Match of the Day

[pauls]

I get one word in three from the granny shagger - yep there are subtitles but can see how he failed in management - I mean imagine being a Catalan where Spanish is your second language you learn to speak English then scouse Shrek comes in the room and starts mumbling shite - how can you follow that?

You can clearly see how he was dreadful at Birmingham and Plymouth.The former are only just recovering whilst the latter are bottom of League 1 after relegation last season.
If any Chairman ever takes this clown on again they deserve all they get.

I thought their report on the game and Danny Murphy's subsequent article on the BBC It can't go on. How Liverpool's tactics helped Doku run riot was OK but my take was different.

Their observation was probably the same as everyone else, 'Doku tore Liverpool apart', but Danny Murphy describes a tactical explanation. I would say that Doku had the beating of Bradley and that Bradley is a weak full back. He picked up his 8th booking of the season for Liverpool and Northern Ireland against us. That tells me that he's been struggling all season. As we saw with Vinicius Junior in midweek, he tries to stop wingers by physically crunching them. It worked vs Vinicius because he was isolated but typically you need more than physicality to defend. And he gets no help from Van Dijk and Konate who are both struggling.

Ha, mics accidentally left on there! Were they slagging off Sturridge?

I think it was the fact that Rooney called Danny Murphy "Daniel" during the summary of our game, and as Rooney has worked on Sky probably with Sturridge he got used to saying Daniel rather than Danny so think they were just taking the piss that Danny Murphy was called by his full first name which presumably doesn't happy very often!

If they weren't then they should have been.

Watched the City highlights… could have sworn we’d battered them , but apparently not.
Listened to Murphy analysis - fine ish.
Tried to listen to Rooney analysis - not fine, could understand a word in 3 at most, and most of those were ‘urm’.
Turned off.

The match (ours and all the others) highlights on bbc website far better.

And the OS long highlights even better.

The scouse accent is horrendous. And when the person (sorry, "peeeeeerson") speaking isn't the most eloquent, it's a recipe for disaster. I watch the Sky Sports 3 minute highlights of every PL game on YouTube. They're generally up within an hour of the final whistle. With no mind numbing punditry.

Some accents are impenetrable. Many years ago I worked with someone from Leigh, I swear I never understood one word of his, I just nodded.

I could, like many contributors in this thread, rant on about Sunday night's 'MOTD' with regard to the observations made by Messrs. Murphy and Rooney on the penalty and the offside goal decisions (both absolutely correct, despite what those two wazzocks in the studio offered up as 'opinion/analysis'..)

However, my rant here instead concentrates on the overall editorialising of the programme, which enabled said wazzocks to take up and waste time on their useless (and as I say, incorrect) ramblings at the expense of showing more of the action from yesterday's game.

The greatest omission from the highlights shown was the passage of play that led up to Haaland's opener. Liverpool attacked us deep into our half, forcing us into the left-back area by the corner flag. We won back possession, then played several amazing 'rondos' to get us out of trouble and up the field to counter-attack Liverpool's penalty area. A few seconds after being under threat at our end, Nunes finds the space to cross to Haaland and it's 'Goodnight Vienna', 1-0.

It was one of the best passages of play we've put together for a long time and in my view equal to anything that David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Yaya and company ever put together in their pomp. Everyone in our (large) group in the North Stand agreed that it was top drawer football. From defence to attack in moments, it was total 'Pep-Ball'..!

And yet the MOTD editors instead went from Haaland's missed penalty to the moment when the penultimate pass out to Nunes was made, missing out every sublime moment in the run up to that equally sublime cross from Nunes and finish by Haaland. I repeat, sublime. But you wouldn't know about it from the highlights package shown.

I doubt that such an amazing passage of play would've been ignored had it been other team(s) that had produced that goal*..

Instead, we had to put up with the inane drivel spouted by so-called 'experts' who clearly do not know the 'Laws of the Game'.

Hey-f**king-ho.. it was ever thus..

(* Cynic? Moi?! How very dare you..!!)

It's tragic that a football highlights programme does not show football highlights. Instead we have to listen to people with poor diction talking nonsense.
