Sheffield Utd 0-2 Newcastle Utd - 05/12/19 - Post-match reaction from page 18


Recommended Posts

If Rafa was in charge this would be a masterclass of a performance,  HWTFL

 

Nah, that's rubbish.

 

Rafa never had us looking like this in the Championship and we are playing a team fresh out of the Championship today.

 

 

Fork off man, this is killing most,  we have been superb at a smash and grab and if this was last season we'd be fucking all over Rafa, folk just wont admit it.

 

It's a great result, but the fact is it's been dire. We did not play this way under Rafa against this level of competition.

 

It was really only against Man City and Liverpool for which we were criticised heavily by the same media now claiming we've defended so well.

 

We practically have 11 men in our box against Sheffield United for goodness sake. Knock it off.

 

 

Rafas teams weren't expansive till after xmas,  get points on the board first get safe then shackles off.Same as this season,honestly the criticism is fucking hilarious, we are winning 2-0 away from home in the PL,not east in ANY match. Its pathetic to criticise it tonight

 

I'm not tied to any result. I'm calling it as I see it.

 

I would be sick paying to watch this every game. This is how we play every single game. It's awful.

Joe bloody shoot the ball

 

Did so well initially :lol:

 

Still have hope for him. There's something there, but my goodness he needs some guidance with decision making.

 

Confidence problem due to being played out of position due to us not having any good strikers due to Fat Mike. As per usual.

I am surprised there haven't been more goals like that one and Kelechi's on Sunday for Leicester (though this probably would have been a goal regardless). The new rules are a big adjustment for defenders and linesman. It is easy for both parties to have a mental lapse when they have been trained a certain way for 20+ years. The main issue is the linesman putting the flag up for marginal offsides decisions, it creates nothing but confusion.

 

Was listening to a pod the other day which was saying linesmen are basically redundant and only add confusion.

I would agree with that sentiment, but the problem then becomes what we are meant to do when players are blatantly offside or goal hanging, which is difficult to see from the referee's position It would be farcical to continue the pattern of play if someone is 10 yards offside and will just lead to more goals overturned via VAR review. The only real solution is for the offside tech to be instantaneous of for the linesman to become competent, but these are equally unrealistic if we are being honest.
