You can’t not have the ball in the modern game teams are too good and will eventually score, there’s a reason why managers like Pulis, Allardyce, Bruce are becoming extinct in the game we’ve sat on our own 25 yard line.

[California Dreaming]

Yet another tactical masterclass from Allardyce. What are we actually trying to do?

[Aztech]

That has been the problem - but that's on Allardyce for playing this ridiculous low block.

Surely you can’t blame Allardyce, he is a top coach and exactly what we needed 🤦‍♂️

[baggybazza]

shocking display

[tuamigos]

We're just a poor poor team
They want it more than us

[frazzle]

All well and good ******* and moaning. If Robinson scores that sitter we win.

He was offside.

[baggiemart]

We are heading where we deserve to be ...........  bottom of the table and be known as one of the worst teams to ever be in the premier league. 

[MarkW]

All well and good ******* and moaning. If Robinson scores that sitter we win.

It was offside

[tommcneill]

Gaping holes through midfield.

Desperately need these midfield reinforcements to come in.

However, lose tonight and it’s over anyway.

[The Black Pearl]

I genuinely don't get why we always blame the midfield. We had all the back 4 in the box then and they couldn't clear it.

But if the midfield don't get any control in the game, its inevitable what happens.

[boinging_along]

Game over now, we'll commit and get stripped on the break.
OShea awful defending, if he had been awake he'd have either cleared or got a free kick.
Townsend getting rinsed time and time again. We just can't defend.

I've I've saying it for months, O'Shea and Townsend are nowhere near good enough and they cause so many issues with their positioning.

For the goal, O'Shea can see his man, see the play, but he's ball watching and reacts late.  He should be 2 yards closer to the ball and marking his player.

[gerry m]

There passing us off the pitch. We are just hit and hope.

[baggie82]

All well and good ******* and moaning. If Robinson scores that sitter we win.

Wrong, it was offside.

[Adamstv]

Our defending and midfield are shocking at passing a ball.

[Ross]

All well and good ******* and moaning. If Robinson scores that sitter we win.

He was offside

[buzzingbaggie]

Thing that has stood out is how much they want it. High press, chasing everything down. We are just so pedestrian it’s unreal. This second half ain’t far off the first half against Fulham

This, and they have leaders on the pitch. Bashan has led from the back.

[SC_Baggie]

Gaping holes through midfield.

Desperately need these midfield reinforcements to come in.

However, lose tonight and it’s over anyway.

Why couldn’t we get the signings in for tonight

[TheBaggieMan]

All well and good ******* and moaning. If Robinson scores that sitter we win.

Is that an attempt at a joke Jacko?

We’re being thrashed.

[MarkW]

O'Shea has had a hand in both goals tonight.

[WBASPE77]

One win in ten, Spurs and Man Utd up next, I think his days are numbered.

[gazberg]

Allardyce got it wrong tonight with that midfield 2. Looked rubbish before kick off and was rubbish in reality. Livermores useless. Play CG there instead.


Doesn't make any difference but it feels like we got no 50/50s off the officials tonight either.

[California Dreaming]

All well and good ******* and moaning. If Robinson scores that sitter we win.

He was offside, so no, we don't.

[TheJacko2000]

He was offside.

Then he should have left it for Diagne to knock into the empty net.

[ttree30]

Yup, we've set up and played like a lower league team coming here in the FA Cup trying to nick a win.

We don't deserve to stay up.

There’s an unintended truth in this.

Because that’s what we are in terms of ability.

A lower league team.

[Albionic]

please note how Sheff utd are defending their 18yard line, Oh, are you allowed to not do that ?
