"On a hat trick" means a player has two goals, which makes no sense now that I think about it, considering "on a yellow card" means the player already has a yellow.


That does indeed make no sense to me. But funny, you live and you learn. :D

How many games of baka + fab must conte fail before hr realises that the combi sucks. Going for the pair against a good team like Roma is just naive. Baka for his size can't control the midfield at all. Fab is just non existent defensively.

We have no cover when Kante is out. Our best Kante replacement was made to play in defence that is not protected. With Luiz in DM with Baka, Christensen should have played too.

He had no choice. Drinkwater isn't fit enough to play from the start, Kante wasn't ready for that game as he must want to use him for the game vs Yanited. After the international break we are going to need to go on a long run of wins to get back into contention anywhere, but last night was a case of being unlucky and terrible defending. Even at 2-0 down i was like well i think we can turn this around we are making so many chances and not taking any of them.

No choice? I'm not talking about Drinkwater. I think Luiz should have played DM. We have more than enough depth in our defence department that I think we can afford luiz to be in midfield. That would also allow baka to play a box to box role which I think suits him best.

Luiz played DM in the first leg and we got pummeled but scrapped a 3-3 draw, for 60 minutes of that game last night we were far superior to Roma but took 0 of our chances, then after the 3rd goal went in we just gave up and downed tools.

We have plenty of cover in defense over midfield at this moment in time but that does change now as Kante is back and Drinkwater is gaining fitness. Just need to steady ourselves but last night we had to play 3-4-3 as that is how you beat Roma offensively it is just we took none of our chances, Hazard should have had a hatrick in the first half but all his shots went straight at the keeper. Morata missed from 4 yards out, Bakayoko header missed, Alonso forced a great great save etcetc. That was our best offensive performance in weeks, but they scored 2 world class goals and Rudiger done goofed for one. But of course on paper a 3-0 is bad.

We still in great position. Roma go to Madrid next matchday with Madrid having to win that game to stand a chance and we go away to FC Qarabag. If we can't win their, then we have huge issues, but if we do win and Roma fail to win we still can be first in the group if not can finish 2nd.

That does indeed make no sense to me. But funny, you live and you learn. :D


being "on a hat trick" started with cricket to imply dismissing 2 players in 2 successive deliveries. So when to got 2 in a row you were "on a hat trick" that is the chance to get 3 in 3. The term has been appropriated into (football) and other sports to just mean 2 scored in the same game but the way it's presented kinda just followed. The cricket version is extremely rare so it really is a 'hat trick" as in a magicians trick. So being on one is a big deal with alot of hype. Completing one puts you in history books. Also something about the first guy who did it got a bunch of money from the people watching in a hat (like a street performer).

In that sense it's different from being on a yellow. That is a footballing term and that's just how it was introduced so the reasoning for why the terms are the way they are have different origins.

Spurs have been really tame since going a goal up. Been pretty one way traffic with Real dominating and Spurs playing Route One to Harry Kane since.

Bit of a shame because they were going toe to toe before going ahead. And are well worth their lead.


Edit: Haaaah... Fuck yeah let's go Dele !!! I'm enjoying Ronaldos scowls and whiny expressions especially today.

Dear Real fans,

This is what happens when teams with a modicum of pace and talent in the counter get ahead against you and you have to actually attack as a team. Your defenders are not bad. It just happens sometimes

That having been said. Enjoy some of your own over rated medicine.

Regards,
Everyone else

Heh... Was looking at the highlight list (great job on that btw!) and wondering what Casemiro is up to this time.

... Apparently comedy.

BVB 2/12 points by drawing APOEL home and away and not even getting the tie breaker. Goal differenc e will end up decisive, oh and Real basically through even if they have been disappointing as well. It does open up some nice potential Ro16s tho.

Bosz needs to be sacked by the morning. At this rate we won't even make it into EL.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

Excellent explanation Rebs.

Some interesting results I'm waking up to. I'll have to find some highlights somewhere.

Great job as always. Thank you so much for these. Love to wake up and check out all the goals.

There were some doubts about Sane going to a big Club maybe a little early. But man he found his place there. Awesome pace, I hope he finds himself starting for the national team soon.

Ro16 will be fun for sure. If standings stay like this, finishing first means you can play against Bayern, Chelsea, Juventus or Real Madrid... And Chelsea would have to play Barça, PSG or Besiktas, with all those English teams topping their groups (wtf).
