As @NJS said, I too hate it when we make T-Rex the hero. Is there something actually mentally lacking with him? The way he points and waves the hands on his little arms about, all the time is fucking weird.

 

There absolutely has to be something wrong with him. He behaves like a 15 year old kid with ADHD.

The criticism Karius got after that game was fucking way over the top. So in that regard you’re absolutely correct.

 

Fucking appalling take otherwise.

 

I'm a tad confused. What's appalling about a sarcastic analogy between a goalkeeping error (or two) leading to a goal and a shocking miss (or three) by an attacker?

[GrahamTaylor5 880]

I find Pickford an odd one as he doesn't seem to be as bad when he plays for England. 

 

I do wonder if it has something to do with the clubs he has played for and where he is from. 

 

Sunderland with the biggest chip on his shoulder then Everton who seem to somehow be worse. Maybe that is a step too far. 

 

When Henderson left Sunderland, he went to somewhere normal. Maybe that is why he doesn't come across the same way.

I guess a keeper wouldn't have the opportunity to produce the same level of performance as Gordon did yesterday. 

 

I also don't think a keeper does always get the blame in a situation like that. It is normally the defence that get the criticism for forcing them to have an amazing game and be in the position to make the errors. I am thinking of how me and many others viewed Dubravka.

Comparing an inconsequential game in the PL to the CL final.

 

Suggesting Karius got plaudits for his performance that night - otherwise why else use it as an example? That performance arguably ruined Karius’ career because of the insane backlash he got.

 

Literally, the only thing that is similar is that the criticism the goalie got despite his concussion was just as OTT as the responses of some on here towards Gordon yesterday.

[toonotl 2977]

I guess I'd be best to make sure that my sarcastic comments designed to be ridiculous and over the top which are clearly meant to be a joke for the exact reason that they're beyond the pale work first and foremost as advanced analysis without undue abstraction or exaggeration in the future.

It was a joke. That performance by Karius was horrendous. THATS THE JOKE. Read the thread. Look at the context. Fuck me. What a moron.

That would be great, cheers.

[sammynb 3355]

Isn't it known that Karius was suffering badly from concusion in that CL final game and under current protocols would have been made leave the field?

 

We still need a striker.

Okay then it was a shit joke rather than an appalling take. Glad we cleared that up.

Pickford’s grandfather still carries that name. Barrie Pigford told MailOnline in 2018: “I'm over the moon for him, I am. I never thought he would play for England. It is the best thing he did leaving Sunderland – going to Everton was a good thing for him. He's doing good, I'm pleased for him. He's six foot four, so he's a big lad, but he's quiet."

 

Say it ain't so, Barry Pigford.

he came from a newcastle supporting family, what a traitor

Washy mags. The worst kind.

[Howmanheyman 33121]

As has been said, the striker situation is costing us points. It's as simple as that. Yesterday would've been the perfect game for Wilson who can handle himself, you could've brought Isak on to replace him if we were winning or subbed someone else off and played them both together if we were chasing a goal. We're stuck this season unless we get a striker in January or Wilson does a Lazarus. Flogging Isak every game as the main CF isn't helping his game or sharpness.

[Optimistic Nut 145]

Was gutted we didn't win but I think the performances last 2 games need to be the benchmark against the top teams and lesser sides. We win that 95% of the time. Isak in after the break and we'll start turning these into wins. The way Brighton play is perfect for us too. Can see it being the game it all comes together and we win by a few.

[sammynb 3355]

That's us fucked with Minteh scoring a perfect hat-trick then.

[Dr Gloom 21912]

i'm definitely having a few quid on minteh to score against us.

It would be some turn-up for the books if we won a PL game under your "reign".

In fairness his exact words were "they won't win". His grace appears to be accepting that he's a draw merchant. What a fucking insanely weird start to the season we've had. We've gone from playing shit and winning to playing better and being held to draws. I can't wait for the flurry of thread starters after we start fucking battering teams and getting beat 1-0 every time.
