Cult Football

How it started: "Int'l & domestic football (soccer): previews, reports, tactics, data, history, esoterica, beer (we drink the beer)"
How it's going: "COYG"

Nwaneri was always gonna play centrally. But you have to phase in a young player in such a physical league.

Start from the wings, learn to absorb contact from the sides. Season two, more conditioning, learn to absorb contact from all sides.

Arsenal having one of the most English teams in the big six is kind of crazy with the history of being associated with foreign talent.

Chelsea: 8 - 967 min
Arsenal: 8 - 805 min
Manchester City: 5 - 752 min
Manchester United: 5 - 496 min
Liverpool: 4 - 171 min
Tottenham: 3 - 373 min

Liverpool 1 (0.3)-(0.4) 0 Arsenal

It feels like this is going to have narrative overload and lots of second guessing but I don't think I have any of that here. Ran out a bit of energy at the end but on balance a bit better and I leave feeling positive about the team.

[Scott Willis 🏆 @scottjwillis]

Arsenal the cautious team had more final third passes, more touches in the box, more shots, higher xG. All with more injuries and being the away team. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[The xG Philosophy @xGPhilosophy]

61% of Liverpool’s xG this evening came from Ngumoha’s strike in the 110th minute

Newcastle (1.42) 2-3 (0.66) Liverpool

[The xG Philosophy @xGPhilosophy]

Liverpool created 0.00(xG) between the 46th and 100th minute against 10-man Newcastle.

Genuine question. What other myths about a player’s skillset in recent NBA history are on par with “Gobert can’t guard the perimeter” in terms of being widely held, frequently referred to, but also consistently, demonstrably, factually untrue?

In this match,the weakest was the field, because even the referee was good 😂🔥

[Skye Sports Premier League (fan) @dailyskyenews]

Barcelona vs Inter Milan went insane from top class performances from Lamine Yamal and Denzel Dumfries and this was how the world reacted.

Rewatching

Podcast later today.

That was top level football

With that in mind you have to look at this respecting the levels of both teams.

This was an absolute pleasure to see live despite some self induced pain.

At this level the garden doesn’t always smell of roses.

[Miguel Delaney @MiguelDelaney]

For 64 years, there were only six occasions when a team lost a first leg at home and went through

In the last six years, it's happened five times. PSG have been involved in three

[AK Arsenal | 974 @akarsenalnews]

This was the chance. The whole tie changes if Martinelli buries this on the stroke of half time.

Lewis-Skelly deserved an assist for this, man.

[Hoops @Hoopss]

Everytime I get mad at my sports team for losing, I remind myself of what Giannis said. Arguably my favorite response to a reporter ever.

Real Madrid - Unsporting behaviour

I'm impressed how we managed to keep our cool when Real Madrid turned out to be Spain's version of Newcastle and Rudiger basically had the license to kill. Jude didn't cover himself in glory either.

[AI @nonewthing]

I have never seen Saka outplayed by a winger on a big night.

Not Vini
