If you don’t think we needed subs in that game then we’re done debating.

Fucking great !

 

[Bald fraud]

Meh

Meh all you want pal you think that pen was good fair do’s

 

[Blue Mist]

The players always give a good account to themselves so I will take the draw from the defeat we were facing at half time.

The only observation I may whisper with a very hushed tone is maybe Allison is tiny bit better then Ederson overall!
I don’t know if anyone agrees to this

Sorry but you are wrong. They are totally different. Allison could not play like Pep wants him too. He may be a better shot stopper but that is not why Eddie is here.

If the dippers lose on Tuesday we win the league before the Villa game..

Southampton wouldn't win that game if yer gave them a three goal start. How many times have they shipped nine fuckin' goals in a game. We have to beat Villa. Slippy Steve will probably turn up with two goalies and five centre backs and try to give his beloved Dippers the chance they RDAHMeedya crave.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

I think at least one of them will start on the bench and that's without Robertson and Fabinho.

Klipperty will try and hedge his bets.

I don’t think he will play them. They only need to beat Southampton now and the last few weeks they have been awful. It will be an easy win for the dippers that and then on to next week. I think wolves will be an easy game for them too.

If you had offered me a draw before the game i would have been reasonably happy , if it was offered at half time i would have snatched your hand off , strange i am so pissed off that we got that draw , thanks Mahrez.

 

[Luke The Blue]

So far as I know he's not out there on the pitch. None of the Villa players will have anything like his motivation to piss on our chips. In a sense, this isn't even like QPR. It was our first PL title, every player was completely bricking it, Sergio more than anyone (that's been coming out loud and clear in the anniversary interviews of the last two weeks), and QPR had a relegation threat on the line.
Sure we could lose. In football, anything can happen. We play our game, we win. I will admit that the defence worries me. Including Ed.

No way I thought he still played?

But seriously mate I hope I'm wrong but it just seems like one of them things in football that is destined to happen. If we turn up we win like you say but I can already see the media wankathon up Gerrard and Liverpools arse.

 

[big gaz]

Load of shit, mate. You can always tell a football ignoramus because they don’t understand the basics of substitutions. The reason we didn’t make any changes was because we completely bossed the second half and looked like scoring with every attack. Substitutions would have been daft because we didn’t need to make one and it could have disrupted us.

Nice one Dave that post alone will keep the fucker going for another hour ;-)

This is exactly how I feel. Villa at home, win and we're champions, I'd have take any week of the season.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Tell you what, we will regret if we let Jesus go this summer ahead of Sterling.

His desire and intensity is a huge asset to us.

 

[Legal Alien]

If we not beat Villa we deserve to lose title. We should smash them at home. I dont want any excuses.

We also have Foden to come in, Sterling and Gundogan are also fresh and hopefully Ake will be fit.

We're playing at home to win the title, enough said!

Should have done everything to Let mahrez go instead

 

[Moss Side's Finest]

Having calmed down and giving it some thought. From previous experience, I think it is quite easy to tell which players are going to miss a penalty by the look on their face as they put the ball down. Mahrez's face had all the characteristics of someone who was not at all comfortable taking it. Really just don't understand why he's taking that kick with the form KDB has been in of late.

 

[ShedDweller]

The main thing about that point is it makes a big dipper win against Southampton meaningless.

They could well ship 6 or 7 in the week.

If we can’t beat Villa when it really matters we can’t complain.

I trust these lads to get it done

 

[Pedestrian]

Fucking great !

Cool.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

To be honest Im now glad we are going into this this knowing we have to win (Dippers winning midweek of course)
No half heartedness in our play,just full on attack

It didn't change much really because we would still have needed at least draw against Villa and sometimes, especially for us, it's easier to play for a win. We don't really do draws do we?

 

[Legal Alien]

I agree, i hope we give him a new contract.
I would let both Sterling and Mahrez go before Jesus

 

[Blueboy73]

Well a fully qualified referee, Alty Taylor didn't think it was, even though it was crystal clear and right in front of him.

Alty, along with everyone else thought so with the benefit of a replay.
I was asking if the other poster still thought it wasn't with the benefit of seeing it again.

But they are rare events for us generally under Pep.
