St1pe Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Can anyone at the match say how Atsu did? I read on twitter he had a very strong second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankpingel Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Atsu tore the right back apart and put in at least 3 excellent crosses 2nd half. Mitro was so bad and if Murphy had played instead we'd have won. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I'm sure I read somewhere that he is having problems with the language / communicating and I think that's the issue. Otherwise I cannot see what the problem would be as he is comfortably our best CB. He's the best defender at the club. His communication seemed fine under McLaren so I don't know what's changed. He's nowhere near that. Best defender at the club is Clark IMO. He's easily it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Rafa doesn't rate Mbemba. He'll be gone in the summer. Sad, but true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as an all round ball player Mbemba is better but as for no nonsense defending Clark is your man. Would be interesting to see them alongside one another at some point.

Guest neesy111 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 My issue with Mbemba is he has massive rick in him, mind a few others are the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 That second goal man. Why are our defenders obsessed with putting it on their own net? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Was their first goal offside? Looked miles off. Atsu was excellent apart from overhitting his cross a few times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Another 2 points pissed away. I suppose you have to take the positive out of that, we didn't lose and it looked certain we would at half time. But fuck me, we seem utterly incapable of putting in a 90 minute performance. We're always shit in one half, most often the first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Was their first goal offside? Looked miles off. Atsu was excellent apart from overhitting his cross a few times. Highlights say no. Which highlights? The Sky Sports highlights didn't show whether it was on or not. Looking at the highlights though, same shit. Defensive errors mixed with a missed sitter from Mitrovic and arguably Atsu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 He looks ahead of Yedlin in that image like, hard to tell where Dummett is along the line though. EDIT: Either way it's a really close call and horrific marking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Back from the game. First half performance was probably the worst I've seen from us this season, we were absolutely vile. Second half was how we should be playing against anyone at home. Thought Ritchie and Atsu were outstanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Elliot and Murphy will surely come in on Tuesday? Diame for Perez as well probably although not much improvement there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiesteve710 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Can anyone at the match say how Atsu did? I read on twitter he had a very strong second half. Was our man if the match in my opinion, because he was the only one at the races in the first half. Final ball not great and got worse as he tired but beat his man time and time again. In general the game was a little scrappy but fair play to bristol city for having a go and not just shutting up shop like a lot of teams have, they had a go and left some gaps at the back in doing so. Special mention to the ref for bottling the most clear foul/red card you'd ever see for that push on mitro with a completely clear view. Prick.

Tsunami Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I think was fairly level with their first; i thought he was onside and that our back last night had made a mess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been playing shite for a good while now, these players lack confidence. It was the same last week against Villa, we were awful in the first half, then when we went 2-0 up we suddenly started passing it around like a CL side. We lack character IMO.

huss9 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 oh well, still effectively 6 points clear of the play-offs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
