St1pe Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Quite enjoying the level of piss boiling this has caused amongst every fan base in the comment sections of the clips. People are seething about us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I want to know where this crap, defensive football tag has come from? We were lucky at Brighton and that's about it. We had a go at Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal and it was only when they started getting on top that we we shut up shop. We're not just going to give games away to keep the top clubs happy. Palace at home we created chances and should have won, we created enough chances home to Leeds and Palace away to win by at least a couple but that was poor finishing rather than shite football. We've got Isak back, ASM coming back and more than likely one forward thinking midfielder/winger to add in the next week. I think other fans are going to be in for a shock if they genuinely think that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 It’s just a coping mechanism. So what if we were more defensive against Arsenal? We’re literally the only side to stop them winning at home in the league this season. I’ll take that every day of the week versus not getting a point at all.

Guest Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 We're in the top few for a lot of attacking metrics and the top 7-8 for others. I think people see the clean sheets and 0-0s and just think 'turgid football'. It's funny as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 We've scored 40 goals this season. How this is that defensive? We are a balanced team, who press hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Just clowns only looking at the last few results. We were scoring goals for fun before the Leeds game. Even if you dug even a slight amount into the Palace/Leeds stats you would see that we’re attacking and creating chances, just that our finishing has turned to absolute shit.

I think other fans are going to be in for a shock if they genuinely think that. I just think it demonstrates how much the average football fan understands about each club. It was highlighted in probably our most watched game v Arsenal and caused the biggest uproar on social media when we dared do that at Anfield. Aside from that it hasn’t really been that much but incorrect opinions seem to spread like wildfire on social media where people watch 3min highlights clips and make a decision on a game.

I think other fans are going to be in for a shock if they genuinely think that. I was just thinking that. E.g. we've scored more than ManU. I feel like it was the Arsenal game that did it, it being so high profile. Somehow being the only team to successfully keep a clean sheet at Arsenal and, unsurprisingly holding out and trying to run the clock down there, has led to this false impression.

GeordieDazzler Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 The final is the Sunday after their second leg with Barca, they have quite the fixture congestion around then. They need to get past Forest first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 It's become noticeable with some fans from other clubs that the narrative with Bruno has gone from 'wow, how did you manage to land him' to 'snidey little cunt isn't he ' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomson Mouse Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 It’s great, all of it. Manure did shithousery for decades and it helped them. Don’t want to be another entertainers, I want to ruthlessly win a lot of trophies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Winning shitloads more corners than every other team is also going to play a factor in the 'ball in play' stats as well. 60 more than Man U for example so 3 per game, about a minute and a half/2 minutes per game just there alone given its normally our right-back taking them? That's hardly down to 'shithousery', you have to attack to get corners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
