Don’t understand all the people saying ‘they need to stop the full backs playing’ but the whole point is that if you try that then they play through the middle where they definitely will destroy you. You can’t cut off both well so you have to concentrate on shutting down one avenue and defending what’s created by the other.

Had no idea The Big Show was a blade.
The way Sky Sports gets around the ad time limits is so funny. Cut back from ads to show Firmino do a random flick and then we're back off to an ad.
We'll be hearing about that one...
Are they actually going to start punishing this?
Braindead defending from Sideshow.
Luiz sent to the shops for some sweets and a milkshake there, that's properly good from Salah.
Salah.
Looks more like Dave Mastiff to me.Originally Posted by niko_cee
Arsenal do love to pass out the back regardless of the scoreline.
Bale and James have both playing from the start for Madrid is something i didnt think we would see ever again.
That really was a David Luiz special.
That'll do.
Kind of stopped playing after 70 mins but we'd earned the right to really. Salahs run and goal was top drawer stuff.
I thought the no replays thing was decided? Football fans are a rough lot, etc.
Andone probably had a red coming, he may be that kind of player. I think it was vs Chelsea last season, when he came on as a sub and immediately clattered into David Luiz(?), totally unprovoked and his first action in the game.

Enjoyed the Liv-Arse game very much. The first half was intriguing as games often are when there's differing formations and spaces to exploit; then second half Liverpool were quality.
Salah's only 27. Maybe still has a chance at becoming the best player in the world.
Replays are at every ground except Anfield and Old Trafford, as they don't have big screens.
We also have nowhere to put one either.
I think I read they've agreed that replays will not be shown until after a decision has been made, hence why you get nothing but the 'Under review' screen. Supposedly to stop the home fans adding pressure to the referee.
Replays will only be shown after a decision has been overturned.
Or Brighton, but they do have big screens.
There isn't even an under review screen.
Although there was an advert about VAR in the program today. Was the Brighton goal ruled out for offside or for a foul on the 'keeper? No one had any idea what was happening or what the ref (who was fucking useless) had actually ruled on the field.
The seething at blatantly correct decisions going against you on the big screen is one of the few reasons to actually attend rugby matches. They should definitely show the decision in real-time at the football.
Cant afford big size tv's, thats why.
A Limerick player got sent off vs Sligo earlier for elbowing a steward in the head. Ex Sligo player and all, classy.
That shitshow was something to do with Sligo was it?
What a strike by Barnes.
Hang on, Man U lost at home to Crystal Palace? lol
Abraham scoring twice was a nice surprise, if he and Mount prove to be actually good and then Hudson-Odoi comes back then we will finally have got somewhere with the academy.
Jesus just seen the Palace goals on the news. De Gea
We weren't great, but good enough to win. The refereeing was appalling.
That could have been red. What a nutter Ederson is.
Waist high, studs showing, completely cleaned him out, nowhere near the ball.
Never mind could, it should have been a red.
Maybe it's the sun on the grade 1 hairdos as Walker's been massively rash as well.
What a free kick that is. Best I've seen in ages.
I continue to question why he was allowed to go out on loan.
Be real. He isnt getting in over the front three of Liverpool. He would be just used as a sub. At least at Bournemouth, he should get more perceived game time
We also have about 70 games to play this season. He'd have seen some time.
You’re better off having him potentially taking points off rivals than pissing about in easy champions league group games and the league cup.
Was quite surprised that Silva penalty claim wasn't awarded on VAR. What has to happen for an onfield decision to be overturned in that regard? Seems an almost impossibly high bar.
A clear and obvious error is needed.
If he's had a clear view of it and deemed the contact not enough there's nothing VAR can do.
The reads as if a 'wrong' decision to not award a penalty would only be overtured if the ref hasn't seen it, rather than just having made an error in terms of determining the extent of any contact.
Spurs will probably end up winning this but they've been absolutely shite in all of their games this season.
Wolves were poor in the first half. Barners scored a screamer to put Burnley 1-0 up. Burnley have looked threatening every time the ball goes long
Why does your manager refuse to play Vallejo when he's much better than Bennett?
This football is straight out of the AVB era
Did you see the game in Torino? Vallejo had an awful game. He played on the right side of the three and continued to let the ball run across his body and then boot it out for a throw, lose it or give away a free-kick. Stick with our Ryan for now lad.
Get Adama on now
I didn't have the 350 Euros required.
That's a clear penalty.
They're clearly trying to side with the ref which is shit.
Errr that’s a pen. Joel Wilson in at Stockley Park
Obviously a pen. I bet Mike Dean bullied the VAR guys into not contradicting him on that
Kane's finishing has been awful for some time now, and commentators always act surprised when he misses a clear chance
Burnley were excellent. Wolves got a var penalty which I don't think it was. 1-1
Looking at the reply, I can't see how you can give a penalty for that in the 95th minute.
3 games in and 3 draws for Wolves.
Okay, wasn't expecting our first win today. Grind a few more of those out, lads. That said, I'm not used to the bottom of the league having just the one side without 3 points. One win off third.
EDIT: Watford next. Ah.
