Good result for a game we shouldn’t have won

 

Awesome, did you see a game at Ewood or was it an away game?

Yeah been a fan since I was a kid (and Blackburn were actually good). I don’t live anywhere near there but I’ve stuck with them. I’ve seen them a few times through the years but only been up to Ewood once.

It’s been a hard few seasons supporting them but they’ve finally started to get a good team together and hopefully we’ll get back up to the Championship this season.

 

Was going to go to this Rapids-TFC game but it's like 10 degrees outside, there's snow on the ground, and it's probably going to be the worst display of professional soccer all year.

So fuck it. Staying inside. Apparently there were only like 1500 tickets distributed.

 

Mousa Dembele a unique genius and irreplaceable for Tottenham

 

Foul throw! I honestly don't know how Valencia still hasn't learned how to take a throw in.

 

Valencia having a disastrous opening 10 minutes.

 

Herrera injured. Hamstring.

 

This ref is giving free kicks for every little thing. The game hasn't even started yet. It's stopping every two seconds.

 

High studs up challenge in mid air there. Could arguably be a red? Or was the "eyes on the ball" argument what made it just a yellow?

 

Nani got red for less.

 

That's what I was thinking, I've seen them given for less. I know there was no intent, but careless from the player. Just thought it strange the commentators shrugged it off completely.

 

For once Lukaku is winning absolutely everything up front and we have no one following up.

 

ManU got Sanchez, Pogba and Lukaku and still struggle to play attacking football. Mou needs to go.

 

My GOD the amount of fouls by Sevilla.

 

Nah.

 

I mean, he gets results, by playing the most boring football possible.

 

Results business though, isn't it?

 

I'd take 38 1-0 wins than 19 4-3 and 19 3-4's.

 

Fair enough. Me just thinks that with this squad they should be controlling matches far more often than they do.

I'm a United fan so not hating or anything.

 

The amount of silly little fouls Sevilla have been commuting and Sanchez gets the first yellow of the game.

Figures.

 

No flow to this game at all. We can't string simple passes together.

 

The ball going to either of our fullbacks scares the piss out of me.

 

Probably could. We need better centre backs who can play the ball. Actual full backs would help too.

 

How Shaw didn't start this game is beyond me.

 

Lovely touch McTominay. Hilarious dive. Of course the ref bought it.
