None of which were solo affairs. Yanks win the two world wars and a bent referee won that 66 fiasco #ballnevercrossedtheline
I've seen replays and I thought it was offside. The thing is I hate how the new offside rule can be manipulated with free kicks like that. Because essentially it doesn't allow defenders to mark you and creates goalhangers in that situation. Also, I reckon we should try sign Hogan in January, his movement was generally good and he looked sharp. Would give Wood some good competition up front.
I dunno, you obviously see more games than me as I'm an armchair supporter in Aus but I kinda get the impression Monk changes things for particular games. It was always gonna be a struggle and I think he wanted to keep the tempo quite slow for this game as we just had so many players out injured. I also think we struggle without Wood as he is able to take a long ball down, control and lay off whereas doukara is not capable of that so we weren't able to move the ball forward quickly. O'Kane makes a massive difference in that department as well.
I agree we are obviously going to miss wood as he is our main goal threat. This slow build up and pissing about at the back is seen every week. Its not just monk to be fair they are all at it. But when you look at shots on goal and see how few we have in some games even with decent possesion you know someone is forgetting at times thatthe object of the excercise is to put the little round thing in the net at the other end. Dont shoot cant score..... The defence doesnt look like its going to concede at every opportunity any more...
