Just moments before that, they were talking about how he looked ready to be subbed off. He had turned away from the pressure and had ample time to make that pass, just got lag from fatigue-brain in that moment.
Seeing all these keepers make these incredible 1v1 saves to save their teams in big moments (this, Dibu against Kolo Muani), I'm so annoyed at Mignolet for not saving Gerrard there, man.
Think it's because all of them targeted the corner, so they had the leg save. Demba Ba megged Mignolet iirc, very hard to defend basically a wide open goal.
I was thinking after watching the group stage how Pepe was still playing so incredibly solid at this time in his career. But 110 min is a loong game to play at this level.
Yeah I think Pepe should play in every hard game (pretty much every game from now on), but in these games where we are attacking all the time and playing a high line we needed someone else
Pepe has been having a great Euros so far, poor 45 minutes at the start today and one major error and people are calling him old.
Carried hard against Turkey, on the other hand some of the youngsters haven't had a decent half, let alone a game.
Honestly I don't get the hype for him I mean, sure he is young and has some skills but the amount of player that were like him and didn't keep with the hype is higher than the player who eventually turn world class. I feel like he will become a decent player but never a superstar. Similar to Schick let's say
FenĂłmeno is on record saying that the easiest time on the field is when you are one on one with the keeper, but most players donât trave that easy and composure.
Lol, calm fucking down, he's 21 and has been torching it up at Leipzig the past few months, but you're willing to write him off because of four subpar games with a massive underdog at the Euros? I don't think you deserve him anyway then ...
This is the kind of play where you want to see every person's reaction when he lost it and when Costa saved it. Just look at Ruben Dias tense up like crazy.
Itâs insane that if Sesko flicks it to the left instead of right, this Reddit, world headlines everywhere, would be talking about the astounding success of the Slovenian team.
But he nips it into Diogo Costaâs boot and now itâs all about Portugal pulling out the win.
The exact same 115 minutes of football, extremely different narratives, because of a few centimeters on the pitch.
This happens frequently but it always blows my mind.
