Post Match Leicester 3 Manchester United 1 FA Cup QF

[Graz]

We kept the ball and played 28 passes in the build-up to Youri's goal.



Bloody tappy-tappy shite, backwards/sideways passing, defenders passing it, too slow, yadda yadda.

Great example of working the ball around the pitch to create space.

they key is the players ran and passed at pace, that's what creates the wholes to exploit we can often fall into slow ponderous passing which is easy to defend

It was widely reported that the Manchester United defence didn’t get a tackle in. I can clearly see a superb sliding tackle between the two centre backs as Tielemans scores...

That's the classic counter attacking move we're known for.

It's the Leicester way.

 

[fitz]

It's the Leicester way.

Exploited Youri's blistering pace in behind (but infront) of their defenders. Difficult to play against unless you sit back I suppose.

Exactly, just a long ball over the top for Vardy to chase.

 

[Robin127]

No goals in that team when Vardy doesn't score.

Something something Barnes, Maddison, England, Southgate, Manchester United should buy them.

Why are people filming themselves watching games? And does anybody else actually watch them watching games?

One of the most jaw dropping things a year of lockdown has brought to my attention is the existence of "youtube reaction videos"

Jesus wept.

The 21st century really is a pit of regurgitation & repetition.

The music ones...basically people film their own reactions to old songs & pretend they've never heard them before.

As soon as one goes up on one of the bigger channels, miraculously the same song appears on all of the others a few days later...& yet none of these people have ever seen or heard any of them before in their entire lives (honest guv, would I lie to you)

In most cases the gimmick is that these people are "fish out of water" i.e. culturally removed from said music. In practice this normally equates to black people (mostly American) listening to rock music.

The bigger channels are monetised! People pay them to do this stuff !! THEY SELL MERCHANDISE !!!

These people are literally nobody...& they sell merchandise. They are being paid to watch youtube while they sit & record themselves on youtube. It's Gogglebox on steroids.

I'm conflicted between being ****ing horrified by the whole concept & disgusted that I didn't think of it.

would I lie to you

I know that song.

 

[fitz]

I know that song.

Which allows me to share this fact about Eddie.

He started his first band at age 12 with neighborhood friends Cliff Burton (later of Metallica) and Mike Bordin (later of Faith No More)

Lolz

 

[Robin127]

Eddie?

 

[fitz]

Eddie?

Aye, the other half of Charles and Eddie.

 

[Robin127]

What's that got to with the Eurythmics?

 

[Blaarev]

What's that got to with the Eurythmics?

Eddie starts with an E

 

[fitz]

What's that got to with the Eurythmics?

There's probably a link somewhere. Maybe Charles was in a band with Lennox?

Lennox Lewis was in a band ?
