Duran has done nothing wrong for me. Others much more guilty. Rogers and defenders etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post srsmithusa Posted March 17 Popular Post Share Posted March 17 I understand that some of you hate when posters blame the referee. What I hate worse is when posters slag off our own players and manager. You can say Rogers should have marked the wing more closely than he did on the goal (fact), without stating that he's dross, useless, needs replaced immediately. I understand passion, but I really struggle to understand venom at our own players and manager. (Another Unai experiment isn't working! As if he wasn't forced to think outside the box.) I wouldn't change a thing (yet) except tell the back line and the pivot to move the ball more quickly, look for the long ball over the top more quickly, and get the ball to Leon and Ollie, Jhon, Rogers all get in the box for the cross or deflection. We're not out of this, just need to execute a bit better. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 1 minute ago, Lerner's Driver said: They did review it and saw nothing wrong. They knew it was a penalty, but the threshold to overturn the onfield decision is ridiculously high that they were never going to send the ref over. Whatever the ref awards on the pitch will always stand, making VAR pretty pointless for anything other than offsides. Its a penalty all day long. 99% of neutrals would agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope 6th place at least gets Europa as going back into Conference League would be a truly shambolic end. Season unravelling as we all deep down knew it would Oh bore off mate.

villan95 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 6 minutes ago, Tom13 said: He shouldn't have hit it, he should have found Duran who would have been 1-on-1 with the last defender. It's poor and I feel Duran's frustration, it's happened more than once over the last few months with Bailey failing to see him! His decision making is still very poor at times. Oh he definitely should have passed it but the fact that opening didn't even result in an attempt is just poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 1 minute ago, sharkyvilla said: I love Konsa but it does seem to me that he often gets the wrong side of his man. Overall a bit of a shambles, we genuinely look like we have gone for a mental 4-2-4. The defenders playing around with it with not much on and losing it. Just bizarre, we need to change it up while it's still only 1-0. Was lenglet’s man tbf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted March 17 VT Supporter Share Posted March 17 5 minutes ago, Aston_Villan4 said: Pretty livid about that. I get he was pointing but how on earth is that not a pen? Clear as day handball. And proximity is no excuse, because the ball was dinked onto his arm, not blasted into it. I bet if the ref had given it VAR would not have overturned it, but refs often don’t make the call because they figure VAR will correct them if they make a mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponky Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Just taking way too long to move the ball, especially in attack. That last play by Bailey the perfect example. Had about three passes on but decided to hold it up until he had none. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are playing poorly, there's no real excuses, they are paid and trained to play football. McGinn is a huge loss, but I'm not having the fatigue boll***s. If you are right, we may aswell concede the season. Yes I'm making excuses for these lazy words removed who are in fourth place, outperforming expectations and pushing for both CL qualification and European success. Have a word with yourself.

penguin Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 The inconsistency is maddening no doubt but I’d be annoyed if that handball was given against us, the defender is already pointing and Bailey kicks the ball at his arm in close range. Think the refereeing in general has been decent as he’s not blowing his whistle at every jostle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
