Black Saturday

[davek]

Just a bit dramatic.

Maybe.

Done with it though.

It's a genuine attempt to convey the enormity of that loss for the team - given everyrthing that happened.

As said. I'm out of it.

 

[GwladysBlue]

There's spiriit there, but we cant keep on relying on coming back like this after a shot through our own feet.

And the defence is an ongoing crisis for us. We need to get upset and stay upset.

Thank God that it isn’t our proper defence in yet. If that was our defence for the season, we’d be in big trouble. Zouma, Digne and Mina should all improve that area.

Baines had a terrible performance out legged everywhere. Tom just pissed me off. Time to ring the changes if we can.

 

[DanEFC92]

We have no defence as I see it. I dont see any good enough.

Hard to focus on any one single thing from that game though.

I really think this has to be used as a turning point.

We need to try and galvanise and draw strength form this mini-disaster. The injury and sendings off have to be used like rocket fuel for us.

Character is needed now in bucket loads.

Cant recall a day like this one for years.

Mad hypobole.

The 3-3 Bournemouth was worse.

 

[ToffeeLee1878]

The season could be so much better than this and should be. We have played three easy opponents and have five points instead of 7/9 and we have casulaties and suspensions.

Easy? Man City drew 1-1 with wolves with 11 we more than held our Own with 45 mins down to 10 didn’t we

 

[wainy]

Nope.

I cant believe anyone would think this nightmare day would elicit a thread like that.

Mods, do me a favour please - pull this thread. It's being interpreted as something it wasn't meant to be - either wilfully or otherwise.

Just change the thread title mate. It's abit "talksport sensational" and will attract you a spiffing audience of man babies.

Personally, I'm just sitting back admiring Dave's work as an artist

Glorious isn't it?

You have a selective memory lad......go for a walk in the hills and get over it.....comedy feckin' gold you lollollollollollollol

 

[Loadsofchemistry]

The worrying thing for me about today w as how much it reminded me of the Watford game at goodison last year.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Thank God that it isn’t our proper defence in yet. If that was our defence for the season, we’d be in big trouble. Zouma, Digne and Mina should all improve that area.

I agree somewhat but Zouma looks uncomfortable with the ball at his feet.

 

[flibbyflob]

Dont talk daft. We had a player carried off here.

Who we all hope is ok and back in a few weeks.

Losing a home game after a ridiculous substitution by El Fraudo was far far worse.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Bear in mind we've also played two full halves in 3 matches with 10 men.

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

A draw at Wolves with 10 men, who’ve just held the Champions today.

A home win last week.

Today away at a side who had won their opening 2, we lose a man to a daft sending off, and yet still manage to grab a 2-0 lead, they came back at us with nothing to lose and nicked a point. Which most us of would have taken before the game and certainly at 41 minutes in.

The only thing black about today was the horrific looking injury to Keane.

 

[Azzurri]

Cant recall a day like this one for years.

This in particular is my favourite bit given that we had them every other week under Martinez.
