It is just that better players are better players and there is nothing you can do about it? Surely there is more in football that can be discussed?

Bimpy474 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 65 minutes, Wilson for Isak, Barnes for Gordon, Willock for Miley. 75 minutes, Tino for Burn, Murphy for Miggy. And not to ignore that Joel would start instead of Miley. I don't think we lose, if we can make changes like that. I just don't understand how the more pessimistic leaners are choosing to just ignore that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Obviously this kind of thing can happen against a team like City. I understand some of the frustration at the second half performance though, the issue is that it's a continuation of what we've done all season - get into a good position then just try to to dig in, and ultimately fail to hold on. Our ball retention is seriously poor, it's no wonder we're knackered when we're constantly chasing the ball and being moved across the pitch. We need to pull something out of the hat this month in the transfer market, even if it's a couple of loans. We are absolutely desperate for a midfielder who can actually plug gaps on transition and has a bit composure on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Thank you to the voices of reason in here who seem to understand who we are, where we've come from and what we were up against today. Full behind Eddie and these lads. It might get worse before it gets better, but it will get better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 2 minutes ago, Rod said: Trippier totally inept marking for the third goal. Just tell it how it is and don't protect him so much. The bloke would admit it was his fault so don't talk crap. It was a superb pass and run. Not all goals are about how bad defenders or keepers are.

Its common sense and a matter of time, let this period pass as I believe when things pick up again it'll be all the sweeter to shut down anyone who has talked rubbish from our own fanbase or from other clubs.

WilliamPS Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 agree With those saying that with pretty much any 2 of the 7 missing forward players I think they get something. Question is whether people think the team can realistically switch to a different less energy sapping style of play mid way through the season. up until now there’s been a game every 3 days, not a lot of time to change coaching, and can the players brought in even do it? on the other hand if the current approach keeps losing matches how long can you stick with it? Im in the stick rather than twist camp, but its tricky. They can’t change a style of play at halftime against Man City though, remember when spurs tried a new style of play at St James and were something like 4 down in 20 mins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 1 minute ago, Rod said: Pope in goal and we probably win that. Just obvious really. I’m usually down on Dubs and a massive Pope fan, so biased. But not having that. The last goal Trippier should do better and yes, maybe Pope having a longer leg gets the ball. But it’s still outrageous from KDB to pick it out and the feet from Bobb…. World class. Pope might have gone early on one of the shots or not got down to Rodri’s one. He wasn’t available, regardless. It’s like they’re probably saying they score 5-6 if Haaland was playing.

Yeah. We have some tough fixtures but once we get players back we will get going again, hopefully that will mean a European spot. If not then we have to treat it like Spurs have done, and use it to our advantage. That win against Sunderland seems to have given the lads a bit of confidence back. Hopefully a couple of weeks off now and they will be more refreshed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 City played that second half perfectly. Set up to dominate possession expertly and wait for our counter options to tire out after 20 minutes. It's so fucking tediously boring to watch though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 To fixate on Trippier and Dubravka for their goal really is self involved like. That ball from KDB is ridiculous, an inch either way and it's headed away or out of reach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
