A maverick goal as well as a casual looping pass back towards our central defenders which gifted Forest a chance and Martinez had to rush out to nullify. I wonder what Emery will make of him next season. That second one really wound me up. Why does he do this! Credit to him for the 2 goals though. He’s playing his part after at one point looking like he’d never play again. Good on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also makes me feel more angry at Gerrard for treating him like a pariah. I truly shudder when I think about Gerrard and the mountain of bullshit he heaped upon the club. At the time, I thought that his year of division and chaos had set the club back several years. He came close to just destroying the unity and feel good factor around the club. Genuinely the worst child manager in my lifetime. It takes more than a colossal bellend to scupper Unai though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His speciality is the volleyed cross field pass from a throw in that goes directly to the opposition striker. He’s done that like 4 times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Weird that his two goals this week were so similar! In a similar place on the pitch, both passes directly to him from an opponent (as if he'd hypnotised them), both goals going in the bottom left corner.

Jono62 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 His touch in the run up to the second goal was brilliant. I'm hoping the L was to Gerrard and his sycophants in the media. Murphy looked angry when the subject was Villa on MOTD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently yesterday his poor positioning, tracking, 91% pass accuracy, cutting off passing lanes all contributed to the loss yesterday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I watched the highlights again today I wondered if that L shape he made was like a frame for his face, maybe like a mobile phone for a selfie? Daly and Dali do a celebration like that when they score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
