On a more negative note, he's now injured too Its why I hate assist stats. Put a great ball on a plate, forward fucks up...no assist. Scuff a shot that forward pics ups and scores.....assist!

Haaland is about 100mm behind Pope and he's blocking Thiaw off, who's trying to get across to cover Pope's left hand side (where they scored). It was honestly one of the best calls I've seen from VAR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cf Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Just now, cubaricho said: Thank fucking god no one on this forum manages the team. This is an insanely defeatist attitude. Have you seen where the fixture is? 28th Jan - Away to PSG 31st Jan - Away to Liverpool 4th Feb - Away to City I don't think it's defeatist. I think it's just realistic. Especially with the fact we have a 2 goal deficit to overturn I think we need to prioritise elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_b Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 5 minutes ago, Cf said: It's freed up the 2nd leg for us to let the first team get some rest in at least. Has to be the reserves in that match. Given the congestion I just don't see how we can be competitive in it especially from 2 goals down. We don’t have any reserves, just a pool of players all around the same ability that we’ve already been rotating all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 3 minutes ago, TheBrownBottle said: Then that’s a bizarre call. It’s only parts of your body which are legal to play the ball which can be ruled off. Haalands foot is clearly offside, it's well beyond Popeys arse, what I couldn't believe was they were taking so long to decide that and then asking the ref to see if he intervened with play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Legitimate question, but what are these big chances we created? Wissa snatched at one early doors. Trafford made a brilliant save from Wissa. Then Bruno hit the post. I know it's verboten, but City's last ditch defending was excellent. Nick should shoot first time, but it's a fractional call, Khusanov does brilliantly.

Blazed a one on one over by about 10yds when in time and space from about 12yds is a better description. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Thought we played well tbh. First goal came when we had 10 men on the pitch but the second goal is a killer. Puts us out. Bit disappointing we couldn’t score against that Man City back line, mind. Ah well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilcline Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Also as an aside, sick of playing these and giving Haaland absolutely fuck all just for another of the cunts to pop up with something, think he's scored a pen against us in the 3-3 and that's it?
