I agree mate. I was just joking, as every time we drop points there is a general sea of negativity on here, and the mob won't like that you have posted something positive, as everyting is shit apparently.

I feed off the mobs weakness.

 

[MMA]

There are some remarkably ridiculous emotional posts so far.

Had that last second chance gone in everyone’s cocks out and pep’s a genius. Fine margins.

Actually thought we played really well in general.

But, you have to kill games off when on top. Too many times this season we haven’t done that. Needs to improve.

I’m not one to moan about refs but that **** was beyond bent.

We did play well in general.
But for playing with 9 men..
Phil and erling were shite mate..

 

[willipp]

Really disappointing result and hard to see us getting anywhere near Arsenal now. We just were miles off it tonight and though the ref was shit, we were shitter.

 

[eversince 76]

We were lucky vs Leeds and unlucky tonight. Nothing won or lost but it’s a bit of a downer for sure. We cud’ve or shud’ve had a penalty despite all shouts soft ones.

Still progress, as we played decent both halves….

And yes, O’Reilly was missed.

 

[SMB75]

Let's be honest thats been coming for weeks. We are deluding ourselves if we think we are going to win it. No chance.
What the hell does pep say at half time to thiem.into shit? It even happened against fucking Salford.

The team are ambling and drifting through games, pedestrian football with loads of possession doesn't cut it.
A lot of the team checked out weeks ago, no doubt with an eye on the world cup
Foden and Haaland look disinterested at times, to name 2.
Shocking performance.

 

[goater1985]

Very frustrating. Played well in parts but pedestrian when we used to go for the kill when leading.

Didn't get the rub of the green with the penalties, both rodri and haaland could have been given, think Haalands was a pen but the fact the ref just gave no decision on either was poor. VAR doesn't overturn either if given.

That goes in at the end and momentum still with us..fine margins.

Isn't quite over as Arse aren't convincing but realistically need them to drop points in 3/4 games, including us beating them.

Frustrating night following the recent highs.

 

[Gray]

We're crap mate, tarquins are crap too in their own way but our football is slow and boring.

Thought we were slowly getting better, but went backwards at warp speed tonight.

 

[East Level 2]

Bringing Savinho on when a goal is needed. What the fuck is Pep smoking?

 

[LongsightM13]

Yes he did.

That’s a pretty low bar tbf
Phill is a shadow of who he used to be, sad to watch

 

[Superted Lichfield]

Was they fuck. Get a grip.
How long have you been watching football for ffs.

Couldn't give a fuck what anyone says..
Erling and Phil tonight were like playing with 9 men.
Shite both of them.
Can't fault the rest..
Mush should have come on for erling.
Phil should be off looking long and hard in the mirror.
9 men..

Nailed it…. Marmoush must be fuming! How’s he supposed to establish himself when it Haaland seems like can’t be subbed even if he is contributing nothing and is having a stinker.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Weirdly not doom and gloom after that. I thought we played some brilliant football tonight and it was yet again just a little bit of sloppiness at the back and a lack of composure up top that cost us from winning comfortably. Got to give credit to Forest, two quality goals and defended for their lives.

As much as its easy to agree with you, its not the first time weve come away saying this.

We have to be more ruthless in front of goal, and show much more intent to go and get the 2nd and 3rd goals.

 

[stan bowles]

Really disappointing but remember the Sunderland 2-2 game in 2012 (different circumstances in that we came back after a great Balotelli cameo) but we came away thinking the league was gone. A lot can still happen. Credit to Forest.

Because you knew that was a one-off result (we won every other home league game that season). Things are very different with this team and we're sure to drop more points if recent games are anything to go by.

 

[melrose40yarder]

Savinho did more in 10 Minutes than Foden did in 60

Says it all

 

[blue_danube]

That first paragraph you wrote describes a foul hahaha. Their player went for the ball… missed the ball and caught Rodri who had already played the ball. It’s a foul, it’s late. It’s a stone wall penalty, just like if it was outside the box it would be a free kick

But what if the momentum of trying to make a tackle naturally makes you kick the opponents foot once the ball leaves because the shot had gone and that's where the ball was?

If that's a foul then its a silly rule because it means defenders can't really attempt to beat an attacker to the ball without it being a pen almost every time they don't.

If that should be a pen by the rules then I think that's a poor rule.

Not a pen for me. Two players went for the ball, one got a shot away and there was a natural collision where the ball was.

 

[Taylor]

Thought we were slowly getting better, but went backwards at warp speed tonight.

Agreed way to slow and predictable

 

[Blue Maverick]

Fucking hell!
Is this still the match day forum???

Give your heads a wobble fellas.
It’s not the end of the world and no the league is not over yet.

Disappointing but we go not have a God given right to win every game.

No we don’t but it’s the manner of the draw that’s the issue, this style of play has had its day or if it hasn’t we certainly don’t have the players to execute that plan. We lack width, we don’t find the centre forward enough and we are so high up it’s piss easy to counter us. Everyone can see this but the one who counts Pep.

 

[Chak19]

Thought we were slowly getting better, but went backwards at warp speed tonight.

Like I said, you think we're done with the slow rubbish and then it slaps in you in the face again at the worst moment.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Best post of this thread. Title race is definitely on. They will also drop points. We play the better football for sure!!!

Not sure there's a trophy for that unfortunately

 

[robbieh]

Yes he did.

Actually in 10 minutes he did more than a few did in 90. Certain he was better than Doku.

 

[Eaststander1]

Blimey, Newcastle's ten men have beat the rags ......

Only bright spot of the evening !
