Diaz is def back for the Leeds game fyi so we are finally back to a pretty much fully fit squad. Our next 9 games all look very winnable.. do we believe? leeds away forest home west ham away Spurs home fulham home Brentford home Leicester away Villa home saints away
I turned it off before Keane started talking at the end before I started throwing stuff at the telly. I really dislike him.
loss draw loss win win win loss loss draw probably something like that against anyone willing to push hard at us.
anyone with a fast lad to hoof it at down trents channel while holding a good narrow shape easily gets a result. why? we leave massive gaps everywhere and play too narrow up top to exploit space plus nobody really gets in the box enough if we do actually get in wide. we need a whole new tactical outlook and need to get the big man in the middle along with firmino. gakpo needs to go lw and Jota to the bench. go 442 if we like but for the love of Jesus stop thinking trent can play cm with konate rb and vvd lb.
what grates is in the "bigger" games we have showed we can still play at a high level but can't be arsed against the also rans
you will note the video evidence that clearly proves Robertson never touched the linesman is being deleted all over the net and the tef already dealt tenth the indicent via a yellow card so the fa will have to have a very expensive meeting at a very expensive restaurant and drink a lot of expensive brandy to come up with a charge from that. the lino is dead to rights striking with elbow. Robertson at worst can be charged with dissent which the ref dealt with via yellow card so the first step is to tinker with the refs report to give him a yellow for mouth at ref not lino. the state or Robertson defending today played a part in both goals. *too wide v saka, then slips but tactically had to be aware all arsenal do is start wide to cut in * didn't bother his arse getting back in for Jesus free header. could see it all developing and had time.
doesn't clear Robertson from the Howard Webb call to Roy keane who accused Robertson of grabbing the ref. the other angle clearly showed no contract from Robertson (view from our bench area)
Garth has only put trent in his team of week based on making an assist. Ignore the rank performance first half like
MOTD2 have just covered the linesman’s elbow on Robertson and have shown the angle I posted as well as the video from the bench. The twat hasn’t a leg to stand on. What I didn’t remember from the match was Xhaka raising his elbow to Trent which caused the booking and Trent pushing him.
Great to see some aggression and determination today been a long time since we've played like that. Not interested in the Robbo thing tbh.
No. Either Newcastle or United have to lose four games, and we have to not drop a point. This Liverpool side? Even two seasons ago - maybe. But THIS Liverpool side winning nine on the bounce? Just no. Sorry.
this is the worst snow job ever by the former ref brigade. 'Assistant ref drama Q&A: Dermot on Robertson incident - and next steps' http://www.skysports.com/share/12854032 as far as I am concerned if you cannot call that straight you cannot go on parroting about var rights and wrong. can't put yourself in his head? really? every week this clown is on pontificating about refs getting decisions right etc. complete snow job on sky.
I'm more riled because all over Twitter and the rest of social media (can't be arsed looking in to see what the ***** knuckle-draggers on the Prem Board think) there's a narrative that Robbo 'grabbed' the lino. It's clearly obvious that he did no such thing. A few weeks ago much was made about a lino grabbing Fernandes in a desperate scramble to excuse him from shoving the official pretty aggressively. Here we have an official being excused by the Court of Social Media for recklessly throwing an elbow in the throat of a player because he was - shouted at? Robbo will end up being suspended for this, and in fairness he does tread the path of ****housery and gobshitery with the very best (including the guy describing him as a 'baby' today, who spent his entire career berating and haranguing every official he ever stepped on a pitch with). But they can **** the **** off if they can waffle away Bruno's hysterical handbags on one side of the coin, then (rightly) crucify Mitrovic for doing little more than Fernades, then finally blame the victim today to cover their bent arses.
