Denzel Zanzibar 6,972 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Watched the highlights and jesus, how wasteful were we in front of goal? Good job Barnsley didn't take their early chances or that could have been a very different game. Still papering over the cracks imo Link to post Share on other sites

Smogzilla 7,484 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I really don't understand what Barnsley were trying to do defensively last night. It was utter chaos. Fanatical commitment to a high line. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It is frustrating but I understand why he does mess up so much possession when he has the ball Just like Frank Lampard. People used to go on about how many goals he scored. Not surprising, given how many bloody shots he had every game! Sure we all remember the kid who we played with, who when he got the ball we knew he would shoot from wherever he was. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,320 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Couldn't watch last night's game as the streams from my usual sites were unwatchable (freezing every 30 seconds or so). So thanks for the Sky Sports link DS! 👍 Watching the highlights, we had a real let off with that Barnsley effort that glanced off the post. Could have been a different game had that gone in. Another let off when Lumley spilled a shot. On the plus side, very nice link-up between McNair and Sporar for our first goal. Payero's got a hell of a shot on him - surprised it didn't carry the keeper into the net. Comedy gold miss from Watmore (think any of us would have scored that one). Bit of a 6-yard box scramble for the second. Looked like Crooks got his head to it. Bit scruffy but they all count. Barnsley keeper definitely looked the busier - made a couple of good saves from Watmore & Tav. BBC stats make curious, yet also positive reading. Barnsley apparently had more possession, but Boro had far more shots on goal (21!?) with over a third on target. Well chuffed. This was a game we should have won on paper. Nice to see it actually played out that way. Two wins on the bounce...people are gonna be talking about the play-offs again! 😁 Link to post Share on other sites

If only Tav was anything like as good as Lampard! To be fair to Frank though he got a lot of goals from timing his runs into the box, to get on the end of balls from team mates (as well as long range efforts). Whereas Tav just bombs forward with the ball and looks for opportunities to shoot. Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,056 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Seriously, why do some people pronounce pay as peee in Payero? No more jokes, please .. I am actually interested in this, as I study English to become an English teacher 🙃 Link to post Share on other sites

Weasel 966 Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 Don't really mind Tav taking shots personally, he was wasteful yesterday but he was super positive going forward and just gives us a spark that we lack when he's not playing. It wasn't long ago we were all complaining about never taking long shots and claiming Lewis Wing was the only one capable of it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Leesider 1,076 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Im baffled as to how nobody watches the game when we win yet the the world and their mothers sees our defeats. Very odd. 🤔 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I think different interpretations are drawn from people trying to pronounce a Spanish-oriented name in their own regional English accents, in the same way I've endured some mildly comical attempts by foreigners to pronounce my own (Scottish) surname. https://www.howtopronounce.com/payero Link to post Share on other sites
