Saeed and Rants arguing about De Gea saving the free kick.
Saeed thinks De Gea should save that and Rants saying it was a good free kick.

He turned up at his new club over weight and hasn't been properly fit since. Is that a lie?Why you keep on ignoring the fact that I've already stated he's played too many games so far. Didn't you do GCSE PE at school. They teach you about reversibility and overload, it's part of the PROS.
Nearly 700 career games before 30. On top of the ankles injuries is extreme wear and tear. You can try and spin it as much as you like, but all of that is a factor. Him being injured regularly means he cannot train properly/freely which means his body is already under stress. The extra weight that he is struggling to get rid off also doesn't help the ankle, it's making it worst. It's basically adding more fuel to the fire. Especially when a big part of Hazards game is turning defenders quickly and pushing off on the ankles. It's all related in one way or another.
Klopp is correct about Sheffield Utd. Hope they get relegated because of their foolishness
At what point did we get to this era? I still enjoy the sport. But I enjoyed it more in the late 90s/2000s. Players felt more magical.... but I thought that was me being nostalgic

Its what happens when you don't play a striker. Rashford and Greenwood are playing wide with Bruno behind. Good initial possession earlier but nothing to trouble Southampton. Cavani should be on.

VDB having to play with these clowns.

He knew Martial was ill and he could've started Cavani since him, VDB and Bruno linked up well cause Cavani would drop off.
Rashford isn't a striker and Greenwood ain't a finished article while also adding to his personal issues.
Can't play a diamond without Cavani or Martial.
Ward Prowse is the real deal. Bend it like who?

Valdano: English teams robbing game of skill
Well it's more directed at Mourinho and Rafa, than the actual clubs. But because they were coaching there at the time.
But it's combination of what's hot at the time and people copying and evolving from that.
So timeline wise, Mourinho, Rafa, United, Barca Pep/VDB Spain Tiki Taka, Klopp Dortmund, Bayern/Germany and finally Real CL teams.
Pep Barca/VDB Spain is there because they got most teams over playing and having possession for the sake of having possession is very robotic. So call it controlling the game, passing sideways and down the channels only to pass it back to the CB or goalkeeper isnt entertaining.
Man dem talking about my manager. Just look at this guy man.
Imagine if someone ever asks him about Salah and Manes theatrics.

5 subs is what's best, but some teams are just trying to survive, don't play in Europe and don't compete in domestic cups, so having only 3 subs puts the other teams at a disadvantage, so it's in their best interest to do what they can do survive.
With that being said it's not the first time a manager has complained about the number of subs, maybe if Klippity complained earlier things would have been taken seriously since the media kisses his ass so much.
