Ha fucking hell Micah

Haha

 

[BigJoe#1]

Bernardo and Phil on - win 3-1

why not 3-0?

 

[Chi-town blues]

3-0 city

 

[TrentGrisham]

Surprised at all the criticism of Nunes. He's certainly lost the ball a few times in midfield(which makes me question Pep's decision to not play Phil there for just that reason even more) but he's been good for me otherwise.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

We have to give them time. Gundo or Rodri weren't rated by many when they first came.

Was just gonna mention this. They were ridiculed by some. Now they’re fucking icons.

 

[Blue2202]

Yeah I love Kova but he’s been anonymous, at least Nunes is getting involved.

Not slating him but what is Nunes actual midfield position? Hes certainly not a holder and looks a bit lost playing advanced. Also doesn't look a box to box type.

 

[dronefromsector7G]

why not 3-0?

Because I think they’ll score one?

 

[TueartsOHK]

Is it true that Haaland hasn’t scored in 5 games? Shall I mention it again for those who didn’t know :-)

 

[sir baconface]

Pretty boring.

I’m hoping Jezza and Jack will stick to it and make things happen second half.

 

[steviemc]

We go forward with as much threat as a group of Morris dancers .

10 shots on goal with 6 on target in the first 45 minutes suggests going forward isn't the issue. Finishing our chances is key at the moment.

 

[roach3]

Despite what oppo fans think we haven’t replaced like for like
Gundo and ffs so much better
Remember when we used to score 3/4 or even 5 goals in some games.
Still I’m sure we will win this once the first goal goes in

Yeah, didnt mean to slag them bit they obviously aint anything like Bellingham, not even the same planet

 

[Chippy_boy]

Awful? Ok we’ve not scored but awful? Fuck me I can only assume you are a spoiled brat JCL who doesn’t have a clue what awful is

Made me laugh. I remember awful, and this is not it.

 

[Chi-town blues]

This bird on TNT is sexy as fuck.

tnt knows how to hire a dynamite.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Yes throwing his arms about wtf ??

His ego is currently three steps ahead of his capabilities

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I'm staying away from home, so I've just been down to the bar for some HT refreshment, and I'm good to go for the second half. I would have spent the match in the bar, but they've got the Geordies game on the TV...

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Thought he could have put Erling through there.

 

[Josh_D]

Doku was coming in on the right there. Surprised Nunes took the shot

 

[Haaland94]

Oh yes, agree totally. but hes finding lots of space. I can see him being a decent player, hence the finding his feet. Once he learns our pattern and stops trying too hard.

He's got great great vision for a pass/run. Brilliant technique, and he is fast. He loses the ball a little too much, but that's easily fixed. People are scapegoating him here way too much. Very active in the 1st half. Many worse than him, IMO.

Why? It's the match thread. It's why some people are on here; to whinge.
