'sick as a seaside'?I am the opposite.
I am as sick as a seaside about the kosher HK goal disallowed that fecked the game and probs our season.
Thanks but WHY 2 refs when the one on the pitch only needs someone to draw the lines ?One on the pitch, one in the box to tell the ref about a decision. If they can't decide they ask the ref to check. The issue today was simply that var agreed with the onfield decisions. I don't blame the linesman but the cunts in the box did all sorts with our goal, lines the lot and it was clearly level but it's given offside. On the Leeds goal they did not seem to check it in the same detail so I'm not convinced. It's like they knew they would find it was off and make the linesman look like a nob. The amount of refs isn't the issue. It's that they all work for the fa. Should be independent
So you would agree that he picked the wrong team today ?Played like a collection of footballers with no team ethic or purpose. The central defence was left without a central midfield to protect it and Leeds suckered us in with old fashioned wing play, which meant our fullbacks often had to try to mark two attacking players as neither Bale or Son came back to help. The central defenders got pulled wide and left a channel down the middle. We had no coherent plan to deal with it, and Hojberg decided to celebrate with one of his poorest performances in our colours. Making things worse.
Kanes goal should have stood, he was level so he was onside. VAR has gone from being an aid to the sport to being AIDS to the sport, its use has become ridiculous.
They played a better game than us and won on merit.
Lots of people who post on here are an embarrassment with their hysterical tirades against the same players, often when they were not the root cause of the problem.
Hojbjerg and Regulions form is a massive concern, but soon the pain will be over, the club needs a charismatic manager but I hope they keep Mason as his shadow, so he can learn about man management and motivation.
Sick as a seaside donkey.'sick as a seaside'?
Never heard that phrase before.
Sounds a banging night to meWhat's worse than anything is that I just felt apathetic. A sort of nothing. Third goal went in and I closed the laptop, hand cranked a fray bentos pie out of its tin and had a game of yahtzee. How fucking tragic is that?
Gio, Hojbjerg, Dele, Hugo all tried hard. Dier tried to atone for his errors in the second half, Toby did his best. They were just chasing the shadows of a well drilled team.What puzzles is me is half of these players are bezzie mateswirh mason why didn’t they actually show some fight desire work ethic for him today. The performance was flat. Even if his not a great motivator and at 28 is unlikely to be yet the players would surely put up a fight for him? Considering we still had a chance for top 4. His mates let him down big time.
Having said that he should not have been put in this situation. Get rid of Dino was correct may be too late. However why didn’t we just bring in Harry he’d have commanded respect and players like bale would have played for him and Harry would t have taken any nonsense. He would certainly have them motivated.
I don’t get levy decision making on this one.
They performances have been no better / no worse under mason than jose except may be there is less toxicity. But you’d think that would have lifted the players , unfortunately not.
Look at what Tuchel has done at Chelsea amazing work since he joined. Whilst we just plod through the season with a 29 yr old with no experience what so ever. Not dissing mason not his fault but levy’s for his lack of for thought!
FoxboroYou horrible horrible cunt.
Card this shite ladies and gents
I don't think anyone would have predicted that Hojberg would have such a below par game, and I would guess that he felt by being aggressive with such an attacking line up, that it would nullify the athletic pressing game that they play. However, Bale and Son weren't as effective at dropping back into MF to support the full backs and Leeds capitalised on the numerical superiority and the defensive ineptitude of Aurier and Regulion.Thanks but WHY 2 refs when the one on the pitch only needs someone to draw the lines ?
So you would agree that he picked the wrong team today ?
BTW brilliant analysis, I think that today 2 defensive midfielders would have been the key.
Silly statement about st maximum.LOL
St Maximan is bang average.
And these guys play like such shit that we are comfortably in the top half of the table.
I have already shown that if you take Kane out, again a dumb thing to do anyways, we still are much better than the sides at the bottom.
Aarons choosing fucking everton instead of us and woolwichThe squad needs a refresh and impetus and hunger. Tanganga should be in first team next season at centre back and learn from toby. Skipp will probably be in first team squad as well. Can see aarons arriving from norwich. Would like to see another eriksen in there. Also an attacking pacy winger who can strike fear in defences. Been crying out for that for a few years. Should go for zaha.
You're right. With him we are still pure garbage.I have complained about the squad many times but it isn't, we aren't a bottom team if we move on from Kane and we have had success before Kane got here and can easily have success when he goes.
The notion that if Kane leaves we are screwed is pure garbage.
Pereira a good shout.Aarons will come to us i reckon. Would like pereira from west brom. Bag of tricks and can be a fans favourite.
