Interesting that just two seasons ago we were bitching and moaning about all the crosses, and now all I want is for our 6' 4" BFG to steer them into the net
have found the actual reason (i think). Kiwior is the one who receives and scores it. But Gabriel interferes with play and therefore still offside, but semiauto will track Kiwior.
yeah. He is quite alright though, lol. Reminded of why we played him even ahead of Holding at times. (though obvioulsy White having to learn RB for Holding to play didn't help either)
I really, really don't get why he hasn't given the kids a 15 minute run out. What damage could they possibly do when we're tied 1-1 and both sides are content to be going through?
I don't buy the "we want to win every game" philosophy, either. If we want to make academy players think they can get into the first team, we can't just keep pointing to Saka.

Oops, just realized there's a game on 🤐
Nice to see Ramsdale get a Champions League game.
Happy cake day!
@Astrealix Thanks, though strictly speaking, that was yesterday, and only for this server.
yeah idk, federation works weird with cake day tbh XD
SMITH-ROWE RISES AGAIN
For Kai or Trossard?
For Kai, though honestly Trossard should be yoinked
only to probably fall again soon 💀

so what you're saying is that in two seasons we'll be asking Eidevall to cross more towards Russo
Correct!
Ramsdale is neutralising all their threat eh?
will they just stop it with the raya ramsdale shit
Never, unfortunately
E D W A R D
well done ramsdale!
Cedric in a Champions League match. Didn't think I would witness that
£3m for winning this
may be more cuz of the draw pot iirc
Reiss assist?
Resist?
Egyptian Pirlo forces a save
Excellent defending there
ad saying "the champion foldables" is that referring to man city, cuz they're gonna fold as a club once those 115 kick in
for FUCKS SAKE NOT AGAIN
No no no no no no you're not telling me Elneny's injured again. No.
@Astrealix love him but he’s gotta be able to play a full 90!
Honestly i wouldn't even mind if he just didin't get hurt for months on every time.
Not watching because at work, anything for Rammers to do today?
Good few saves. Like SoupACabra said, generally covered by Wilo and Cedric. Gabriel hasn't been great tbf.
Saved a low shot from just outside the box
Had a shot covered as it hit the post
Not much threat to deal with because of Wilo and 🤔🤔🤔 Cedric
solid, solid defending.
Reiss has the dribbling itch on his feet
Sigh, everyone got the memo to go back but Gabi
Just need a Carlos Cuesta injury from colliding with Albert
Eddie should never own a gun
Casually passing it around in their box....
So is automated offsides only for the knockout stages? I don't see why it shouldn't be in place for the group stage as well
have found the actual reason (i think). Kiwior is the one who receives and scores it. But Gabriel interferes with play and therefore still offside, but semiauto will track Kiwior.
Hmmm, that makes sense, I hadn't actually seen it touch Kiwior until I went back
It is semi-auto, maybe they just didn't bother showing the imagery since it started with a ref offside call.
Yeah, perhaps. Not like it was controversial in any way, I'm just eager to see more automated stuff getting put in
I've seen part of twitter moan about it tbf. Small but definitely exists, and also probably people who don't know the rules lol
Honestly that's part of why I want automated offsides, so we can focus on what the refs are fucking up -the subjective calls
That was some linkup
I miss Kieran Tierney.
Here we go!
Honestly forgot how decent Cedric can be. Not PL challenge level, sure, but he's really not that bad. Surprised no one bought him. Wages, probably.
I think so. He was extended before we really fixed our wage structure, and his Fulham loan didn't help matters.
yeah. He is quite alright though, lol. Reminded of why we played him even ahead of Holding at times. (though obvioulsy White having to learn RB for Holding to play didn't help either)
RR
Didn't even have to sprint there
There it is!
arteta FFS let the kids have a chance please
to be fair, we aren't winning the game, i can understand not putting them on. Just mild, very mild frustration lol.
I really, really don't get why he hasn't given the kids a 15 minute run out. What damage could they possibly do when we're tied 1-1 and both sides are content to be going through?
I don't buy the "we want to win every game" philosophy, either. If we want to make academy players think they can get into the first team, we can't just keep pointing to Saka.
There's a good bit of money involved tbf, but yeah. Would've liked to see a runout for the kids. Smith Rowe does need the minutes, though.
Trossard you ___
Cedric, good shit
Kiwior you need to score that mannnn 😭
Cedric, where you at
Suggest alternatives to "60 million down the drain"
Good a chance as any to see Nwaneri on imo.
With a one goal lead, hoping for some debuts.
These PSV players are real good at doing the splits
Kai could have shot there
Eddie how do you go off target from that far
Looked like a handball in play to me. Kinda don't care but yeah.
that's a poor cross from Trossard ngl
really seeing why we are playing Gabriel and Saliba still lol
Cedric should've had an assist there
Think Ramsdale got a touch to that.
Deflected onto post
so it is. good shit. Coulda done better but i'll take it, Rice needs to do better in the first place there.
elneny nearly got the annual banger there
good goal tbf.
Eddie!
ahh damn yeah that's off
idk how I just noticed this but Nelson and Trossard have switched sides once Ødegaard came on.
Bakayoko p good at 1v1
Please get Trossard off he's all over the place
for whom lol we basically don't have wingers
Bro Tross is washed (for tonight)
He's always either amazing or terrible this season, never in between.
White, Rice, Ødegaard on for Cedric, Saliba, Elneny (the last of which was injured)
Rice at CB. Eddie has fallen and stayed down after an accidental collision with Havertz.
Give Nwaneri a chance to score some goals gaf
Can I get some Walters for Gabi please gaffer
i swear it's gonna come out that Walters tripped in the shower before coming here or something
