I thought that too after he did the pose in the Chelsea game - to show the racist feckers that he is in control.

But he's done one again during the Huddersfield game, so my theory has kinda been smashed.

I reckon he's trying to create a unique goal celebration

I think that was probably the thinking behind the Chelsea one and then he's seen how much we all loved it so he's decided to carry it on. Its a total 'fuck you' to all the critics.

He probably knows. He's not one of those stereotypical dumb footballers.

And in the 21st century it's less religious and 'Hindu' and more universally practiced as an art for good posture etc.

I was at the cinema today and they played the Mo/Messi Pepsi ad. Brought home to me what a global phenomenon he is.

Not many people care about that.

Besides, I was just thinking he was a huge Dhalsim fan.

I don't normally like footballer ads, but I do like that one, perhaps because of the setting which is very evocative for me

He’s huge. A true global figure, and he handles it with modesty.

He's planning on bringing out a yoga DVD obviously. It's all PR.

I don't know what to make of his composure in big games to be honest. For some reason I was 100% sure he was gonna miss that chance, it's the kind of ball that I would only trust Firmino and Milner from our squad to put away. He and Mané are too erratic. They obviously have shown up in important games so I can't even put my finger on what's wrong.

Actually thought he was doing very well as a more classic winger in the first half, some lovely runs and turns that he often doesn't get the space to do in the PL. But when things went downhill I didn't expect him to change the tide...

You mean the Milner that had the entire goal to aim at 10 yards out and picked out Ter Stegen with pin point accuracy?

Milner has composure, not necessarily technique. You really just needed a cool-headed two-legged person to at least hit the target from where Salah was.

Milner's chance wasn't that easy, he and the ball were coming at speed and there was a dummy in there too.

tubby · « **Reply #9059 on:** May 1, 2019, 10:56:32 pm »

He played really well tonight and was a constant menace. Sometimes forwards miss what look like easy chances.

redprodigal · « **Reply #9060 on:** May 1, 2019, 10:58:32 pm »

Thought he was excellent tonight. Shame about that miss but he showed his class for most of the game.

I agree, especially in the first half. I think as they dropped deeper in the second he, understandably, found it tougher.

Yep. He was Messi like at times, but the miss was bad and may well prove to be decisive. So cruel.

robgomm · « **Reply #9063 on:** May 1, 2019, 11:33:24 pm »

He really played well, I think he just tried to get it over the heads of the Barca players on the line but it needed to go in. Such a shame. Thought he gave them hell, Lenglet couldn't cope with him and Alba had a hard time too.

deFacto please, you bastards · « **Reply #9064 on:** May 2, 2019, 12:13:07 am »

He played well so so so so unlucky with that finish at the end I can't believe it didnt go in.

Geppvindh's · « **Reply #9065 on:** May 2, 2019, 12:19:20 am »

That run he made from our own half in the first half was sensational. Shame he missed the chance at the end but couldn't have asked for more. You could only wonder how much more he could have contributed had he had Firmino and TAA alongside.

groove · « **Reply #9066 on:** May 2, 2019, 09:20:49 am »

The runs he was making in the first 20 minutes were brilliant. Barca were getting a taste of their own Messi-based medicine. Him and Sadio were great first half.

I think the chance is harder than it looks when you consider he basically has to hit the top corner with his wrong foot, first-time. I saw it only got the same xG as Sadio's chance in the first half. They were both only ~30%ers.

gamble · « **Reply #9067 on:** May 2, 2019, 09:23:54 am »

I’ve been a bit critical of Mo in the big games by not getting in the game enough but he was so in the mood last night and unlucky not to score. Wasn’t creatively our best night but still managed to cause them problems. Shame the scoreline is so huge now, at Anfield he is bound to cause Alba and Lenglet problems.

Wool · « **Reply #9068 on:** May 2, 2019, 09:25:02 am »

I thought he was excellent in the first half, they couldn’t live with him. Shame about the chance, hopefully he takes the ones he’ll get at Anfield next week. If he plays like that again, we can win.

Vinay · « **Reply #9071 on:** May 2, 2019, 09:47:00 am »

Lenglet didn't know what hit him. He was in tatters (both figuratively and literally).
Unlucky not to score. I am proud of him. What a player. And hopefully he stays with us for another 5 years at least.

Bar his miss, he was really good. Haven't seen him be that physical since the shoulder injury.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #9073 on:** May 2, 2019, 05:25:30 pm »

He started on fire last night. Mané was a threat too. Gutted with the timing of Bobby’s injury becauseone more presence in and around the box could have opened them up I reckon. Hopefully he’s back firing for Saturday.

Bread · « **Reply #9074 on:** May 2, 2019, 08:12:27 pm »

It's unfortunate that he missed that chance really, because it's overshadowed what was otherwise a wonderful performance. He'll know what a big chance that was to claw ourselves massively back into the tie too, but I'm sure he's mentally strong enough to shrug that off and go again.

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #9075 on:** May 2, 2019, 09:40:12 pm »

He was quality last night and I think that's what has left me so disappointed he missed that huge chance. Can't say I feel it was unlucky myself as I simply don't see how, but regardless overall he played really well and looked a constant threat

He looked absolutley fucked off after that miss, like "what the actual fuck has just happened?" Hopefully he can take that into the next game and spear the fuckers

Anyway... his season’s over now so they can relax and go bother someone else.
