The Return of Eddie Howe's Shithousing, High Pressing Fucking NETBUSTERS vs Lopetegui's Lupine Logmunchers

[Gemmill 44894]

Burn, ASM, Willock, Isak all having good games. Good stuff so far. 

 

I was worried we would miss Joelinton but we look quicker getting forward with Willock back in the side. 

[toonotl 2980]

We came alive once we scored. A few more goals and a comfortable win would do nicely to get the season going again.

[Gemmill 44894]

Murphy has been OK but just having the threat of someone actually making a right footed cross makes a difference. He put a ball in from the byline early on and it was like wtf I haven't see us do that in forever.

Well we've been brilliant since the goal. Should have had another couple easily. Hope that doesn't come back to haunt us. 

 

Maxi and Isak have been excellent. Burn done well too. Made some good runs. And I think Murphy has been more of an outlet than Miggy without doing anything special. 

 

More of the same second half please 

 

We've had a lot more balance in our attack with ASM wanting the ball down the left everything is no longer being syphoned constantly and predictably towards Trippier.

[wykikitoon 20152]

Sky trying their hardest to say it wasnt a FK before the goal.

FUCK OFF

[wykikitoon 20152]

Redknapp. That's a red card and a pen.

Fuck off you nonce.

[aimaad22 4156]

By these days standards, I think Pope is a lucky boy. Could easily have been a completely different story right now. 

[wykikitoon 20152]

He leaned his shoulder into Pope.  He is going away from the goal too.

Get the fuck off you cunt.

[Gemmill 44894]

I think Pope was really lucky mind. I'd be fucking livid if we'd got no pen there. 

[toonotl 2980]

Shearer thinks its a pen also. 😬

Aye I think he's looking for the pen there of course but you'd see those given 8 times out of 10 these days.

Why do they keep saying it? It can’t even be both any more per the rules can it? If it’s a pen it’s a yellow, either way Jiminez ran and booted the ball away then dived over he had no chance of getting the ball ffs. 
 

Good first half by our lot, Isak looks fucking quality and a constant threat huge upgrade on Wilson. The good thing is Wolves have to open up which lets us in behind. 

[NJS 4386]

I do think he shouldered him but I think he was already going down. Agree it was a let-off though. 

[GrahamTaylor5 880]

I thought it was a pen in real time but I don't think it is on the replay. Pope was turning back into the ball and his chest is what makes contact with the shoulder. It is not a foul to me. 

[Toonpack 9424]

Redknapp spitting because of our relative position to Liverpool. Cunt.

[OTF 7295]

In retrospect Pope was very lucky, being at home and it being a less fancied opponent helped him. He made the decision to try to block the player instead of go to the ball, the Jiminez oversold it as well which further helped the decision to go our way.

 

All cancelled out by a clear handball the other way at any length.

Anybody else feel that now we're playing for something they're getting too stressed to actually enjoy the game?

 

But this is funny.

Isak is difficult to manage as a defender. Huge, gangly, pace and with good close control. He's getting into great positions looking to score and supply.

Without a doubt. The pressure is off we look more relaxed.

What a lot of us have been saying for weeks. So much better having a balanced attack.

 

Also Isak showing why he should be starting regularly. I do think Eddie will look back at the end of the season and learn from this and become a better manager for it.

 

I think it’s probably easier for these managers who are used to having a big talented squad to swing the axe and be ruthless. I guess Eddie has never had that luxury and is used to sticking by his first 11.

 

Hopefully as we add to the squad he will find it easier to make those calls going forward.

 

Hope we can get a 2nd pretty quick to settle the nerves.

Howe isn't going to risk players fitness for one season.  If he isn't going to listen to his medical staff, why risk Isak?

 

 

[OTF 7295]

Isak fucking loving it out there. ❤️ 

[Gemmill 44894]

Isak definitely doesn't look short of fitness. His pressing is relentless.

Exactly, Howe has said many times that Isak hasn't been fit enough to start. Have to trust the medical staff on that front, as frustrating as it is when he has always impressed in his cameos.

 

Pope has not been the same since his clanger against Liverpool.

[aimaad22 4156]

Wow Pope seems to have completely lost the plot
