Rival watch

A hat-trick of 0-0s

Should I be happy that a suspect defence looks unusually solid or depressed that a club renowned for attacking football and scoring goals looks so impotent?

Football, bloody hell

 

Two holding midfielders, a flat back four with unambitious fullbacks and strikers playing as wingers.
Leaves a lot of responsibility on Fernandes to create things and Palace used their two holding midfielders to neutralise him. Dull, dull, dull.

 

That's odd, my Twitter is filled with accusations that the ubermensch is the only manager to ever strangle attacking intent out of your club

Turns out it's not just the Goon trash feeds that spend more time talking about us...

 

Scored nearly as many goals against Southampton as they did in every other game combined!

 

Is that 5 home defeats on the bounce for liverpool, nope can't hear the screaming from the MSM for Klopp out , strange that

 

He does have the CL and PL on his recent balance sheet.

 

A long unbeaten run ends with five successive defeats. Surreal

 

One goal in those five games too.

I thought their defence was the problem??

 

Defence is where their injuries are, but that has resulted in them playing their best midfield players in defence, which has made them much easier to play against as they no longer win the ball as high up the pitch, they create fewer chances and are easier to counter attack.

 

Since when have the facts got in the way of a good story for the press

 

The other thing as well, he took Salah off when they were 1-0 down. Salah clearly wasn’t happy and I can see why. He’s their go to guy for goals and top scorer in the league.

Could you imagine how much stick Mourinho would get from fans and the media if he hooked Kane off when Spurs needed a goal

 

Funny how, when referees don't appear to be following a script for how the season must end, Saltypool suddenly look a lot less of a threat...

 

And Utd’s goals dry up when penalty decisions don’t go their way

 

Out of curiosity, has there been a card given this season for time wasting?

Without the crowd hissing and booing when a team is time-wasting ( including Spurs yesterday ), the refs seem not to notice.
I've noticed it most weeks and teams are getting away with it.

 

Yeah, Oliver's dished out a couple, to be fair to him.
You're right about the crowds, though. The away side gets them, but the home one doesn't, normally.

 

Ben Foster should get one in every game he plays.

 

It says something about me that one of my favourite memories over the last few seasons, was seeing Foster beaten in the last few minutes of our 2-1 win over Watford in the second season at Wembley.

He'd been allowed to take the absolute piss when they were 0-1 up. When Llorente scored our second, you could see his shoulders drop and he took some well earned, fearsome abuse. For once, I was behind the goal, about 10 rows back, and giving him the works.

 

Ben Einstein.
For every second he saw it take to put the ball back in play
in a Spurs game, I saw one minute on the clock.

 

Was at that game too.
His time wasting was as pathetic as the Watford fans singing about us not winning trophies....think they went on to lose that season's FA Cup final 6-0
Pretty certain he was the WBA keeper when we drew 1-1 in our first season at wembley and he did exactly the same thing.
Was also at the Burnley game that same season when Joe Hart did the same thing until we scored in the 89th minute...he got dogs abuse after we scored.
He's lucky we can't go cos I'd probably buy a ticket to give him a bit more stick
