Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [19th - 24th October 2018]

That's never a penalty.

Lovren's back in the team and our defence can neither play out from the back nor defend as a unit. Trash player, utter trash.

 

[sneakysnail]

should have been a pen

I think it wasn't given because it came off his thigh first and also because the ball bounced through to the Huddersfield player anyway so didn't really disadvantage them.

 

[Maundie]

But he's one of the best centrebacks in the world didn't you know

 

[Combat Fighter]

I can still see Huddersfield getting a point or more out of this game.

 

[Mark1989]

Gotta say since our goal been all over, midfield is yet again not creating enough.

Gomez has been great again as has sturridge link up and hold up play

 

[Purdy]

I can still see Huddersfield getting a point or more out of this game.

Bold prediction given they’ve dominated

 

[omnomnom]

43% possession and zero shots on target. They've had a couple of flurries but not a lot else. Clearly offisde or high boot for the goal (Gomez conceded the exact same foul) and a penalty shout that just isnt a penalty lol.

 

[Mark1989]

Not surprised Henderson another performance of well not much

Take your pick from him or Milner for me. I had a feeling he'd drag big shaq off tbh

Were missing ox, such a shame we won't have him this season at all

 

[Purdy]

Huddersfield not shy of leaving the foot in

 

[Mark1989]

Argh should be 2-0 :/ unlucky salah

 

[Mark1989]

We need a second goal, Huddersfield still in this imo, they do look okayish going forward.

Thought shaqiri would have done more today if being honest

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

WTF is Lovren playing at? He's a car crash whenever the ball or an opponent comes near him FFS.

Edit: I know winning while playing poor can sometimes be the sign of champions but not when the team's playing poor every single game. We desperately need to give someone a thrashing to lift the team and get some confidence.

Really impressed with Sturridge near the end, held the ball up well and picked a few good passes. Showed his experience while others around him were trying to play at 1000 miles an hour and giving e ball away.

 

[Purdy]

Lol how do we keep winning so bad

 

[Mark1989]

Well it's a win although over all I think it was a poor performance

 

[BaZ87]

As bad as we've counter attacked in as long as I can remember. We could and should have picked them off on the break but our final pass was atrocious.

For all the pressure Huddersfield had they had 1 chance all game - defensively we were comfortable again.

 

[Tombstone]

Its another 3 pts, keep us up there with City but we have got to improve. We havent particularly played well most of the season so far and I said early on that was ok because it meant we were notching up the points even though we werent playing well, but its almost 10 games in now and we need to start building some form as well as points otherwise I worry about us being able to sustain a challenge.

 

[chroniclard]

Decent goal from salah, gomez excellent again, otherwise pretty poor.

Level on points with a team that finished 25+ ahead last season and we haven't played well ...imagine when we do. Ill take this.
