Talk Bollox was saying the other day that the stats for scoring directly from corners was like 1 in 100 which surprised me a bit but guess that depends on having a lot of 6ft+ players through the team which clearly we don’t , so our stats are probably lower then the 100 + average they mentioned ( which is not checked so could be total bollox anyway )
I’m surprised that somebody as revolutionary as pep hasn’t come up with some other options of corner kicks that doesn’t eventually end with the ball being lumped I’m the box being from direct corner or short corner.
Not a criticism but if anybody can change the norm then I’d guess pep could come up with something
Expected to maul them tonight as well.I expect them to absolutely maul Spurs now.
Correct, not sure how officials missed thisAnother point, which haven't been raised yet; the corner kick, which led to the corner kick which led to the handball, should've been a goal kick. Ball hits Son's knee.
Probably best angle.

Our defending and goalkeeping is still our achilles heel. We can absolutely batter a team and still ship goals from every effort on target.
That's not going to change much over the next few weeks.
I agree mate and as much as I love watching this team play part of me feels we’ve fluffed our lines again just like losing to United last year at home for the league. To concede 3 at home in the manner we did is poor end ofCan't give away 3 goals at home at this stage of the CL and expect to qualify. Some brilliant performances tonight but David Silva was the proverbial chocolate teapot again and Laporte cost us 2 of those goals & didn't cover himself in glory for the third.
Simple fact is that we weren't brave enough in the first leg. Liverpool scored 4 tonight in Porto when they could have sat back. Ajax went to Madrid & Turin and were true to their footballing beliefs. We lost that game at White Hart Lane.
Agreed. He’s grown with his sustained run in the side.Gundogan was very good tonight

You think Ederson was good???Pmsl
Yeah I know what you’re saying but answer me this.
My dad is 74, recovering from having half his kidney removed two weeks ago (cancer), was too tired to stay up tonight and is going to watch it “as live” when he wakes up at 6am. The poor fucker is going to go through all of that, he’s going to celebrate the last minute winner and then he’s going to be so upset, as we all have been.
What the fuck should I do? It actually hurts my heart to imagine and know what he’s gonna go through. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone, let alone a poorly old guy. I’m half wanting to text him and tell him to call me before he watches it rather than let him go through all of that when he’s not well.
I’m sat here, two hours ahead of you lot with no clue what I should do. As I say, it’s pretty cruel either way.
What the funk are you on about!You think Ederson was good???
Thanks mate. I hope you lad’s ok.I’d give him a clue that it doesn’t end well for us. Hope he gets better soon
I had a kidney taken out on Thursday. Donated to my son. Against everybody’s wishes I went tonight. I had to be there. Now I feel like I’ve been kicked in the guts
And my son is sat in bed in the childrens hospital in tears trying to come to terms with what he just watched
I’ve promised him we will now smash the domestic treble and he’s definitely gonna be there to see us lift the FA Cup
