Eddie Howe’s Huge Sausage Mags vs Allardyce’s Pint of Gravy Yorkshire Cunts 13/05/23 12:30pm

[Renton 23585]

Perolsonally I thought both ASM and Gordon did okay considering the very limited time they had. If we had played 10 minutes longer, I think we'd have won. I don't get the hate at all.

Updated after our match. Think we've only dropped 1%.

neck and neck with Man U now, despite having played a game less 🤷

 

Liverpool winning on Monday is going to change everything 

[Alex 36661]

Well they’ll have factored in that’s likely. It’ll change the probability if they do but not by much

We cannot start Isak and Wilson.  But with Longy out, its either start Isak and then ASM or Gordon.

ASM doesn't deserve a start and Gordon neither.  The latter still learning and working his way in Howe's system. 

I think you can play Wilson and Isak but not really in 4-3-3 with our current personnel. Isak as a 10 with Wilson as the CF has potential. The other thing is strike partnerships need time to build up an understanding and they haven’t played together much. I would be sacking the idea off for the rest of the season though

I’m not sure what murphy did today to not get any minutes on the pitch. He’s been in good form 

 

He had a groin strain according to Howe.

Agreed. The other thing is playing them together limits our options from the bench. I'm not a fan but would be interested to see if it would work with Isak playing centrally with Wilson but slightly deeper.

Quote

"I'm struggling to make sense of it all.

"It was their first attack, we started well. The first attack they get they score. We hadn't created clear-cut chances. 

"I thought we played well at times today without hitting our best form and we were rushed around the box. 

"The character to come back is a huge positive: the way Wilson took his two penalties was outstanding. The second one is the most difficult, there are a lot of mind games and lot of time to take the penalty."

On the fan incident:

"That was a real surprise. I was concentrating on the game. It was the last thing you think could happen.

"I can’t repeat what he said but it makes you think ‘what if’. Nobody should have to feel their personal safety is violated when trying to entertain the country.”

totally. We looked way better after Isak moved inside

I’m not writing Gordon off yet but has he done a single positive thing in the time he’s been here?

 

I was sceptical of his signing to begin with and still don’t understand what he offers.

I still can't believe we needed two penalties and a saved penalty just to get a draw against Leeds. That's our worst performance of the season for me, marginally worse than Villa, which was our worst performance to that point. Away from home we're looking clueless and tired, and I think it's the pressure which seems to be getting to us finally as the possibility of a CL spot has become all too real for some of our players.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool end on 71 points. With the officials behaving the way they do I actually fully expect Liverpool to win their remaining fixtures. And I expect ManU to win theirs for similar reasons. Add to that that I don't like our chances going to Chelsea last day needing a result. Not with everything on the line with a team that is showing signs of struggling under the pressure of everything. Our players have been brilliant this year and since Howe took charge really. But the pressure is now at its greatest and the signs are there that they're wilting under the pressure. (Plus, we'll likely get a refereeing performance like we got today away at Chelsea.)

 

I don't put my absolute faith in the stock of the percentage predictor here either. It doesn't consider pressure and experience, does it? We have a manager who is new to this end of the table and a squad that is likewise with very few exceptions. Then there's VAR and the refs to contend with which the percentage predictor also doesn't consider. It also doesn't consider the "consequences" of Liverpool missing CL football. The fact that Klopp can explicitly call the ref a cheat in a game that they won and do so with complete impunity is proof positive that Liverpool demand and receive special treatment.

 

There's a strong possibility that the next two games decide the CL spot. Call me bed-wetter if you must. I'm obviously not saying that missing CL is a disaster. To finish 5th would still an amazing season. But 4th puts us so far ahead of schedule in terms of FPP restrictions and possibilities to attract a tier of player that previously we've only got under special circumstances. A CL spot is the biggest moment since the takeover if it happens. Anyway, I'm properly in a mood this morning. That performance was terrible against the newly anointed worst team in the division. For me, it doesn't bode well.

 

We need 6 points for CL and I think we need them in the next two matches.

Whilst that’s all valid, the very fact that we’re in the position to even have to be concerned about a losing CL place is outrageous, considering how woefully underfunded we’ve been before the takeover. 
The performance, not just from the playing and coaching staff, which has been verging on miraculous for most of the season, but also the of the administrative side of the club, to re-engage an (understandably) disillusioned fan base is nothing short of ridiculous. 
 

I still think we’ll retain a CL spot, tbh. 
I simply can’t see Howe and co. allowing us to slip out of it. 
 

But, if we do, it’s not the end of the world-it’ll be annoying, aye, but our lowest mathematically possible finish now is still way ahead of where anyone, Eddie included I’d imagine, could’ve possibly expected at the start of the season. 
 

I’ll say again, though, I absolutely think we’ll qualify for the CL, and we’ll have done it in some style. 
 

 

 

[aimaad22 4659]

Yeah it was poor but not anything near as bad as Villa that performance me thinks. We're managing injuries with a limited squad, losing someone like Longstaff has had a significant impact. Plus the players must be running on fumes with the way we've played the whole season. It seems to have taken a toll on Bruno and Joe especially. Not a great performance but a decent result to a team away fighting for their lives. 

 

We just need a massive push now for the last 2 home games. Players needs to find that last ounce of energy and fight from somewhere and get over the finish line. It has been a near miraculous season, we've been top 4 for most of it, which is why losing it now would hurt but it's a fantastic effort from everyone at the club nonetheless.

This is patent nonsense though. We were better all over the pitch than Leeds, who booted us off the pitch ending up with 10 men. Twice their possession. Twice thwir shots. Their equaliser was a fluke. Take away that, we would have won by the same margin that Man City did last week except we were playing at Elland Road. Villa was much, much worse and we bounced back from that in style.

 

We'll see what happens but personally I'm confident.

Having just had a fucking rotten night's sleep as a result of that game that's pretty much my view, although I concede later points about possession and luck. 

If Gordon had made that pass to Isaak 2 seconds earlier we would have would've won, so small margins. 

However, we should've been good enough.

Absolutely agree. Something like that is totally unacceptable. Their security team were too busy watching the game and half asleep.
