Mind you, this performance is coming without Boniface, Palacios and Kossounou, while Hoffman and Frimpong only came off the bench.

Leverkusen remain unbeaten in all competitions.

We're entering the middle of February.

BlueMann:
He's actually a wing back, since they play with a back three. 10 goals and 11 assists in around 30 games is crazy.

Speaking of devastating wingbacks, Grimaldo's partner in crime, Frimpong has come on. No respite for Bayern

Frimpong adds his name to the score sheet. He too has had a fantastic season

FRIMPONGGG!!! WHAT A GOAL!

See as these Leverkusen boys dey do one touch. Sexy stuff.

Inter hand De Rossi his first loss as Roma manager. They're now seven points clear at the top of the Seria A.

Excallibur:
lol I thought that guy is a midfielder

Madrid with a demolition job. Now five points ahead, plus a much better goals difference.

Girona will probably get a top four finish, but na Madrid get this title

Leverkusen strike again, and no surprise it's Europe's most devastating full/wing back Grimaldo with the goal.

Inter have now come from behind to lead Roma. Much better second half display. Thuram amongst the goals.

Be like say Real Madrid Sabi beat Girona

Leverkusen are ahead

Lookout for Thuram, that was a free transfer strong reasonably fast possibly with not too big wages. His partnership with Lautaro has been productive

Yup, Thuram has been a fantastic signing for Inter. Slotted nicely in place of Lukaku.

Meanwhile, DDR's Roma looking real good. They now lead 2-1 at halftime.

Roma/inter underway. Girona/Real and Bayer/Bayern up next in less than 30 mins.

What a buffet.

afrodoc2:
Lamptey has lost his blistering pace. What a shame.

I noticed. A shame indeed.

Let's see what happens if he stays fit for an extended period of time.

Spurs win it at the death!

Brighton vs Spurs is a guarantee for excitement. The rate at which they are turning the ball over is crazy

Leyqute:
Brushed him off like a pack of cigarettes

E don reduce the guy price tag

Damn...look what Haaland did to Branthwaite

KDB assist

Haaland back at it

Doku na problem

I disagree.

2 of the penalties we scored yesterday were to the middle, the one by Omeruo he waited for the keeper to move before placing it. A keeper that follows the ball will have a higher chance of stopping those

The only ones you won't have a chance at are those placed well on the side and with pace but because of the match tension those ones can still go out of goal

Most penalty shooters depend on keeper moving first that's why many adopt the stutter step

It depends. That's why as a keeper, you have to do your assignment. That method of follow the ball only works if the kicker focuses on placing the ball. If not, the goalie has to gamble.

Another method is taking a gamble based off body language perception, but with a bit of mind games; the goalie feigns a dive in one direction and ends up going the other way. This is probably the best method for unpredictable takers who equally favors placing the ball or hitting it with power. If the kicker is a "stutterer", the goalie's feint may make up the kicker's mind. If he is a power shooter with an already decided trajectory...well at least the goalie would dive before the shot is taken.

This method is delicate cos the goalie could shift his weight too much while faking the dive, and would be unable to dive in his preferred direction quick enough. The goalie might even confuse himself in a bid to fake a dive and confuse the opponent.

One person who does this well is Emi Martinez

Meanwhile, we face Leeds in the RO16
