Ronson333 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 1 hour ago, GideonShandy said: Yes. This trick won't work again against any team that has been paying attention. If Trippier's on the field and someone other than him is taking a corner, it's not going to be a conventional first-time into the box and it's probably coming back to Trippier. Unless next time we pull the doube-bluff and have Miggy or Gordon swing it straight in . . . Wait till Tonali comes back, he’s got a vicious corner/cross too ?

SUPERTOON Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Anyone else see that lad get told to sit down by his mam after the first Bruno goal? Got up to shout stuff at him and instead his mam made him sit down ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo123 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Good 3 points. Slightly fortuitous with the penalty that wasn't given. Hopefully we can build on that result and win the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhog63 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Not being contrarian for the sake of it and notwithstanding his lack pce but I got the impression off here that their 1st was another Burnoff. Watching the Highlights it's a canny pass through a huge gap between Burn AND Botman. Both had time to get back until Dubs goes all kamikaze. Bit harsh pinning that goal on one individual Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a sane world When I was watching last night, I thought they got it spot on, but watching it back this morning, I thought it was a pen, but that's probably because they slow it down so much. If it was Wilson in that situation, I'd be calling for a pen, I think. I'm just pleased it wasn't given. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) I was sure var would overturn. It's one of those ref probably entitled to give pen based on letter of law but there wasn't a huge amount of contract player made most of it when chance had already passed rather than being deliberately clattered preventing a goal I know though in reverse situation I'd be pissed at no pen for that Edited February 11 by Tiresias Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Sad I missed this game but fuck, it was nice checking the score at FT to see such an important win and the elation of Bruno having bagged a couple. I gather from some comments that there was the odd modification to shape/player positions during the match? Would anyone be kind enough to sum it up?

Trippier was sitting deeper coming into midfield that inverted full back thing and bruno was playing more as a no 10. Bruno thing worked not sold on the trippier thing as we never looked much in control and in fact our defence was opened up way too easily with pace.

joeyt Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Everytime I see that first Bruno goal I keep thinking Elanga is going to nick the ball before it gets to Trippier and he's going to be able to run 70 yards unchallenged towards our goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Still can't believe more wasn't made of the Longstaff pen. Looked way more of a pen than Awoniyi's was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Really pleased with the win yesterday. The lads kept going, driven forward by the imperious Bruno. We really do have one of the best midfielders in Europe playing for us at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t fit the narrative does it though. Still yet to see a replay of it in any Twitter space. Seen loads bleating on about their non-pen though.

Displayname Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Longstaff is never going to get a pen because of how clumsy he looks when he falls over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Burn was playing as a pushed up LWB, closer to the halfway line than our own box. Schar went into the number 10 position at times. Wilson played the Shola back to goal getting ready to bring the ball down role. Edited February 11 by Stifler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he would have got to the ball had he not went down either, though. I always try and use the shoe on the other foot metric, and I'd want a pen for us, but completely understand why it wasn't given (not Shay). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Ando calling Schar's goal "a simple finish". It was an incredibly controlled finish under pressure, put in the bottom corner with precision. Anything but simple Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Looking at it in slow motion, I actually think it was a pen against Dubravka. He lifts his arm up and its not really true that the forest player left his leg hanging, he didnt have any chance to get his leg over Dubravkas arm there. Im not sure how much him being able to reach the ball or not factors in to the decision? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 It's one of those instance whereby VAR will just back whatever the on-field decision is. Personally, if that was against us I'd be arguing it's a pen. I don't really see any excessive, un-natural movement from Awoniyi to manoeuvre a penalty. Not to mention the Awoniyi looks an absolute lump who probably isn't deft enough to play for one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
