LiquidAK Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 We were absolutely class, right up until we were in on goal. Like having a team of Darwin Nunezs. Frustrating but it happens - we'll still give Arsenal a game and you never know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Jesus H Christ Trippier had a shocker offensively, surely someone else can take over free kicks for the lad when he's having an off game? Of the 1 or 2 free kicks that didn't nestle safely in the keepers arms they hit the first man, player of the season for me but shocker of a game offensively.

Long time then till the next prem game against Fulham, could really have done with taking 3 points here and then the inevitable Arsenal defeat wouldn't have felt as bad. Still in a great position obviously but stil feels like we should win games like that. City drawing makes it more annoying, think the title is Arsenal's now like Not scared of Arsenal at all. And we would’ve lost this match last year. It’s all about perspective dude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Just puts needless pressure on the Arsenal game now. City dropping points at home and now Man U able to go above us with their game in hand. Really should have won that. They were shite and we still couldn’t score. Still, shows how far we’ve come when we’re looking at the City result Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Warthog Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Could have and should have won comfortably today, but didn't. Can't win them all. Clean sheet again at least... There'll be dancing in the streets of Islington tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Leeds are the only team this season that got us off our own game plan. It was trusting to watch but I’m sure Eddie will have the boys ready to go against Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 3 minutes ago, Pata said: Nah, nowhere near awful. We win that game most times (8-9 out of 10 games), just lacked the finishing today. Awful was maybe a bit of an exaggeration, but I thought we were naive in how we let them disrupt us (I thought we'd be more astute by now), also you wouldn't really have known we'd had the extra days rest on them. They fell off a lot in the second half but still pressured us really well. And general attacking play/decision making really wasteful. By our newfound standards I guess it's on the boundaries of awful On to the next! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Thought Wood was fine too, though not surprised to see the knives out so quickly again. Some good hold-up play, can think of at least 2 lay-offs to Willock which resulted in him through against their last defender. Shame about the chance but it was as much a good save as anything. Wilson clearly a cut above, but that's not exactly news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 We missed chances, Longstaff and Schär in particular. Wood should have done better early in first half with a cross over to an unmarked Joelinton. Think the bad weather was also a factor. People slipping all over the place. These games happen and even Man City couldn’t beat Everton at home today. On to the next one.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on their result later. But win that and they go another 2 clear of us and City. 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.

mighty__mag Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Stand by what I said at half time, in hindsight now, but Eddie perhaps should have started the strongest 11, and Willock wasn't the player to come off, Longstaff should have, although Longstaff got in the right places at times he made the wrong choices. And in fairness to Leeds they fought well, and got what they came for, the boys played into their scrappy game plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like the Palace and Bournemouth games where they sat deep and we created fuck all. We had loads of chances, enough to win three games and they play wide open. Yet we were wasteful. Some absolutely woeful finishing and decision making. We created loads against Crystal Palace too and enough against Bournemouth. These games just happen.
