How the tale of Everton and one Kenyan refugee brings home the human side of English football

Electrocuted, scarred and then rescued by Everton, Jacob Vieira is one refugee among many to have been taken in by the Premier League's top clubs

Wtf

Dude on the end looks about 30.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Good for Lincoln City, after their amazing run in the FA Cup they definitely deserved this. It's silly but I look forward to playing as them in FIFA next year.

That being said, I fucking hate it when teams time-waste for as long as Lincoln did today.

 

[spidye]

No costa, no coman, no kimmich ane no sanches in a game where it doesn't really matter and with the dame players who played 120 min on tuesday

I really can't do this anymore

 

[spidye]

I am more suprised how bad Vidal and Thiago are working in defence. 10 yards space between them and the defence. Bojan does what Isco and Casemiro did with that space. Terrible, terrible defending. 8 goals conceded in the last 3 matches. Last time that happened was when Lell and Oddo were defenders.

exactly.
very strange 'tactics' and defending.

we had 3 maybe 4 good games this year. unfortunately with someone like 'yes-man' rummenigge nothing will change
where's hoeneß' criticism when we need it

 

[McMoneyman]

Gary Lineker is saying that apparently both Costa and Hazard is being rested today.

 

[spidye]

how the fuck is this not a red and a penalty

god damn it german refs are really the worst

 

[El Topo]

Kind of wish we brought in Kahn and Lahm, former players with experience and capital at Bayern. Honestly, as weird as it is, we are missing someone like Sammer. Someone who keeps things at imbalance.
I'm pissed they scared Lahm away.

 

[McMoneyman]

Gary was right, Costa and Hazard are indeed on the bench for Chelsea.

No! Sammer and his strange rhetoric in- and outside the club plus his tremendous scouting of Kirchhoff, Rode and Kurt really disqualified him. Yes, we might need someone who sees things more rational but our problems are somewhere else. It begins at the youth and ends with no equal players available for our retiring players and the non existing system that we are currently playing.

I just like Sammer.

What do you mean "as weird as it is"? Sammer was fantastic for us.

But I agree with you, really wish we had secured Lahm or so. I am tired of the Uli-Kalle duopoly


Edit: I grant Jack CW Rode and Kirchhoff. Not all his German transfers were winners

Reads like Gaal 2011...
Anyway, I just hope Nagelsmann and/or Hasenhüttl convince next season in CL and one of them might make it to us. Right now I wish Klopp in 2 years, because he knows how to built a team.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

What a tale of destruction for Leyton Orient

Ronaldo's son can take a free kick

[T-Rex.]

Poor keeping.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Son is playing LWB? Are they expecting him to track back?




what a goal

 

[tim.mbp]

Battle of the Borussias

 

[T-Rex.]

Kane! Not a bad start to the match.

that goal looks better with each replay

 

[HawkeyeIC]

Amazing from kane

 

[Empty]

kane's header is pure genius

 

[Mory Dunz]

Has Batshuyai done anything

 

[eldudebro]

1-0 Reus penalty.

Dahoud doing his part for the cause already. Admittedly foul was outside the box.

 

[Nova Prime]

Has Batshuyai done anything

This game or this season? The answer to both is nope.

 

[Mory Dunz]

This game or this season? The answer to both is nope.

He doesn't get involved in build up play at all.
Nice knockdown though

 

[Mory Dunz]

I asked why Son was playing that position anyway before the game started

Knew it was a dumb decision.

 

[Beefy]

Lloris is lucky as fuck there

 

[Mory Dunz]

Lloris is lucky as fuck there

Why was Batshuyai not hunting that from the beginning? He was jogging.
When it was clear it wasn't reaching Lloris easily...


EDIT:
Wow

 

[T-Rex.]

Goddamn, what a hit

 

[Empty]

that matic goal is so satisfying to watch. such a perfect clean hit.

 

[Inversive]

What a strike from Matic

 

[Mory Dunz]

Is this game the "no ugly goals" zone

 

[A Serious Man]

Really did not expect to win today, absolutely thrilled.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Foot like a goddamn traction engine.

 

[Sciel]

Apparently this is Spurs 7th Semi-Final loss in a row.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

We can only hope Chelsea stop being so strong next season, they've been pretty incredible.

 

[Beefy]

Chelsea will need two new strikers next year.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Jermaine Jenas is upset 😂

 

[A Serious Man]

We can only hope Chelsea stop being so strong next season, they've been pretty incredible.

We should be beefing up for the CL over the summer but Courtois, Hazard and Costa could all be gone as well. I really don't know what we'll look like next season.

 

[DBT85]

We can only hope Chelsea stop being so strong next season, they've been pretty incredible.

They are going to have to play at minimum 7 extra games (Community + UCL). Everyone knows how much easier teams have it when they don't have any European football to play. Look at Pool this season and a few years ago and Chelsea this year.

Having mostly 6-7 days between matches allowing you to rest and train properly is a huge benefit. They've clearly still got a very strong team so I'd still expect them to be fighting for everything, but at least they'll have an extra distraction. The question will be how good the squad is. When Mou won it a bunch of players played like 4000+ minutes as he didn't rotate much, not sure how its shaped up this year.

They also went out of the League Cup in October, so way earlier than they would normally be expected to.

 

[Elchele]

we need to splash some money in the summer.

also, how are Bremen in EL!?

 

[Syder]

Spurs have looked unbeatable recently and despite playing better than they normally do at Wembley Chelsea still countered them perfectly.

Bravo, Conte. 👏🏻

 

[tim.mbp]

Bernardeschi with one of the worst Panenka attempts.

Edit: lol subbed out. Fans whistling.
