Hafnia Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Rafa doubters need to stop doubting. I've seen enough to know we are in very good hands. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Against run of play. As far as I'm concerned we are well in this game. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunlopp9987 Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Well the end to the half was sort of like a wet fart. Thought we were excellent for 42 minutes, especially going forward, which I absolutely was not expecting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 I don't agree it was against the run of play. It wasn't coming as such but if you let teams in and around your box too often, the margins for error are much smaller. Townsend doesn't make the interception, Godfrey is sucked into the ball and neither he nor Mina can then get back out to the ball. The power on the shot is enough to beat Pickford along with the slight deflection. United have had the best two chances, they have been in and around our box more than we have been around theirs. Our best chance from Rondon was offside and the other two have been blocked shots. (I may have missed a chance as my stream went down for 5 minutes or so - Gray maybe?) We are very much in this game though but we are going to have to take one of those counter-attacking chances. If we get the goal early enough, I can see United opening up a bit more and that will give us some more space to play in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badaids Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Bollocks. Stream went down, it comes back and it's half time and we are a goal down. We were lucky to survive the initial onslaught but we were their equal for much of the half. That was a good team performance, and as for Man Ure there's no way they can win the league surely. In spite of all the money and talent Ole's hasn't a clue what he's doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggytop Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Tough on us to be going in one down, we’ve not been outplayed, and need to do more of the same and try not to get our shots blocked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 I'm mostly pleased with what we showed in that half. United started better and we had to just stay in it, but we grew into the game well and caused them problems. Now we need to stop them getting in again and hope we can take a chance at the other end. barryj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was slightly against the run of play and with a slight deflection it compounded the problem. There is no way on the balance of play we should have gone in down.

There is no way on the balance of play we should have gone in down. If it was against the run of play it would imply that we had the upper hand in the game. Whilst we have had small spells, we have never had that control on the game. United have had that control, especially early on, then it was quite balanced but they were starting to control the game again at the end of the half. You can say there is no way we should have gone in down, but if we had conceded three goals from their three good chances, it wouldn't have been harsh.
