Another game we should have won. 1 point is better than ****-all and the only bright side is the taking 2 points away from Brentford
FS should have won that one, once again we go threw a very poor second half spell where we throw the game away,got lucky with the equaliser, looking more ominouse than ever that christmas fixture list against quality teams.
Yeah what a tool! Anyway had resigned myself to a loss, only to find out we equalised in min95, serves the cheating time wasting ****s right.
Ah! Sore point, I'm double booked, told the misses to book us a midweek break in March, forgot to tell her what Cheltenham week was, and lo and behold guess what, we've tried to change it but as it was a black Friday deal they won't move it.
Meslier - 7. Didn't have alot to do. Handled the high balls well. Ayling - 6. A little rusty but worth his place in the side. His leadership qualities will be vital in the months to come. Got assist for the equaliser. Cooper - 6. Did OK. Didn't have a great deal to do. Off injured. Llorente - 6. Not at his best but probably still our best defender. Firpo - 5. Improving with every game. Makes some very good runs in attack but very poor defensively. The mix up with Forshaw cost us the second goal. Performances so far do not warrant his place in the team. Dallas - 6. Overall a decent performance but he was outmuscled for the first goal. Forshaw - 7. Looked the hardest worker in the team. Grafted and ratted and kept us ticking over in possession. Phillips - 7. Look at the state of out midfield when he went off. Nuff said. James - 4. First touch was woeful. Delivery was woeful. Continuously off side. Grafted his heart out. He is not a striker. Raphinha - 7. Great assist. Great skills but I get the feeling he doesn't trust his teammates with the ball. A bit too greedy at times when he has two or three men on him. Still our main threat. Roberts - 7. Solid performance. Deserved his goal, caused problems all afternoon. Should have slid Rapha in on goal first half when he had his shot tipped over. Subs. Harrison - 6. Put a few useful crosses in when given the ball in the final third but was woeful when defending. Klich - 6. Dilly dallied on the ball a bit too much for me but ran hard to force numbers on both wings. Just a bit of a let down with possession. Bamford - 7. Looked well rusty buy got the all important equaliser.
Can one of your mates not step in and take your place so she still gets her holiday and you get Cheltenham?
The one I was pointing out was Janelt went down the back of Raphinha Achilles in the first half and the ref was 5yds away and did fck all, just sub standard ref, the FA are to blame over this. Phillips is toast, lost interest, his post on comments that him and Bielsa are fine are a load of bollocks, word of advice Phillips, move your family away before you sign for Man U.
I don't usually comment on the referee but I thought he handled it very poorly. He gave alot to Brentford but also reacted to the crowd.
Well deserved point today. We're still making poor decisions in the final third but having Paddy back will help. I think losing Cooper was a problem meaning we had to change the team around but losing Philips was huge. I think if Philips is there we don't concede the goals. I actually thought Firpo was much better today. Roberts MOM
