Brentford took a total of 9 minutes 18 seconds to take their 10 throw-ins. An average of 55.8 seconds per throw-in. For reference, a goalkeeper can only take 8 seconds holding the ball to reduce time-wasting.
Is this becoming an issue? Should there be more strict rules on this?
diogo dalot is one of those footballers when you watch a small clip of him you will think he’s terrible but when you watch him for a full 90, you’re absolutely right
🚨 Rúben Amorim: “My message to fans: I will do everything”.
“Always thinking about what is best for the club. Until I'm here, I'll do my best. The rest is not my decision. I'm suffering more than the fans”.
@cameron_grayyy Love Amorim’s character and the way he’s quickly got rid of some bad characters but fuck me his system is a crime to any top footballing side! Can’t help but feel we definitely have the players to play well in a 433 or 4231 these days but this 3421 is tragic
The irony of a City fan talking about spending is wild when Sir Alex broke the transfer record three times, while Pep is the greatest chequebook manager ever & isn't some underdog story - he's a born front runner.
No team besides Celtic or Rangers have won the title in Scotland since Sir Alex's Aberdeen did it 40 years ago & they won 3 titles in 6 seasons. When Pep does the equivalent of winning a European trophy with a Scottish club, please come talk to me.
Sir Alex built Manchester United from the ground up into a gargantuan super club, rebuilt them time & again & they are still far bigger than City more than a decade after his retirement & he didn't have to participate in the biggest cheating scandal in football history to do it.
English clubs didn't have the financial power then that they have now, Spain & Italy were packed with talent & attracted players England couldn't, Manchester United won the Treble with a side stacked with Academy kids, not one of the most expensive sides ever assembled.
Forgive me if I don't take the opinion of someone who outrage baits with statements like this seriously & was in primary school when Sir Alex retired. Wearing kits from an era you didn't experience doesn't mean you can speak on them with any authority. Be quiet.
Just imagine if United had spent a British record fee for Wirtz 😳
Wouldn't hear the end of it from the media, they would be running shows 24/7 about how rubbish he's been.
