This is something that always felt wrong to me. Defenders and goalkeepers are judged by completely different standards compared to strikers for example.
When a defender or goalkeeper has 3 great saves but then makes one mistake they always look poor. But a striker that scores 3 goals but fucks up in one situation is still regarded as having a great performance. Although it is exactly the same. An easy goal not scored is actually the same as a mistake that leads to a goal. But the perception of both incidents is completely different.

 

Bruno getting hit hard late by Benfica constantly here. Be peak United for him to get injured and the deal to be called off.

 

Peak United would have been him getting injured and us signing him anyway

 

Wow that's low.

 

Capoue goes studs up to the knee and doesn’t even get a yellow

 

Ball was literally an inch from being completely over the line and then cleared.

 

Handball at the 2 minute mark uncalled. Capoue deserves a red and didn’t even get a yellow. Such shit.

We should still be better than fucking Watford though.

 

Spurs played exactly like we did last year. Awful. It took us two years to get to that level though

 

We may look like shit but I still won’t blame Jose at this point. We looked like shit before he arrived too. It’s a bad team right now. It’s going to take a full year for him to get things right, if he does. He could fail. Not putting that out of question. Just think it’s unfair to pin it on him right now.

 

What’s gotten into Southampton recently?

They’ve recently beaten Chelsea, Spurs, Leicester and are now up 2-0 at the half against Wolves.

 

Cook with an amazing save/stupid play against Norwich. Bournemouth are going to be relegated this season.

 

DCL for England at the Euros.

 

and he was subbed on at the 59th minute lol

 

United missing out on Haaland and now refusing to pay up for Bruno.

 

Sorry Southampton. I jinxed you.

 

Who knew finally winning the league would be so comfortable?

Mid-January and we've essentially wrapped it up.

 

Sporting changed the deal apparently. They want more now.

 

They did the same thing to Spurs in the summer. Player and club thought it was done and then Sporting changed their mind.

 

Newcastle are the luckiest team in the league. Relegation level performances with mid-table results.

 

That goal was massive for the CL race.

 

Chelsea need to buy either another striker or a creative player within the next few days or they will not be making top 4. Being able to break down stubborn defences like Newcastle today and turn 1-0 defeats into 1-0 wins will put them above United and Spurs come the end of the season, I'm sure of it. The run of fixtures they have coming up will ruin the season if the squad stays as it is.
