Odubajo very very good. Put more experienced colleagues to shame. Diame how **** was he? Dunno how or why he stayed on the pitch. Hud. ****ing hell. Just ****ing hell tom. What was that?? Subbed on 52 minutes. Appalling. Lucky to be on that long. My mate reckoned Meyler looked to be coming on after 35 minutes. Credit to the Derby fans superb after the game. Would it have hurt for the players to come out on the balcony at the end??
I've waited 25 ****ing minutes on Sky Sports News for **** all. While we have watched a Man U ****fest, we are a big club still and Rashford is ace over and over again. ****s.
Diame was a disgrace. He should have torn this division apart and I've been waiting all season for him to do it. A real let down. I'd tell him to pack his bags tomorrow, if it wasn't for the fact I can see him suddenly turning it on at Wembley. Didn't think Hudd was that bad though.
I didn't think Hudd was that bad either, strange role to give him having Diame drop off with Livermore and getting Hudd further forward and having him close down, Tom maybe many things but a chaser he certainly isn't, too easy for Derby to move the ball round him and into the gap he left. Tom sat back and protected our back four with real authority on Saturday why change that?
Bruce said Thudd was carrying an injury and maybe he shouldn't have played him for so long. Diame was doing a strange role which worked at Derby (just) of trying to be a fifth midfielder to try and stop them playing it out from the back through the middle of the park and to be the second attacker when we broke forward. Unfortunately, he is way to slow and/or lazy when running back and tonight was very poor, but probably still had our best chance of scoring, which is why I think Bruce persists with him.
Walking down towards Anlaby I heard Bruce on the radio saying Huddlestone wasn't fit. I agree with hell and happiness, I honestly don't care if I ever see Diame play for us again after that
If you're gonna play hoof ball? You need 2 players to hoof it to! If not it'll keep F'king coming back at ya!!!
It's not worth it for me, tonight he had a couple of runs on goal and literally nothing else, Meyler in for Wembley
Or at least one who enjoys chasing lost causes and holding it up. Not Hernandez's game at all. We don't have anyone in our squad who does that. Akpom runs around but he doesn't know where most of the time. Would have been soft but he was pulled back. You wouldn't complain if it was given outside the box. They had three free kicks on the edge of our box for nothing. The Livermore one where he got booked was absurd. God knows what the ref thought he saw. I don't like how it's just accepted that when a player is pulled back by th shoulder he dives forward to the ground d and everyone pretends it was a result of the challenge. It's a dive for me. You either get taken down or you stay up. You're never 'entitled' to go down by choice. That's probably what Odubajo's one was and definitely what Hughes did in the second half.
The Livemore booking was a travesty, I thought for a moment he was going to send him off too, typical Premier League idiot referee. He was big on his stupid gestures tonight, obviously fancies himself as the next Collina or Howard Webb
Odubajo had the choice of passing the ball or falling over - for some reason he chose to fall over - he's been watching Elmo too much
I've not been able to sleep after that. **** knows what I'd be like if we'd lost it completely. ****ing hell city.
As ****e as Diame was, I thought Snodgrass was just as poor in the first half. He coughed up the ball to them pretty much every time he got it, and had that rabbit trapped in the headlights look about him. Sorted himself out in the second half by playing deeper. I thought Hendricks for them was superb, always available and got forward unnoticed. Dealing with him should have been Diame's job - which might explain things a bit.
