Kid Dynamite 6010 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 If the other 3 clubs in the semis are Boro, Fulham and West Ham then I swear we are fucking cursed! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was calling Almiron out when we were winning because he's fucking hopeless. Trippier has dropped 3 clangers and missed a penalty in 1.5 games. It doesn't undo how mint he's been since he signed, but he's not infallible. Nobody is infallible. Trippier has made costly mistakes in the last 2/3 games. No problem with calling out mistakes (missing a penalty isn’t a mistake imo, but no biggie) The hyperbole is mental though, we have gone from literally bottom of the league and out of the cups as soon as we enter them. To champions league, a final, a quarter final lost away to Chelsea and the reaction is inconsistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 8912 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 The worst thing about our season is that we stupidly lost two crucial matches because of goals from Nunez and Mudryk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 4974 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 13 away games and we’ve won 2. Luton up next then our standard defeat from Liverpool. I’m not sure what’s gone wrong this season away. I’m sure the support is getting us through home games and we’ve got a soft centre away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ackas 304 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Our football is chaos this season. Loads of reasons for that but we don’t have the same control or game management that we had. I’m sure we’ll sort it out at some point… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6010 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) I'd be happier if we just conceded in the 60th minute like we used to. Players running themselves ragged to hang on to an early goal and 2 new injuries every game isn't worth the heartache of conceding in injury time. Liverpool, PSG, Milan, Chelsea, West Ham all fucking heartbreaking this season Edited December 19, 2023 by Kid Dynamite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Zenith Data Systems sponsored one was an extra, short-lived, domestic cup (in the absence of European football after the Heysel ban). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
