Heartless performance

[Yan89]

Plus they had England international, Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Brazil's goalie, Adrian, plus others that would get into most lower Prem teams each week. So how they can just be termed 'kids' I don't know.

Adrian is the Spanish guy who played for West Ham, but your point stands

You’re thinking of Alisson.

From players and fans alike ... There was nothing about tonight's game that suggested we were up for causing an upset ... Embarrassing

Heartless team performance. Totally disagree.
We didn’t take our chances, and got punished.
To to suggest they weren’t bothered ain’t true.

We only lost 0-2. Man utd lost 0-5. Just think, that means if we played Man utd, we'd beat them THREE NIL. Or something like that.

100% this. Thought fans were in relatively good voice in the first and also parts of the second. I also thought we played well first half after the first 10 mins, and a better tactician would’ve impacted the game more on 60 mins when it was clear Liverpool had solidified bringing on that unit Phillips at centre half. Frankie’s subs were like for like and we didn’t change shape or approach, which felt a bit ‘Football Manager’ to me.

Seani should’ve scored, but don’t discount the save from their keeper. Potts one on one should’ve done better, but we had the chance.

For my money, McCann man of the match but special mention to SVDB.

Perhaps unpopularly, I say Potts, Lindsay, Cunningham and Rafferty played well too - far better than they have in other games this season.

Game didn’t matter, but the whole time I thought deepdale felt a better, brighter place with bums on seats

I think one or two players played better than expected, Frankies game plan nearly worked but if you go into a game thinking you can't win it's no big suprise when you don't. In my book it was a missed opportunity.
I have a feeling something is going on behind the scenes but can't just put my finger on it.
Chip , any news?

Genuinely this. Don't really mind the plastics that much but seeing a shit ton leave with ten minutes still to go is just wtf. Why even bother show up, not like you thought we'd win to start with.

I left in the 93rd minute but only because Mrs Ando was picking me up near Marino’s 😉

Just think, when he organised defences at free kicks, it would be Adrian's wall.

 

[Schemer]

I'd like them to work on a new "Ridsdale Out" suite.

It was noticeable that he didn't do the presentation to Clarke.

 

[Ando60]

Sometimes I really doubt if these posters even bother to watch the match before commenting this shite.

Same with the Maguire thread. Anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together would've seen he was arguably our best player after McCann tonight.

The only thing that frustrated me ( especially in the 2nd half ) was that they kept punting high balls up to Maguire and he was never gonna win them against a lad who was about 6 or 7 inches taller…..

Who ? Ridsdale ?

Who ? Ridsdale ?

Nope it was Kevin Abbott.

Except we played their youth team with a sprinkling of true pro Liverpool players. It would be a cricket score if they played Salah and the like...

 

[Mancunian White]

That's been our modus operandi for 4 years now.

I'd have thought he'd have at least come out to clap. I was on the half way line in the Finney and couldn't see him anywhere.

 

[milkyken]

Whilst not disagreeing with anything else said this is exactly my point really. Only scoring 6 late on isn't affecting Bournemouth.

Probably because they are comfortably in control of the game by then.

We’ve only scored 14 so the 6 goals is actually better than the previous 60 minutes. The stat is actually the wrong way round.
