DC9 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) By teh way the TV coverage is first rate out here in terms of the range of games they show from the major European Leagues with the Premier League getting by far the most coverage. The studio team is Richard Keys and Andy Gray who have not got any better than when they were at Sky (but whoes views on women fit in better in this part of the world). Oh they LOVE their football. I used to go to the barber shop two to three times a week (when I was deployed to Iraq) cause they had cable just so that I could watch Liverpool play. I also became a huge fan of the Iraq national team that year, can't remember if they won the Aisa cup or not but I'm pretty sure they made the finals (2006-07). EDIT: Yeah, they did win in 07. I remember watching the semi final, which went to pens, in the barber shop. I was the only American in there, but that was so awesome watching what that meant to them.

Elessar78 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Another example of why stats in soccer are superfluous bunkum 9 times out of 10. Hail. Yes. Shots that whizz by the post by less than a foot are far more dangerous than shots ON target right at the keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yes. Shots that whizz by the post by less than a foot are far more dangerous than shots ON target right at the keeper. Point. Those counted would make Ozil look far more dangerous and lead to Joe's head exploding in unadulterated ecstasy. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Ozil is such a frustrating player to watch I mean he's been their best player since he's been back I really don't the criticism he gets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeWolf990 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I mean he's been their best player since he's been back I really don't the criticism he gets because English fans just dont understand hte type of player he is. Dude got 2 assists, had 5 chances yesterday, and completed the most passes in the final 3rd and apparently he wasnt good enough. And this is for a team that is not suited to him at all since we play this slow confused attack. Ozil is a counter attacker and the match was more closed off than free flowing. The man has been magnificent on the pitch since his return. Coquelin isnt good enough for a team to challenge for a title but damn if he isnt a warrior. Gabriel had a really good match as well, after the shaky play. Ospina was good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC9 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 he da bess mang We're both right - Not sure Murray gets it for me. Wasn't he off by the 75'? Rooney certainly not. Berahino should be in there for Rooney. I'd let Murray go cause he got two against Southampton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel had a really good match as well, after the shaky play. Ospina was good too. Couldn't agree more. The English media loves players who run around at 90 miles an hour at all times (See Ramsey). They feel the touch, finesse players are too weak or passive to play the game. Notice that City depends on Silva, Chelsea on Hazard, and Pool is at its best with Coutinho, so hopefully they start to appreciate skilled players, even if they aren't 6 foot 2, 190 lbs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His game is really predicated on good movement from his attackers but also from himself. He seems like he is drifting but is really weaving for space. That moving around moves defenders and creates space for others to do their moves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because the press have been hammering Hazard and Sanchez all season ...and Coutinho. Oil had a bad patch then got injured. He's back playing well now. No mystery, conspiracy or idiot fans/media needed to explain it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to know who to listen to and why they are saying what they are saying. I've never heard anyone bashing Hazard for his play. He is a top 5 player in the premier league in my opinion (might be the best). A lot of it is shtick. Don't take it personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I wonder if he's related to Graham Rix? (Ex Arsenal legend convicted of having sex with a 15 year old ..... 'But she looked 18 dolled up Your Honour!' That all lead to the very humorous chant from Hibbs fans during Rix's short managerial spell at rivals Hearts 'If you tolerate Rix, then your children will be next' after the classic Manics song of nearly the same name.

Funnily enough there was an article on him in the local paper a week or so back before the Youth Lge loss to Benfica saying how he's learning a ton from Robbie Fowler who's been taking sessions. (He was the joint second highest scorer in the tournament at the time.). Don't see how he could be any worse than Lambert or Borini.
