I'm on McGill but didn't like the way he lost focus against Lis. Smiling and playing poorly, hitting wrong balls etc
It's like he ups a gear when threatened but I want him to crush his oppos for my health's sake. |
|
By:
Some good analysis. The conditions must be playing a oart in the rise of Si and Jones... Good to see Luca keeping his end up here...
|

|
|
By:
Yeah, a few unfirced errors from McGill in the later stages...
|
|
By:
Im not sure he has the ruthless killer aspect needed to prevail overall.
|
|
By:
McGill fell over the line after playing beautifully early on. His ball striking was poetry taking that big lead, imo
Some players would be reluctant to criticise their "bottle/killer instinct" on tv and I reckon McGill would be some such player. Total guesswork on my part, but I was sure he will crush Si but I'm not so sure now so have laid off some LTT green. |
|
By:
Luca looks like he's shot his bolt already
|
|
By:
Wow, Tubbs on 100% pot success and 3-2 down!
|
|
By:
I just wonder whether Si, as a repeesentative of an embattled Chinese snooker community, is on a mission. He is flying the flag here. Surely Ding is in his ear guiding the youngster through his campaign.

Feck me, Luca

By:
Feck off, table!
|
|
By:
Wow, Ronnie fouls the black! Luca can steal
|
|
By:
He can't!
|
|
By:
frame backers get away with that one - odd frame
|
|
By:
Jak going to stewing over those missed chances for rest of afternoon i think
|
|
By:
That long yellow from Jones in frame 8 - superb. However, 2 relatively gettable pots missed... Allen takes it to level up...
|
|
By:
Brecel is a waste of space just like lisowski, some things will never change.It's
JJ should be two up, played well enough to be, didn't convert. I don't see Allen pulling away. McGill hasn't found a rubbish session yet, I feel he will. In a nutshell theses outsiders will be worth checking trading and keeping inside as I see both games being to and fro( JJ Si). |

By:
In the other game, Selby will need to improve.
|
|
By:
Keeping onside* ffs
|

By:
6/5 now O'Sullivan the same old predictable every year,works a treat will be ods on after this match imagine if Jak Jones got through
not one person is going to even turn up against him,will be the easiest draw and win he's ever had.. |
|
By:
The Lucamotion has been fully derailed...
|
|
By:
Sorry. Couldn't resist that one :)
|
|
By:
Yes agree the giggilo, could be the easiest for Ronniem, yet he should have had Ding, Williams, murphy or trump and selby according to seedings
|
|
By:
This season, Higg has won 55.3% of all frames played. Selby is at 55.47%.
|
|
By:
McGill is at 56.5 and Si is at 53.33%
On those stats, McGill and Selby go through. |
|
By:
Trump,Bingham, Wilson, Ding (x 2), Maguire, Fu, Murphy
The list of players who McGill has lost to at the crucible. All ranked higher with exception of Bingham and Mags. Latter is the only real blip in his history here i would say. Personally i wouldn't be worried about ending of last night's match, the pedigree is there and while I'm not saying Si can't win, he doesn't fit the profile of a player McGill loses to and it will be a shock to me if he does. |
|
By:
Though should add you can say Jamie Clarke probsbly didn't fit profile either and he could and maybe should have beaten mcgill! Still, over the years it's a decent pedigree for me.

By:
Epic steal a possibility here
|
|
By:
Gladiatorial stuff here... Some start...
|
|
By:
Brilliant first frame that. Selby probably should have taken the pot on mind you!
|
|
By:
Please please keep nasal face out of the comms
|
|
By:
Can't believe selby refused the pot to top pocket, Higgins went for 3 way more difficult than that and landed the last one
|
|
By:
Higgins cueing pure
Just saw So fluke, shouldn't go in those. God get Kyren the nasal off my screen |
