We got caught with our pants down first 15-20, sluggish at best but grew into the game, my stream went down about then and missed our two goals, so I rebooted and rejoined on 35 mins, Macca’s Red was never a red, it was only a red cos Christie rolled about like dying dog, so what if Macca had done the same, who would have gotten red then ?
It was a 50-50 challenge, both players feet were at the same height, no malice, no intent to harm, so why a red, it was a yellow at worst and both players should have faced it, but even then when football was football and not this diluted version both players would have just got on with it,but the Numpty ref without a second’s thought decided it was dangerous, f***in clown, and then backed up by is equally Numpty mate as the VAR, so obviously no change then from them this season, mates looking after mates again, and F**k what’s fair ??
Why was Trent allowed to stay on the pitch for as long before being dragged off, it was clear and obvious he had a problem, hopefully he’ll be ok once the physio beats him up, medically, more worrying is Diaz, that looks like groin strain or worse for me, but again physio’s can work wonders these days, be gutted if he misses the trip to Nooky broon land,
Szlobos is boss, what a player this lad is, second game in anger and he produces that, I knew the lad was a good fit but holy Muther of panty liners this fella creamed a few knickers by that performance, I thought Lucho was boss too and hastily gave him my MAN of the match (cos no women were involved) but on reflection Dom was the bomb, wasn’t he ?
It’s early days yet but can anyone else see what I see, a Red juggernaut reviving its engines, and once all of those fire breathing cylinders are at harmonious play we’re going to take some stopping , there were moments yesterday when I just said Wow, the movement, the intricacies, the beginning of a understanding between defence , midfield and attack, we seen moments where everyone was singing the same tune, and the only let down was the final passing, we could and should have had five or six yesterday, easily, and we could have lost two or three easily too,
Are we seeing us back in Rock n Roll football mode again, but this time a more coherent faster more attuned version, i dunno but all the signs are there, all I know is I’m loving it already and can’t wait for the next episode, a word of caution though, we won’t have it all our own way like we did for the most part yesterday, there will be moments where our pants will be around our ankles, next possible exposure could be against the barcodes at their gaff next week, but no one seen us take a point off those horrible plastic Cnuts at the bridge did they ?
Good win yesterday, was expected of course but a win is a win is a win, 4 out of six isn’t too shabby, we have bundles of energy, we are beginning to gel a bit more, the cohesion is improving as is the pace, movement and the unity, all in all, we will be a very dangerous entity, that Red Juggernaut is revving up and soon the ground will rumble with its power, they don’t know it yet, but Pep, Arteta, Poch, and wee Eddy are on the highway to Hell !!!
