I was mildly surprised VAR did not tell him to review it. Thought the ref was actually pretty good, barely noticed him in between my rants on how ****e we were.

TBF, we were so ****e that he'd have had to have had a complete howler to make that override quite how poor we were.Originally posted by WES View PostMartin Samuel just wrote an article claiming it wasn't even a foul

Why are we getting injuries in the same positions all the time? MnM has proved to be great cover for a CF, and in some ways he actually benefits our style of play. It's interesting that Easy's looked his best when playing with him, which is why I can't wait for Kai to be back.
If we need a goal, and have Easy and Odin behind B, Kai and Leo {or Gabby} then I really have faith in their ability to unpick the lock.
Also, given the injuries, if we're playing a weaker team at home, what about B at RB? Noni at RW. Could have MLS at LB, inverting but staying deeper to allow B to bomb forward, and Ethan to come on for Noni. Worth a try imo.

That's the thing with competence; it's also means predictability

You can say that again, redOriginally posted by redgunamo View PostWere we really that bad. It felt like every other game we play except we didn't score or create much.

No is actually the answer to your question, I suppose. It's all realtive. For 85 minutes we were in complete control and very good defensively (or at least as good as we needed to be). Their goal was the first shot on target.
But expectations are high when 1 plays 20 and 1 hasn't won the league in 21 years. And we expect to create chances and stick a few away. We got in many very good positions and then created nothing, time and time again.
So were we a 'shambles' or 'terrible' or 'pathetic' overall? No. But it still wasn't nearly good enough if we intend to be 1.

Very good defensively apart from the time their player was clean through on goal 20 yards in his own half?Originally posted by WES View PostYou can say that again, red

While it's never good when your back four is flying headlong in retreat towards its own goal to the sounds of heavy breathing and hamstrings snapping, you never felt we were in any REAL danger.Originally posted by Peter View PostVery good defensively apart from the time their player was clean through on goal 20 yards in his own half?
