ToonArmy1892 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 MOTM. And yet there were still thick c***s having a go at him for their second goal, and when he was on the deck with a bleeding nose. FFS. I was having a go at him for their second like, it was poor losing it there, he had a canny game though. More angry at our defenders backing off their player who had the initial shot rather than Perez tbh. Well yea, was poor allround, could also say Dub shouldn't have parried it like that, but that would be very harsh. Just a total gut punch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Ameobis Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Just got in from the game. From where I was siting it looked like he should have taken it in the corner before the break for the goal but lost possession. Did I see it right? Yes and no from me. People were screaming and shouting about game management and taking it in the corner as i was leaving the ground but he had a chance to score or play someone in and win us the game and there's no better way to waste time and win the game than actually scoring a goal. Personally thought that in the context of the game both teams were going all out to win it late on and i can't fault him for it. He could have took it the corner and lost possession anyway, Aye, one of them was probably me and sorry mate but I disagree. Wolves had nowt all game except on the break and the chances they had all came from that kind of scenario. One's each in the 94th minute down to 10 men and I'd put my house on it that Shearer would have taken it to the corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably would, but he also would most likely have kept it there and not lost possession whereas when we do that now we always seem to lose possession anyway going back a couple of seasons. Leeds in the championhip springs to mind where we did that and then lost it and they went and scored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Was hoping he was going to win one of his clever/shithousery free kicks. Hard to be too critical of him today though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Just got in from the game. From where I was siting it looked like he should have taken it in the corner before the break for the goal but lost possession. Did I see it right? Absolutely no way you can blame your second striker for losing the ball in the attacking third for a goal like that. Aye maybe he should've took it to the corner, but our midfield and defence were absolutely catastrophic in how they dealt with the counter attack, there's absolutely no way their player should've ran as far as he did unchallenged, it was absolutely atrocious. Kenedy's tracking back was lazy as fuck too, something I haven't seen mentioned - for a player that had just came on the pitch the lack of effort he made to get back to help Ritchie when we were clearly stretched was appalling.

xLiaaamx Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Im surprised he stayed on after the elbow, was bleeding heavily - had to keep a tissue in his hand to wipe up the blood before Dean could march him back off, and had already ran his heart out. Thought that was the time to bring Muto on for him to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Got a lot more time for him after today. Played his heart out, looked genuinely gutted and spoke passionately after the game. Shocking that Dean didn’t even stop for the head injury and nearly let Wolves score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsprillasShinPad Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Fair play to him for the passion he's shown. Can't fault his attitude and never had. I hope he gets the rest of him game together - he's got the ability, but just has no footballing brain. If Rafa and his team can teach him how to play for the team, he could do a job for us, and I hope he does. The lego haired forin melt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looked off the boil this year but when he plays instinctively, and to his strengths, he contributes a lot to the team. And unlike the wankers who've pulled on this shirt in the past, this lad runs his heart into the ground almost every game. For effort, you can't fault him.

People are realising that when I say something is good, it better be pretty damn good. He does have some instinct on the ball if it comes to him unexpectedly, but if he wants to play as a 9, he really needs to learn where to stand. If he wants to play as a 10 he needs to learn how to get into the pocket and how to link up with a 9. At the minute he instinctively plays into blind alleys and then ends up resorting to chucking himself on the floor, which doesn't work at NUFC. He needs to realise that referees give us fuck all and if we want to get goals, we need to get them in spite of the ref. He drifts out of games far too easily and too often goes wide when we are screaming out for someone to give a central outlet for the midfield/defence, hence Shelvey's over-reliance on 70 yard Holywood passes.

In regards to the refs, after today I’m convinced the refs have it out against us, and they especially hate this lad After the disallowed goal which should’ve stood, they called 2 fouls that never were from Perez. Ridiculous shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
