Match Reaction v Chelsea

[Cripps_orig]

Have you ever played Roberto Baggio's Magical Kicks? It was like that. If the keeper moves to 'cover' the ball, he looks like an utter retard when it goes in the other corner. There is nothing Mannone can do with a ball going like that. Why do you think those are constantly described as a nightmare for defenders. You get lucky with the touch or you don't and we didn't.

Pretty much

Kos should have either not gone for it or cleared it. Mannone couldnt go for it until it went past Kos. Anyone can see that.

I dont blame Kos for going for it. I do blame him for making a mess of it

Your both pissed and upset and its just emotion spilling out. You seem like a nice dude tbh.

Dont worry, ive ended it from the post just above yours

If Mannone tells the defender not to touch it, what happens when the Chelsea player gets a clear header on goal?

there was no chelsea player near him at hte time. kos made the fuck up unchallaegned hence why mannone should have called it

It was an excellent ball into the corridor of uncertainty. Neither at fault. The defender has to get lucky for the touch to go wide instead. Look at Luiz's in the second half.

'corridor of uncertainty' Bloody Geoffrey Boycott's on here now!

You don't need to apportion blame for every single event. It was swerving in at pace. Koscielny did his best to divert it away but could not get a decisive touch. It happens! As for blaming Mannone - for fuck's sake. Look at the goal. How is someone expected to 'call' for a ball travelling at that speed with the defender halfway committed to going for it?

There were two Chelsea players to the left of Koscielny (http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos...oal-v-arsenal/), if he leaves it there's a chance they get on the end of the cross. Tbh I'm not really blaming Koscielny either for that goal, because in that split second there's real uncertainty about what to do, and there's hardly any time to tell the defender what to do anyway.

Torres and JT were behind Kos. Not fully Kos's fault, the ball should have been dealt with a lot earlier (the same with first goal). Why on earth it always reach our last defenders.. I dont know. Hence why I said many our players have no gut to defend our box, they always wait for their CBs to clear things out.

If this would be manu, their midfield players would have head the ball out before it even reach the last defender.

it's the best way of describing it. Like edging Mcgrath to the slips.
