EPL Matchday 10 - On Optus Sport

[jod23]

It's weird the Haaland mania going on. It's like everyone is just realising that he's amazing even though he's been doing this already for years. I guess people in England dont really follow leagues outside of the PL.

 

[jod23]

An early goal would be really important as well.

Stop it bro haha

 

[moomba]

Stop it bro haha

Took us 155 minutes to score a league goal against them last season. And that was the only one we got. We've got Haaland now, but we didn't tend to have too much trouble scoring last season either.

It's the fact that he's transferred it over to the PL, unlike the man who is disproving the theory of evolution

Most than a dozen have been inside six yard box. Probably Palace and Hammers goal best and the reach on the Dortmund goal. Very efficient no doubt, been excellent value but goals more meat and potatoes than exquisite skill. Not that Pep would mind

much of it is his athleticism too, he's super quick for someone his size. he showed in the derby as well that he had started to come deep to get the ball if it was on too

Still have to score them and in comparison to the other big money striker he is

 

[jod23]

Doesnt matter where he scores them from. I remember RVN was an absolute machine, done think he ever scored from more than 2 yards out but they all count.

That's the point mate haha. You've got Haaland now. You will be up 4-0 by HT.

Um, what's the deal with Optus and its intrusive live table and scoreline around the grounds with its goal rush MOTD Coverage ? (Granted, been a while since I followed/watched a game with goal rush added on)

It's not an Optus thing.

Okay, will take your word for it.

 

[Magma]

cancelo is a very good footballer

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Good goal by Cancelo.

 

[SM]

Okay, will take your word for it.

? Optus don't actually produce this stuff mate.

 

[Frank Bunn]

* you Cancelo.

 

[Magma]

no surprise the goal comes from the left again, southampton have basically been non existent on the left

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Man I hope Southampton go down this season. Such an unambitious/time wasting club.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Beautiful header, and a deserved lead. We were all over them in that half.

? they have an extremely young squad and just spent like 65 mil on transfers 25 years and younger while getting rid of old players

 

[Rustin Cohle]

...not to mention they've had basically an entire PL quality XI with world class players pillaged by Liverpool and others over the years.

Not going to happen every week, although we really benefit from how conscious defences are of Haaland. They can double/triple team him but that leaves a lot of gaps for the likes of Foden, KDB, Mahrez etc.

Obviously the problem is their gaffer then. Watched them a few times this season and haven't really watched them play an entertaining brand of football at all.

 

[Magma]

machine man scores

 

[Bradesmaen]

What a s**t player only scoring one goal today
