- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Ooh, that's a good one. You clever basstard.
At the end of the day Palace got battered.
Ah well, there’ll be other games.
Says more about the other 3 than it does about Scott, to be fair magic had lost his legs but the rest were just kinda subpar.
Loved seeing how much the Palace players absolutely hated us owning them all over the pitch. There's some more lower level teams that are going to get some revenge beatings this season. Everton, Brighton, Southampton etc
¿Dónde está la biblioteca?
¿Qué?
To be fair, it was parodied on here by Ole's staunch supporters, who wanted to bury their heads in the sand about how poor our football was. We had some good games under him obviously, but he never managed to have us playing sustainability good football. When Bruno arrived, we had a great run, but the football was anything but cohesive.
Fans of other clubs, other managers, pundits etc. all use the phrase in a serious manner. It was just that some on here decided to make it a meme, and pretend that there was no such thing. Ole is a great guy, but feck me, his football was extremely boring and we were tactically inept.
Ole decided to go balls in with a counter attacking style - when it worked it could be effective - but it had us running into countless problems, time-and-again. And as you rightfully pointed out, our lack of the absolute basics when in possession, is still evident.
Hopefully ETH is the right man to finally transition us into a modern way of playing. It's basically what we were promised after Jose, but we ended up with 3-years of Ole-ball.
The BOYS have gone way too DEEP with these Fish jokes.
Fish puns still going? Come on guys, we’re Betta than this.
I think it's becoming clear we actually were an awfully coached team. People have asked how much difference a manager can make and I think we're seeing the answer is something like "massive". It was good to see the players linked up with some really clever passes.
Promising stuff from the team today but Fish needs more schooling on how not to flap at it.
Yip, there's a time and a plaice for that
Who's EtH screaming at? Seems to have an "ee" sound on the end of it...
Senor Chang? Is that you??
Oh yeah. When I listen now, clearly Charlie. Presumably as ran upfield instead of holding central area of our half (and removing an out ball)?
Some of this lot will have PTSD by September.
People saying Scott McTominay is rather good… Christ I’ve heard it all now.
He’s a niche player that probably belongs as part of a generation of midfielders from 20-30 years ago, because his best attributes would have been more on display then than now. He’s a decent carrier of the ball for his size can can pull off some decent footwork, and he’s quite good when called upon to finish chances. He probably would have even been a solid midtable midfielder 20 years ago where the game offered more space and physical battles.
However, the modern game requires every player on the pitch to be as sharp as possible in their touch, weight of pass, and speed of thought at the top level with how popular the coordinated pressing games have become from the best teams. These are all things McTominay lacks, as he’s a below average passer in general and doesn’t read the game well enough to do much more than pass it backwards when pressured. He could get away with these faults if he was a stalwart destroyer, but he struggles positionally in defense so it forces him to be a part of a midfield 2.

Hopefully the lad is able to take fish puns on the chin.
I’d feel gill-ty if it effected his mental health.
If it does he should discus it with a mental health professional.
Or should that be mental health profishional?
Guys………we’re running off the ball!!!
Yes!!! haha
The lad is no good in the head. A red card in a friendly... his victim is now in the hospital being looked at by a sturgeon..
I’d be happy righting those wrongs this season along with more intent against our rivals. We aren’t losing 6 away games in a row this season that’s for sure.
At the goalie. He should have just passed it to the right. He just punted it in the air.
Nah, answered above and definitely “Charlie” when you listen again. It’s Savage and his positioning (running away from the ball)
Looks like fish... Couldn't swim
Heh heh, nailed it
Heh heh, nailed it
I was really busy and missed the match.
Please does anyone know a website where I can download the full game?
Please PM me. THANKS

Did I word that completely wrong?
The word you wanted is wholesale, not wholesome.
Jones, Ronaldo, Shoretire, Fernandez, Mengi and Williams. Along with Eriksen and Martinez.
At Charlie Savage actually. Not making himself available and just running aimlessly forward.

My English is so good... Jesus
Our players usually play well when the pressure is off. When they really have to perform, they usually bottle it. This squad has a mentality problem. Lets see how we fare when we actually HAVE to win.
