All Star Referee Premier League '16-'17 Discussion - Part 10

Tremendous work from Conte and his fitness staff. We dint endure many injuries as well in his 3 year tenure with us as compared to now where we've become another Milan lab copping one injury after another.

Conte and his staff lol.

Chelsea have had a long term history of hardly getting any injuries for like 5 years now.

Chelsea the season they won the league last time under Jose had virtually no injuries for the entire season. The reason they arent getting injuries this term is because they have lesser games to play. And its not because Conte and staff are some kinda superhumans at their jobs.

Matip being a POS for using his NT to play in a World Cup since he is too much of a scrub to ever sniff the German team. And than decides he is retired. FIFA and Cameroon for not accepting his retirement

Will be rooting for Cameroon to make the final or Third place game of AFCON.

We also had one competition to worry about since the lack of *bleep* he gave about both the Coppa Italia and the Champions League while with Juventus. But still, an impressive fact from his Juve and now Chelsea time.

But we beat you without him mate

? We had Zouma injury injured from last season when he was a starter and only recently recovered, JT missed months of this season due to injury, Willian was out injured for weeks. We also had key players like Eden, Diego and Matic all missing a couple of games due to injuries as well.

We're the most unlucky team tbh

surely we will find a way to mess up but if we can soldier through and stay unbeaten things could look good

I'm guessing the last stretch of the season we're gonna have a lot of tough fixtures though

toughest fixture is Stoke away IMO, would be disappointed if we dropped points anywhere else

Our last 2 away fixtures of the season are Spurs and Arsenal back to back

He said tough tbf.

Yh I was emphasizing just how tough it is

I was joking implying both games wouldn't be tough

Nice lil article

In the seven years since David Sullivan and David Gold took charge, the club have signed 32 strikers who have managed 128 goals in 643 games

Unreal ineptness lol.

Liverpool play more long balls than Utd this season

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool didn't play any long balls yesterday. His teams never play direct football. pic.twitter.com/2gmCfTTahq

^Exactly. We were poor that day and most of the criticisms coming our way are warranted, so fair enuff but now seeing Livpool fans led by their nutjob of a manager are out in full force to nail it down as some kinda sorry agenda that United were playing anti-football and were hence somehow guilty of getting a draw is really .. you know, baffling and laughable at the same time.

Pool themselves were playing long balls that game, and that when they dont even have a real target man in their ranks upfront. The reason why we are doing it is explainable at least as Zlatan is one of if not the best target man in world football right now, also 1 of the best counter strategy to hard pressing is to go aerial.

For a guy who is a self proclaimed preacher and practitioner of rockstar football, Klopp set about his team in the second half to sit on a narrow 1 goal lead and resort to negative long ball tactic.
Talks one thing and does the opposite. And here we have their fans lapping up everything he is saying and doing without spilling a single drop.

Well in Rahul Singh. Also Glory rambling...

ya'll still have the second highest crosses this season lads.

What do you expect from Liverpool FC, Obviously we'll come to OT with a shite team and settle for a good result.

So it's gone from most long balls to highest crosses then, cutting corners, I see. It's a load of BS to me unless you can provide statistical proof of it like I did to dispute your claim.

It was more of a joke, The original post. You've you got your head up your ass and you can't take any light banter is not my problem. Need to stick to replying to Firenze tbh.

Hoping your lads upvote me for this proof

Wasnt having a go at you. Its just that your post reminded me of it. And then RED's timely reply gave me a good window to say those things. lol
Anyway I was referring more in a general context. And mostly I was/am angry at Klopp for his accusations after the match (and at the Scousers for propagating them accusations on social media, not GL). He clearly was butthurt he couldnt sneak out of OT with an unexpected win. And the guy even called Herrera lazy for that foul he did on Firmino. reasoning he could have gone on and won the ball back fairly when it is only because he couldnt win it back normally he had to resort to that 'professional foul' in the 1st place. What a pos!

And finally that post of mine was in a lighter vein. It wasnt rambling/venting at all.

Well crosses aren't as stigmatized as playing a high amount of long balls, which Liverpool do far more than us. And we've got a target man in Ibra, plus Fellaini, so it's a advantageous plan B to have. What's Liverpool's excuse?

I had no idea Liverpool had their replay with Plymouth last night, they barely scrapped past them 1-0 with a very strong team?

Na it was mostly youngsters and reserve players as far as I know. Coutinho played, but it could have been mainly for fitness reasons. Klopp doesnt give a shit about FA cup. He would have happily smiled and went back home had they not gone through.

Karius, Lucas, Moreno, Coutinho, Sturridge, Origi

6 first team players and they still struggled hard

Coutinho looking like a jobber since his return, understandable and I hope it continues
