  1. Seems to get everything right all the time. 

     

    Thought we had 4 effective subs yesterday which hasn't been the case for most of the season. Having Wilson come on up top, and 2 decent wingers in Anderson and Gordon fresh to re-ignite our intensive press was amazing. Also Joelinton coming on to run around like a madman with all that pent up energy, Fake Bruno was just scared of him and pussied out of the challenges. :lol:

     

    Imagine next season if we can get 3 or 4 more top class players to fight over positions his toolbox will be so much better.

     

    He has so much class as well. Happy to tell the opposition wanker to fuck off to his face, but still maintains class in interviews which make the likes of Klopp, Ten Hag and Arteta look like the petty little people that they are. Love him!

     

  2. Story of our season this if we don't get top 4, poor finishing from midfield.

     

    We are playing so well, but I don't want to know the amount of points we've thrown away this season from panicking in front of goal. Longstaff arguably should have had 1, Willock most definitely should have had 2. The 2nd miss is pretty bad but the first is the worst by far. The goal is open and I'd liken the finish to a girl pushing a ball away after someone throws it at her unexpectedly. :icon_puke_l:

     

    Really hope this won't be another game where we end up wishing someone hit the back of the net. We are so much better than this trash Manu side.

  3. It is worrying how every year we seem to get more of the "raising the bar" just for regular fouls and yellow cards. Against Wolves we had it exactly the same that defenders were basically manhandling Isak with both hands and getting away with it. Many refs seem content to do as little as possible and just let VAR deal with the "important stuff". They're just getting worse.

  4. Oh well. We tried and could have gotten something with a bit of luck. Nothing to be ashamed of.

     

    They could replace their right back to cover our threat with a very good defender once they got the booking on Dalot. We brought on Matt Ritchie in the end.

     

    At the end of the day their squad is a lot stronger, and we probably needed the first goal. I'm sure we will be back and will compete in this competition in the future.

  5. Team still is a bit imbalanced. Way too many players whose main strength is off the ball movement. Chances and chances to create have been falling to Willock/Longstaff for weeks now without anything happening. Though i do think Longstaffs ball to Wilson was actually good and Wilson should have been on his toes. I'd swap Willock and Wilson for Isak/Maxi at half time. But i guess we will probably wait a bit.

  6. 33year old Norwegian. Godfather followed Newcastle so when I was a kid I kind of just went with that, also never liked going for the standard "best teams" like most of my friends who follow Manutd/Liverpool. Loved playing them in Football manager from an early age (martins/owen combo was amazing at one time :) ). 

     

    Got really into football at the least perfect time. The season Keegan came back and we got relegated under Ashley, been shit since then but I have managed to get to St. James twice. Once in the champo and I saw Ben Arfa score a screamer live against Villa when we went on to sign nobody on deadline day after qualifying for europe if my memory serves. 

  7. Was shitting myself in the start, thought we'd be lucky to get anything. Arsenal seem  a patient and good side.

     

    We still ended up having the best chance. And we look dangerous from set-penises. Important that we help Burn with Saka like we've been doing. Joelinton and Schar our best players for me this half.

  8. I have the same attitude to Klopp and Steve Bruce, whenever they start talking i press the mute button or change the channel, just tiresome personalities. In contrast to a Lampard for example whose face I quite enjoy after a loss. :D

  9. Feel the first half was the worst kind of game for Wood to be playing in as well. Would have been perfect for someone like Isak and also Maxi when we were basically just trading chances. Players without pace just disappeared ie Longstaff.

  10. Really pissed off at the ref after this. Adams and Gnonto should have had yellows quite early on and would have been unable to just kick the shit out of Bruno/Trippier for 90 minutes.

     

    Have to give the Leeds manager credit. If we had played like this away to a better team I'd be delighted. Think he guessed correctly that we would bring off ASM from the bench, and waited till he came on to sub a fresh right back  on, I was foaming at the mouth to have ASM against Ayling.

     

    I love our midfielders but today highlighted that in front of goal against worse opponents we need more quality from the 2 playing in front of Bruno. The positions Longstaff get the ball in during a game really needs to bring some end-product. Especially in good positions at the edge of the box i don't feel confident any of them will do much. If Wood starts we look toothless.

  11. Ref is such a wanker, that non-yellow for their player and Tripps getting a yellow that shouldnt even have  a free kick, plus the pen. Sick of him.

     

    We are looking a bit lacklustre when we reach the goal, very good at getting there. Wood should have managed to put in Joe on 2 minutes.

     

    Crying out for ASM and Wilson. Doublesub at HT with Longstaff and Wood off would do me. Maxi especially should get so much space to run at a yellow carded Ayling.
