Olympiakos (H) Slightly Dealyed Match Thread

[Freddeno]

would like to get Adama more in the game

 

[Parkins left foot]

First 15 mins we pressed - we are not now & allowing them to play

Dodgy keeper for them & we need to test him

 

[The Bear]

Our first ever VAR overrule for a goal against us!!

I don't have a stream, but the official commentary says El-Arabi was caught offside on the check, if that makes the decision more sensible to anyone who did see it.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

But that defending ffs. Five all in a line on the six yard line, no fucker tracking the late runner, or the guy that pulled back towards to penalty spot

Sloppy from Doherty initially dropping off the line and making it a much closer call than it needed to be.

Moutinho the big problem after that though, he doesn't track his man at all and that means Neves gets pulled across otherwise he'd have been right on the bloke who put it in the net.

Raul with the Jota disease of overrunning the ball instead of feeding someone in a better position...

It was one of those bullshit armpit offsides mate, technically correct, but 100% bullshit

 

[Freddeno]

we let them play more and more..higher pressure please

 

[The Bear]

Agreed. Looked level to me.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Are we asleep at the back?

 

[Jinky]

Need to put our stamp on the game now. Vital to get through to half time ahead - they are coming on strongly at the moment.

 

[slink]

We've stopped playing again. Great for 15 minutes, getting worse as it goes. Need to get the ball and and just move it and keep it for a while.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

I still hate these tight offside calls despite the fact that's gone in our favour for once. I'd rather see goals given when they're that close. It's a bullshit rule.

 

[The Bear]

We're playing a high defensive line. Possibly a consequence of pushing everyone up to press more.

Let's end this now. She knows more than you and she certainly knows more than me.

You're the one who said it's a minor sprain, best case. Where's your MRI, smart arse?

Not sure the need for the aggressive tone.

Bold claim to say she knows more without knowing my credentials, unless she’s an orthopaedic consultant, in which case yes she will know more than me.

I’m going off the evidence available, he’s clearly landed awkwardly and felt something in his knee. For that to happen he has to have done some damage, ergo minor sprain (how minor I do not know). Now you or I could probably play on with a minor sprain and just feel a bit sore tomorrow. But at high level sport, a 1% decrease in performance is massive. Also the risk of further damage.

Now with the next game being in 5 days (and the game after that 10 days away). Even the most minor of injuries could see his season over. Not really a crazy assumption to make and simply the point I was making. Now hopefully there is nothing wrong with him, but regardless of degree or 20 years in orthopaedics there’s still no way you can say that.

Our midfield is like the Keystone Cops at the moment.
