Robertson was also in no mans land on the left which allowed the cross to come in - from one replay angle he wasn't even on the screen when the ball was initially collected out wide and then about 15 yards off the pace getting back. They said before the game that if Liverpool was to concede it would come from them pressing too high on the wings and that's exactly what happened.

Real Madrid were brilliant last night! Weathered a big Liverpool storm first half, remained composed throughout, defended really well and passed the ball around superbly. Courtois made some outstanding saves and although they've rode their luck a few times getting to the final, Real had the hardest run in by far and never gave up in any game or panicked. Their experience and quality always came through. Liverpool have had 3 cup finals with 330 minutes of action but have failed to score in any of them. They really lacked a cutting edge last night despite carving out many chances and being thwarted by the keeper. Klopp should've started Firmino over Diaz and I thought Mane was ineffective down the middle. Salah could've bagged a treble but he really lacked his clinical firepower in front of goal. Luka Modric was also unreal - 36 and he's still running the show like that. Just incredible to watch! Carvajal was also sensational at right back especially going forward and Vinicius looks a real prospect. I think TAA is out of his depth as a right wing back for Liverpool though and maybe he should focus on being a midfielder instead.

BAH HAHAHA HAAAAA!

Further development on Hazard Zone has ceased - as to be one of the worst mode implementations ever! It was leaked back around December that the game mode was deemed internally 'dead' with only a handful of players, less than one hour of retention and the few that played it only trying it once. So much for BF's attempt at Tarkov filler.

Comes out October 28th

Violation from Specsavers

Insane day of football and although it finished as expected, the way it played out was pretty insane. Gerrard blows it again for LIverpool, this time as a manager🤣 Relieved Spurs got 4th and all those nerves this week were pretty much not warranted in the end - I was dreading a 1-0 defeat for some reason. Leeds probably did deserve to stay up despite a woeful season because the FA made them play many games with covid absences yet Arsenal had one case and they got the Spurs game postponed - something they really regretted as they had a weaker team available come the rearranged fixture!

Kylian Mbappe signs 3 year contract with PSG after all that moving drama. I bet Real Madrid are peeved! Not sure why he wanted to stay in the French League - I know there's been some recent political pressure from Macron and Qatar but even so, he's signed away any chance of developing further on the European stage and will remain in a one-horse race league.

Doesn't need much of an introduction but.. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

I really like Techland although I haven't got round to Dying Light 2 yet and the general consensus that it isn't as good as the first. If they are going to make a full-fledged RPG then they need to hire some decent writers as this Bethesda-esque 2005 approach will not suffice. They got away with it with Dead Island and Dying Light because those games were more about fun mechanics rather than something narrative-driven but they will probably need to step it up if they want to go deeper into genres. A new engine will be needed too.

The biggest slip since Gerrard v Chelsea

Stunning and Brave!

I also forgot to mention that Activision even blocked their API because users were reverse-engineering match data to determine the algorithms in play for a specimen pool of users. Not only was their framework blocked, that information was also bound to a desist order. Basically Activision going to extraordinary lengths to cover up their matchmaking processes. MW2 had the best matchmaking because it was random and based purely on connection. I loved going into matches and not knowing what to expect. Black Ops 1 was also very good with the extended option of choosing locale only. Developers have claimed that these two games also had SBMM but that's total bullshit as my lobbies were always varied especially in BO1 when you could literally see leaderboards going into games and combat records too. Matchmaking should be simple and to benefit connection as a priority but Activision make it all about money and psychology. Sadly it works.

This kinda came out of nowhere and has just launched in early access. Supposed to be a bridge between Arma 3 and the upcoming Arma 4 whenever that is available Arma Reforger on Steam STORE.STEAMPOWERED.COM Experience authentic Cold War combat and join friends in the struggle for a sprawling, 51 km² mid-Atlantic island — or take on the role of Game Master and create your very own scenarios for others to enjoy. Gonna do some research on it because Bohemia + early access = scares me.

That's what they want people to think but it's actually a form of monetised matchmaking that manipulates gameplay and your connection to either get users spending more on microtransactions or increase player retention. SBMM did live up to the name a few years ago but now it's all about fake ping, phantom connection issues, inflated lag compensation and heavily curated lobbies that will always disperse once a match completes. Cold War showcased this the best for me - I'd have one epic game, a good game and then an absolute nightmare. I could go 40-5 hitting everything and then 7-28 not being able to land a shot and feeling like I was always behind the play. Just when I was ready to rage quit, I'd have a blinder and then continue playing only to get trapped in the cycle. Other players get roped into buying P2W guns and are deliberately matched into lobbies where users might be using them. There was patented concept sheets leaked a few years ago about this that people have forgotten about and it's already well in motion without most realising. Only way to really get round it is tank your K/D with a burner account and then join it with your main to reverse boost like every YouTuber but that's no fun. Connection-based matchmaking will never return with Crooktivision at the helm. Matchmaking and matches in general are rigged which is why the fun is sapped out of many of the games in recent years. Activision even DMCA'd most of the videos that studied extracted datamined material of their matchmaking processes and from what I remember, skill is literally the last thing that matters now unless you are a gutter-ability player.

Top 4 race has turned spectacularly! I can still see Spurs losing 1-0 away at Norwich on the last day though🤣 Been such a strange season as I don't feel anyone outside of the top two have done all that well - no consistency anywhere and plenty of silly results. Glad Spurs have turned a corner and are beginning to form some identity but they need to seal that final spot and then really back Conte through the summer. Bet Arsenal are really regretting giving Arteta that two year deal last month! I've had money on Leeds going down all season but there could be even more twists at the bottom and top too so the weekend should be very exciting!
