frmr Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 A nothing story, but even when Phonzie said he was ready, I was only cautiously optimistic. I'll wait until I see the team sheet. The Beaver 2.0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have a view on this site as a source? This article is being spammed all over Twitter. Where's the picture? Who's this source? "Presumably" clutching his leg? I dunno...seems pretty clickbaity imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) If he actually re injured the hamstring he wouldn’t have returned to training seconds later as the article indicates, and it’s tough to see that the team (including Davies) would be in such a jovial mood as the video on the bus released post training shows.

Gian-Luca Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Herdman has apparently confirmed at today’s press conference that Davies hit full speed in training yesterday, according to Scianitti on Twitter.

But he's still playing 5D chess. So this means that he wants the Belgians to prepare for playing against Davies when in fact Davies will be rested and Davies' opposite (I'm guessing....Pantemis?) will be marauding up and down the left side. They'll never see it coming! sstackho and jhoops__ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebdeserio Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 All the talk about Cavallini taking a pen against Japan "to hide our penalty takers". Whoever decided that Davies takes the pen over David/Vitoria/Hoilett they played a significant part in this loss. Should never take a pen against a team that isn't the Cayman Islands/Aruba level again. Dominic94 and MtlMario 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpg_29 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Having re-watched it I think he struck it hard enough it's just the placement wasn't good. Also get the feeling Courtois read him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) I feel bad for him, I know how much that goal would have meant. Under this level of pressure in any circumstance I’m convinced the best approach is to blast it right down the middle after feigning one side or the other.

Said this to a friend before he took it. Especially on Courtois who can basically reach the corner anyway when he guesses correctly, and knowing you're not the guy who's going to place it there.
