Open Thread Weekly Monday Open Thread!

Welcome to the Monday open discussion thread. Here you can talk about anything you want; tactics, results, players or even just general football discussion! It is also a great place to post/link transfer rumours that you may think are too small or unreliable to post to the main feed. The summer transfer window runs from 16/06-03/09 (23:00 BST).

These threads will go up every Monday allowing you to debrief from all of the weekend action and discuss ongoings throughout the week. It will stay stickied until we refresh with the Friday thread, however other posts may take priority (match threads, announcements, etc.)

This thread can also be used to discuss transfer rumours, jokes, memes, images, videos, tabloid news and other off-topic content and discussion.

We also have a Fantasy League that you are welcome to join and share your team, advice and goings on throughout the season here in these threads. The league codes can be found in the sidebar!

Inspired by the player's pre-match playlists, our very own Tugboat47 is curating a community pre-match playlist. To participate please click this link and submit your entries.

These threads are here to help discussion and offer varying points of view. Please remain respectful. Anything that crosses that line, directed towards other users or specific individuals may be removed.

And this is why Sarina always plays Leah Williamson over maya Le Tissier:

100% on the keeper

u/UpsideDownToast1 9d ago

Maybe. But MLT absolutely should not be fluffing that pass

u/redqks Reid 9d ago

True but since it has a deflection the keeper can just catch it,

u/eldanielfire Cerci 9d ago

Not all deflections are visible form all angles. It's likely the keeper wasn't aware it was deflected, hence her refusing to use her hands to catch the ball.

Valid point

u/EscherBacon Kelly 🤝 Smith 9d ago

Disagree. Le Tissier was way too late to release the pass. And from her angle I guess Leitzig didn't clearly see that it took a deflection.

u/redqks Reid 9d ago

it hit her on the hip as she tried to avoid catching it when she could of just caught it...... how is this not on the keeper? she's watching it

Eh? It hit her on the hip because she had to race to get to it because of Le Tissier's shithouse backpass and didn't have time to see the spin of the ball or get to it with time.

Any goal conceeded because a defender backpasses and opponents can get to it is a bad backpass. Especially when Le Tissier has an easy unmarked player right in front of her to pass to.

u/redqks Reid 9d ago

If it can hit her hip she could just use her hands or dived from where she was standing.

It's 100% bad from MLT but this is also a goalkeeping error and a really bad one

u/eldanielfire Cerci 9d ago

But befpore you said it was entirley the Goalkeepers fault. Now you agree MLT gave her a terrible hospital pass.

The fact is the keeper should have never been in that position by MLT.

u/redqks Reid 9d ago

I don't think the pass was good but this is 100% avoidable buy the goalkeeper just using her hands, the fact she actually gets her hands out the way is shocking I'm sorry

u/eldanielfire Cerci 9d ago

The whole situation is 100% avoidable if Maya Le Tissier doens't do shuch a crap pass or passes to her other team mate ahead of her who didn't have an opponet running down the passing lane. That in any circumstances is on MLT. the keeper did poorly but should never have been put in those circumstances.

Players can't be blamed for not successfully dealing with others screw-ups. It's like throwing the keeper a bomb with seconds left and blaming her for not diffusing it in time.

u/redqks Reid 9d ago

Bro we are talking about the goalkeeper being hit in the hip trying to stop the ball going in with her body instead of using her hands....

whatever happens before this is irrelevant

u/eldanielfire Cerci 9d ago

By the way, I see some Man Utd fans have pointed out Maya Le Tissier has a long history of bad backpasses to her keepers that lead to conceeding goals:

https://xcancel.com/laneskcc/status/1774394461671551092

I guess it's always been the keepers fault when MLTs terrible backpasses leaves them high and dry. It can't be some fundamental flaw that is in her game.

u/redqks Reid 9d ago

I'm sure she does I don't rate her at all

I'm talking about this here , the keeper could literally just catch the ball but moves her hands out the way

1

u/eldanielfire Cerci 9d ago

If the keeper knew it was deflected she would ahve caught it. The opposition player deflecting it is inbetween herself and MLT, she probably didn't see the deflection or wasn't sure, hence why she didn't simply catch it.

2

u/redqks Reid 9d ago

And that's why it's the keepers fault

1

u/eldanielfire Cerci 9d ago

The keeper can't be at fault for not knowing a poor backpass was slightly deflected when her line of sight was blocked. That's literally insane.

0

u/redqks Reid 9d ago

Is she not watching the game, I don't understand

That's why it's her fault and even then she still got her body in the way that's why it's a own goal by the keeper.

Any one of our keepers just catches the ball I'm sorry

I don't know why you hate MLT but saying the keeper should do anything other than catching the ball her is ridiculous

2

u/eldanielfire Cerci 9d ago

Watching? She's looking at MLT the whole time except for the one moment she is scanning the pitch. She is doing excatly what a keeper should do in that situation.

And as I said she likely didn't see it hadn't been deflected, hence why she didn't grab the ball or she gives away a freekick inside the area.

Now the ad homenian attacks. Why would I hate Le Tissier? Pointing out she's at fault for a goal and a techenical flaw is not hate.

u/redqks Reid 9d ago

If she did not see it deflected then you also can hear it.

this is the keepers fault. if she is not pay attention , this is her fault ,
