Reality is that we have gone from second best to about 6th best. This result does not change the reality of the last 6 weeks. It just adds to it. United / Woolwich away and now this. Patterns v our “rivals”
Now, essentially half way through, it’s become obvious that nowhere near enough was done in the summer. Squad did not improve enough. It’s a shame. It’s a fact. We have a brilliant team. But the squad overall is not brilliant enough. Anyone see GKN of late ?
It appears now that perhaps letting some of the egos go would have made more sense than keeping them. Dier is an example, why’s he here...?
More widely. Some problems we could not have seen, for example have Dembele’s legs gone ?
Today. We were abject. No where near aggressive enough. Not quick enough. And certainly not brave enough. Given I had the same feeling against United and Woolwich ( and a few other games to be fair ) my anger toward the bench is increasing. Manager needs to be gripping some of these lazy cunts. Too many excuses.

You missed my point, no matter.
I am going to watch the shinning to cheer me up
I'm sure Tom Daley would like to be his partner.
At some point questions need to be asked why we don't turn up against the top sides. Poch made a big thing about changing the mentality when the came in...... I don't see it, we turn up at these games like we're there to try compete not like we're going to win. The book (which I know a lot on here say doesn't really say much to cause problems with our players) but I think it's more than that, it's as if Poch has started to believe his own hype. Do a book when you've won things and left a legacy fair enough, but not when others are hyping you after a couple of decent seasons when let's face it a lot of the other big clubs have been either in turmoil or rebuilding.
I still have faith in Poch but he needs to get his head down and work out how he's going to take the next step up and compete in these games and win some silverware otherwise I fear Daniel will soon get itchy finger when we are in the new stadium.

EVERYONE TO THE TRANSFER THREAD!!!!
It's only going to get worse! As long as you have clubs that are willing to sell their soul,their history,their reputation and have greedy little players and greedier little agents the gap is gonna get bigger'n'bigger! Football is a business now,the camera panned on to the home support they're standing applauding politely looking bored fucking stupid. Sorry but if that's the future I'm out, I for one hope to fuck Levy and the owners keep with the philosophy of the playing side at least bring in young players or bring our own through whether it happens time will tell? Empty seats at the new stadium might dictate otherwise....anyway no a good result but their doing this to everyone no just us! Top four,F.A cup and do as best we can in the CL 17/18 is no over yet COYS
In a nutshell. Spot on
That comment was aimed at Eriksen's goal..
Chelsea at home - lost
Liverpool home - won
Scum away -lost
United away- lost
City away -lost
What a fucking shit show.

There is life beyond TFC you know.
Pointless anyway telling this to someone who have never seen a sunlight in his entire life.
Seems we are throwing all our efforts in the CL this season. Been poor in the league but shit hot in the CL, last few seasons we've been good in the league but poor in Europe
The Chavs killed it first .
We could get a little nearer but still win fuck all . City have taken it to a new level .
Your last paragraph is utter shit mate, pundits think we should have had two reds, (I think Kane was lucky, Dele one was nothing as far as I'm concerned). We were brave enough, we pressed and attacked them, we didn't bottle this game like Utd. we choose to be brave and play them, we were not good enough, simple as that.
Blaming the transfer window, you're having a laugh, so you are saying we should have bought a FOUTH RB? (Tripps, KWP, Aurier), so you think we should have bought a SIXTH CB (Toby, Dier, Verts, Foyth, Sanchez), so you think we should have bought a FIFTH DM (Winks, Dembele, Wanyama (Dier)), because had we have done that yeah, we would "probably" covered off where our problems were today.
Yes, Citeh’s oil money makes managing them much easier but Pep and his coaches deserve a bit of credit for having the balls to implement their system last year - remember how we all laughed at their defensive bowlers. This season the style is bedded in and they are reaping the benefits .

I think I understand what Poch tried to do today. At kick off the gung ho in me applauded the audacity. With the benefit of hindsight it was a mistake.
Winks (as much as I love him) was taught a harsh lesson today. Moussa’s legs may have gone. Trippier was out of his depth.
None of our creative/forward players turned up.
Lloris was abject and embarrassing.
I think we as supporters should hold our nerve and not succumb to melting. The team needs our support and needs Wembley (as much as we dislike it) as full as possible and as loud as possible.
However, this shouldn’t disguise the fact that something (a few things?) are wrong with the team/squad thus season. I’m still furious with our display in the NLD - & you should be too. Add to that the pathetic displays over the last month or two and we are where we deserve to be. We have the ‘right’ as supporters who invest emotion, time and money into supporting the club to discuss these issues between us and have the occasional moan...
