[its a Barm]

that pitch is a piss take you could see the players tippy toeing about trying not to slip, rules have to change on that.

Three wins out of three. The Viking still not quite on it, but definitely revving up. Julián in blistering form at present. No injuries.
What's not to like?

He's the new Edghill.

He's definitely not. Edgehill had to take shit every game at one stage from fans in the ground. Big difference from some slating Nunes on a football forum.

Watch Doku's effort first half and then tell me the watered pitch had no affect. You really need to try it yourself. You'll realize how different it is. I thought the players handled the pitch brilliantly.

I have no doubt the pitch was the issue in that instance and it clearly made a difference to City's performance. I think a number of errors made were a consequence of the pitch, even if it was just unfamiliarity with it.

Such pitches should be outlawed at the top level of the game.

Maybe not to the extent Richard was (that was horrendous) but, like Richard, Matheus is being targeted by a section of our fans. Difference being, as you said, it's online rather than at the ground. I wonder what the level of abuse Edghill got would have been like if BM was around in his day?

Mental pitch conditions, but a very good performance.

100% would of had some more goals if it was a normal pitch.

Anyone see Haaland & Nunes discussing the burns/marks on their legs and arms?

The camera panned to the bench just after Haaland had been subbed

 

[trevorriley]

ridiculous pitch, rain on plastic !

You could see haaland take is pen and just hit it hard as possible at the goal, had he tried to place it he would have slipped. When he did score the rain had stopped.

ankle injuries happen on this sort of pitch, get a grip uefa.

good referee, why cant the prem give us this confidence in a game.

I dread to think but i think you mods wold be giving out thread bans because the abuse Edghill got was hateful, no wonder he had no confidence. At least Nunes or any other player getting slated on here will(probably )never read it.

I really felt bad for Edghill at the time. Yes; he was a limited footballer, no use pretending otherwise. He was no Maradona or Platini. But he always tried his best. That's all we can ask of any player, surely. Rather that than someone blessed with talent who strolls around the pitch not really giving a fuck. Fowler and McManaman spring to mind straight away (though there's quite a few more).

More or less the same as Phillips gets on his player profile. He has hardly stood a chance.
