Monk Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 I mean as much as I utterly despise RM and I want him out, Anthony Taylor was an utter fucking disgrace today. We’ve become such a laughing stock of a club, nothing about us. I’ve never felt so disillusioned and disconnected… club feels mediocre from top to bottom. At least we’ve got new fan zones though. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A penalty shout and potentially 3-1 to a penalty, 2-2 and down to 10 men in the space of 3 minutes for the same foul is giving him an excuse. We lost because of that corner setup. Forget everything else. That corner setup has cost us 4 points vs Leicester and Ipswich. Not only that but we didn't make the change to stop fatawa after repeated immediate warnings and threats where he ripped us open. Who watched that out of all of us and didn't immediately see it was a problem. Taylor was on the bench, but we left manning and fraser to defend against that whilst we were cut apart - needlessly.. And just like Bournemouth first half, it was obvious and he didn't react until the game was effectively over. Yes. Taylor has just done us dirty. But Martin has helped.

SWLondon Saint Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Feel a bit sorry for RM as the referee was bent as a nine bob note. Missed everything, bookings were a joke. VAR should have looked at the Vardy foul on Suga as let's face it, he has previous with injuring people. BUT also RM made some of the worst subs ever. Noone who could defend on the left side. We put zero pressure on crosses into our box. And as multiple people have pointed out, we have a huge problem at the top of our box on set pieces. Our defensive set up is a mess. It's tough, as going forward we did look better and he has compromised on going short all the time. But our defensive mess is a huge problem and I think that's on him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dellyears Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 With all those subs coming onand just messing us up, why was lallana still on the bench, the one player who could calm it all down. Think RM is probably in awe of him, he knows more about the game than the guy trying to manage. Why prefer Smallbone and Fraser to him/ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morse Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 We're shit. There are three reasons why we are shit. Sacking RM adresses one problem. But we'll still have one of the weakest squads in the Premier league (problem 2), and we have muppets appointing managers and buying players (problem 3) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 I’ve not been so fucking angry walking out a ground for a while. Taylor was an absolute disgrace but that’s a side issue. It doesn’t even need much analysis as the reason for the total implosion was 2 substitutes. If Taylor and Lallana come on instead of Fraser and Smallbone then we win 2-0. Manning at LB is a fucking disaster and you don’t replace your best player with Smallbone. Completely lost the midfield and Winks just kept spraying it out to Fatawa to destroy Manning. Useless, absolutely fucking useless from Russell Martin. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancouver Saint Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 "2-0 and you f-cked it up" sing the Leicester fans. Too right - it takes some real incompetence to go from 2-0 up at home and cruising with 30 minutes to go and losing. Smallbone? Seriously? That substitution alone tells me how clueless RM is. Did Smallbone touch the ball? The extra-extra time winner was so predictable I laughed. Numbed to it now. Officiatiing was poor - VAR refs ridiculously inconsistent - worked against us but wasn't the reason we lost. So time really is up for Martin now for me. Must win transformed into another loss. Graham Potter come on down... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not strong, fit or coached well enough to shore up a lead. So I'm not the only one who thinks we aren't fit enough. It's looked like a problem right from the start. I seem to remember Strachan taking over and saying a lack of fitness was the first thing he was going to change. Not the only problem for a new (hopefully) manager of course 🤣 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madge Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 13 minutes ago, RedArmy said: All the focus will be on Martin tonight and he can go for all I care but that’s on the ref. Booked multiple players for absolutely nothing in the first half while they were kicking lumps out of us, going in from behind etc and we didn’t even get a foul. The Dibling one on the edge of the box is as obvious of a foul as you’ll see and he told him to get up. The 2 penalty scenarios are the icing on the cake of a fixed game of football. The red wasn’t the one that failed to mark players on the edge of the box… although the ref was a disgrace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 (edited) There's a real softness to this team. We just got away with it last season as we were a level above most teams. At this level we won't, we've already squandered 5 points from home games against main relegation rivals. I'd love someone like Moyes to come in try and instill some backbone.
