People forgot how valuable Zubimendi was before he lost form. I’ll never turn on him no matter what
Playing 60 games in a season was a real problem for him
Absolutely Machiavellian from big Florentino. Wants a late election boost, speaks to his Atletico counterpart, works it all out. Offers €150m for Alvarez, always knowing it would be rejected, and in the process screws Barcelona efforts to get him for less. 10/10. No notes.
@VilhelmNotFake Okej ser väl inte mbappe alvarez dembele som ”nior” men självklart är mbappe och dembele bättre. Håller kanske inte Lautaro och Lewandowski högre. Men ja även om så låter du diskursen ofta som att han är värdelös.
Alltid varit en världsklass anfallare när han har varit tillgänglig. Det är inte för inte som City, Real, Bayern och Arsenal ville köpa honom från Chelsea. Hoppas gemene man kan förstå det snart.
@hugo_bhc@PLSvearike@VilhelmNotFake Håller med, inte lätt när man har göken på anfall och mängder av skador. Men även med full trupp ut med göken och in med en bättre vänsterytter
@VilhelmNotFake Världsklass är såklart ett stort begrepp men om man kollar på nior i världen så finns det inte många som är garanterat bättre än honom. Kane, Halland, Isak (kanske) finns det fler?
@mansherrmann Okej vad är det som dig att undra kring mentaliteten? Håller med om att han inte är världens snabbaste och ja i en perfekt värld skulle han varit längre
Endrick är ett bra test för att se om en person kan något om scouting och framtida spelare. Tror man något annat att han kommer bli en världsspelare så kan man lätt undvika dennes åsikter om fotbollspelare.
Gyokeres 11 non-penalty goals from 10 xG for Arsenal in 2400 minutes in the league.
1 xG per 240 minutes of football.
Our coronation season almost turned into a near disaster.
Dudes pretending our season wasn’t about to totally collapse until Kai Havertz made a timely return from injury.
Now, they are acting proud of 11 NPGs for a T3 team on the planet.
An explanation for dummies as to why the Madueke incident was not a 50/50, not a Madueke foul, but a clear penalty, plain and simple
Before you look at the pics, the premise here is that Madueke's already whizzed past Mendes who is now trying to recover after a lost 1v1
Pic 1 - Clearer in the video I've attached in the first comment. But here is where the 1st contact happens. Mendes, because he is struggling to recover, accidentally shives his right knee into the back of Noni's left leg. This causes both players to lose balance
Pic 2 - Loss of balance caused by Mendes leads to Madueke's COG to shift, he's bent way more than he's supposed to which makes his left ankle brush against/into the ground
No player ever in the history of trying to win a penalty has ever done this. The only thing this causes is more imbalance. This is a direct result of Mendes shoving Madueke from behind. You can also see the continued contact from Mendes' knee on Madueke's leg here
But Madueke is still not going to the ground here. If he was trying to "buy" a penalty, this would be the perfect opportunity for him to fall to the ground and a penalty shout would still be valid but not a clear cut decision
Pic 3 - Mendes has completely lost the duel and his balance. There is no way for him to get to the ball. He is pushing on an imbalanced Madueke from the back while he's about to fall down. Their hands are tangled with each other. Another physical contact which was initiated by Mendes trying to get between Noni and the ball. You can look at that in the video attached below as well
The most important bit to notice here is that Madueke is still upright in this picture. If he was the one who "pulled" Mendes with him to the ground, he'd be the one falling first. But it was clearly Mendes as seen here
Pic 4 - Both players on the ground as a consequence of everything that I've explained before. A clear and a stonewall penalty at any level of the sport. Mendes lost the duel, then he messed up while trying to recover
Referees and VAR both make mistakes, but this one decided a CL final. Arsenal fans and neutrals who can tell right from wrong, dont let anyone gaslight you into thinking this was a 50/50. Arsenal were robbed in broad daylight and there's nothing wrong speaking up about it
Damn. Didn’t notice the contact to his left leg. That’s A LOT of (too much) force to absorb and perform the next action.
Everybody on the TL me included would spin 360 and wake up on a hospital bed.
