Brighton Rock Suckers v Jones who puts out the Cones

[Christmas Tree 4729]

This is what Trudging feels like.

How the actual fuck has wilson scored as many goals as he has in this shambles? 

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

Shelvey defied orders and pressed them there. Too slow and shit for it to end anything other than an opposition free-kick.

yea its funny how the commentators went on at the start of the game about how bad the position we are in is but bruces name was not mentioned once

Has he not had ENOUGH bullying and ABUSE?!?! One man threatened his life by secretly hoping he got covid, you know

Or have him nowhere near it because he's clearly shit at it

He’s going nowhere. Unless they have him working on the phones at the ticket office

How are we still so cautious when we’re losing ffs? How does this bloke think we’ll ever score? Get him working on the defence under Howe since he’s clearly got a hard-on for it

This is what gets me, we are fucking bottom, have managed 3 shots on target in all the games under Jones so far, yet we still sit deep as fuck, don’t bother pressing, and honestly don’t even look solid in defence. What the fuck is the game plan? I’d rather him just throw the kitchen sink at them ffs, at least throw Willock in there for one of our 3 numptys at CB so we could try and hold the ball in midfield for more than 2 passes.

For all they are dominating possession, Brighton don't really have goal scorers. It's still 1-0 if we can summon up even a hint of fight and desire. 

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

Jenas reckons these aren't as good as Man City.

[NJS 4389]

Okay, I know the answer is "that's just the shit way it is" but I don't get how a ref can have a perfect view of something and wave away appeals then change his mind on looking at it again? 

 

I get the hidden ones at corners but asking a ref to accept "you fucked up there mate, have another look" is bullshit 95% of the time. 

 

 

[essembeeofsunderland 811]

Ritchie couldn’t even find a man with a 5 yard throw-in

[247 597]

i honestly hope bin salman has had enough of shelvey already, so much so that he orders shelveys head just so he can wear his stupid bald scalp as a hat 

[essembeeofsunderland 811]

If you’re not good enough to play your way into the opponent’s half,why not just hoof it out of play as far up the field as possible and close the opposition down for the throw-in?

The replay confirmed what he saw as well, a player deliberately hitting the deck. 

[Rayvin 5223]

So we're still hopeless then. I really hope the owners are expecting relegation at this point and are simply planning around it.

[Chaser 1217]

What I can't understand is how players who have previously been half decent, are all of a sudden not even capable of stringing a few passes, chasing down and winning loose balls and thinking for themselves when forming some kind of movement to get up the pitch.

Do you reckon Jones gives the players the bollocking they deserve after a half like that? 

[247 597]

seriously a conference side away at brighton in the fa cup would show more about them than that, Howe must be shitting himself 

[Christmas Tree 4729]

Why do we always stand off players attacking and give them all the space they want.

 

I would like to think Howe is sitting there thinking “fuck me, there are loads of opportunities to change this shit”.

 

Spirit of Keegan needed instead of this cowardice.

its something so basic i cant believe its just a lack of tactical awareness. maybe this squad have been so badly taken care of by bruce fitness wise that they are told not to press the ball at all

I think it's more likely the players are giving him a bollocking tbh.

It's quite astounding really, must come down to mentality. They're so conditioned to being passive holding their shape that when we get the ball we don't have appropriate movement or composure to hold possession and build any momentum.

[Alan Doh'liver 219]

These tits on the panel have spent the whole break talking about the penalty. 

[essembeeofsunderland 811]

BT have just highlighted a tug of the shirt after the clear foul.

Cos nowt else of note happened

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

It's clear and obvious after you slow it down apparently
