2584349, Weekend Soccer 12.26-28: A Christmas Carroll
Posted by benny, Sat Dec-24-16 11:13 AM
Kind of a very uninspiring slate of games this Boxing Day to be honest, unless your version of family bonding involves watching Watford and Crystal Palace bumbling across the midfield. The Moyes bowl (United-Sunderland) will be a good way to see if United really have figured things out.
Anyway, most important is that y'all have a safe and happy holiday time, whatever your plans are.

diva'd his way out of RM cause he thought he should be the 2nd highest paid
ran from Man Utd cause the EPL was too hard for him.
playing like trash at PSG and basically quit.

2584621, LMAO he was too good for that shitty Man U team

2584627, Or he had his house robbed and never recovered mentally

That incident is well known. I've seen Brooklyn himself mention that before as the major reason his play declined...not sure why he went with "EPL was too tough" this time...sounds like emotion.
|
2584702, Contributing factor. But "EPL was too hard for him" is total nonsense.

2584681, He got paid then quit but he's willing to get a raise for doing nothing

2584678, is an Okazaki role really the best fit for Mata?
Posted by benny, Mon Dec-26-16 10:27 AM
I like him a lot, but I wonder if hes been put there by default. A stronger player might be a better complement to Ibra

2584686, Anichebe looking like he treated himself to a nice hefty Xmas dinner

2584693, he's playing the wrong football
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Mon Dec-26-16 11:56 AM
breh look like he was born to run seam routes
|
2584692, meh only 3-1. Moyes deserved at least 5.
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Mon Dec-26-16 11:50 AM
i feel bad for Pickford. he's really good.
|
2584694, Hats off to Ben Foster...we finally got something by him
Posted by LA2Philly, Mon Dec-26-16 11:58 AM
He gave the Baggies a chance and saved them from a 2 or 3 goal differential. Thankfully, Ozil played in a perfect ball for Giroud who was able to get one past in the 86th minute.
Needed that win for the team's confidence, let alone the 3 points.

2584818, i feel bad for hull. they were giving city their money's worth
Posted by pdafunk, Tue Dec-27-16 01:38 PM

2584854, i can't keep up with the math. is he still worth 1/4 of jurgen klinsmann now?
Posted by pdafunk, Tue Dec-27-16 03:26 PM
but yeah, this was a rough fit from the start. how are you going to be the first american coach and be tasked with saving a team from relegation? i mean, look at pardew. you have managers like him and others that have been in english football forever, saving teams from relegation and still getting sacked the day before christmas. it's cutthroat.

2584855, poor bob.

2584857, Awfully quick, but Swansea did look really shitty.
