[Football] MOTD

[Brok]

The sound problems make it sound like the games are bring played during the onset of an alien invasion

I sincerely hope that when Mitomas goal is voted goal of the month, that the Beeb have sorted out the sound problems.

Despite all the "old-man shouting at a cloud" rubbish on this thread, Match of the Day is great and we don't know how lucky we have it. It's a live programme that showcases extended highlights of all the day's Premier League games with good, exclusive commentary. The analysis is surface level, but what more do you want? Nobody's got time for the show to be longer and less inclusive with more in-depth analysis and the turnaround time from the final game to broadcast doesn't really leave much opportunity to go that deep. No adverts breaking it up, eminently watchable TV and the running order means if there are a bunch of duff games, you don't have to sit through them to get to the good stuff.

Long live Match of the Day!

I agree. The thought I would have would be, in those week's where there's only weekend fixtures, wouldn't it be great to have a midweek MOTD show that's entirely focussed on analysis? Could be quite a varied show - a week where they pick a single team and drill down into tactics ("Here's why De Zerbi's Brighton are so good!" and the opposite "Here's why Chelsea are struggling despite having brilliant individual players..."), or deep-dive into controversial referee / VAR decisions across the weekend, or dissect why 3-4 players are so, so good that they're key to lifting their teams etc etc.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Harsh red card for Mac Allister IMO.

 

[raymondo]

Possibly because Lineker stated last week that spurs should get him in ( Mitoma ] and was instructed or advised don't do it again.

I thought that was Ferguson...maybe both!

 

[Farehamseagull]

Kompany deserves to lose. Wearing a cap with a suit is an absolute no no.

 

[Bodian]

Burnley defence - appalling.

 

[kevo]

Bloody hell, what do we have to do to get on first? Instead they choose a one-sided away banker.

Edit: Not even on second.

 

[macbeth]

i am absolutely tempting fate here but watching how expansive burnley are, i cannot wait for us to play them

 

[Hugo Rune]

It’s bed time. Where the **** is the best game of the day against two Top Six?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Burnley defence - appalling.

They are trying to play like us.

Whilst I admire that and wanted them to beat Spuds………it’s suicide.

 

[Hugo Rune]

“..from the moment Caicedo lost the ball, they were in trouble..”

I loved Caicedo. He is blowing his whole career. It’s horrific.

 

[The Fits]

What are they trying to do Chelsea? Looks like give Sterling the ball or take long-range punts.

 

[fruitnveg]

I maintain Chelsea will only be marginally better than 12th this season, especially when the locals hound out Poch.

 

[Carlos BC]

What are they trying to do Chelsea? Looks like give Sterling the ball or take long-range punts.

I love seeing them doing so shit.

 

[The Fits]

When you watch these highlights of other teams (and other matches live) you realise how radical RDZ is.
We don't defend like these teams. We don't give the opposition these positions on the pitch.
It's like watching an entirely different sport.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Kompany deserves to lose. Wearing a cap with a suit is an absolute no no.

And trainers, also a no no with a suit.

 

[kevo]

The decision for the second City goal is an outrage.

 

[Hugo Rune]

The decision for the second City goal is an outrage.

Yes. But absolutely no surprise and perfectly normal for a team like Man City.

 

[Farehamseagull]

The decision for the second City goal is an outrage.

It is astounding it wasn’t disallowed on review. Incredible incompetence. These people running VAR have absolutely no clue about football and have clearly never played the game.

 

[kevo]

Yes. But absolutely no surprise and perfectly normal for a team like Man City.

Said it before, the decisions the big six get must be worth an extra 5-10 points a season.
