Central midfield utter garbage against a well drilled team. Pedestrian.

A penalty and a worldie freekick. Didn’t change anything about the notion of this team being utterly useless in open play.Quote:

Great clip of Xhaka opting for a sideways pass rather than trying to find Auba with the run he made. :lol:
on the bright side, we go up to 14th if all the other scores remain the same... :popcorn:
There was one moment where one of our boys (maybe Martinelli?) played a beautifully-cushioned lay off from the right, just begging for someone to run onto it at full speed, and not one player moved - made him look like a right mug...
Exciting times.Quote:
