Looked like Werner was celebrating before he even kicked it.

Bernard Lama, Pegguy Arphexad, David James . . .
Dida.
Thomas Nkono, Jacques Songo'o probably the best two from sub-Saharan Africa.
Typically football as played in the region (as opposed to as played by the diaspora in Europe, which now dominates the national teams) has a far greater emphasis on individual expression than European football does. This does, shall we say, manifest itself in the realm of goalkeeping sometimes. For every flapping shite there is a legend like Boubacar Barry who gives us entertainment.

If I'm accepting Tim Howard, I'm also accepting everyone bar Adam Bogdan for the first 3 weeks of the season after summer break.
Someone hasn’t bought a black goalkeeper have they?
Chelsea.
Anyone’s better than Kepa though.
Well, except maybe Pickford, Karius and Joe Hart.

I'm giving us 12/1 odds at this shootout. Tammy to moo it into the Seven Sisters Road.
Mendy allergic to the other side?
Frankie's boy to miss.
Mount taking the fifth penalty
Lampard’s eventual downfall, alongside not having a clue coaching a team defensively, is shoehorning him into every starting eleven
I hope you're a betting man, Jim.
Mendy fell over the wrong side all five of those penalties. It was like being in on one of those crisp January evenings with the Cup of Nations on Eurosport and shepherd's pie in the oven.
Even penalty shoot-outs have become drab.
Theinly triangle of destiny I want to talk about is the one involving Mount, Abraham and Hudson-Odoi destined for the Championship once they find their level.
Spurs with a revitalised Ndombele alongside Hojberg and Reguilon and Doherty on the wings look the real deal.
The one problem I have with Mount is that there appears to be a slight lack of genitalia from him at the key moments. Penalty is one example, but a better one is when he should have put Werner in and decided to pass it to Alderweireld instead. It also comes through in his general finishing. He can technically do it, he just bottles it a lot.
Mason Cleverley.
Just seen footage of Frankie boy giving it to Jose. Jesus lad, wind your neck in you classless cunt, you're a fucking intern.
Did Werner not take a penalty? That's a bit poor.
He had cramp apparently
He looked fucked in the last 20 minutes.
I've taken to watching these lockdown games with the sound off (as the sound is bullshit) and without Alan Smith or whoever babbling crap at you, you do pick up a lot more stuff while watching the game. The difference between Kanté and Kovacic after the former came on was obscene. Shame Emerson is a complete goit really or we'd have won.

Losing to that Spurs team should be grounds for sacking alone.
Getting knocked out of this cup early doors is a great result. Shit competition, waste of time.
As a fan I want us to win every trophy, but in this particular season, not having the extra games won't hurt too much. Especially when we have championschleague coming up (for some reason I can no longer say that name of that competition except in the Dutch Steve McClaren way).
On the other hand, a cup run's all my shit side can hope for.
These two rounds are the worst for the fixture pile-up, so binning it off for the quarters is a bit pointless. Not that either side did that last night, thought both showed the competition a surprising level of respect, particularly considering Spurs having a game tomorrow. Guess both managers (rightly) understand the importance of winning a trophy and this is one of the few they can realistically aim for.
Both teams 100% wanted to win. Our side wasn't far off full strength really (if we even know what that is). It's just that there's a greater upside to losing than there would have been in a normal season.
Think the league cup is getting ready respect this year purely because of the quarantine rules. It’s harder for players not training with the first team to be involved so you won’t see many youngsters or fringe players.
Jahanbaksh making Utd cry
Everton, West Ham and City all taking it more seriously.
Start for Molumby. Forza app has us 4-2-3-1 but think we'll be 3-5-2 or 3-4-3.
Think this is the sort of game which Mata will enjoy. Probably not going to be super end to end, high tempo stuff, and if United just give the ball to Mata he could outclass our (mostly) second string.
Pep's obsession with this competition is inexplicable.
I bet he gets a proper hard-on for being able to say how many total trophies he's won.
DCL is what Rashford was meant to be
Just finished work to see the Newcastle result. Sheesh. Still, it's our first quarter final in the competition since .... Keegan?
Nice of Brighton not to bother defending that.
Atalanta are tearing shit up again.
What a save that is from Henderson.
Richarlison and Allan injured? It's gonna be a record margin at the top.
Always makes me lol when commentators say a deflection takes "nothing away from a strike" like that, which was going about 8 miles wide.
It's an impressive CV but making something out of that giraffe will be Carlo's magnus opus.
Giggles, we play them soon but I intentionally left it open because they are getting top four.
Liverpool, Atletico, Atalanta and Monchengladbach pls
Porto to get the easiest group in history again
I would have thought you'd want those [other] teams to do well.
Definitely fancy a bit of 'Atleti' from Pot 2. There's going to be some horrifically shit group involving Shakhtar/Ajax and the dregs of pots 3 and 4.
Just noticed Sevilla chilling in pot 1 with Barcelona in pot 2. Europa League really is quite important these days.
Luckily sneaking into pot 2 will mean we avoid most of the sides who can/will eviscerate us. Even if we do get Brian Munich again that would stop us getting Leipzig as well.
Ferencvaros mugged off both Celtic and Dinamo Zagreb to get there.
