Ref fucks up & costs us the city game, Carra barely acknowledges it & instead gives Wirtz it down the banks. Ref fucks up & costs us the Arsenal game, Carra seems mildly annoyed but goes on a tirade against Macca for trying to get a player sent off. Sensing a pattern?
The same pundits who are baffled that Isak didnβt appeal for a penalty when he has his shirt pulled are now baffled that Macca then tried to buy a sending off when Madueke put the head on him. The cognitive dissonance of the idiots who get paid to cover football is insane.
Carra licking Riceβs arse again calling him the best midfield player in the league, which is interesting considering Mac Allister was the best midfielder on the pitch today.
Smith/Puello nip & tuck, 115-113 either way wouldβve been fine, 116-112 Puello a slightly expansive scorecard for me.
Movsar super classy in defeat, and gave a perfect description of Volk:
βHeβs like good wine. Older, stronger, betterβ
βWhen youβre an elite wrestler your striking is betterβ
As weβre watching a second title fight in a row where the βelite wrestlerβ looks like shit on the feet because theyβre over reliant on their takedown attempts to establish threat.
The next time a UFC commentator explains why a fighterβs footwork is good instead of just stating that their footwork is good will be the first time
Merab threw a heavy leg kick into a check in the first round and every low kick that followed was noncommittal, he also threw a heavy overhand right that got caught on the point of his elbow & he didnβt want to throw it out there anymore. Even Yanβs defence hurts.
It was all Yan could do not to burst out laughing as he just picked off every shot from Merab with total ease in those last 2 rounds. I donβt know that thereβs ever been a better example in this sport of one fighter completely having their opponentβs number.
Round 3 was a clear Yan round, this commentary team trying to act like it was some sort of swing round is them saving face for the disgraceful announcing job they just did. If you scored that round for Merab you have no business being professionally employed to cover MMA.
