Emery criticising ref and VAR for a penalty not given . Clear shirt pull. Nailed on so not sure why it wasn't given. Having said that , glad that Arsenal are losing yet more ground. Where is Ozil?
I was at the Sheff U v Liverpool game, wasn’t so easy for your lot either. He is doing a great job at Brammal Lane.
They are tough to beat at home which is what they need to survive. Their away record is poor though...
think that will change. The way they play is a breath of fresh air. Enjoyed the last few years going with our lads to watch them. They are short of goals that may hurt them away from home, but they are so well organised. talk of him being poached if they go down, can’t see that happening under wilder this season.
I've only watched them when they played us and wasn't impressed with, shall we say, the physicality. They were very 'parks and gardens'.
and they did a great job disrupting the flow. You wouldn’t expect them To play flowing football and get beat would you. Wilder did what was needed for the win. Some of the stuff t he y played last year was amazing, if that were Bielas they would be swooning over him.
