Figures 1-0 Football

No great loss, a minging place and it takes forever to get there.

Something is wrong like, Crystal Palace and all of their good players are still bottom after their ‘easier games’. They are actually further away from safety than they were before their ‘easier games’ Must be Roy Hodgson’s tactical masterclass.

Wow

Cant believe the transfer window champions 17/18 might go down.

Everton 2-0 now

Everton

He’s just gone up in my estimations

It’d help if Boro passed to each other rather than 5 yards behind each other.

The state of this game

This could be a hammering, which would be class.

Keepers get away with so much Imagine a foul not being given after a CB jumps into a striker like Gazzaniga did there, nowhere even close to the ball.

Aye, it was dissent - for some reason. He gestured towards the ref when he wasn't given the foul (which is wasn't imo). Shelvey got the same later on for clapping the ref when he gave a foul away. LeJeune's booking was so harsh it's untrue, the gesture wasn't even insulting or sarcastic like Shelvey's was. Thing that'll annoy me is today we'll see loads more of them and the refs do nothing. I thought Shelvey's was for persistent fouling? Nah, he sarcastically applauded the ref, again.

Love the Championship - Boro have been utter shit all season, went 5 without a win but can move into the playoffs with a win today

Grayson had a 7% win percentage

Aye, it was dissent - for some reason.

This guy’s pass to Yedlin early on and the tackle on the halfway line Thought he looked good again yesterday, looks a real good buy.

He’s made clangers from the first game he played for us, it wasn’t like he had a bad spell, he hasn’t had a good one. His kicking is just as bad too.

Their entire game plan is obviously to cling onto a 0-0, despite their defence being fucking atrocious. They’d be better off going for a 4-3 every week, they can score goals but they cant defend for shit. As soon as their game plan is to defend they may as well just concede the game.

Absolutely and he’s still the best GK we have.

You think Rafa would tell a keeper to take his time over a goal kick when we are behind with hardly any time left? Why? I’d imagine its more to do with Elliot being aware his distribution is poor and trying to take his time and get it right. Aware of his own limitations and trying to ensure he doesn’t make a mistake. You see where defenders close him down, his distribution is much worse when he is rushed. I’d rather him take 3 seconds longer and distribute the ball slightly better, than rush it make a mistake when he tries to release Perez on the halfway line, who will undoubtably fall over anyway when someone in Level 7 sneezes. Trouble is he takes so long it destroys any chance of a counter, and even then all does is hoof it up the pitch - and when you've Gayle and Perez up front the ball is only just going to come back. Aye, not disputing his decision making is poor - but we did finish the game with a team that snow white would have been happy with. Best thing to have done would have tried to play from the back.

The team is absolutely minging

How the fuck Perez was left trying to mark Cook I will never know.

When did this happen like? Every time he lost the ball there were groans but the time he was perceived to be not chasing back for it he got absolute pelters. Thought you were there? Just contradicting what's said on here for the sake of it? Wallsendmag doesn’t like bad things being said about the crowd.
