To be fair it is a big win for them, they are in the quarter finals. I'd be dancing about if we had won, no matter who we played.Look at those celebrations.
We are so fucking huge!!!!
In Europe its been like this for decades and its now creeeping into the PL.time wasting and cheating is the norm it seems now
both borges and mebude are entirely dependent on the team to play through balls, told you they are overrated.
Saw the last 15 minutes and all I saw was plenty of diving and cheating. Even the balls boys refusal to throw the balls back was a piss take. Also the freekick given to us on the edge of the box was a penalty as Borges foot was on the line when dragged back. As for the sending off, words fail me. How can Burns have fallen for that...
Indeed it is. It’s obviously something that’s hammered into them from an early age and I get the principle. Sometimes though, a bit of chaos is required, particularly if you’re losing with less than 10 minutes left!Its something that needs sorting,(maybe u18's aside) throughout the club.We lack urgency,we lack aggression,and we put far too much emphasis on possession without looking for our front man.
Today.much like the first team,we have bossed the game and looked technically so much better,yet we have been caught out by basic tactic and been our own worst enemy.
Infuriating.
The principle is perfect - control the ball and you control the game - but there needs to be another option or teams just work it out. We remain, at times, too simple to score against.Its something that needs sorting,(maybe u18's aside) throughout the club.We lack urgency,we lack aggression,and we put far too much emphasis on possession without looking for our front man.

U18 no different in terms of style but they are just so far ahead of most U18 teams they are rarely challenged. I watched them lose 1-0 to Everton early in the season and it was similar, 10 men behind the ball and got us on the break, and right up until the final whistle the same patient passing game and eventual defeat. Be interesting to see if Everton do the same again this weekend.Its something that needs sorting,(maybe u18's aside) throughout the club.We lack urgency,we lack aggression,and we put far too much emphasis on possession without looking for our front man.
