It would probably be healthier, and certainly more interesting, if one did from time to time. I'd like to see a lot more of our team having a go at each other, either on the pitch or after. Is the accountability there right now?
Why do our Offish team sheets insist on giving him both his names? It doesn't make him a better player. Reminds me of Nick London and his annoying 'Mac Bonne' schtick.
20th in the table (we could be in the bottom three after tomorrow night's games), still only 1 win in 8, and only Cardiff have conceded more.
The irritating absence of JCS, who, like Colback, seems to have picked up one of those 'minor' knocks that then keeps our players indefinitely, certainly isn't helping, but some of our defending tonight bordered on professional incompetence.
Dembele faded badly again, Frey never got into the game in the first place, Santos looked like an amateur, Celar mostly played like he's forgotten everything he ever learned about being a CF, and even Ilias' cameo was a non-event.
So, apart from the fact that our defence seems to have gone AWOL, our midfield can be played through like Moses and the Red Sea, and we can't score from open play, everything in Marti's garden is rosy.
For me, only Saito and Nardi came out of that with a modicum of credit, and looked like professional players. And don't get me started on Sam 'Teflon' Field!
And this was Hull! Hull!
Hand on heart, even if some players 'bed in' a bit better, do you really feel this squad is strong, coherent and 'tight' enough to be consistently competitive in this league this season?
In the words of Nick Cave,'where's my nurse? I need some healing!'
Santos has been atrocious and should definitely be hooked. I really hope Ilias gets a quarter of an hour at least. Overall, we look a work in progress with a sprinkle of flair now and again, and a big propensity for self-detonation. They look no more than average, but we smell of bottom half, if not bottom 6, I'm afraid.
I am starting to feel Field is part of the problem. We just don't create in midfield, and Dembele is wasted wide right. However well we started, we threw it all away after that with that amateurish 2nd goal and a number of passages of hopeless dispossession thereafter, though Madsen's (excellent) pen gets us a foot back in the game.
Overall, Saito has done OK, and that's about it. Strangely, though I think we can still win this, another draw will probably feel like a (worryingly) good result.
He's a winger, not a striker. Yes, ideally, he'd score 10 from the flanks, but he has other attributes. Even so, the (good) goal he scored was one more than anyone else did. Perhaps you should turn your attentions to Mr Celar!
Just about the only one who stood up for Sinead O'Connor, when she was being cancelled after that horrifically abusive show in post-Madison Square Gardens for doing the dangerously avant-garde thing of tearing up the Pope's picture on Saturday Night Live. This lovely duet is how I'll remember them now they're both gone.
It's a silly phrase, really - many things in a game, bg and small, 'give the referee a decsion to make', from the heavens opening to a player sitting down to tie his laces. His job is to make good decisions rather than undermine the game or, as happened yesterday, help one team to win.
Hopefully, he and Blackburn'll get some kind of comeuppance, and I hope the return fixture at LR will be as tasty as we ought to make it for them if we've grown some balls by then.
If cards can be retrospectively rescinded, I see no reason why legitimate goals can't be re-awarded (and refs demoted, if not exterminated). For me, we lost 2-1 in a game we could quite possibly have drawn.
I'm glad you're not a ref then - or not ours anyway!
To use your own terms, this was worse: the ref takes a breath, cools his jets (not), then sends him off anyway. Which makes Varane a bit idiotic at worst and him a c*nt with an agenda.
