Ipswich Town's Heavy Defeat to Manchester City
00:00:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello, everybody. We hope you had a good weekend, but here at the Daily Ipswich, Sunday was relatively bleak for us all with Ipswich's town, heavier to defeat heaviest defeat of the season. Six new at home against Manchester City. We will do our best to find some positives from Sunday's performance. We know it'll be very difficult to do so, but we will do our best, that's for sure, to help you look back on Sunday's drubbing from Pep's side. I'm joined by Rob Bins. How are you doing, Rob? That was a difficult game, wasn't it?
00:00:38
Rob Binns
Yeah, it was a tough one to watch that really. It's a game we had no expectation really going into, but it's embarrassing to lose by that sort of scoreline, especially by a team who had well-documented struggles this season.
00:00:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:00:53
Rob Binns
I think that's the... I think they said at the end that's their joint highest ever Premier League away win. So to get drummed by a scoreline like that against a team who's meant to be out of form and struggling this season is embarrassing really.
Analyzing the Unexpected Outcome
00:01:08
Rob Binns
It's not a season defining result, is it? So we we all we can do is move on and keep the heads back up for next week. you Somehow we've got to hope. Somehow it gets just as easy in the Premier League, don't it?
00:01:21
Rob Binns
Because we've got to bounce back by going to Anfield next week. We'll see.
00:01:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
The
00:01:27
Rob Binns
Hopefully we can turn it around.
00:01:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
The way, where the world is, we're probably drub them six. No, that's the way football works these days, but probably not that one. But yeah, it was very much, I think, as you said, going into the game, considering city's form, you, you great, you gave me some optimism. So I'm going to blame you for, uh, last week saying how, you know, they've got PSG to look forward to after that and some big games following that as well. So maybe we were kind of in the back of their minds, but they very much did kind of see us off. I feel it was a good relatively, you know, we're going to try and look at some positives here.
00:01:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
relatively decent first ten. I know they had a few charts and stuff here but we've we've made a habit of conceding early in a lot of games this season so especially against you know with quote unquote the best striker in the world up top who's just penned himself to stay in Manchester another 10 years almost.
Key Moments and Turning Points
00:02:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
You kind of thought that a goal from hit harland might have been a never so right to start but we wed we suppressed that but then floodgates kind of opened from I think it was Foden's first goal wasn't it seems to be back and form as well doesn't it but well well well-created goal as were a lot of the first few chances, weren't they?
00:02:27
Rob Binns
Yeah, I think, look, this it's very similar to Brighton really, weren't it? That we were doing all right, and then all it just all fell apart at 1-0, what the difference was today. it was one The 1-0 came 35 minutes earlier in the game, and it was a team with more quality on the pitch, who everyone's been saying for months now, or during their struggles, that what's going to happen is at some point they're just going to bat assembly, and then it's going to then they're going to come together. and is only everyone just had to hope they weren't the team that got bad.
00:02:58
Rob Binns
But unfortunately, they've come to Portland Road and got it out of their system, which to the worrying thing is really, we're saying that when I was saying about playing for PSG, they did.
00:03:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:03:10
Rob Binns
That's the that's a concerning thing. You know, they've, Savino didn't get on at all. Bernardo Silva didn't get on at all. Foden, Harland and De Bruyne all went off early. They did exactly what I thought they'd do and play with Wednesday's game in the front of their mind.
00:03:24
Rob Binns
The problem was that they still came, they still turned up and done the job before they say that they'd done enough of a job before they had to start thinking about subs and that, that they could, they could then just do Wednesday morning. Oh, um we'll chuck lu we'll chuck the young lads on, don't worry about the players you'd expect to start against PSG. And so take the three main players off that they'd done exactly what I thought. They were just already three or four nil up at the time to think about it, which was not what I thought would happen.
00:03:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, absolutely. Do you think, you know, as you said, City were kind of looking ahead, but with us, obviously this was, you know, there's no way of hiding from it. It was a really shocking result in the matter, the quality of opposition. Do you think, you know, cause this season we've we've played like teams who have been in better form than City in certain points of the season and we've put in some good performances against them. Do you think it's a mixture of It's just too much to ask in terms of who we're playing or there is like some blame to be pointed out on our end. Cause it's like, you don't want to look too harshly on the team. Considering like I said, going into this game, I don't think any of us are really expecting a win. Maybe a well-earned draw at best. A loss was kind of expected. Maybe this loss, but this loss, obviously it's a really deflating one. So is there other fingers to point? Maybe if you'll name certain individuals or is it just, it's a kick at the backside and let's move on.
00:04:43
Rob Binns
No, I think well it was it was a serious lack of organization defensively, I thought. that i said it wasn't There was no sort of like the clerk pass aside in the build up to the Harland goal.
00:04:56
Rob Binns
There was no real individual errors that caused those problems. it was just we say we've what We've become so good at in the last few weeks is
00:05:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:05:05
Rob Binns
defensive displays and eating up pressure, being disciplined, I can say, making it far across and then you head them all away, you get bodies on the line, just trying to stop the shots from distance or stop the player and play through the middle and your wingers drop and say the fullbacks help out and stop them getting out wide.
00:05:22
Rob Binns
It's all been very disciplined, defensive, everyone knows their roles, but that's when City scored some nice goals, like you were saying earlier, that
00:05:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah.
00:05:30
Rob Binns
they did say some of the football they played is the best they played in a couple of months really which is just unlucky it happened to be on the day but at the same time we also we played into that and ultimately that again like it's contextual because we played Thursday night and this fairly short turnaround until Sunday so you're not going to come out with the same 11 again for varying varieties there was going to be rotation but We changed three of the back five and then looked out of shape and almost like people were struggling to and know the roles
Defensive Struggles and Lineup Changes
00:06:04
Rob Binns
and stuff. And it made it easier for City than it should have been. And ultimately, like I said, we played a five that we say with only two of the players of and to played on Thursday. And so this it's a back five that I've never played together before. Obviously, we've got three only just coming in. there's no Apart from Burgess and Davis, there's no real relationship building been made there.
00:06:27
Rob Binns
And it was always there's always going to be a bit more a struggle than maybe previous games. But so it's just all all the sort of the slight little things that probably on their own wouldn't make much of a difference, just all combined together into an embarrassing result, really.
00:06:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm. Yeah, I have to agree. Before we go to the break, just we'll touch on the, uh, we briefly mentioned Foden's first goal there, but we'll just go through, there's a lot of goals to go for, unfortunately, but going to go through Kovacic and Foden's ones near their last stage of the first as well.
00:06:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was kind of an example when, when the second one in commentary did say, you know, they were tunnel up at Brentford and, you know, look what happened there.
00:07:03
Rob Binns
yeah
00:07:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
That was very much the back of mind. But so you were kind of hoping to get into the dunk there, the change room but without letting a third in. But unfortunately it came in, you know, I kind of felt but it was very much. At 2-0 it's difficult, at 1-0 it's difficult, but 3-0 it very much did seem, didn't it? Let's just try not to embarrass ourselves in a second, didn't it?
00:07:21
Rob Binns
yeah yeah that yeah three the third one was the turning point obviously it you always got a chance at one. let say Normally, you'd say two would have been the killer, but because of what happened at Brentford in the week, there was still the faint hope there if they couldn't do it again, could they?
00:07:37
Rob Binns
Because, I mean, even from the bottom of the three, they were to final earlier this year. So you could have argued at that point, maybe he was the is it was there a chance. But yeah, the third felt like the killer, really, didn't it?
00:07:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:48
Rob Binns
that And in fairness, up until the finish, we sort of squeezed in wasn't, didn't really get as contactly wanted on it, Foden, but not enough to put it in.
00:07:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:57
Rob Binns
Up until the finish, that was probably, that was the best move City put together all game. the That was, that was, that was going back to the City of Old who just knocked the ball about, make it look easy, breeze a few teams regardless of what they do.
00:08:11
Rob Binns
That was a, that that was a last season or and onwards Man City move, which It's the sort of moments that they've done against anybody where they just turn it on and there's, you have to be the top, top, top players to see it coming and stop it happening, which we are not at that level.
00:08:28
Rob Binns
So the first day it was the killer blow in context of the game. It was a disappointing one to concede, but that's sort of the one of the six out of anything you sort of, you can sort of look at and say, what are we supposed to do?
00:08:40
Rob Binns
And it's just pure quality from C.
00:08:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
but Yeah, very very good build-up wasn't it?
00:08:43
Rob Binns
Yeah. Yeah. It was a tough one though. That's when you knew it was over. Yeah.
00:08:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, absolutely. But this podcast is not over. we Hope you can stick with us guys. We know it's a difficult lesson after what a result was at Portland Road, but we're going to continue on. We'll take our first break and when we come back, we'll continue to recap Sunday's game.
00:09:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
me back here on the daily switch looking back at town's 6-0 defeat so that quietly six and I remember the score line against Man City this past Sunday obviously we've recapped a few of the city's goals there and obviously there's a lot to look back from all of those but we're in Ipswich Town podcast so let's focus on the tracks boys through a bit Rob the lineup as you said was changed quite a bit from Thursday's game albeit I think a lot of that was due to the short turnaround like you said Were there any surprises about team? I think for me, I don't know about you, but the inclusion of Jack Clark up top. We've kind of been a bit, I don't know about you, but I've been a bit divisive with him this season as to what sort of player he really is. And obviously that era didn't really help fans opinion of him in the second half as well. But considering the options we had on the bench, you know, it could have been a potential start for Philogene or a Burns or broadhead who was benched as well. Were you surprised to see him get over or any other inclusions as well?
00:10:20
Rob Binns
well, I was expecting broadhead, but then like I said, we played Thursday night, didn't we? There was going to, there was going to be changes in there and Clark had a good game in the FA cup that you sort of, you were hoping that would build his confidence.
00:10:32
Rob Binns
And I actually thought, obviously he went on to make, like I said, the only real big individual error of the game, really in the buildup to Harlan's goal. But I actually thought, like while it was nil, nil, I actually thought he was one of the brightest sparks on the pitch for both teams.
00:10:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:10:47
Rob Binns
I thought i thought that. the way he was sort of helping us be able to get out, because he was sustaining a lot of pressure. He sort he could sense him early on, the goal was coming. And so when we did sort of get the brakes on, he was that he was often quite the sort of a spark. And where we criticized him before is holding onto to the ball for too long. And it's just like doing the doing the good work. And you think, all right, there we go. Then he just keeps going when he should move the ball. And I thought he got that balance
00:11:18
Rob Binns
right really well in that first half. I thought it was a few little clever flicks and tricks in there as well to help the ball up to the lap or to help us get out of a tough situation. What I couldn't say, what was a really promising ah ah early performance just sort of blew away at the end with that. So as the goals kept going up at the other end, he got less and less and less involved in the
Hope for Improvement and Future Matches
00:11:41
Rob Binns
game. And then so then it was a big mistake. So it was almost fortunate in a way it was already game over at that point because If he'd done that at 0-0 and we were thinking we were getting closer to a positive result, that would have been more horrendous than it was.
00:11:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:11:56
Rob Binns
I was surprised to see him on there, but I don't think that one mistake tarnishes what I actually thought was a good first half performance from him. Hopefully it doesn't dampen his confidence too much after he's just got it up from that Bristol where I was going.
00:12:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, agreed. I think Jack Hart, it's a difficult player to assess that much. We haven't really seen much of him. I haven't really seen the sort of player we'd hope as much this season. Obviously it is a step up in league. That's, that's the same for most players in the team, isn't it? But I think for him, it's just like, I'm still kind of waiting really for at least a moment. But yeah, the Bristol Rovers goal, great for him to get, you know, a goal under his belt and you'd like to think that can move on eventually. But You know, again, some good build up there, but a huge sort of standout either assists or goal preferably from him.
00:12:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
or a tackle or just a game-changing moment. I don't think we've really seen anything from that bit. yeah I feel like with every single signing, even if Muric, you know, the Brighton performance, there's there's something I feel from every single signing of the season, but for him, it's maybe too harsh, but I just feel there's there's just there's nothing really to show for it. Is that too harsh to say? Like, you know, because you look at Q says fantastic tackle against United, the laps goals have been great. O'Shea started to find this. It's just been moments I feel you can pinpoint Johnson against Spurs. Do you know what I mean? there's There's some good examples, but for him, I can't really,
00:13:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Think of anything. Am I am i being too harsh? I don't know.
00:13:21
Rob Binns
I think he's improving. I'll say that much. He has he's had a poor start to the season.
00:13:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:13:27
Rob Binns
He was signed for a decent amount of money to bolster attacking options, and he scored his first goal in the FA Cup in January.
00:13:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, exactly.
00:13:35
Rob Binns
the but so the The improvements are there, I think, because say we obviously the hit the post against Fullham. That felt like that almost could have been his moment, but it was just a couple of inches to the wrong side.
00:13:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:13:46
Rob Binns
and then really I would say a positive performance in the Cup, and I'd say this, and say, obviously, say what you want about the form this season and say where that West City are compared to previous years.
00:13:58
Rob Binns
But you look at the quality, it was on that pitch today. I mean, I thought someone who actually you would have gone under the radar because of the score line, but Ruben Diaz going back into them today was fantastic.
00:14:09
Rob Binns
And it was particularly at nil-nil that every time we looked like we might go and do something.
00:14:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:14:15
Rob Binns
And then it was broken down because Ruben Diaz was in the way. and that is somebody they've done so that was made a big difference so it's going to be a tough game because of the quality city he had on the pitch and like I said for half hour to 45 minutes or so he looked like he looked sharp and so um up until if he hadn't ah ah made that mistake just before shortly before coming off that he's probably gone off and said that he'd done himself no in no issues that in terms of future games. so You expect Broadhead to come back in next week once there's a full week of rest in them so we're not having the quick turnaround again. But I'm just hoping like so i'm hoping that mistake doesn't crash his confidence back down to where it was before because we were just starting to see the signs of the player we saw at Sunderland and and say if he'd found his form he could have played a big role in the running but I'm hoping this doesn't send him back to square one.
00:15:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm. Yeah, very well put. We're just looking at the last, we're kind of, I think we're kind of f throw all the second half goals into one. Obviously we've kind of chucked on Jack Clark's mistake leading to Harlan's goal as well for the fifth. And then they kind of brought on the kids in the latter stages, didn't they man city, including Macatee, who's very well, uh, I looked at, I think by a lot of clubs as well as obviously manage themselves in a good finish, good header. I thought it was a really good well controlled header to kind of just completely kill the game. Wasn't it?
00:15:35
Rob Binns
Yeah, great ball from Kovacic as well. Had done most of the work for him really. that all and I could say the City scored some really high quality goals as well as the other thing you've got to factor in.
00:15:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:15:45
Rob Binns
Like I say that the Clarke pass was the only sort of error we made. so As a team who has got previous this year of good performances but thrown points away from silly mistakes and conceding goals from errors rather than ah ah something for once it was a game of just wasn't really, there wasn't too much we could have done. Like I say, we talked about the first half goals, the docu one, too easy in my opinion to get, there's that there was three um three on one at one point. it's It's too easy, but the skill it takes from him to just sort of, he picks it up like basically on the touchline, he drives all the way into the box and then finds the finish as well. that
00:16:26
Rob Binns
via deflection i suppose i do think walman had it about that little nick but is say as as poor as it is defensively it it does take a high quality player to execute something like that and and i said this guy the ball from col is you really good and say it look It looked easy, but it isn't still from Macatee side of things.
00:16:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm. Hmm.
00:16:45
Rob Binns
They've all done most of the work for him, but it's still not easy to ah you said to measure the header and make sure you still hit the target. that They did score some good goals, and I suppose what you can take that ah of what is a very very depressing game and sort of a big big morale hit, a score line like that, particularly from how we've been saying how close it is down the bottom.
00:16:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:17:05
Rob Binns
and so It was literally goals scored, are some wolves going into this week and then they play today yeah they might get thumped as well you never know but we were saying how close it was and now suddenly we've just given them six goal difference in one week there depending on so if they were to go on especially if they beat Chelsea tonight then there'll be a points gap and an even bigger goal difference that that's that's the really big concern for me today is that I was expecting to finish today was zero points to our name but the goal difference which was really close has taken a massive hit now which is a concern but
00:17:39
Rob Binns
5 out of 6 were pretty decent goals in all fairness, which is just the quality that City had, which is sort of a slight thing to lessen the blow. that It wasn't gifting goals away, it was just City turned and up.
00:17:52
Rob Binns
Like we say, that they've been due to bat at somebody. We're just the unlucky side too. We're on the end of it.
00:17:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
And.
00:17:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, absolutely. i Yeah, good goals taken by him as well. I think that's a really good point. Before we go to the brain, just got to look ahead a bit. We'll try try and find some bright sparks from this. Obviously, we saw the debut from Jaden Filigin. Obviously, not much to go from. And I didn't know he's back from injury to fair. Axel Twanzabi off the bench as well. I think two key key players who came off on the off from the bench there. I really think just seeing the brief few things he could do on the ball against a really top side, I think Filigin could be a really top player and a great C. Twanzabi back, wasn't it?
00:18:29
Rob Binns
Yeah, well, he's big miss, and he threatens to be that I don't know how fit he is. I don't know whether it's going to be a case of managing minutes or if he would be able to go in straight from the start next weekend. I'm filled, but I don't know.
00:18:40
Rob Binns
But he's he's been ah ah a contender for player of the season in the games he has played so far.
00:18:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:18:47
Rob Binns
And we have missed him when he's not been fit.
00:18:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:18:50
Rob Binns
Definitely. So it's so nice to have him back. And hopefully this hopefully he's done with his bad luck of injury to the season as well. but Yeah, it was a tough day for for Jean wasn't it really to to come on the team five nil down where. Didn't really get much chance. So the way city he was just knocking about once run on the clock down almost that he didn't get much time on the ball to sort of show himself. We had that one good passes are played anywhere he picked up. He held on Road a challenge or two and sort of. Tried to set us away. That's that's the sort of close we got to sign the things to come that.
00:19:25
Rob Binns
So certainly we know, we know what you can do from seeing him last year at hole. And then I haven't seen much of him this year with what's going on in Villa, but we know, we know there's a player there. He's just, today wasn't the day for him to come and show us better. So that one little runny, and it shows the, shows the quality does have, it's just, we need to see it. what We need to, we want to see it when it doesn't come on at five nil down. So it's not going to get any easier next week, but Certainly we look at Southampton, the one after that. If he's on the ball, we could be a very key player in that way from the start or off the bench.
00:20:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Absolutely. We're going to take our final break of the show when we come back. We'll just be recapping a bit of the game again still, as well as looking forward as well.
Looking Ahead: Challenges and Opportunities
00:20:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fantastic. Yes, we are back here. Final part of the Daily Up switch, looking back at town's results against Manchester City over the weekend. Let's move forward though, Rob. You know, it was it was a tough game. As we both said, you don't really want to come into this. We didn't really come into this game expecting a season defining results and and a big victory. And it it wasn't to be obviously albeit a bit of a drubbing, but you know, we moved forward. a Tough trip to Anfield in the coming days, but after that we've got Southampton.
00:21:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Here's hoping for a wolves capitulation at Stamford Bridge this evening. I don't know how that's gonna go. Obviously, Chelsea, you can't really predict them. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're great. But where where's your head at? I think just moving forward, like relegation hopes, you know, the Richard and James who aren't with us today in our chat were relatively bleak. You know, that it's not usually that they're cheerful selves after what two poor performances really on, on, on the face of against Brighton and city. But as I said to them two years before that, we got four points against Fullerton and Chelsea. So it really is a game by game basis. Is that where your heads at? Are you sort of writing our obituary now or, you know, is it too soon for that?
00:21:44
Rob Binns
It was a bad day, wasn't it? that Not only from the fact that said we knew like I wasn't expecting to get a result today, but like I say, the big issue was the goal difference, because it has been so, so close that there's now, I'd say, without a difference in how little we score, and especially and then obviously before you even then factor in the goals we concede.
00:21:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:22:07
Rob Binns
we it will take probably two or three games at least to make six goal difference back. though It's almost like giving an extra point to Wolves. And obviously it's still, we don't know how there is got and we don't know how to their their result happens.
00:22:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:22:21
Rob Binns
do We don't know whether that is, are we still level on points or is there a gap there as well? And obviously before our game even kicked off, you had Everton getting ah ah and getting a great result against a home dispersed that just increases the gap further from another team that And so it's almost, in a way, it's almost sort of drag Spurs down into it with, so I'm not sure. I have a feeling Ange probably won't have a job by the time people were listening to this podcast um after that result today. But one we'll, we'll see. But yeah, I don't know. it It's, it was a bad day all around really, but so the the almost not the most annoying thing. Obviously there's many annoying things about the day, but after a result like this, you want to just,
00:23:05
Rob Binns
It sort of sets you up. You want to go bounce back the following week. they're like Make a point to yourselves, show up as a one-off, move on, and we're away from home to the league leaders who have lost once there all season.
00:23:18
Rob Binns
It's the worst possible game to have, literally, in terms of the league table, the hardest game we have all season. And it's come off the back of a result like this.
00:23:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:23:28
Rob Binns
that It's the worst, like I say, you really want to push back. Have it been Southampton that would have been? Like I said, the flopners swap the light the and these two fixtures around. You'd really want to want to go and make a statement performance, but it feels like the way Liverpool have been going this year that a statement performance could still end up getting beat. So it's it's a really, really bad day that, like I say, I'm a proper morale killer. as i it is It's very much a week by week thing.
00:23:58
Rob Binns
at both ends of the table this season, but obviously you're in the content and our context, down the bottom, your view changes from week to week. Like sit like one result, even if it's a point, can change your view so drastically, or the opposition result going your way that, let's say today is one of the biggest lows so far, really, that, because it was, there goes it goes, it was embarrassing, ultimately, wasn't it?
00:24:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hm.
00:24:27
Rob Binns
number, like, literally, like, think how good city have been over the years. They've only ever done that score line away from home once before. And they've done it, and they've done it today where they're meant to be out of form and everyone's struggling and ah they they're struggling, they've pulled themselves back into the top four now where they're meant to be fighting to struggle to even get to the top four.
00:24:51
Rob Binns
He's an embarrassing result. There's no way around it. But it's It's now about bouncing back and unfortunately we have the worst possible game to do that but then we have one of the biggest games of the season the week after that.
00:25:06
Rob Binns
So I don't know.
00:25:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm. Yeah.
00:25:08
Rob Binns
It's one to forget.
00:25:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:25:10
Rob Binns
It's just how quickly do we figure forget.
00:25:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. I see. I see what you mean about it's, it's, it's a bit of a, like, you wouldn't want to, after that result, you wouldn't want to be going to Anfield against like the team that's been best all season. Just like maybe but made a slight encounter. It's like, you know,
00:25:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
you know, because it can't get worse than that, really, like, hopefully, surely it can't. And, you know, as you said, I think i think a good performance against us, but I think so against a side like that, you know, know, ah a valiant, again, a lot, it's not, it's not, I don't think it's bad to expect a loss and field.
00:25:34
Rob Binns
Well, I don't know.
00:25:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think even top sides really go very expected, not really to get anything from it. But just try and try and just just put your best foot forward because I think this really just has to be a kick at the backside for the team. I i know obviously McKenna's very like reserved in his way he speaks to players and I obviously don't know how he's going to be if he's going to give him a lashing or just sort of don't, hey lads look at that, let's move on slightly. but maybe playing maybe playing a team equally as good or slightly better as is good, you can test yourself and then rather than going straight into the Southampton game where we've just come off our worst result of the season and if performance isn't that great in the first 10 you're immediately referring back to how awful it was last week as opposed to that valiant 2-0 loss you had at Anfield when you put in some good performances against you know in what is also maybe the most intimidating atmosphere to play in the Premier League or one of the most intimidating Europe as well I think. There are
00:26:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
good things that I think take from playing well as well. I think just looking back also on this performance as well, like because it like it it was a 430 game in the UK, so a lot of coverage was on its that's on the club as well. It's it's a brief shot window that Town has really, because we haven't had many games all apart on that and that schedule. I think our biggest one was probably Amorim's debut, hence I think it was more of a Man United reason for that game happening rather than us. but it was a bit of a shame just seeing the discourse online from people who you can tell don't watch it switch weekly like we do and haven't seen the good performances put in there and you see that and you just think oh they just don't have a promoted side who really shouldn't be here they got no business being here and that was that was the annoying thing you want people to see the quality and also like how big players like Dilap and that have been touted a lot this season or he did have a few good moments in the first half but that was I think that was a big shame as well for me I don't know about you just
00:27:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
you want people to see our club. It's the reason for being in the Premier League is more more eyes on us. And there are, and I think most of them are positive. But when you have someone like this, it's like, guys, this isn't who we are. It's just a bit of a shame to have the rest of the country see us about, I think.
00:27:37
Rob Binns
Yeah, it's not ideal. To be honest, that I'm not overly bothered about the outside perception, to be honest. It's not something...
00:27:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
I am.
00:27:45
Rob Binns
Obviously, ideally, you don't you don't want... It was a bad game to have pick for TV. You're gonna lose by this sort of scoreline. You want it to be Saturday at 3, so at least there's not all sorts of numbers being dragged in to watch it.
00:27:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:28:00
Rob Binns
But i'm not I don't really care that in what people think. that I'd say if they look at it and base the whole opinion offer today, I don't really care what the people want, what they want to say. And so hopefully we've proven wrong by the end of the season anyway. But ah ah it's very it's very much week by week that we've had a few weeks like this where we've almost, we're talking about missing the championship and giving up hope almost at the season. But ultimately it is, we're still level points with walls subject to
00:28:33
Rob Binns
their game tonight. And it's only four away from four. So it's four off ever now. But still, and it's it's only four and in 1716 games left of the season that that can be made up, especially when you still have to play them as well.
00:28:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:28:48
Rob Binns
It's too early to be given up hope. So it is it's a week by week thing. This week's a bad week. Next week might be a good week. You don't know like we' so We're all flying high after Chelsea Fulham, and then we've had a couple of bad results, and we're all down low again. It'll take a couple of good results. We'll be up high again. this ultimately how we feel weak is It changes every week and how we feel this week. It doesn't matter. It feels bad now, but we won't think back to, I remember the week we lost to Brighton and a Man City in a few days, and we and that was it. We thought that was it down now. But if you're looking back in May and you're 17th, and you've stayed up on goal difference, so
00:29:26
Rob Binns
whatever it is, you don't care. So it's how we feel that that week in May, when we know we've run out of games.
00:29:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
no
00:29:33
Rob Binns
That's that's how that's the one that matters now how we feeling down about it in January, is ultimately not going to matter one way or the other by the end of the season. It's just tough to take on the day itself.
00:29:44
Rob Binns
And so by next week, we hopefully would have forgotten about it and have something more positive to talk about.
00:29:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I'm starting to forget about that game already to be honest, I think we should move on and as he said, enjoy the rest of the week and moving forward as well. That's going to do it for today's show. We are actually approaching episode 100 of the daily which is really, really great. I think a lot of people, we thank every single person for listing and making that possible and all that.
00:30:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
brilliant stuff. I think moving forward next week we've obviously got our Liverpool preview, Tactics Tuesday to come as well as our crossovers with the Liverpool lads and then it'll be episode 100 very very soon which we'll try and provide you guys with something special for that one as well. But that's going to do it for today's show. Thank you so much for joining me Rob and thank you everyone for listening. We'll see you guys next time.
