What a disappointing weekend of football!
Oh what a terrible weekend for me as a football fan!
Barcelona. Oh barca barca barca!
Barcelona were wasteful as ever, AGAIN and were held to a 1-1 draw after taking the lead. In all fairness, we played really really well that day. Frenkie de Jong and Pedri were absolute monsters and created some clearcut goalscoring opportunities but our Lord Lewa was there to squander it all!
It is ridiculous at this point. We have Marc Guiu who comes on and needs live 5 minutes to score a goal but yet Xavi just can not seem to drop Lewandowski. THIS is on Xavi himself. We can go on all about the team played well and we created chances and the strikers not scoring is not xavi's fault. Sure.
But, not dropping a lackluster Lewandowski when we have an in form hungry kid on the bench IS ON XAVI. This is 100% Xavi's fault.
Even thinking about Barcelona makes my blood boil now. So let's move on to Liverpool.
Liverpool spoils their own chances and misses out on top spot!
Oh wait! Liverpool makes my blood boil too!
I mean jeez!
How often do you get Manchester city dropping points left and right! This was as good an opportunity for Liverpool as ever to create clear daylight between them and Man City at the top of the table! All they had to do was beat an out of form, out of Man Utd.
But oh no! We drew against them and in all fairness, we could have actually lost! Despite Liverpool playing very good, it was Man Utd who had the most dangerous 2 opportunities of the game. Playing well means Jac squat if you don't score goals. And hence, with their win against Brighton, Arsenal go on top the points table.
All is not yet lost however as we face Arsenal next and a win in that game will take us two points clear at the top.
But I have to ask myself, If we couldn't beat THIS misfiring Man Utd team, AT ANFIELD - how on earth do we stand a chance against an in for, firing on all cylinders Arsenal?
It is really becoming quite tiring to take this disappointment week in week out.
Maybe I should just stop watching football for a while and switch to watching cricket for the time being.
Oh right, bot the teams I support in cricket are also getting hammered!
Its been some time since I watch a Barca game and this weekend was checking La Liga standings, dam 7 points behind RM and not many hopes at champions but would be nice to win La Liga ✌️
