DiegoDiego Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Yep typical Inter bottling it again. Sounds like a good game will have to watch the highlights today.The second half was dreadful. Genoa-Brescia was far and away the game of the day yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonHMFC Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Good result for Lazio against Fiorentina last night. For such a poor start, they find themselves just two points off the top four. Ribery had a meltdown at the end, pushing an official. Would expect a suspension for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brescia one nil up at half time. Edit: just watch the highlights in full, three belters from Genoa as well. He's an absolutely outstanding player. Another great performance against Inter last night and still only 19 years old. Manchester United supposedly interested but he's a player Liverpool/Arsenal etc. should be bursting to get too. Here's the video of his free-kick: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the video of his free-kick: I agree that he's fantastic, one of those players I first heard of through Football Manager and have since been keeping an eye on his career. In terms of moving to England, Arsenal or Man Utd could probably use a player of his skills most and that's where he would get a better chance of first team football. I can't see him getting ahead of Fabinho or Henderson at Liverpool 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that Henderson has really stepped it up this season but I still think Liverpool need a technically proficient playmaker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool are more in need of an advanced/attack minded playmaker than Tonali (who seems to be best in a more deep lying rime). From what I have seen in his last couple of performances, Oxlade-Chamberlain looks like he could be that player (that Kieta was supposed to be) while Tonali plays a more similar game to what Fabinho and Henderson already play. Man U and Arsenal are much more in need of the deep lying playmaker to support their attacking players, Arsenal especially who often like a 4-2-3-1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange to criticise a team with one only two points dropped out of the last twenty games but is noticable how reliant on wide play they can be. Inter fans were near unanimous in calling for Tonali to be signed which probably means he is Juve bound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 That just reinforces how backward thinking they are.You can get a straight red for foul and abusive language in Scotland too. Insulting someone's religion surely comes under that. If there was a Muslim referee in the Championship and Shankland said "Allah shags pigs" to him after receiving a red there would probably be a significant proportion of the public backing a match ban for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any player makes a comment specifically aimed at an official’s religion I would imagine that would be a disciplinary offence. But if a player utters “Jesus fucking Christ” I imagine that would be classed as blasphemy but would not IMO be a disciplinary matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over here it's more offensive to say "God's a dog" to someone than to call that person a dog and more offensive to say "for God's sake" than "for f**k's sake". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such I can see exactly why they all went radio rental............... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an absolutely bizarre signing. Maybe he has the same agent Julien Faubert had in 2009 Failed to win a deal at Roma.
