Coventry - v - Leeds United *** Matchday Thread***

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

All good points Orgs but football at the top level seems increasingly prone to follow trends and vogues and the punching one caught hold a while back and won’t let go.

The likes of Southall, Seaman, Beasant, Crossley and those you mention for us all were good at clearing out oooo players when going for the ball and made their physical presence felt.

Maybe the use your feet trend applies to corners too 👀😎🤣

I don’t think many of the younger ‘keepers have been coached to either come out or even actively catch high balls played into the box, which is a bit strange given that the modern game frowns upon almost any contact on them by the opposition.

Meslier is still young in goalkeeping years.

He’s also 6ft6’’, without jumping.

I have slept, got up and had breakfast. Drinking tea right now. And I am still miserable.

Lol

Me too, and it’s my (and the dog in the picture’s) birthday!

More grumpy than miserable?

Watching United Liverpool. 0-1 at the moment. I am feeling slightly more optimistic thinking about our next match. Need to win.
