Passing is absolutely awful. 

Passing? What's that?  

[Bazly]

Pass stats have got to be struggling to get over 50% this half.

What are the tactics Brendan?

He’s gone in, not said a word, and press play on the last 15 minutes of polar express, then walked back out 

[whoareyaaa]

changing Vardy for Daka is so basic

Not sure that's right? If defenders encroach but the penalty is scored, they should ignore it, likewise if attackers encroach but it's saved or missed. But otherwise it should be retaken.

 

But they seemed to pay attention to this rule for about a fortnight and have now forgotten about it.

Nope. It’s like the offside rule, it only matters if the encroachee gains an advantage I.e. if the defender who has encroached clears a saved ball or an attacker who encroached scores a rebound.

How do people not get this, it's not encroachment if the ball ends up in the back of the net.

Yes, it is.

Lots of short pointless passing, this is all on Rodgers. He’s had too long with them and he’s resorted back to his philosophy. 

I’ve no issue with it, if we retain the ball and look to pull the opposition out of shape. 
 

We don’t through. 
 

We’re woeful.

Duck Dodgers would do a better job quite frankly.

Perez is a weakling

If the goalie saves it and it ends up at the feet of one of those players then it is encroachment. 

Should surely be retaken regardless, as I imagine it catches a keepers attention.

[Sly]

I’m amazed Faes hasn’t been booked yet.

But if the penalty is scored, it doesn't result in the penalty being retaken.

Their team do gain an advantage if they score.

 

This is the IFAB rule on it:

If, before the ball is in play, one of the following occurs:

• the player taking the penalty kick or a team-mate offends:

  • if the ball enters the goal, the kick is retaken

 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Danny Ward back to being a hologram and Luke Thomas playing like he's got Year 7 school shit-flickers on; we are back, baby!

[Guppys Love Child]

Aarrr. Why can't we just complete a simple pass?

Soumare and Thomas are worse 

[JimJams]

At least Southampton are helping keep us in the division.

[nnfox]

Tielemans has been woeful.

[StanSP]

This is absolutely terrible. None of our passes are going to a player in blue. 

 

I would say there's gonna be some aggressive tackles out of frustration but I don't even think our players have it in them.

[Mickyblueeyes]

This team is not being being prepared for games.

Yeah.  I've had enough of this ref.

They do a strong tackle and he lets it's go and when we do the slightest nudge in the back it's a free kick for Newcastle
