Why are people so slow to anticipate second/third passes in a move? Stand around gawping when the ball is played to a team mate and wait until they've made it to the ball and got it under control before they make their move. No wonder the football is so slow so often.

 

[Throbber3]

Marcal pass to your own team man!

 

[AndyWolves]

Haven't been able to watch this one so far. Seems like we're doing alright

 

[The Bear]

Nice stats but meaningless without being able to score goals.

 

[WsWolf]

Kept the ball alright but we haven't really created a chance yet, few speculative efforts. Need to create more when we are on top or we'll always have the same issues with lack of goals.

 

[The Bear]

Why on Earth did Jimenez head the ball back instead of letting it drop ahead of him?!!!

 

[Alan]

Holy heck, Raul. Should never be offside there and should be on target.

Fuck.

 

[jdrodrigues]

C'mon Raul! Geez

 

[Carsy]

Why on earth hasn’t Raul got himself back inside there!?

 

[WsWolf]

Does Raul think he's playing centre half there? Wtf

 

[MARKakaJIM]

And then stand offside to miss a sitter.

 

[Throbber3]

Raul are you stoned mate?

 

[Jinky]

Absolute shite from Raul. Get onside you lazy git.

 

[Alan]

Raul are you stoned mate?

I am and I knew better.

 

[WsWolf]

Absolute shite from Raul. Get onside you lazy git.

Never mind that. How about not heading a ball backwards when it could be easily control it 7 yards from goal.

 

[jdrodrigues]

Moutinho teaching Podence how that is done

Never mind that. How about not heading a ball backwards when it could be easily control it 7 yards from goal.

That bit I can give a pass as surely you’re not expecting Ronaldo to make that kind of goof in a million years.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

To be fair it's pretty impressive to fuck up an absolute gift three separate ways in about 5 seconds.

 

[WsWolf]

Nah, that sort of awareness is drilled into kids at 9/10 years of age when they play over here, always gamble on the ball dropping to you.

 

[jdrodrigues]

We get one in while we're on top! C'mon guys
