Skeletor Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 It was a good performance. We absolutely killed them to death. Our finishing was shocking though. Longstaff in particular. We need more quality in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be winning today and then a point or even a decent performance in defeat at Arsenal doesn’t feel so bad. Now you go into that game needing a result. Top 4 race is pretty tight now. But surely there is no pressure on us in the race for the top 4 ? We are so far above expectations currently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do point out things I don't like and I can be glass half full when things are nervy. But it gets really shit that people like you shit your pants the second I make one criticism. Just insufferable and a bit dim. Like, you've got the blinkers on to most of my posts and then start screaming if I dare be negative or critical. Just ignore me and stop your whining. You really should take a look in the mirror, dude. You’re MO has been constant complaining for years. So to accuse others of that in this context is a bit of gaslighting. I’d be somewhat shocked if anyone on here expected an optimistic post when they see you’ve posted. Your six forced optimism posts are buried under 200,000 negative ones.

I don't think we "need a result" against Arsenal like, we're still way ahead of where we are expected at this point, this season is a free hit essentially, there is no point in adding extra pressure.

andycap Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I would of kept Willock on instead of Longstaff today. He's got that chance of creating something that Longstaff doesn't. Maybes even knicking a penalty with his runs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people were probably like “top seven finish would be great and would show progress” as recently as this summer. Now some folks are acting like we’ve been making the champions league every year for the past decade. “Need a result” away at Arsenal ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Timely result may assist in the January sales. Leeds must be looking at that as a great point where as 18 months ago they’d have looked at humping us . We’ve come that far in so little time.

Theregulars Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I thought the referee bought their snide gameplan, let them dive, foul, waste time and fake injury the whole game. Lost control and rightly so, I’d like to see a complaint in for that. We were wasteful as well. Longstaff needs dropping after that, he was really poor today.

Big Geordie Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Gonna have to get used to the 'panic' from some after a result hasn't gone our way. As this club progresses, we will attract more glory-boys to go with the bedwetters. Just got to ignore them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Ultimately these points dropped are the difference between guaranteeing top four and being 'in the mix' for top four. We'll take that. Buzzing for Arsenal now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 The result is disappointing and the missed chances were frustrating, but I can't knock the effort and although Man City drawing could be seen as a missed opportunity for us, it comes as more of a relief to me.

The top 4 battle has skewed alot of opinions recently I reckon. We are ridiculously overachieving with that squad. If we get any sort of European spot this season it's a massive success.

Andy Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 My biggest criticism of us today btw, isn't the result or the wasteful finishing - those things happen - but the loss of discipline towards the end, which was pretty disappointing and naive. We played right into their hands and should've known better given that we've used similar tactics to waste time this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
