Viking Saint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Just now, trousers said: I think we've slightly out played City overall but the difference is they are more clinical than us The bit of extra quality that having a billionaire owner can buy. Not unhappy with this first half performance, not out of this by any stretch

egg Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 1 minute ago, Sheaf Saint said: Yep. And again just then. Ball down the line was the obvious play there but he preferred to play it backwards and inside instead. Many times. Inside into a tight space. Backwards. Anywhere than Djenepo unless there's no other option. It completely nullifies our left side. 2
obelisk Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Now that he's on a yellow and missing the next game could be a good time to Sub Romeo.
egg Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Shit. Hopefully not long. N'Lundulu or Tella please. 1
trousers Posted 19 December, 2020 Author Posted 19 December, 2020 (edited) Tella on. Brave move? Edited 19 December, 2020 by trousers
OttawaSaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Time for a quick hat trick Tella, no pressure...
trousers Posted 19 December, 2020 Author Posted 19 December, 2020 (edited) Both our holding midfielders on yellows now... This is only going one way now, isn't it? Edited 19 December, 2020 by trousers
Sheaf Saint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Fucksake Dean. That's two blatant fouls not given in quick succession there.
BotleySaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Tough game from now. And both center mids on yellows. Not going well.
OttawaSaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Mike Dean fuck off already. No foul on Walcott and then can’t wait to get the card for JWP.
Plastic Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 well, that's our run done then. nice while it lasted. 1
nta786 Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Walcott has been our best player thus far I’d say very impressed atm 2
obelisk Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Ref starting to give City everything. Only to be expected. 1

trousers Posted 19 December, 2020 Author Posted 19 December, 2020 (edited) Why the f**k is that not a yellow for Cancelo? Edited 19 December, 2020 by trousers
nta786 Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Mike Dean has always been a cu*t I swear we have a terrible record with him. Northern bas*erd
Edmonton Saint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 And no yellow, fuck off Dean. I Can't stand that bloke.

obelisk Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Theo getting clobbered but still no yellow.
DT Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 They seem to be immune to yellows from this idiot ref
LGTL Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Wish a player would take a lifetime ban just to smack the arrogant twat Dean in the face to be honest. 1
Saint_clark Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Cards everywhere for Saints, nothing for repeated fouls from Cancelo. 2
trousers Posted 19 December, 2020 Author Posted 19 December, 2020 (edited) Ralph might as well bring Diallo on for Romeu at half time. (a) so he can get a bit of game time alongside JWP and (b) because we surely can't continue with both our midfield enforcers on yellows? Our game plan relies on conceding yellows in the middle of the park where necessary... Edited 19 December, 2020 by trousers 1
BotleySaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 We've done ok but nothing to show for it. City could step it up and obliterate us at any moment. Hopefully we can hang in there and get a deserved goal second half.
OttawaSaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Hmm. Just like Arsenal we got punished for dozing off once. Had plenty of chances to equalize. Have been the better team IMO.
Maggie May Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 2 minutes ago, Plastic said: More concerned about the loss of Romeo Diallo will come in against Fulham. Ideal game for a start tbh.
Sheaf Saint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Annoying. Citeh not really deserving of their lead and Dean showing ridiculous bias towards them. Gonna be one of those games where we will get robbed and the press will jerk themselves off about how good Citeh are to overcome a tough test.

bpsaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Was it the same knee as recently that Ings has done?
Saint_clark Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Weird that Tella came on instead of Redmond. If Tella doesn't impress now he's left himself wide open to criticism.
striker Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Ings is worrisome. I hope its nothing serious. May need to sit him until he's completely healthy
Saint_clark Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Just now, bpsaint said: Was it the same knee as recently that Ings has done? Yep. Last season was a fluke going injury free. Starting to think we should cash in after all.
trousers Posted 19 December, 2020 Author Posted 19 December, 2020 I've said it once and I'll say it again, I somehow feel more relaxed going in 1 down than I would if we were 1 up... 1
saint1977 Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Dean is dreadful, his Tranmere supporting hides his awe of Liverpool and the two Manchester clubs. No wonder Ralph fuming. Cancelo lack of a yellow card a pathetically weak decision, or lack of one. Brown-nosing Pep. Hope Ings just precaution, opportunity for Tella to counter at their back line. Adams should have scored and Vesty got his header on target although has a very good game so far. Get Redmond on for Djenepo, has been very poor. Walcott superb and KWP good game,
StrangelyBrown Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 We don't deserve to be losing this - we've had far more chances than them, their quality showing in taking their best chance. I'm wondering what it is that is preventing Dean from getting his yellow out for man city players (except de bruyne) - another biased to the big boys performance so far.
trousers Posted 19 December, 2020 Author Posted 19 December, 2020 Twice as many touches in their box...
davefizzy14 Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 (edited) We are doing well so far, been the better side in the 1st half. We gave away a soft goal in a 5 minute spell. Aside from that we been the better team. Massive blow losing Ings, hope its not too bad. Theo been best player on the pitch. Mike Dean is just a complete waste of space. Didn't book Cancelo for a blatant foul on Theo, but books Prowsey for the first challenge he makes. How was that not a penalty on Ings too, they didn't even look at it! Come on lads let's get back into this in the 2nd half Edited 19 December, 2020 by davefizzy14
The Cat Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Playing well, just got done by a quick move and decent finish. Unfortunately we're sat in front of the one bloke in the stadium who can't stop moaning. Otherwise the fans have been really positive which is how it should be considering we're having a damn good season.
