RS Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) Looking grim when arguably our best starting outfield lineup play as shit as described. Edited August 22, 2021 by RS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 If after a full pre-season and our strongest side out, we're getting beat off West Ham and Villa out of the blocks, with 3 shots on target over 180 minutes I don't really know where we go from there. Bruce has shown historically he has no plan B, so I guess we're sticking with the back 5 until the press finally start questioning it, at which point he'll knee jerk into another system with no training.

Pre match, plenty felt that it was our strongest line up. Ominous although I still expect us to luck our way to 16th/17th, probably with another late season flourish when everyone else starts to go on holiday.

I don't think we will, Wilson and ASM will get injured before long and the replacements are championship standard at best, Bruce was saved last season because of no pressure at St James.

Danh1 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Just seen he was more possession than Villa yesterday - surely a typo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Finally decided to put myself through the pain of the highlights. Not sure what anyone is complaining about either decision, tbh. Lascelles handles it, if he doesn’t, the ball is likely to go in the net. Wilson looks marginally offside without even drawing any lines. A bit like last week with West Ham’s penalty decision. It could go either way, but ultimately we only have ourselves to blame because even without the decision(s) we weren’t in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 No complaints with the pen but the offside is bullshit. Yeah yeah, he's half a foot ahead of the defender but that's never, ever getting spotted by a lino and so there's no unfair advantage. Yet another totally disproportionate imposition from the VAR Offsides Dept. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another totally disproportionate imposition from the VAR Offsides Dept. Did the linesman give offside? I thought they just automatically checked this with any VAR penalty decision. Don't have a problem if it's checked and it's offside, however when you look at the goal given for Man Utd last week, then that's why the whole thing is a sham. Also the fact for their penalty, the referee was told to have a look at the off pitch monitor, yet wasn't last week against West Ham. Can't stand VAR, it's totally ruined the game due to the inconsistencies of the officials (not the actual equipment). Very very few actual decent referees in the Premier League.

We didn't get the rub of the green, that's about as charitable as you could be. Did we deserve anything from the game otherwise? No, so not really worth arguing about.

RS Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 The away kit colour may be a negative. Remember Man U dropping their grey away kit as it was deemed to slow the visual decision making process up. probably something we can I’ll afford to do. But hey, if it sells……..

GWN Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) Didn’t watch second half but we never looked winners after Wilson missed early. ASM looked off his game mind Difficult to muster any enthusiasm for this NUFC , I’m more looking forward to Blyth v Telford next week Edited August 22, 2021 by GWN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Villa were totally pedestrian FFS, if we can´t beat that lot playin crap football we don´t deserve a thing. Very disjointed, all over the place. Far too easy down the wings for them I thought. Neither team looked at all like they were going to score and then villa just upped their fight and started to gain momentum, which we had no answer for at all.

Nobody Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 For the first goal, hasn't Cash got one of his feet off the ground when he takes the throw in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermac Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 As mentioned we got what we deserved so its hard to put up too much of a fight regarding the offside decision, as poor as it was though. Personally I have no beef with the handball given for their penalty, I'd have been very disappointed if it was our shout and it wasn't given. Onwards and hopefully upwards.

Hopefully the good times will come back soon for you lot with if with a good new owner and good manager. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2V4T_R2QgY&t=2s Edited August 25, 2021 by AndrewsTripNNip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Hope you enjoyed it, sorry you had to watch the utter turd we produce. In terms of stadiums to go to, I highly recommend places like Portsmouth, Bradford, Sheff Wed and Fulham. Much better than the modern ‘flat pack’ stadium you see now; Leicester, Reading, Brighton etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Best stadium I've been to is the Mestalla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
