nta786 Posted 27 February, 2022 Share Posted 27 February, 2022 Annoying that Wolves took 6 points off us this season when perhaps 2 pts would have been fairer. Had both games been a draw i.e. Bednarek defends Jiminez better, and perhaps Perraud scores in the 91st minute with his header, then we'd have been on 37 points and them on 36 (as it stands live) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky Posted 27 February, 2022 Share Posted 27 February, 2022 If you spend close to 100 million mid season and not stay up, especially given how poor some of the teams at the bottom are, you should be routinely sacked at the end of season.

Unless you are Howe, in which case they should build you a statue. On the upside, last time he was in the prem bournemouth spent big money and he didn't stay up, so atleast it's personal improvement Edited 27 February, 2022 by TWar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttawaSaint Posted 27 February, 2022 Share Posted 27 February, 2022 (edited) Looking at the table. 9th place, Wolves 5pts ahead of us in 8th, same number of games played. Happy to be 9th but annoying that both games vs Wolves had contentious decisions in them that favorured Wolves. Had it been 2 draws we'd be ahead of them.

If Newcastle stay up I think they are due to pay another £20m or something for him. Ah ok, didnt know that. My initial point was more about they still spent butt loads of money on the other players, so their average spend on them was higher than the theoretical £25m each. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Posted 27 February, 2022 Share Posted 27 February, 2022 2 hours ago, Jack said: On Newcastle, I think the stars have aligned for them. A few new faces gave them a boost on the training ground when they got the cash injection and it coincided with the best run of fixtures you could ask for. Their 4 wins: Leeds A 0-1 - Leeds have been dross for weeks Everton H 3-1 - we’ve seen Everton’s away form for ourselves, one of the easiest fixtures on the calendar. Set on their way by an awful wall for Tripper FK Villa H 1-0 - Villa in terrible form too, lucky deflected FK from Trippier Brentford A 0-2 - played 80 mins against 10 men, put on a plate for them And 1-1 draws with Watford H, and West Ham A amongst that. It’s a good run but it’s all gone their way. Amusingly, their shit £25m striker is still shit and hasn’t scored, their star man has got injured, Targett tbf has been 6-7/10 every week. Burn has given them some more presence at the back. I still think they’ll lose plenty of games but sadly they’ve done enough to stay up Now look what you've done - you've mentioned the £2m shit striker that hasn't scored!

nta786 Posted 27 February, 2022 Share Posted 27 February, 2022 I hate Pool as much as anyone, can see why it was disallowed and it’s in line with the rules etc etc But I’d have changed the rules to give a goal like that, my opinion with all this involvement malarkey is that it should only matter if the GK vision/line of sight is impeded. It’s been an okay game though in fairness but the atmosphere is no different to what it would have been with any other teams, this fawning over Liverpool is annoying me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Munster Posted 27 February, 2022 Share Posted 27 February, 2022 I reckon FF would've saved one or two of the Liverpool penalties. Yes, many were very good, but some were nothing special. The "specialty penalty saver" keeper moved too soon, especially against the lower order penalty takers. And his penalty was laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvSFC Posted 27 February, 2022 Share Posted 27 February, 2022 Obvious dislike for Liverpool, but Kepa missing after his refusal to sub off a few years ago makes up for it. Part of the penalty shootout is psychological and facing Alisson or Mendy would have played on the shooters minds a lot more than what we saw with two goalkeepers looking like they'd never save a penalty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 27 February, 2022 Share Posted 27 February, 2022 Tuchel looks like an idiot now for that sub. Is Kepa even that good at saving penalties anyway?

Indeed, he replaced a keeper that was probably MotM with an outstanding clean sheet and several incredible saves, conceded against every single Liverpool player, and then missed his own kick. Every single one of his teammates scored. They literally couldn’t have done any more in the shootout, and it wasn’t enough because the keeper literally couldn’t have been any worse. You could write it, but it’d be considered a terrible and overblown storyline that was too unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
