That keeper

[Broomhall Blade]

When you looked close they had some weaknesses. Decent and well organised, yes , but a few of them where just hoof monsters in defence, ball landed anywhere and few times dropped lucky for them. Let's get at them and hope we get that lucky bounce, we deserve a bit of luck or maybe a dodgy pen.
This is our time! UTB

I've said the same, I know their record says otherwise but I didn't think they looked very solid at the back against us.
How anyone can think their goalkeeper was MOTM.
Both the goalkeeper and their no 2 looked poor and we should try and exploit that if we can.

 

[Jan Age]

We need to focus on being more dangerous in possession we were way too easy to defend against on Saturday. 2nd half we looked pretty but had all the sting of a butterfly

 

[S64 Blade]

He does seem quite vulnerable. Also has a bit of a temper.

Twatting Jagielka around the back of his forehead was piss funny, one of the most random acts I've seen in a football match.

Perhaps a bit of name calling then

"Hah, you nearly dropped that you gret jessie."

That kind of thing.

Great post this

 

[Oldun]

He won the mind games

 

[LewishamBlade]

This fucking aged well

 

[ThatJa]

Their GK taking the piss and the ref not stopping him helped them in the shootout, refs a knob

 

[Houston_Blade]

2 saves in the game and 3 pens, shithouse cunt

 

[CPB]

He pulled off key saves.

He absolutely should have been booked early doors for his penalty shoot out antics. As the ref never did he was allowed to continue to piss around.
Premier League ref eh!

Having said that hourihanes pen was poor.

 

[wak1889]

Norwood was naive tonight grabbing the ball and standing there 90 seconds waiting, keeper won the mind games, feel the penalty line up was wrong myself but it's a lottery thought we were great for 120 mins

 

[Oldun]

Why did Norwood put the ball down and mark his run up so early. Keepers were still talking to the ref.

 

[cc1]

Lucky lucky cunt

 

[Mendi]

Indeed lucky

 

[georgethecat]

Looked off his line when Norwood struck the ball

 

[The Bear]

Samba's save off his studs one of the flukiest ever. Real jammy buggar. We had no luck in that game at all. Hadn't realised it was a one off wrestling-football match. Ref and assistants an absolute joke.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Let's see where his career pans out. I've seen him a few times and think he's a really poor keeper

 

[robbiez666]

He's got very strong hands. An extremely good thing for a keeper. He's the MoM tonight. Kept them in it. Got lucky but made himself big and covered as much of the space as possible.

 

[Minty]

Samba just played the game and did it well, no complaints from me. If Wes had done the same we would be calling him a hero. That’s life.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

He completely dominated the mind games. He reminded me of Donarumma in the Euro 2020 final. Laughing, joking, relaxed. Wes looked very tense in comparison.

He then slowed all of our lads down and made sure he was in control of the situation. 3 good saves, but Hourihane and MGW really didn't make him work hard enough. Norwood missing the first one was pretty criminal, it's so crucial that the first goes in.

 

[LewishamBlade]

Let’s not get mardy about a keeper being a shithouse after idolising Dean Henderson for 2 years eh?

Haha. End of thread!

 

[LewishamBlade]

Haha. End of thread!

For what it’s worth I like him. He’s a bit of a cunt, I’d have loved him in our sticks for the shootout as much as I rate Wes. He’s a big massive shithouse cunt with long limbs.

Disagree that it was criminal. At least Norwood leathered it...the keeper got his hand up and made a fine save. The other two that missed however, while the credit goes to the keeper for saving them, dear me, I don't get such laconic penalties. Why don't they fucking leather it? As a keeper myself I know that a properly hit penalty is giving you very little chance even if you go the right way...like Shearer used to hit em.

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

I was on about targeting him for set pieces and thrown ins. He won the shootout for them, fair enough

Hey if we weren’t allowed to be hypocritical we’d have nothing to moan about

When Michael Oliver decided to talk to the keepers for 5 minutes Norwood should have gone back to half way line with his team mates till their keeper was on his line. Should have took control of mind games. Can’t take a pen till keepers on his line so play him at his own game.
Also, why did ref decide to go to talk to Wes between pens to reiterate the rules when he never thought it necessary to have a word with their keeper. First pen he was well off his line when Norwood took it. Linesman has only one thing to watch at this point & he may as well been sat in pub with me

As soon as that happened I said to.myself,he's gonna start saving pens,it was written.
