Monaco post match

[dennishasdoneit]

Five fucking three, excitement beyond anything and all the papers and media talk about is how shit the defending was -mainly ours!!!!

What puzzles me is how they can talk about outstanding strikers in one sentence and then in the next criticise the defenders for not being able to stop those outstanding strikers!!!

Also amazes me how limited the pundits and media are when trying to understand Pep. Pep has made his methods clear time and time again but it's like no one wants to listen.

That was a game about the attackers. No defence in the world could have coped with either attack. Enjoy it and acclaim it for what it was. An outstanding game of football.

Exactly.
I've thought for years ...you can't have brilliant attacking play alongside poor defending.pundits should be looking at the entertainment value,embracing the same,and be grateful they are being asked to comment on such brilliant football match.Listening to ,for example Ex City forward Paul Walsh,on sky sports news,attempting to balance praising the two teams for outstanding attacking play ,thru gritted teeth ,then stating it was poor defending by both sides...it was just painful.What the fuck does Paul Walsh know about defending? A great little player in his time,full of attacking dynamic flair,but his employers hAve given him the script...and he,through gritted teeth,must stick to it.
Pathetic.

Leicester get praise for getting beat yet we get stick for a defensive shambles , not forgetting prior to the game everyone in the media were telling anyone that would listen that Monaco are currently the best attacking side in europe...and people say theres no agenda !

Press conferences like that just prove we have the right manager, win or lose football like that is special and is exactly what we all love about the game.

I've watched it dozens of times from every angle. The pixels on your screen must configure themselves in a different way to mine. What I see, and bear in mind at full speed both players were flying with virtually no time to even think about a contrivance, is a player round the keeper and not so much as a 1/20th of a second later that keeper's swiping right leg take him out across the bridge of his left foot. Sergio doesn't stick his leg down or sideways to initiate contact. Nor does he jump particularly high, but then again he's not obliged to. It's not up to him to get out of the way of ill judged challenges. It's the most stonewall penalty imaginable

Watch it again, you've obviously missed Sergio going off the floor first and making contact with the keeper's leg.

PS. My pixels are fine my friend. ;)

He was running full pelt,his feet aren't going to be on the ground,slow pictures don't account for the speed he is going

He actually jumps into the keeper rather than the keeper making contact first and trails his leg. I was absolutely convinced it was a penalty myself. I shouted "penalty" like everyone else but this angle changed my opinion.
