Bobby doesnt play the long game.


Kone is freaking awful.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Just got home.
It was all a bit meh wasn't it ?

Bar the free kick, they never troubled us and we weren't exactly all over 'em.
Glad to hear that Barry hasn't broken his leg, but it still sounds like he'll be out for a while, which, given he's arguably our most influential player, is a big loss to us.

To be honest, the highlight of the day was a cream scone and a cup of tea in Barnard Castle on the drive over.

guys what in hell happened? we had almost our full lineup and only salvaged a point. and why was Naismith not playing

 

[Kurt.]

Point away at sunlun ain't a bad thing .... Historically I believe they've been a bit of a bogey team for us.

If they were a good team id agree mate but they arent a good team so im annoyed we didnt beat them. swanseas win has lessened my annoyance though!

Teams are gonna up their game against us .... It's the price you pay for being a decent side.... QPR done t yesterday..... Too much kneejerking in here.

Really frustrating, and a game we need to be winning if we are to match last season's league output. We seriously lack width, especially with Mirallas out. We effectively had three of the same player on the park behind Lukaku, and none of them were playing as a winger, or are really suited to playing as a winger. I don't know what the point of bringing Atsu in to replace Deulofeu was, but that is currently costing us.

Mason, as mentioned, was abhorrent. How Gomez and Wickham finish on the park is a mystery to me, I don't think I've seen a ref influenced by the crowd and a manager as much as today. Whether or not it cost us points or not is up for debate, but it certainly would have made for a different game.

Hopefully Martinez can buck up his ideas for how we combat teams putting everyone behind the ball against us, because we are too slow to get through at the moment, despite him constantly yelling "quicker". Not panic stations, but far from ideal.

 

[Thuck ma Baws]

Just got back. Highlight was definitely the fella sat behind me, on his feet most of the way through calling Martinez all sorts for not making the right sub, not picking the right team, "you effing Spanish this and that". Then after Baines scored the penno he was having a go at other fans for not joining in with his screaming version of Roberto had a dream!

To sum up, Sunderland is too far away and I'm done in.

Naismith should play every game. Ross I'm not sure of, great talent but it's the results that count.......

 

[Neiler]

Poor overall we can't continue to fluff these opportunities you want 30 + points by new year if you want to be competitive for the CL.

Agreed. Its miles away! Shattered after that journey home!!

Lille was the first game this season where naismith has scored and we have won...

Haaa, my sentiments exactly ! My highlight of the day was an excellent pit stop in a real ale pub in Ripon, North Yorkshire on the way home

Sounds like he'd be right at home on here then....

Most of our fans are sound but we have got some right tit heads as well.
