St. Ciervo

Downes just seems out of control always. Lucky to not get a straight red. That should have been his second yellow. He is a guaranteed yellow each game, but rarely is it tactical or effective.

We look more like Tyson v. Paul. Slow and out of our league.

Since when was SR sensible?

Baz's weakness may be shot-stopping, but Macca seemingly has no strength. Passing... no. Shot stopping.... not if it is on the ground or towards his near post. The real problem is not any of our keepers. Our terrible defense has made even Ramsdale look shaky.

I wonder if that dutch keeper would have remained with us in the championship. Ramsdale is way above that, certainly.

Hold On for Dear Life... That basically sums up the season. The fact that it will be on the players a** basically makes it better.

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo CARES?

It is that SR shine. We make everyone look like a total asshat.

The only data that matters is 0 points. Maybe AA will score a goal and maybe we won't get overrun midfield. Maybe SR has a plan for January and yetis are real.

We are getting a bounce, we're just a lead ball. We went from losing 0-5 to 1-2. #Results

Dont believe we have one.

How can you say that with a straight face?

Losing coverage, while feeling torturous, is probably mercy. It came back in time to watch the soft yellow on THB. Normal programming resumed.

Thats a foul on Les, but that wasnt a foul on Ramsdale earlier... I am in upside down world.

I dont understand the rule apparently.

Football is fun again... over night.

Sure we sat him in a wide position, but rarely (if ever) did we play a long ball to him to chase. This is a kid that will go for cheap somewhere else and find joy. I hope sooner than later for all of us.

I hope this means 30% off for other teams to take BBD, Stephens, and Macca. What a Christmas it would be.

Do you think the big man is going to be able to go given the short break? We hadn't seen him go 90 EVER. But you are right, the man deserves another go if able.

Luckily there is VAR so us simple fan-folk can see the hair pulling.

I wonder if Gakpo or Ramos would have hit such heights if they came here instead. Sulemana has been used incorrectly for his entire time here. He is pure speed, but we have been asking him to play with his back to the goal. I am sure we could have equally mismanaged either of those other 2 players. Edit: My post had nothing to do with RS... He could be managed by any one of us.

Except it is bloody winter.

We've had multiple months for a light-paced pre-season.

Such a positive half. Great escape is possible -- we are at least a mid-table team.

Our team is not used to pressing. A large break midway is probably just what we needed. Hope the goalie is alright. Terrible to see.
