The Footie Thread

Disagree with the bold. Big back 4, wingers sat back - today, as with palace last week, tempo and intricate football is the way to beat them for me. lots of 1-2s etc. and that's where Bobby shines. The difference in tempo between today and palace is disgusting, considering the time off since palace. Embarrassing.

First half we were close to being there. 2nd half we were so slow and played right into their hands. Bringing Divock on? Waste of time. But because we kept putting crosses the box.

No plan B when the intricate and quick isn’t happening like today.
Bobby is brilliant at dropping deep and linking up play in a normal game.
But when there’s a bus parked there is no need
But the space wasn’t there today between their midfield and defence.
If your going to cross the ball when there is nobody there then that’s just poor tactics.
That happened today.
Only for Alison we could have lost a game we had 80% of the ball.

wonder if big Sam will get sacked now he has had a 1-1 draw like the guy before him ?

How worrying is it at Liverpool? Draws against two sides in the relegation zone and another injury today. There doesn't seem to be any spark on a regular basis at the moment and the usual pass and move isn't working around the box and they have never really been a side to whack it in the box since the days of Toshack flying in with his head.

Harry Kane with a lovely dive there.

It’s frustrating watching Spurs at the moment got what we deserved playing like that.

Looking forward to hear what Mourinho has to say.
I wonder who he'll throw under the bus this time.

Trying to hold out for 3 points after going ahead after 57 seconds....makes no sense, what a joke.
Wolves deserved a point at the very least, in fact could have got all 3.
When the fans come back I can see quite rightly Mourinho getting grief. It’s like watching paint dry at times.
Mourinho parks that bus so much it’s like it’s never left the depot

But he “felt contact” so it’s ok ????

Been quite a few dives lately but no yellow cards.
Have refs been told not to book them??

Mourinho is an outdated pathetic dinosaur.

He booked Fabio Silva for one (when kicked on the bottom of the foot albeit lightly), different reaction for Kane at the other end

We’re not playing with any real spark week in week out but they are still top of the league!
Most teams are erratic atm great one week crap the next.
Very strange atm.

No he didn’t. But both should’ve been booked.

He’s English so that’s ok.

thought he showed the card for that, did he not?

To one of his team mates. Guess for protesting.

But yeah, Silva and Kane should’ve been booked for diving. If I had a say in the football world, diving would be eradicated within half a season.

I’d thoroughly enjoy seeing player after player being sent off for diving.
