so are the EPLtards. but PSG atleast has a decent tactical level due to so many of their players coming from Serie A
They but even a shitty Man Shitty side eliminated them last season (disgraceful performance). They have a high quality of players but the players give no shits and have no passion for the club. Actually the only rich out of nowhere club iv seen with players who actually love the club is Chelsea when they had the likes of Drogba, Lampard, Terry etc.

It wasn't a particularly good game. They tried to talk it up as a clash of the coaches and carried it on from there, but really it was nicking a couple of goals and then playing counter attack. Even this version of Mourinho can still do that, it's not brilliant but works.

Rashford had a good game because he was direct and worked hard. I still think he's just another Walcott; fast and good dribbling, maybe even has inferior technique than Walcott, some of his passes are crap.

I don't know what Pogba even does in half of the games. He plays some nice diagonal passes and little dribbles here and there, he's a passenger too much. Shame, he would have been good in this Allegri team....
:agree:

Still you can't really blame him for trying that shot...
No, have you played football before? :D
Of course it's hard if you take the shot directly, he was covered and far from the goal. But the only moment it's acceptable to not pass to a teammate that is in better position is if you succeed to get it in. Otherwise you take the blame.

I'm pretty sure everyone he could have passed to was offside on the play.
I'm curious now... because no one was ahead of the last defender, and he was ahead of the other defenders.

If you have a 2 vs 1 with the keeper are you not allowed to pass the ball? Assuming you are both clear of everyone else on the pitch...

Or are you only allowed to pass if the second player is behind you?

just pass the ball fam

IIRC if the goalie is out of the picture and a defender is the last player the attacking player can only pass it to a guy who is behind the ball - as I said earlier he should played to the right. Player to his right is accelerating, too. Could have easily run it in

:tup:

So both guys open to the right were onside until after he had taken his shot. :lol2:

Exactly, this.

For a second the defender didn't know where his goal was, because he covered absolutely nothing on his right side.

Yeah, that's why I say this. I'm not saying it is very hard either, but shooting from 40 yards out while running with a ball with a defender in front of you is not as easy as it seems. I assume you are Danish (based on the Curb rip-off username) so you would know ;)
IMO it's a free goal, because of the time he has to shoot, defenders behind him was 1-2 seconds behind. Thats alot to take a shot, he should have curled it in with a inside foot shot. If he was pressured from behind then it definitely wouldn't be easy. But he has alot of time to take the shot
