I'm so confused. WTF are we doing? Why are we trying to cross to no one? Why can't Saka beat anyone and why doesn't he even have a shot on target? It's nowhere near good enough

Saka is repeatedly beating people, but PSG is sitting very deep so as soon as Saka beats one person there's another one in his way.

Officially he has 1 key pass and 2 successful dribbles. Please tell me again how he's repeatedly beating people.

How many crosses does he have?

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

2 accurate crosses

Yeah, Saka just sucks, right?

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He just didn't have a good game.

You should have watched the game against PSG instead of whatever you were watching. In the game that just aired, he almost scored an incredible goal, then scored one, then almost got another one after that.

Who is he beating? Maybe you're watching a different game to me, because I see him failing to progress and ultimately passing backwards, sideways or crossing to absolutely no one hoping for the best.

He's beating whoever's in front of him. Are you sure you're not watching a different sport entirely? The problem isn't that he can't beat his marker, it's that he can't beat the next player, and he's often forced into a cross that nobody's attacking.

He had two successful take ons in 90 minutes. If you want to argue that we shouldn't use that as a metric to judge his performance, then that's fine. But if I say something and the data backs me up, telling me I'm wrong because you're upset is crazy.

You'd probably enjoy things more if you watched the game instead of just the stats.

You're a really weird guy. Lemmy isn't Reddit. We're not trying to be angry dickheads here. It's a community. People are allowed to disagree with you.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not angry, just confused as to why you weren't watching the game.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Ugh! Please go away.

Why?
