Blackburn Rovers v Eddie's, can Loris Karius, NUFC - FA Cup 5th Round

[Ayatollah Hermione 15202]

Far too casual here. This lot are running through walls and we’re swanning about. Not to mention our players needing 3 touches to get a ball under control 

[Monkeys Fist 46605]

We’re trying to walk the ball in to the net, when we do actually get in their area. 
 

A fucking welly might be an approach they could try?

Every pass is just a little short, the drive really isnt there, very little creativity or quality on the ball. And fatigue is no longer an excuse. This is getting just a little worrying now. If this was a premier league team we'd be behind.

Fatigue isn't an issue? 

 

We played Saturday and some players don't have match endurance in them. So fatigue really is a factor.

Injured players have all looked utterly shite since coming back. And many others have come down to their real levels after the highs of last season.

 

Murphy falls in both categories

Oh Longstaff is playing?

Aye, I think it was Gordon played a through ball for him early on and I thought ‘that’s fucking optimistic’.

Our injury and fixture situation is no longer any different from most other clubs. It was before.

Not in the first 45.

[Isegrim 10787]

Absolutely no urgency in our play. They are trying to sleep-walk it. Could backfire spectacularly if they put away one of those chances.

[Ayatollah Hermione 15202]

Longstaff would be lucky to get a 2/10 in The Chronicle for that first half

It was Murphy and yes the only way Longstaff was gettng to that first is if the two defenders tripped over each other.

We’ve not been making runs off the ball- when we get possession we’re virtually static.

Players coming back are still short of match fitness and practice. But it doesn’t excuse the lack of effort in the first half.

[Toonpack 12248]

Very poor, all too slow

The stats back this up. 2/3 posession and fuck all shots. Think people are pissing their pants a bit much for my liking mind. 

[Chaser 1444]

Against a Championship team poor in form. I know it's the cup so anything can happen but these lot need a rocket up their arses for 2nd half.

I’m still very much Team Sausage- I think after a “measured analysis” from Mad Dog at HT we’ll hopefully see some urgency/accuracy.

And the goalkeeper commits hari kari on the penalty spot.

[wykikitoon 23921]

Sorry but fatigue is an issue. Even in the first half. Especially after the season we have had. 

 

 

[Holden McGroin 8097]

Willock has probably got another 15 mins in him then we will be back to our powder puff (as my dad used to say) midfield.

Not pissing any pants, we will be fine if we show just a bit more effort and urgency. They might tire as well.

 

If we continue like in the first half it will be an open match though.
