Dave Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Well everyone expected a grim match and that's what it was. We're simply not good enough going forward. I was prepared to accept the gameplan if it got us something but they capitalised on our sloppiness in a short period when they kept catching us on the ball in good areas and the momentum got them a goal. Diame should have been off the pitch by that point IMO, he looked slow all night and we needed some legs in there. I thought Rafa got that wrong. That aside, too many players were poor again - Ritchie did nothing, Shelvey didn't influence enough and the less said about Perez and Joselu the better. The defence was pretty solid but the crossing was dreadful and Elliot once again was shite without being responsible for the goal. He's just so laughably clumsy. Having said all that, I still think some people need to remember where we are, where we were and who we've got to choose from. Staying up is still the only thing that matters this season and a point tonight would have been a decent result. We're always fucking crap away on a Monday night. A takeover can't come soon enough.

Stottie Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Shit game won by one mistake. Like Brighton and Huddersfield away, we stopped them playing, but did little to get something ourselves and it was another chance missed to get something in an easy away game. The Monday curse continues, but that was mostly our own fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 We were putrid tonight and were far too negative, it doesn't mean we don't still love Rafa. Embarrassing is it to call each game how you saw it, aye alright. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Manquillo is so poor on the left. Every time he receives the ball he turns back to our goal. Also, got it wrong with Diame today. Should have been Hayden. He offers more in the final third plus Shelvey and Diame look like they never know where the other one is! It's almost like we should have bought a left back in the summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I think Rafa could've set us up less defensively today but with the limitations of the forwards I can understand the decision. I think he's got too much faith in us not having massive brainfarts which wreck the whole defensive set up. We were always liable to being pressed into a mistake tonight, and should've put the foot on the gas sooner than we did. Our offensive options are dire, though, Jesus Christ. It's like starting with Sibierski every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chizzletooth Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Massive overreactions here. Our team is nothing special in any department - its not just Perez and Joselu. We're going to be trying to nick one goal wins all season unless we get the money in Jan. People who think we should be going at teams away from home are not being realistic.

Agree with all of this. As Carragher said, a Championship squad with a Champions League Manager. This is exactly why we need a board with a modicum of ambition. We were actually ok in the first two thirds of the pitch, it's the final third where even Rafa is struggling to polish a turd. Can't understand him starting Diame.

It's almost like we should have bought a left back in the summer Or we could play Mbemba who played rather well there when he did, and got forward well too.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Would we have been ‘embarrassing’ or ‘too negative’ if we held on in exactly the same fashion for a 0-0? Like Brighton and Huddersfield, we were well set for a good away point until individual mistakes let us down - something that Rafa cannot prevent. We will play shit every now and again, it happens. 3 points on Saturday and suddenly the garden is rosey again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 We've got one quality player in there, Shelvey. Bar the centre backs the rest are shite. People need to come to terms with this when we lose games like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alijmitchell Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 People just love a f***ing overreaction on here. Get a f***ing grip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Im sorry sir. We should be happy that we can even watch such preformances. What an incredibly thick response. We've been beaten 1-0 by a mid table side who are very hard to break down. We've just come up, we have little in the way of quality. Newsflash, we will lose games this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ElCid Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 There are some shocking knee jerk reactions in here. Completely agree. Disappointing performance but Rafa is getting the most out of what is a very average squad. We'll win tight games just as we'll lose them eight the way we're set up. We're functional because we're limited as a team. Joselu and Perez are complete w*** though Agree perfect summary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Think Diame's performance against Palace was his one good game in ten that he seems to have. Gayle is absolutely pointless this season, love or hate him, at least Mitrovic would try when put on as a sub. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
