This hand to ball / ball to hand bollocks has gone on way too long. I'd prefer that to ball to hand being acceptable for defenders but not for an attacking team. That's just fucking illogical. I personally think the law should be as simple as if the hand or arm makes a movement to contact the ball it's handball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon’s right, all handballs should be penalised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Murtz Posted August 11, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 11, 2019 Chelsea were pretty good in the first half but just fell apart in the second. Some superb counter attack goals killed them off. Mourinho was quite good at punditry I thought.. once you get used to the monotone voice. It was quite funny seeing him next to Souness who spent most of last year criticising him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 11, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 11, 2019 United do have a much better base to now play a counter-attacking game. IÂ have my major doubts about Maguire but if he does well, then that back four is a much more reliable base to soak up pressure. Trying to do that with losers like Jones, Smalling and Young is suicidal. But that lack of a killer holding midfielder is going to really damage United at some point this season and it was utter stupidity to not hold on to Herrera or get him replaced.

Mr_Danger Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I'm all for the 'every hand ball is penalized' rule. Imagine the spectacle when Luis Suarez is through on goal, stops and turns around then belts it at the chasing defenders arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTH17 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 What a moment for Daniel James that goal was. Couldn't help but smile at seeing how much it meant to him when he scored. Seems like a great lad as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCW Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Bloody Jamie Carragher overload on Sky this weekend. Out on the pitch at the awkward standing desk, in the studio messing about with the touchscreen shite, interviewing players with his giant microphone and then doing commentary as well. Sick of the chap already. Edited August 11, 2019 by DCW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Three goals disallowed for the mighty Sky Blues of St Andrews, three. Â Fair fucks to the Bolton youngsters but two of them were certain goals. Â I reckon they were gifted that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have three of the most exciting young forward talents in Europe in Brooks, Wilson and James and its greqt to see them playing PL football. At the same team in the case of Brooks and Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame Woodburn stalled a bit the prior year, through a combination of injuries and a lack of playing time. With us losing Sturridge I could've easily seen him slot into the 3rd choice spot we seem to have given to Brewster if he'd had a good year at Sheffield United. Hopefully he gets a good season in at Oxford this year. Edited August 11, 2019 by AdamTH17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted August 11, 2019 Author Moderators Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) I don't think Woodburn will make it. If he spent less time in the bars of Wrexham the past few seasosn he might have had a better chance but he seems to have regressed over the past two seasons since he exploded on the scene for Wales and to a lesser extent Liverpool - he couldn't get a look in at the blades last season. Apparently Klopp likes him but friends inform me he wasn't fit this pre season (take from that what you will) . Sounds like last chance corral for me. Mind you at least Klopp didn't outright try and sell him like he did with Wilson and Wilson is the better prospect if you ask me and Woodburn finished 2nd in Golden Boy voting again so maybe or probably coaches know sonething I dont. Hopefully him being in Oxford away from around here will do him good. Edited August 11, 2019 by PowerButchi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you at least Klopp didn't putright try and sell him likehe did with Wilson and Wilson ia the better prospect if you ask me. Yeah, he's certainly 4th choice behind Brewster at the minute, who Klopp is really high on. He's dropped down another level down to League One now, so it might very well be make or break. If he stays fit, he's only got himself to blame if he can't make a difference at that level if he wants to get a look in next year. Still only 19, so won't write him off just yet. And yeah, Wilson is a weird one. I was sure he'd be staying over this summer based on his form for Derby last season, I thought that alone would be enough to merit his inclusion in our squad, and it's even stranger considering how short we are of options out wide. Besides Salah and Mane, we don't really have a proper out and out winger unless we shove Origi/Shaqiri out there, which is where you'd presume he'd slot in. We were open to selling him according to some reports, which I hope isn't true. Deserves a run of games in our first team at the very least.
