I think he wanted it , Sam but I can imagine the pressure taking that pk in front of the Gwladys St end screaming orcs. Very difficult but he stepped up and gave it a go.
from what I've read the crowd were giving him shit non-stop, and his ex-teammates were clogging him non-stop, so between them they got the job of distracting the hell out of him done very nicely. apart from all that, I can't believe he's their best PK taker - either skills or mentality / experience. he's 23.
no comment ..... Manchester United are interested in appointing Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso to replace Erik ten Hag and are willing to wait until the summer for the former Liverpool midfielder.
a lot of the things 7Hag does are - erm - weird, but this team selection for today's Villa game is absolutely mind-boggling: - his recent comments have repeatedly called for patience to allow the young players to bed in ...... today's defence includes Maguire and Evans ....... today's midfield includes Eriksen he's spent a ton of money bringing in players he's worked with before (and presumably trusts) ..... De Ligt, Lindelof, Martinez, Casemiro, Ugarte, Zirkzee - none start today maybe he really does want to get fired.
It's his last game. As he said when he got here "all eras must come to an end". baffled that he lucked into 2 trophies. its actually great they persisted with him in the summer and this season. Maybe they think they will do what we did and get a brilliant manager in this international break. problem is that there is no Klopp out there for them.* *yes yes I realize Klopp is out there lol.
Refs give Chelsea an extra man advantage for 40 minutes +13 minutes of injury time. Forest almost wins twice in injury time.
MU in 14th place. great that they got a point today - continues the never-ending and constantly-increasing ambiguity swirling around them re "keep him or fire him".
The wow was in reference to being a man down a long stretch during the second half. their goalkeeper was standing on top of his head. and they still had a couple of chances to win late in the game.
2 Chelsea defenders will be suspended (yellow cards) for our game vs them. Fofana Banana and Cucu(starve the barber)rella.
WTH, Spurs? I leave the room at halftime to walk the dogs, and I come back into my family room only to see BHA score their third goal
Robbie Earl just mentioned being "spursy" on the post game wrap up. It's almost a self fulfilling prophecy at this point.
