Today's football

Not seen a thread.

Leicester v Liverpool start the day....

We should have an ongoing ‘today’s football’ thread rather than a different one every day IMO.

I’m assuming as 50+mins have been played and there have been no posts that it’s been an uneventful game so far

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 1:46 pm

Nowt much to report in the early games, both very much 0-0, Bournemouth have made 4 changes from midweek, but Stanislas retains his place unsurprisingly.

There isn't actually that many games to discuss as the weather has wrecked havoc with the entire card.

I disagree an ongoing thread would become unwieldy, keep it too one each day, much easier to follow, especially if the date is in the title.

Zaha not in the squad for Crystal Palace today, Wood not in the squad for us either

Granny WeatherWax · Post by **Granny WeatherWax** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 1:51 pm

Barnes and Jay for us apparently.

Hope your wrong. Stephens got some stick on here for his performance against Bournemouth but Rodriguez was far worse. Other than Fulham away in the cup, I can't remember when he last had a half decent game

Maddison scores from free kick on edge of area, after VAR check for penalty

Ruled out for offside

Overruled by VAR so goal stands

Vardy makes it 2 with a complete balls up between Kavak & Allison leaves him with open goal

Jeffbfc · Post by **Jeffbfc** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:10 pm

Oh dear, WTF are they doing

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:10 pm

Hilarious

Jeffbfc · Post by **Jeffbfc** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:11 pm

Then pulls a save like that

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:12 pm

Allison with a great save onto post from Vardy

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:13 pm

3-1. Hilairballz

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:13 pm

Alisson's fault, Kabak had his eye on the ball. WTF was he doing going that far out of his area.

Jeffbfc · Post by **Jeffbfc** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:13 pm

Game over in 5 minutes what a turn around.

3rd by Barnes

Liverpool are collapsing

Such a shame for the bin dippers!

Petersa · Post by **Petersa** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:15 pm

I see FIFA's no 1 goalkeeper in the world is putting in a blinder. Again

Just seen Southgate is watching....he will be thinking that Pickford is better than this!!!!

Would be nice for later this aft.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:16 pm

They are shocking defensively, it's sad we needed a penalty to beat them.
Not that I'm complaining

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:19 pm

Liverpool were in complete control for about 75 minutes here then they've just completely collapsed.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:22 pm

Probably no surprise that aren't very good in defence when they've lost the words best defender to injury.

VVD would be a big miss for any side, but you defend as a team, and Liverpool are all over the place.

Totally agree VVD is the best CB Ive seen he has held the others together they are awful without him

Spurs have the most horrible kit. A nasty shade of green with pink edged collars. Yuk!

Nathan Collins stretchered off for Stoke today. May affect our summer plans if its a bad injury.

Aclaret · Post by **Aclaret** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 7:39 pm

City's 3rd goal, hoof ball from keeper to Gundogen....praised as great football....you just can't win.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 8:29 pm

We could do with Villa waking up, it's been all Brighton thus far. still 0-0 though.

Come on you Villains!

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 9:22 pm

Strange how Arsenal have had shite keepers for about 12 years yet the ones they let go to Villa and West Ham look really good.

Yep Martinez looks a bargain at £20m, and he's played a huge part in Villa's defensive improvement this season.

Same old story for Brighton, they've dominated but they can't find a finishing touch.

Strange how we played Brighton off the park 2nd half last week, and yet they're doing precisely the same to Villa this week.

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 9:36 pm

Someone has just commented on the BBC about the "late offside flag" apparently Grealish was blatantly offside and the flag stayed down ... play moved on and Matty Cash clattered a Brighton defender and the flag then went up....

What if Cash had injured said player and the lad was out for the season ... would Brighton have recourse to sue the PL for this stupid bloody ruling ... if a player is offside put the effing flag up only keep it down if you do not know ... thats what bloody VAR is for

Just what we did to both Villa and Brighton (and Palace for 90 minutes of course

)

Yes but apparently according to the experts on here we only play hoofball.
