Leicester than zero? - Premier League 2018/19

[hobbes]

No he fucking didn't.

<ahem>

"I thought there were some excellent tackles in the game, and if the suggestion now is that you cannot make those tackles any more then I am happy to be old-fashioned...

“I notice he [Klopp] did not make any reference to Daniel Sturridge cheating. When he went down to win a free-kick there was no one near him, he never got touched.”

[hobbes]

You do know the injury was caused by Gomez hitting the hoarding, yes?

Not convinced about that. He looked like was barely moving when he hit the hoarding. It looked more like Mee unnecessarily scissoring his leg after playing the ball caused the fracture. Could be wrong of course.

[Snake Plissken]

<ahem>

"<ahem>" all you like, where is the bit where he is saying "that there's nothing wrong with leg breakers"?

[hobbes]

Come on snakey, I was paraphrasing.

[Gerontophile]

Liverpool 1 up. Because Bournemouth are too pretty to go at them.

[Toby Gymshorts]

2-0, great work by Firmino and Salah.

[Ray de Galles]

I’m sure Sean Dyche will applaud Salah staying on his feet when clipped from behind and going on to score.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Indubitably.

[hobbes]

I’m sure Sean Dyche will applaud Salah staying on his feet when he had studs raked down his achiles from behind and going on to score./fixed

[Jah Womble]

Salah looks closer to his very best today.

First goal was offside, however.

[Ray de Galles]

Actually, after seeing the further replays, “clipped” doesn’t do it justice. The defender raked his studs down Salah’s calf. Given the ref saw it and signalled advantage was being played, did he book the Bournemouth player afterwards?

Edit : cross-post with Hobbes.

[hobbes]

It was. Only just, so you can understand the lino missing it.

[hobbes]

Yeah, it wasn't nice, was it Ray?
Still looks like Salah (accidentally?) got him back when he slipped near the by-line and toe poked Cook in the ankle.

[Toby Gymshorts]

3-0, the hapless Cook (who tried to bring Salah down in the build-up to the second) with the best backheel he'll ever pull.

[Jah Womble]

Salah teases and teases - and bags his third.

[Toby Gymshorts]

This is turning into a bit of a dry bumming. Salah beating Begovic twice before poking the ball past Ake for 4.

[Toby Gymshorts]

TLMG thinks that Mo Salah has very pretty eyes.

Hard to argue with her, really.

[Snake Plissken]

I’m sure Sean Dyche will applaud Salah staying on his feet when he had studs raked down his achiles from behind and going on to score./fixed

Oh do fuck off with this shit. Even your own manager yesterday admitted it was a clean tackle.

[hobbes]

I was correcting Ray's post from 13:38. Ye gods man, get a grip.

[Snake Plissken]

Why bring Dyche into it then?

Speaking of his team, just a third win this season. You would have got long odds on the reason for an almost year long malaise being the absence of Robbie Brady.

[hobbes]

I didn't bring Dyche into it. I was quoting Ray. I mean, it's right there in his 13:38 post.

[ad hoc]

Nah I think honestly Hobbes it's you who's being a bit obsessed with this thing in midweek. And I say this as a friend.

[hobbes]

I know there's a tendency for people to skim read these threads, but really. If that's what you get from me quoting someone else's post to highlight a completely different bit, then I don't really know what to say. I'm obsessing over something by not mentioning it since it happened? If you say so.

[ursus arctos]

Hell of a pass from Hazard.

1-0 Chelsea.

[hobbes]

The commentator commented that city were defending on the half way line and that Chelsea should try a ball over the top.
As he said it, they did and it ended up with a goal.
