Football

It's not just reasonable, it's inexcusable not to.

Proof that streaming multiple games works and is easy.

The NFL does this.
I think you can somehow have multicast games on one screen that zoom to the action as it happens in a game.
Ah yes. It's the NFL RedZone

How is Trump and USA!USA!USA! an excuse for Amazon paying low tax in the EU? is it leverage? is this the optic?

(I for one welcome our move to 90s football)

How is Trump and USA!USA!USA! an excuse for Amazon paying low tax in the EU? is it leverage? is this the optic?

I was talking about the USA in particular rather than linking Trump to the EU.

The EU are in the process of closing loopholes for corporate taxation. Some say this is a driving factor behind the funding of the various Brexit campaigns given that the UK has done virtually fuck all to attack the problem.

Anyway....sorry for the derail.

Derail away!
Just because this is the football thread, it doesn't mean we can't read proper.

Unless you support Stoke.

The Irish government are pretty big on companies paying no tax as well. They've spent millions on a court case saying they don't want the €13bn of tax from Apple that is sat in a bank account for them.

Personally I'm holding out for a return to 80s football.

When the football thread has more posts about Amazon than the Merseyside derby...

Mane was on fire!

Mane has run the show this season. The pass for Origi’s first was incredible.

Yeah such a great through ball he is still improving his game which is scary.

I thought TAAs ball to release Mane for Shaqiri's goal was something else.

Shaqiri had a decent overall game from the 15 minutes I got to watch.

I thought TAA played like a bit of a snide cunt too though

I missed that.
Is the derby match though, you'd expect a bit of bristle right?

Obvs. No one for Everton was pulling shirts, leaving their foot in, or anything.

Mourinho needs to fix, tweak the midfield, Winks and Sissoko aren't the answer, and Toby punting passes long to runners isn't the answer.
We gave Utd too much possession, and even then they looked bang average, with only Rashford really making an impression. Lingard, Greenwood, James, Fred, McTominay did little to nothing, with all the possession we gave them.
Our back four (verts and Toby, and to a certain extent Sanchez, though his passing is limited) wouldn't/couldn't find a pass into Ndombele when he came on, even though he is our most press resistant midfielder, and he's the one who'll break the lines and get the ball into feet for our front four.
Kane had no service and Son was in one of his snatch at chances moods.
Dele's goal was magnificent, but Sissoko giving a soft penalty to Rashford (who could have put his foot down, but tucked it under himself) early in the second took any momentum we could have built away.
Pah.

McTominay did nothing.

Please show your working.

we gave them the ball, he (any of the players named above, mctominay included) didn't advance it, or put us under pressure with it. Their attack was give the ball to rashford and let him run at Aurier/Sissoko.

Who scored for United?

Other than Dele, Fred was better than any Spurs player last night. McTominay was tasked with stopping Kane which seems to have worked.

I've not watched the toffees in ages. But my wife has an amazon prime free trial so I watched the derby last night. And where better to vent than a cycling forum where no one gives a shit about the blues.

It was thoroughly depressing because as good as Liverpool were in attack, a half decent mid table defence (Wolves, Palace) would have limited them to 2 goals and a slightly more clinical attack could have scored 4. Our defence are so inept even long balls over the top caused us problems. At one point Mane is played through on goal and the player marking him in central defence is Bernard, fucking Bernard in central defence. He tries hopelessly to play him offside but it's clearly not in the repertoire of the tricky Brazilian midget. For the 5th goal we clear a corner and then, before actually gaining possession of the ball, Richarlison, Iwobi and Kean all belt it up the pitch leaving gaps all over the shop.

The whole team looks like a bunch of relatively decent players operating at about 70% in terms of commitment/application. It's like watching that Sunderland side of a few years back which was all ex-united players with alcohol/gambling problems and Steven Fletcher. We couldn't even be bothered to foul them properly. We've ditched/benched all the players who actually get the club, Baines, Coleman, Jagielka etc. and what any manager can do with a load of players that don't know what they're doing and aren't really arsed about it is anyone's guess. Fuck's sake. Actually Mason Holgate was half decent, so well done him 6/10. Alexander-Arnold and Robertson did a good job of being snide fuckers.

Yeah that cross field ping (sorry) was great

Dele goal was so nice I'm happy to see him playing with expression again. To even try that was brilliant 5 a side school yard goal.

was a great goal, and just what we needed before half time, and should have been the foundation for us kicking on and winning that game, if sissoko hadn't put out a foot for Rashford to fall over..
Still had the rest of the 2nd half to find an equalizer but we never looked like doing so..

Dele's making his way quickly back to his best, though this has been in the offing for a while now..

if sissoko hadn't put out a foot for Rashford to fall over.

cough and Harry Kane won that penalty by being clevercough

hold on corndog weren't spurs just a bit shit all round. and haven't you conceded two goals in every game so far with Mourinho. united weren't great last night but deserved the win.

anyway goal of the night goes to Origi's second or possibly Mane.

You can only beat what's in front of you jonny.
