. . . and what happened in the subsequent plays? they could hardly get a down. What was the total time of possession for Indy again? 5mins?  smiley
Possession time is 14:53. and we scored on 5/8 drives. You can knock on our defence, but the O is doing fine.

bawomolo:
one lucky hot streak.

your offense stinks now that the edge and marvin harrison are gone.  The colts are ok but not as good as before.  Peyton manning is a bad man though.  fix your run D by the way
Offense is fine. They will only get better as the new guys get blend in to the system.
D should improve when Bob Sanders return, but till then, those guys are juts painful to watch on 3rd downs. They couldn't get off the field for their life.
It still quite incredible that a perennial playoff team, often has one of the worst run defense in the league.

last time I checked England isn't in Africa, just kidding

I would want to believe Villa is making progress under O'Neill, Liverpool finally really challenged for the premiership last season.
Just because other European Clubs fire their Managers all willy nilly, doesnt make it commendable. Little wonder the English Clubs are the ones that go furthest in Europe.
The point wasnt about whether it was beneficial to fire the coaches or not, but simply that the UK manager often enjoys a stability denied to their continental counterparts, and thus their results should be taken in that light.

I'm thinking only SAF & AW and maybe Moyes have enjoyed that stability.

If a coach stays long on job, surely he must be at least good at something.
Rafa 5yrs + at liverpool and no major trophy in the past 4yrs
Martin Oneil  3yrs + and nothing

In Europe, you would be fired without results.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Goal.com-sir Alex Ferguson Voted As The World Best Among Other Best Coach by biina: 6:01pm On Sep 22, 2009
While a case can be made for SAF being the best manager, he is definitely not the best coach. The likes of Capello, Lippi, Hiddink, Hitzfeld, Van Gaal, and even Mourinho, are clearly better.
SAF, like most EPL managers, has always had the benefit of long term stability.
But then the club structure in most UK clubs is different from what they have in Europe. So one can argue that SAF is the best guy for his type of job, but I dont see him being successful outside of UK or with a national team.

U have to wait for the ref's match report to say that. He may have some justification for that  cheesy  Hey, Fergie's cold stare and impending 'air dryer treatment is justification enough. cheesy

Seriously tho, the extra minutes that were added was to the advantage of both teams, only one team took advantage of that.
Given that the additional minutes were added when the ball was in the Citeh half, there is nothing to say (or otherwise) that the ref would have added same if the situation were reversed.
Like I said it was simply a bad call, and does not mean the ref was in collusion with SAF.

On the upside, the loss gives Citeh a reality check, and lets them know that there is still much work to be done, cos on strength of play, ManU deserved the win.

chamotex:
City came to play no doubt.
They literally out-played us for most of the first half.
They were actually better than I thought.

But YOU and I know that time added on is meant to be a minimum.
It's just that it went for UTD today.
A couple of minutes over isn't that extreme. It wasn't like he added an extra 5 minutes.

It has benefitted a lot of teams in the past and vice versa
Stoppage time is used to compensate for time lost due to injuries and substitutions (with 30 seconds for the latter). The time displayed at the end of the half, is the additional minutes the ref intends to add at that point. Any additional minutes would be due to occurrences during the stoppage time (hence why it is called a minimum).

He was supposed to add 30s for the substitution. There were no incidences to justify the additional 2min+ added by the ref. A 4min stoppage time being extended to 8min is extreme. It was a bad call.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Vs Man City: 4-3 (20 September, 2009) by biina: 4:24pm On Sep 20, 2009
People should stop trying to justify an additional 2min+ of stoppage time by a lone substitution. In fact, it is a common tactic to try wasting the stoppage time by making substitutions.
The referee erred by adding that much minutes. It does not mean he was in collusion with SAF.
I doubt anyone would argue that ManU had the best of the second half, nor would they complain had the match ended 3-2, given the tide of the game at that point.
But please learn to call a spade a spade, and not let your fan boism override your sense of fair play
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Vs Man City: 4-3 (20 September, 2009) by biina: 4:03pm On Sep 20, 2009
A bad call is a bad call, irrespective of who benefits. Saying otherwise is hypocrisy.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester City Fan Thread!! by biina: 3:59pm On Sep 20, 2009
The only thing bitter is the way we lost. ManU dominated in the second half and derserved to win on strength of play, but adding 8mins of injury time was just daylight robbery.
As to the match itself, it just like any other loss: 3pts missed. We are still on pace with everyone (except possibly Chelsea)
Ade will soon be back, along with Roque, and we are on course for a top 4 finish, with a possible run at the title.

haha. . yeah. but they beat us on their turf.They came back from two goals down to win 4-3. Was a classic game. Atletico has the worst defense known to man. they concede goals like there is no tomorrow. Everybody and their grandmother scores against them. Espanyol during the derby are a different animal. they play as though possessed
Their 4-3 win in madrid was due to luck and Barca taking their foot off the pedal. They are the most useless team in la liga. No wonder they couldn't beat APOEL in the CL.
Even Sporting Gijon gave a more respectful perfomance.
See Pathetico and Espanyol, both in the relegation zone.

Zonal marking has the theoretical potential of being very effective, but its practical implementation usually leaves a lot to be desired e.g.
- the opposition can create a mismatch by putting their best threat in the zone of your weakest defender
- reaction to second balls across the box and change of angles by a CK taken short often present problems as the importance of different zones depends on the angle of delivery and your player will likely have little time to reorganize.
- Players are by nature man markers and tend to react to players, and when asked to follow the ball, could follow it out of their zone.
- since the zones are not delineated physically, it some times leads to confusion with two people going for the same ball or no one going for it

This does not mean that man marking doesn't have its own problems e.g the ease of opposition to lose their markers as everyone is jostling, and the risk of a penalty for the confusion.

For me the best approach is an hybrid, in which you use your key aerial defenders (usually CBs) to man mark the key 1-3 opposing threats (e.g. main striker and CBs) and apply zonal marking to the rest.

we tried as much as we could to keep Alonso. he wanted to leave. so we had no choice. so selling him was not what we wanted. so we made no mistakes. Aquilani will be fit soon,I'm sure he will make u shut the Bleep up.
Rafa tried to sell him the previous summer and for two summer pursued Barry. The die has been cast since then. Alonso was going to leave at the first quality offer that came.
Even when fit, Aquilanni is not of the same quality of Alonso. He is a 25yr old that still showing potential and is yet to deliver on his promise.

we dont do zonal marking everytime we playe. knee jerkers blame zonal marking everythime we let in a goal from a corner.
Rafa is a strong proponent of zonal marking (even from his days as a youth coach in Madrid), and Liverpool plays Zonal defence on all wide set pieces and corner kicks.

it is obvious u know nothing about what u saying, so i suggest u shut up .
being a fan should not equal being delusional.
Selling Alonso and buying Aquilani has made liverpool a weaker team. It is obvious that Lucas is not as good as Alonso, and Aquilani is yet to play his first game.
