That's because you didn't count the one near the end where he won it, lost it and then won it again immediately afterwards. It coutns as two even though it was practically the same incident.
Don't think Momo did too badly today. His shooting was abysmal (esepcially for a former striker ) but without his work and ball winning in midfield I think Chalrton would have hit us on the counter more times than they did.
Yea, what's up with that? The "he used to be a striker" myth is obviously a hoax. Played well today though. I kept track all through the game and he won the ball in midfield exactly 105,085 times.
A former Premiership defender told me that Carvalho is the dirtiest player he's ever had the displeasure to watch. Knows all the tricks in the book and gets away with it all.
Villa would be a good signing. Didn't really know anything about him when we were linked but since then I've seen him a handful of times for Valencia and he's looked the business. He'd be really expensive now though.
According to Micheal Laudrup's autobiography he was getting ready to go on a plane to Liverpool to sign the contract when they got a call that we ahd pulled out. He then joined Juve. IMO he's one of the best players in the world.
That move was class. Too bad the ref ordered to be retaken. I would like to see us try it again sometime. Preferably against a team who didn't watch that match. Oh and let the ref know about it in advance.
