qwertyell Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 Not sure there's anything out there for us today. City too sharp on the break, both midfielders on bookings and unable to make any more tactical fouls, Ings injured - the omens aren't good. They'll get in again. We've been half decent, though. Can't complain about the performance - City just have more quality. Obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 Why is it that every time I see Sterling against other teams he misses so many sitters, against us he scores the difficult ones. So annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was deffo Townsend, that's why they kept referring to the last time Saints beat Arse at Highbury, he was in the team that day, name checks to Jimmy Case. To be fair he has been better today, still loathe him, though probably not as much as I do 'Arry. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no right to expect a result in these types of games, just give it our all and hope for some luck. Unlike July, we’ve not had the latter today (at least not yet) and I guess you then just hope you end the game with 11 men and not being on the end of a morale sapping hammering.

Behind Enemy Lines Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 If I was Ralf, I’d have said to the ref at half time, that after the game he’s going to complain and highlight his performance to the governing body. Criminal a ref can be so biased. May have made him re-think about the second half. Wishful thinking I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 We're playing really well and it's an entertaining game. We're unlucky to have that dinosaur Mike Dean refereeing us, he is usually detrimental to us, and he has liberally scattered the cards against us, while going easy on City. He ought to have yellow carded Cancello for his tackle on Walcott, who would have been able to press forward toward the box otherwise. As it is, we have both of our centre midfielders on a yellow. Pre-match, it was puke-making having us described as Redknapp's former club, but nobody ever mentions that he got us relegated. Congratulations for both of them not being able to prevent themselves from mentioning the 9-0 defeat. How long is that going to go on? A real shame to lose Ings, but an opportunity for Teller to show what he has. City are always dangerous on the break and with the quality that they have they can punish anybody. But carry on playing as we have since we went a goal down, and there is no reason why we shouldn't get something from this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewYorkSaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 Big picture. We're up against one of the world's best teams... and for 44 mins of the half every bit as good as them. My worry is second half... less energy, two midfielders booked. Hope Ings is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest guv Same, captained Sterling and vice captained De Bruyne so some consolation so far. Really hoping Ings’ injury isn’t serious. It’s a bit like his loan season when he was getting knocks. We’re not out of this but a second City goal and I think that will be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 Thought it might have been an idea to rest Ings today. 3 games in a week is a lot for someone coming back from injury. Huge concern that it’s his knee again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 Just saw Shearer on DAZN. I saw that the Arse fans were upset at Walcott celebrating against them. I remember going to St James’ and Shearer scored against us and he made a point of running up to where we were in the upper deck to totally rub our faces in it. Game finished 4-0 with Dodd getting an early bath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 Still don't understand why City aren't wearing their home kit. Seems most clubs choose their second kit by default for away games this season, even if there's no clash with their first kit. Is it a contractual thing? Is it to boost sales of replica away kits?

niceandfriendly Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 Don't agree that we're playing well, not to our usual standards anyway. Often careless in possession in areas we're usually more efficient, not moving as a team, not commanding the middle of the park, sloppy. That lino should be fired for that mistake. Seriously.
