Head Choppers v Man United 8pm Mon 27/12

Actually fancy us here...

Reckon they'd be feeling the same way about us. Always rise it at home against us, they made it hard for the scousers few days back.

Plus we're lacking game given recent events

We'll see, depends on the attitude of the players and how they've been behaving on their time off

If we think we can just turn up then we're getting turned over

Hate to say told ye so



Ralf on here after saying we weren't physical tonight and it didn't change much from Norwich

Alright lads must have just thought we could rock up to James's park and get a handy 3 points. Musn't have heard of Newcastle United before

Covid not the be all and end all of excuses either. Just a handy thing to fall back on for the performance. They played that way against Norwich too before the covid stuff

Last night from 60/65 minutes onwards we gave it more intensity and had the crowd silenced and showed something like a team that suddenly wanted to win the game.

Where did they find that from if they were so bolloxed for the first hour??

It's one of the hallmarks of this team. Waiting for a 20/25 minute blitz (if not less) and hope for the best.

And lets face it, we're not talking about cream of the crop oppostion here where 20/25 domination would be a pipe dream

They kept the ball better in the second half, the possession stats showed that, keep the ball you run less and have better energy bursts . Plus those who are actually fully recovered will get fitter throughout the game - you'd expect the energy levels next game to be better again.

But you can't escape the fact that there is a large element of bottling going on in the side with too many players. Performance levels are not consistent enough with a shite mentality, too many 3/4/5 instead of 7/8 performances. Ralf has his work cut out and needs help in this coming window
