FFS man, absolute agony

Fucking dying here, like. This is such a massive 15 mins

Tbh, anyone that needs an analogy to understand that Mike Ashley is at fault for our current predicament is thick as fuck and not worth the bother.

So in your eyes hes basically untouchable if he takes us down whos fault is it then? WHAT!? Are you serious?

Writing off new owners already

Fancy us to win this

Apparently the switch in formation was down to long-term fitness levels. The fitness team looked at the stats and concluded that if we played the way we were playing at the beginning of the season for the whole year, that the players would all be knackered by about now.

If you surrender possession, sit back, play with no urgency and make poor subs you don’t win games... If you careen wildly from one extreme to the next, people are going to rightfully call you a knob. Saw this coming in the Man City aftermath.... There was no tactics? Righto. How can you go on endlessly about loving Rafa and then say that?

Remember when he talked about ‘putting intelligence’ into players?

Difference is restricting them to a few not many like we did against Liverpool and Tottenham. All teams will usually get one or two chances in a game. They got behind us time after time except for the last 15 minutes when we started to actually put pressure onto them. They didn’t get behind us time after time, that’s nonsense. They got behind us once in the first half, when they scored.

I don’t get it

It doesn’t even mean anything

Lads, it’s fucking agony this

Exactly this. The only semblance of hope we would have of a takeover being done is if we were being linked to players who are in the 15m plus bracket. Scraping around the bargain basement is going to get us nowhere but the Championship. If you buy cheap quality in life its usually shite The hope (or lack thereof) is linked to the business we do, not the rumours.

I’ve rewatched the first half and again, we were abysmal, the worst I’ve ever seen us play at home. I find this very hard to believe. I can think of the Portsmouth defeat under SA and the Liverpool 0-6 straight away. There must be plenty more. You missed the Jesus and debruyne chances for a start, in your terms of chances being from five yards outn maybe but in mine if you have a clear shooting opportunity from outside the box and within 25 yards then that is a chance to score. Not really bothered what the opinion of some people around you say either I form my own opinion on what I see and don’t need to get back up on what I think. You have your opinion I have mine and as I said earlier the opinions are not going to change on here. Like I said, it depends how you define a chance.

I can think of the Portsmouth defeat under SA and the Liverpool 0-6 straight away. There must be plenty more. Nah, those were bad performances but again our players did f*** all on the ball, not a thing. It was literally 35 minutes of Man City knocking it about, scoring, threatening and us just kicking it away when it come to us. Nothing football. You’re saying it was the worst tactical display you’ve seen at home, not the worst performance. No I didn’t, there was no tactics unless you call camping out on your own box and hoofing it when we had the ball tactics. It was total surrender. Shelvey shooting from kick off was like saying this is our only opportunity to shoot. There was no tactics? Righto. How can you go on endlessly about loving Rafa and then say that?

Classic Ashley signing

I suppose it depends how you define a ‘chance’ to score. Personally, I don’t include shots from outside the box as a general rule. I was sitting parallel with our goal in the first half and I saw them score from an exquisite pass and a tight angle finish, a great save from Elliot from a set piece, and Aguero hit the post from outside the box. They didn’t seem to make much from open play other than long range shots and the goal. Going in at half time the general consensus where we were sitting was that the game plan worked well.

Happy to trust Shelvey though who has the same mental flaws and has been sub par all season. You’re assuming trust is limited to a disciplined approach to the laws of the game, that’s only half the story.

Is that Rafa?

Disgusting We owe him nothing. Our manager doesn’t trust him, so he doesn’t play.
