    Senegal v Guinea decent so far. I've seen some actual pressing and some actual attacking intent - all in the opening 10 minutes.

    Mané has really fallen off a cliff the last year or so. He looks like his boots are made of lead.

    He looks like he's thinking about what to do every time now, whereas before it was natural.

    He's always been one of those players where time to think is not a positive, although I think he's often been like that for Senegal where he obviously carries a bigger burden of expectation.

    The commentator on the second Morocco goal, so sure of himself when it looked (and ended up being) onside.

    Yeah I wanted it to be offside but it was clear as day.

    Ben Boina didn't deserve it.

    To be the best you gotta copy the best. So funny/pathetic that a Granit Xhaka red card and Saka having the shits is getting a game postponed.

    You probably need to at least fake some covid tests to pull that, otherwise the league will probably just say lol you had more cases in August so get on with it.

    Martin Odegaard has been kissing everyone to celebrate the 0-0 draw.

    Good old VAR, 100% wrong with both decisions. Never a penalty [bit of the old Ronaldo burrowing there] and then I don't see how it is a foul by Maupay just because the 'keeper has two hands on the ball. His momentum takes him into Maupay [who is trying to pull out], the game doesn't stop just because two hands are on the ball.

    You can’t hit the ball out the keepers hand. He clearly has two on it, not his fault Maupay knees it out.

    Aye, but the contact is because they are coming together. Maupay pulls his leg/knee back if anything. I know 'keepers are superprotected, but getting two hands on the ball [whilst in the air] doesn't stop the game and if they lose it subsequently I don't see why it is automatically a foul. Really not the same as having the ball kicked out of your hands but whatever.

    Was it Schmeichel who had the ball with one hand on top, while it was on the ground? That was deemed in the keepers control, so if it ever was in his two hands you've no chance on that one.

    So Benjamin Tetteh came on in the 91st minute at the full time whistle he punched a Gabon player then ran down the tunnel.

    The ref then waited on the pitch demanding that he come out but he would not so ended up holding his red card up and shouting "for number 25" a couple of times.

    Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang missed Gabon's Africa Cup of Nations draw with Ghana on Friday after scans revealed 'heart lesions' following a bout of Covid.

    We really need to get a left back in, even a shit one on loan.

    Worst pass of the season there from Ziyech.

    Grealish and Foden have a weirdly massive seethe on in this game. We've done a good job given that one of our centre backs is on work experience and our left back is on a yellow card and cannot defend at all.

    Kennedy was recalled

    I don’t think they want anyone other than Emerson back as they’ll have 5 or 6 left backs on the book come summer.

    Play the kid from the academy then. I just can't watch this cretin every week. Right down to Kepa's goal kicks aiming for his head and sailing out of play, like we're Egil Olsen's Norway.

    At least Kepa has turned into prime Yashin ever since Tuchel came in. He’s brilliant every time he plays these days

    I don't know when this happened or if his bumbling style just speaks to me, but I learn more about the game from Glenn Hoddle's co-comms than just about any other source.

    That was good stuff from Chelsea. Lukaku starved thanks to attempting to rely on shite like Ziyech, Pulisic, CHO and Werner to create but defensively very sound. Klopp to train attacking moves and Tuchel to train defensive shape would be some scenes.

    It will come back to bite them later on. Managers are just so short-termist and always desperate for rest right now. Totally transparent what they, Liverpool and other clubs have been up to.
