Whitey Grandad Posted 22 October, 2019 Share Posted 22 October, 2019 And had that been us instead of Sheff Utd, then we would almost certainly have still found a way to lose to them. Too many times already this season teams have been there for the taking but we have failed to capitalise. Man Utd and Spurs played terribly against us but we only got one point from those games. Wolves on Saturday - take away the disallowed goals and the only thing they created was a penalty from a blatant dive, and we still didn't manage to beat them. As it stands, I'm not convinced at all that there are three worse teams than us in the league this season. And yet we beat Sheffield United on their own ground.

Sheaf Saint Posted 22 October, 2019 Share Posted 22 October, 2019 And yet we beat Sheffield United on their own ground. We got quite lucky in that game. Our defence was all over the place and we got a letoff with a disallowed goal, a non-penalty that should have been given to them, and a pretty harsh red card. They worked hard all game (harder than we did) and were unlucky to lose it really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 22 October, 2019 Share Posted 22 October, 2019 It was disallowed because it was offside. Granted. But our defence still managed to make a hash of it and concede the shot regardless. The point being they created a lot of chances and can rightly feel aggrieved they didn't get anything from the game. I'm usually as optimistic as they come, but I have seen precious little in our recent performances to convince me that we have got enough about us to finish above three other teams come May. I hope I'm wrong, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that two wins (I know, I know, one win would be nice, let alone two!) puts you in the top 10 shows how crap the league still is outside of the usual contenders.

Was really strange one, Connelly definitely made a meal of it. Yes the defender stood on his foot by accident but for Connolly to throw himself to the ground I guess is just being smart and forcing the review. It’s a shame that staying on your feet is not the correct thing to do anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 27 October, 2019 Share Posted 27 October, 2019 Another VAR cock up , it’s just a lottery now , even worse than pre VAR ....... Yeah it’s getting ridiculous. After VAR Hudson Odoi got rightly booked for a dive in the box yesterday. That run and dive was virtually identical to Doherty’s against us last week. My bet is that there’d already made 2 (correct) calls against Wolves so didn’t want to make a third one. The system is still wide open to corruption.

tajjuk Posted 27 October, 2019 Share Posted 27 October, 2019 Looked similar to me as the Keane penalty yesterday, how is a defender supposed to stop something like that? Never kick the ball, Mane comes from behind him, Aurier is looking at the ball and is trying to kick it and Mane just blocks his leg in the way.
