Well, glad I didn't stay up to watch that, it must have been ...... relaxing? Two more games, two more wins to go.
Just thinking. You know all those games when it's been one shot one goal, or two shots and two goals... Well, it seems we were saving up all our good luck for tonight when it was needed the most
true, bielsaball is a delicate balance where each cog has to function or it goes to a bit to rat. But the DM role as the fulcrum is more pivotal than most. How many players got caught in posession in the areas where Phillips would normally be occupying... or because they didn't have the usual outlet? In the space of the first 10 minutes at the start of the second half, a fair number of them. But of course he's not creative and doesn't make enough forward passes or score enough goals like the great defensive midfielders... makele, deschamps
We were crap against fulham and won 3-0, bang average at swansea and got a scarcely deserved late winner. Beyond awful today and win with an own goal. Have we played any better than the back end of last year when it all went Pete Tong? We've either got luckier this year or have learnt to win ugly. Perhaps a bit of both,
All about the result at this point of the season and playing last all the time under that pressure the team has shown huge bollocks. Need to do that one more time but I for one don’t think it’s a formality from here.
Looked like a rib injury, I can't see him being back but with a point needed I'd be happy to drop him for Alioski. Fingers crossed at least WBA or Brentford slip up tomorrow
Yes I had a cracked rib earlier this year. Bruised or cracked, he'll feel that tomorrow! And yes, doubt he'll play.
quality... can almost forgive him all those crap signings please log in to view this image please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
Just for a bit of fun I think we should all give marks out of 10 for tonights team. I'll go first but can't be arsed to add any comments but hopefully some of you will... Meslier 10 Ayling 6 Berardi 7 Cooper 6 Dallas 4 White 7 Klich 6 Harrison 6 Costa 6 Roberts 6 Bamford 7 Subs; Alioski 6 Hernandez 6 Struijk 7 Shackleton 6
Totally agree about meslier,getting better all the time at least we finally have a descent keeper who will make a solid foundation & more importantly will cut it in the prem, particularly after some of the clowns we have had in the past
Thought Cooper was better than a 6, blocked everything in that second half. Costa, Harrison, and Roberts were probably all below 6. Otherwise can’t argue tbh.
