Guest firetotheworks Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Grew into it, so I'm happy with that. For all the possession they've done nothing. I'd happily take a boring 0-0, but with a bit of craft we can definitely get something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Was it a pen on Merino? Looked it live. No Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I think we've better options on the bench too. Either one of Shelvey, Gayle or Atsu could win it for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Think we've been decent there, looked the more likely to score and mostly solid at the back. Pity about the dive because apart from that Merino has been excellent again. Annoying thing is he was actually through as well with some brilliant skill but cheating took over. Game is there to be won. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemtizz Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 ALl this "everyone is against us" is tiresome. IMO Sanches could've seen red. But Merino should have a yellow and another referee could've given Lascellles penalty. Shut up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 That should be a red for Renato Sanchez. No attempt to play the balls and kicks him in the balls. Looked like he played the balls to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Was it a pen on Merino? Looked it live. Nah, it looked it live on TV but he took a dive. I'm expecting retrospective action for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Good half from us tbh. Just need a bit more from Murphy, he looked a bit overwhelmed for most of that half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 The balls going towards their heads and Sanches just kicks him in the balls. He'd be lucky to get away with a yellow never mind nothing at all. Hope Mitro is not watching, because he won't get away with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Thats been a pretty decent tactical performance from us, we've let them have the ball, but been defensibly solid, counter well enough, and could be ahead bar an excellent save. Hayden, has been a bit off the pace when in possession, and the ref has been shite, but will take that first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Positives: - Joselu looks dangerous - Perez nicking the ball in good positions - Merino great in every way Negatives: - Fullbacks are pap - Losing men at set-pieces - Hayden on the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Was it a pen on Merino? Looked it live. Probably not, might have been pulled but he looked to have lost his footing more than anything. Ragdoll physics experts seem to reckon it was 100% a dive though even though it would have made no sense given he was outside of the box and would have been through on goal.

Klaus Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Was it a pen on Merino? Looked it live. Nah, he started diving before contact was made. Should have stayed on his feet and went for goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
