AndyinLiverpool Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 3 minutes ago, Jourdan said: I think the point is that if we continue to play in this way, it’s only a matter of time before our luck runs out. Draws will turn into defeats. Look at Cardiff midweek hitting the woodwork twice and today with Bournemouth being denied by some Marshall heroics. Norwich was similar in that respect. I think we have to be braver. Playing this way will only hinder us in the long run. What about our chances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 From listening today I thought it seemed a good draw, but I get that it’s not the same as watching it. Thought Ed Dawes actually made a good point towards the end of the game today that we’ve come across the relegated sides now and Reading. In the context of how the season has been so far, after a draw you can’t really take that much from today, but the next two become vital. We are playing well without a killer instinct through a tough run of games, but let’s see how we look in a weeks time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it works, it’s so satisfying. I used to love it under King Billy. The difference is back then we could defend and could ride the pressure better. At the moment, it becomes a case of when not if the opposition score and if we continue in that vein, it won’t end well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby blood Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Deffo turning a corner, need to start winning which we will do, players returning, it's deffo looking alot better than 4 games ago. Kamil back on Wednesday will help us as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcidaho Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 You want a manager screaming at the players to push up, grab the ball, dictate play, take ownership. We seem so meek in the second half. Body language, players being quiet... So frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 So disappointed Rooney waltzed back into the team despite not having a single good game since around February... then to take that free kick off Waghorn too?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t defend a goal lead link we did and expect to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justa Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Well that was a good point which I didn’t think we were going to get before the game. However, Phil has once again failed to convince me he has the skills to turn us into a winning team. I’m not calling for his head now but time must be running out ?

We’ve got 6 or 7 games now where we are playing more “winnable” teams in theory. We have had one or two hands tied behind our backs at time with injuries so far, and we’ve also played Reading, Watford, Norwich, Bournemouth, Cardiff etc which are all teams you expect to be top 6 there or there abouts. So, you’re right, but this is where we will find out what’s what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 54 minutes ago, Kernow said: Possibly, but we’ll have to see what happens in that regard. Two wins before the break would be a way to justify keeping his job to any prospective new owners. If we come out of those two with 0, 1 or 2 points then we might not need the new owner to do the sacking. No point in Mel sacking Cocu on his own. If the club is sold, Mel as a potential consultant would then be asked his opinion on the manager. Nobody knows what is best to do, least if all me.

There are so many things wrong with these decisions. Can't be doing squad morale any good and it's winding supporters up. Rooney may lack the self awareness and humility to see this. Our worst fears about his transfer are being realised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramslaar Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 If we had of won the last three games that would have been a very good point.its only not a good point because we are desperate for all 3.they will be a side right up there this season without doubt.

Grumpy Git Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 We've got 67% of our total points off two teams who were in the Prem last season. Yes lets sack Cocu and appoint someone who no one else has though worthy of a job, maybe R2D2 is twiddling his thumbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
