I wonder how this relates to non-CW football fans. I'd guess there'd be some double standards in the average fan's view of it (horrible and dirty if against their team, smart and calculating if for their team).

Which makes it all the more fun I'm advocating it against my own player/a Utd player.
If I was Klopp (and my record on FM makes me firmly believe I could be), I'd be pointing out all 3 Utd subs are used, and Rashford is limping, so I'd be saying 'Don't let him run it off' and leaving it at that. I'd expect my players to understand that means if Rashford gets the ball in a non threatening area with his back to goal, make sure the snidey tackle goes through that ankle. Likewise if you have to pull a tactical trip on him making a run, clip the knackered left etc. Put the doubt in his mind, make him wonder when the next blows coming. If he limps off, nice, if not, then mentally take him out of the game.
I'm basically saying I advocate Pulisball. Kill. Me.

I'd actually be very surprised if this turned out to be true.
Edit: Assuming Sarri isn't about to be sacked. Which he probably is.

It was his saying it was as bad as winding someone up that I disagreed with. It's definitely worse.
Wouldn't stop me having a fly kick at someone if I thought I could get away with it.

Yeah that is true.
I think it backfires more often than not. Adrenaline is the best painkiller and feeling like the opposition are trying to make your injury worse really gets it pumping. It can really get a reaction out of the rest of the team too. But it's what everybody does.

BARNES OUT
Fell asleep at half-time in ET (it was 5:30am, give me a break). What a wild ending. Glad big Willy didn't come on though.
Can't remember last time City lost a penalty shootout. Last three I remember beating Leicester twice and Liverpool in the final a few years ago.
EDIT: Just saw on Twitter that they've won their last 6 shootouts. Wild.

Aguero actually cringing after Kepa failed to save his penalty was hilarious

It has always been this amongst sensible people. Lots of people have just been in denial about it.

Corrin, for one. I know when I met him in Liverpool back in 2012 that, although he maintained he was a Tranmere fan, he seemed very keen on looking around the Liverpool One fan store.
Incidentally, as most people who post on here no doubt know, the Everton fan store is but a few doors down in the same mall, and is of course called....
Everton Two.

The Kepa situation yesterday was nothing short of farcical the unacceptable face of modern football. Showed no respect for his manager but did show a huge amount of arrogance. The dressing room at Chelsea must be in total disarray & it's clear there's player power afoot. Apparently a player is under no obligation to come off the field when his numbers up, it's just usually the accepted thing to do. I would imagine Sarri won't be manager much longer.
