Luton are a good footballing side to be fair
Re: Luton are a good footballing side to be fair
Early days and no one knows how good or poor they are yet. Might be initial enthusiasm after promotion but time will tell. That's why they were such tricky opponents to assess.
Re: Luton are a good footballing side to be fair
The played well against Middlesboro last Friday, but at the time I thought the size of their pitch may have been a factor in that.
Re: Luton are a good footballing side to be fair
Didn’t create much and we got done by a set piece
Re: Luton are a good footballing side to be fair
More backward passes than forward passes. I know we don't play "pretty" football but feck me, sideways, sideways, backwards, sideways, backwards, 20+ passes without crossing the half way line, the BBC called in "patient"! Where's the yawn emoji gone?

If i was going to pay Luton a compliment then i'd say that they were average at best. Thank god that the possessed less pace than us.

They were certainly better than us in trying to con the ref, (murphy take note, and don't do that shit again), throwing themselves to the floor at every opportunity, their keeper must have a problem with his balance as well.
they got what they deserved, fk all.

Murphy take note-If you're going to cheat, then do it better.

Wasn't surprised the keeper had cramp, he had as many touches as anyone.
I don't mind teams playing out but constantly pinging it back to the keeper, who plays to the centre half who passes back to the keeper is no better to watch than just lumping it upfront.

Doesn't bother me, although i respect those who are offended by such actions.
Re: Luton are a good footballing side to be fair
They were the much better footballing side and deserved a point until their hijinks ("game management") at the end.

Didn't create much though. Let's face it, every team we come up against are going to play more 'football' than us.
Re: Luton are a good footballing side to be fair
Thought they were poor defensively and with better choices and the run of the ball we could have been well in front. That late goal was very important.

That farting around at the back almost cost them a couple of goals too.
OK for Man City, but their no 5 thought that he was the old Brazilian Ronaldo.
They are both fat mind

Oi, show some respect. R9's one of the best of all time
Re: Luton are a good footballing side to be fair
They must have only had two shots on target for all their possession.
Very slow defensively and offered nothing in the final third.

I think that was as much due to our defensive discipline.

On an interview when he was at Madrid Ronaldo was asked what he thought of the fans and newspapers.
He said, "When I score I'm a Galactico and when I don't I'm fat!"
Re: Luton are a good footballing side to be fair
Luton may have passed the ball about a lot but that was because we let them and it wasn't hurting us. They offered little going forward in a real attacking sense.
We should have won comfortably but for some poor finishing and, in the end, got out of jail with that late goal.
