One of them was offside tbf, although I thought it was on based on just eyesight. The other was a clear and obvious error because there was no foul. Not sure why VAR didn't intervene.People are probably pissed because having 2 legit goals disallowed in the VAR era is frustrating.
He was far more involved in the game and added more to our attack than some others. Yes, his attempts were disappointing but I don’t think he was anywhere near our weakest player.Doherty put in a decent shift??? loooooooool
Absolutely pathetic display by us
Did you watch the game? Kane did score a brilliant 'real' goal.Are you sure? I keep hearing Kane is back from my friend the space invader but this seems like the type of game for him to get us a non-pen goal to take the 3 points...you know, 10 men and rubbish defenders like Bednarek. Would have put money on a 'back' kane to score a real goal.
That doesn't mean we are defensive, the full back were playing pretty much like wingers second half, nothing to do with tactics here. We scored 2 goals and Forster made 10 saves, the plan was good, our attackers let us down a bit and the referree disalowed 2 legal goals.Southampton had 10 men and we continued to play with a back 5 and holding midfielders. Sure his system is proven to work but you need some kind of tactical flexibility for different scenarios. There was creativity on the bench but we brought on Doherty.
With consistency and a few additions in January we can finish 4th at best. With some luck we can hope for a cup. Anything more than that is absolutely fantasy.Yup. Some are delulded enough to think we are back and all that. Proper Rio Ferdinand Ole at the wheel type stuff. Lets see if they stop that or continue being deluded.
I had at least 5 minutes BEFORE KWP went down for 2.5 minutesInsanity that there were no yellow cards for time wasting AND only 5 minutes of additional time given.
Don’t understand why he didn’t swap to the right when Gil came on eitherWhat really blunted us was having to put Doherty on at LWB. He just can’t use his left foot at all, if we’d had Sess we would have won. So many times he was in an attacking position and checked back to use his right.
Why the hell do you bring him on and play him on the left.Doherty is awful. Why didn't he play that earlier? We were through.
Bringing Doherty on at LB was a huge mistake
Man, do you remember Nuno and Mourinho?Absolutely pathetic display by us
Definitely need quite a few additions.With consistency and a few additions in January we can finish 4th at best. With some luck we can hope for a cup. Anything more than that is absolutely fantasy.
he is not a premier league footballer. Great he got in a few decent positions against 10 men but his end product is disgusting and he can't pass the ball. He was horrendous.He was far more involved in the game and added more to our attack than some others. Yes, his attempts were disappointing but I don’t think he was anywhere near our weakest player.
