Match Day Thread NUFC vs Arsenal

Wrong. He took a tactic which we have used successfully before. A tactic which just about every manager has used. We did not panic and am totally unable to find any shred of evidence to back this up. Care to share?

 

The Leeds game we only had one striker and that striker was Osula. No wonder we didn't score. But you were right, far too defensive in that match.

 

Ah, a sensible critique as opposed to an extreme panic and throw the baby out with bath water observation.

 

Another one the Ref and VAR ****ed upon

law 12

VIOLENT CONDUCT

Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made.

In addition, a player who, when not challenging for the ball, deliberately strikes an opponent or any other person on the head or face with the hand or arm, is guilty of violent conduct unless the force used was negligible.

this was behind the refs back and VAR should have intervened

Yes the result.

 

Got to say been impressed by the little I’ve heard out of Woltemade, speaks well, seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

100% that should have been a red but equally though big Joe was a little lucky, blatant booking and then sarcastically clapping and giving thumbs up to the ref. Also still think it was a pen from Gabriel, so he was lucky to be on, lucky not to have gifted us a chance for 2-0 and then he goes and nicks a winner… ****ing typical

 

Just shows how poor VAR is used in this country
getting old pals to over rule you is not going to happen much

had VAR been implemented correctly and corrected the ref on 4 or 5 occasions as it should have in this game,
this would just show up the incompetence of the refs on the field -not going to happen with the old pals brigade at Lancaster Gate

 

what a load of bollocks

how could anyone say 100% that the ball hit his body
and there is no way that the ref could have spotted that the ball hit his body
even with 4 different angles it's impossible to see so how come the ref sees it
****ing cheating bastards l

 

So, by that logic, if we lose we have panicked? Doesn’t make much sense to me.

Throw in the blatant penalty late on which we should have been given and the likelihood of scoring that penalty could easily have meant that we won. In which case, I assume, that would have meant we didn’t panic and that EH was a tactical genius, or not.

Your post to me, therefore, doesn’t make sense. The difference between us panicking or not panicking being a clearly wrong decision made by PB’s close friends.

 

Yet we scored in the first

 

We should make him wear a skin tight one and grease him up before entering the field of play. That'll sort em Trev.

 

Traoré use to do that when playing for Wolves

 

Err, it’s PB wanting a fashion change, no doubt on advice from Chippy.

But what you post on your OF channel is really a matter for you.

 

The ones he improved are the ones hounded out as Ashley players.
Botman beaten all ends up by Merino for their first goal.

 

Yes, against the run of play.

 

That "attack" on Woltemade would be a locking up and charged with assault offence if done on the streets. Hope that dirty Brazilian cnut gets his karma for that sooner rather than later

 

He should have been off. Don’t understand how he can’t get a retrospective red though as the ref didn’t see it. Not being mentioned though

 

Irrelevant that it’s against the run of play. You said we did nothing yet we scored. It’s not disallowed because it’s against the run of play.

 

Not sure i said we did nothing, i said outplayed, of course you can still get the odd corner etc even if the other side is better, and we scored from one.
