One of ours is sick with the flu at the moment and cant go today, so I was going to resell the season ticket for that game through the official ticketing but I figured a Liverpool fan would somehow get the ticket and I couldnt stand one of them sitting next to me today. I couldnt go to the Chelsea game recently and the guy next to me said a youngish girl got my resell ticket and she was a Chelsea fan, with her Chelsea shirt on under her jumper.....in the friggin Holte End . Bad enough having the officials on their side but having one of their fans next to me would be too much for me today! I'm praying Emery gives us a great christmas present and stuffs these red scouse today and I would love it more if it was because of a bad VAR or ref decision. I’ve had to endure bleeding manure fans in the North upper a couple of times in the past. One of them got thumped during the 2-2 draw when Benteke threw them around and I think Falcao equalised for them. hopefully with Emery in charge we’ll see those results less and less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Don’t think he did much wrong, some comical defending had a hand in all three of their goals. He needs better players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Doesn't need to be a meltdown from that. High line shenanigans is fine, that's how it's been since Unai arrived. Even if it was completely suicidal against that Liverpool team I can accept that's the way we play. The subs was a bit pointless though, just a waste of time really. Yes, Watkins is a complete disaster but we were also very lucky Nunez is just as bad otherwise the score looks far worse. I think we can cause Spurs problems on New Years but again they'll probably slice through our high line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would you have brought on to change that game? Coutinho? I thought Emery did well in the tactical battle, but just got caught out by their superior player quality. It wasn’t one of those games where you come away thinking we didn’t stand a chance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Played a system that would dominate teams, if just we had the players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishVilla10 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Two windows and I’ll worry about Emery, John Mcginn shouldn’t be playing out wide but he’s got no options. Improved second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have still liked Ings and Coutinho on given how much possession and crosses we were getting in. Just a bit odd he left it so late and the triple sub just seemed an afterthought with game over. No drama though, 4 points from Spurs and Wolves should be realistic target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even bringing him on with 20 minutes to go would have been better than waiting til it was too late in my opinion. All the problems we caused them were from pace running into space. Not convinced Ings would have made a big difference, but I agree maybe we could have brought a couple of subs on earlier (if only to give other players a rest). But doubt the result would have been any different. The game was lost when Bailey and McGinn failed to put their chances away. Also think we had a decent penalty shout? Can’t really pin it on Unai tonight imo, although perhaps we could have parked the bus and tried to nick it - problem is he’s probably thinking we’re not in a relegation battle and he’d rather just get his preferred system engrained in the squad, as if we keep playing like this we’ll pick up points, especially with Martinez and Ramsey back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazmonkey Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Only criticism. Needs to sort out corners..too.many times we have too many back. Their first prime example..all 10 in the box. When I played the centre forward stayed out so it stopped two defenders getting forward...Watkins goes out and trent doesn't get that ball...they dont score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
