Gallowgate Toon Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Really odd game, as has been said. The pull back goal seemed to give us the jitters and we were content to sit in and manage it out from there. Probably sensible. We were taking the sting out very early on in the second half with slow walks to get the ball etc. Would've preferred we came out as we did in the first and try to blitz it but who gives a fuck, we're in a final!

Chicken Dancer Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Was bouncing then when they scored completely flat. Think everyone was nervous, despite the lead. I agree though, no excuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 For all their pressure they created nothing after the goal. We may not always play well but we fucking do not concede chances. feel a bit emotionally burnt out after that . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at 1 & 2 nil it seemed very flat Never any jeopardy in the game IMO. Went into it 1-0 up, clearly the best team, 2-0 up. Even their goal was a freak wonder strike and they were still 2 goals out of it. They never threatened. It's just the way it goes when you're so clearly in the driving seat.

HaydnNUFC Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Almost couldn't fully celebrate the win tonight because of the red for Bruno. Tears in my eyes. Edited January 31, 2023 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the norm thesedays Think there's still a large element of the more vocal support being kept out since giving up season-tickets in protest of Ashley, and a large section of fans who were happy to go along with those days still occupying those seats.

The Prophet Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Hard to tell whether the drop in intensity in the second half was tactical or tiredness/nerves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at 1 & 2 nil it seemed very flat Atmos are more likely to go flat when the game is in the bag and you feel not needed and especially against a team so far beneath you. Was pretty anti-climactic once 2-0/3-0 up. Have to admit I felt it was won then and lost any tension at my end, got interesting again when Bruno was sent-off an things picked up again. The atmosphere at Old Trafford tomorrow will emphasise that. Edited January 31, 2023 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it looked in part a tactical move just to play on the counter. But we were also very poor as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Do wonder if we might be jumping the shark a bit with the atmosphere stuff with a random DJ playing club music half an hour before kick off and the PA guy reading out poetry in a couple of recent games Just let it build naturally with the flags and stuff it will be fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDog Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Got back home and just finished watching the second half. What the hell happened to Bruno? That was for sure a straight red. That is not what was needed. Tripps and Schar tried to calm him down and then he gets tossed off the pitch. Hope this is a learning experience for him. That was terrible.

I feel relaxed about it, like the worst is over. I would have hated to lose against Southampton in the semi, who overall were pretty crap. They will go down. In three of the four finals that we've been in since 1969, we've been really crap. Really, really crap. But now we're not going to be crap, and assuming the game will be against Man U, the pressure will be off. Keep the faith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like a plan to try and keep things calm first 10 mins of the half and then bring the subs on to catch on the break. Sub performances were odd though, almost lacking in intensity.
