DJ_NUFC Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 On this day last year we lost 5-1 away at Pardew's Palace. Despite us being a division lower almost everything about the club has changed in a year and it's all down to this man. #perspective Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Was at the point of losing my rag at the lack of changes but we'd won the tie in extra time. Players let him down tonight but I am looking forward to the world class in-game tactician turning up at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Stunning week from this man. Spot on today tbf, absolutely battered Hull just couldn't score which is hardly his fault. Thank fuck we've got him, because he won't let this get to him and we'll come back stronger. Still massively disappointed to have lost that, don't understand why Yedlin was taken away from the penalties like. Should have as many fresh players as possible taking them, not knackered fuckers like Gouffran. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sels was always going to play today after having been displaced from the league. Late subs didn't hurt us, players switching off after going 1-0 up did. We basically were two up front with Diame playing there after the sending off. Blackburn yes, he takes a lot of blame for, but not tonight IMO. We'll win on Friday anyway.

Ronaldo Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Deliberately weakened us twice in 3 days resulting in 2 defeats that should've been wins. He's got to stop trying to be so clever, like. Competition for places is good, playing inferior crap for no good reason whatsoever most certainly isn't.

Hanshithispantz Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 we played well today but fluffed our lines a bit against a poor Premiership side playing anti-football, I think we can chill out like. The last time we hit a rough patch we went and won about 40 games in a row. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Thought the team was solid, TBH. Few were bad on the night, but we were still the better side. Picking Sels for such a huge game seemed a bit mental. He has looked shitscared and mistake prone since signing. Can't kill off a useless team like that and let it go to the lottery of pens. Then you deserve to lose, really. Friday is going to be really tough now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 We created absolutely fuck all for vast swathes of the game like. No point dominating if you aren't creating much That's my worry. We look really good as a unit. Look after it well, play some nice stuff. But we have no cutting edge high up the pitch. Shelvey is deep, Ritchie looked/looks a bit off. Gouffran wants 20 touches all the while and isn't really a winger. Then you have Diame tripping over his own feet and Perez being out of form for about a year. I suppose Atsu looked bright. But he is also hit and miss and will be away for the AFCON soon. I think we may need another wide option and/or attacking mid in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Canny fucking hysterical this like. We were weakened against Blackburn in order to put in our all for this and I was critical of his starting line up vs Blackburn, but I have no major complaints about the match tonight aside from the inexplicable decision to play Sels. If we were weakened against Blackburn, then you need to go all out for Hull and he did...aside from Sels, and in the end that one decision cost us. I know it seems unfair to scapegoat, but it was diabolical goalkeeping like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point dominating if you aren't creating much Hull packed the box so it's hard like, especially when we're a Championship side who sorely lack a proper number 10. I don't think I've ever seen us misskick the ball as much as that before though, probably the conditions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
