him matches exactly what I see. He’d probably have scored more than Costa and Raul if we’d signed him in January but the bar is lower than the finals of the limbo world championship.

I'm hoping it's down to the last game, we're safe and we turn them over.
'They've still got to go to Molineux and get something and I'll love it, love it if we beat them'.

The game is at the Emirates

So it is

I'm still convinced that in a team that created chances sylvan would have scored goals at PL level.

I’ve read Chelsea are interested in Meslier. Based on his flapping at a cross to gift Fulham the lead and following a stream of poor performances I assume it’s as a ball boy.

Leeds are falling apart again.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Begs the question, how bad is the reserve keeper at Leeds?

 

[Wolf Hunting]

It's long been the methodology of goalkeepers to palm balls away. You very rarely see them come and wrap those dirty big nonslip gloves around the ball. Very rare.
The last two goals conceded by the Leeds keeper illustrate that so well.
Shit keeping.

2-1

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Meslier just misses out on ra third assist.

 

[Mel Evo]

Club Wembley couldn’t be arsed to turn up for the FA Cup semi final then. First ten mins of the second half will look like they’re playing in an empty stadium.

 

[Tony Towner]

Robinson didn't give the ball away for that goal, but the backing off and just letting Mahrez run through would have made Stephen Ward blush

But not Matt Doherty or Roger Johnson.

"What a story, Mahrez with a hat trick"

Er? What story?

If it is a story, it's not a good one.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Very poor form from Sheff United fans to not sell out.

If it is a story, it's not a good one.

Not many hat tricks in the semi finals?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

But it's Sportwashing FC v 2nd in the Championship, it's far from a story that the billionaire club have a player that score a hat trick?

 

[Kenny]

People just don't believe in fairy tales anymore do they...
