Pre Match - Watford (h) - Sat 12:30

[Judge Jules]

Definitely a pen, but that type of challenge happens every single game...and they never punish it.

That slopeheaded tit Dean Ashton was ranting against the award for exactly that reason. Makes no odds. The fact that referees make that mistake consistently doesn't mean they should continue doing it. Either change the rules (which I would NOT favour) or give the pens and make players change their approach.

Here comes Jurgen

Fist pump time !😀

 

[tombrown]

Fume will be fun

Just been on there. There seems to be unanimous agreement that VAR got the pen decision right and that the dippers fully deserved their win.

I'm lying

 

[Markeh]

Who’s idea was it to bring Zola in to sit beside 3 giants?

 

[Athens]

Never in doubt.

Jota would beat those two in the air

I'm lying

I was so shocked when I read that initially ..would’ve been a good April fool that hahaha

true, Crouch had great feet for a big man though

 

[MomoWASright]

Right, we need 15 more wins. Who shall I sacrifice to ensure that happens?

Don’t pull me up on a technicality we can draw two of those. If you do it’s you getting sacrificed.

 

[Frogfish]

Some right shite performances there : Jones, Hendo, Mo. (shouldn't have started as I said pre-game)
Some ave. ones : Robbo, Matip & VvD (I think those two were poor in advancing the ball and slowing us down)
Some good ones : Gomez, Jota, Bobby, Ali, (Fabs when he came on).
One excellent game : Thiago

 

[Alan Hardaker]

All a bit lethargic wasn't it. Not much urgency or invention. Sort of end of season mid table kind of stuff. But we did enough to get the points.

MOTM....er...nobody springs to mind..go for Jota.

 

[Shay_K]

Roy dosn't know what VAR is for???

Thiago was in a class of his own.

 

[Judge Jules]

Agree with Thiago but an honourable mention for Gomez who produced his best ever display at RB, IMHO of course.

 

[Red rose]

For sure..
Long may it continue !

 

[Shay_K]

Did somebody swear on BT sports?

Right @Brizzle get the next one up. Show some discipline man. We’ve got a quad to win

 

[mark1975]

Mrs had 2-0 and Jota to score anytime, she doesnt usually bet but she won on our last game too. Roll on Aintree.

Does she think a win at Citeh is on? Please tell me yes!

Nah... He was brilliant against Everton about 5 years ago.

 

[Judge Jules]

I'll take your word for it obv, but till today he's had too many poor games in that position for my liking since then. Hope he keeps this up now if we use him there again.

Old people and technology don't always get on

The System™️ requires a cool off period after a win, typically one nights sleep.

All we have to do is pray that Dreamy doesn’t launch one whilst we wait!

 

[Brizzle]

Thiago MOTM for me. In the first half he was everywhere whilst Curtis floated around and Jordan hid from the ball whilst pointing out other passes.

God we need Fabs & Thiago together as much as possible, those other two were woeful for the most part.

 

[Buddha]

Old people and technology don't always get on

Plus he’s a bitter old cunt.

 

[Red rose]

thought Thiago was brill today 😀

 

[Alan Hardaker]

Thought Joe Gomez did well. Good cross for the goal, Shows what a quality player he is. Thiago is obviously vastly experienced and did well but it was a lame performance. Looked like we needed a lie in..

 

[Modo]

Thiago looked like a player who's had a good weeks rest.
It doesn't surprise me that our best players today were the ones who weren't away on international duty.

Yeah very clear.

Let's hope we can beat Benfica with resting a few players
