Much better attacking intent, played forwards much quicker, runners off the ball. Goal on halftime changed the momentum otherwise that was 3 or 4 for us. We need to defend properly in moments, by this stick our foot through the ball. It's the biggest contributor of goals conceded, either a poor clearance to non clearance resulting in goals
I’m finding myself consistently being critical of Dav.
In and out the side sure there’s an argument for that but there’s also an argument for him not being in the side
Jan is far better and what game time Dav does get he hardly uses to argue his case .
He just doesn’t seem like he’s going to be good enough
I largely agree.
This'll be a teething first third or so of the season. I think we'll actually be flying by the time Christmas rolls around.
The Newcastle game, in addition to being generally awful, was also a nasty wake up call to those of us wanting that ambition to win the league that we're nowhere close right now until the squad overhaul has time to gel.
Wind up the ole swinger chances are one flies in the top corner or lampard scuffs along the floor and crawls in
New position. Not the right day for slagging him off. Remind me why were paying Pochettino 8 mil a year?
I think we are a low 80s team, Liverpool mid 80s, and City 90+.
Woolwich are likely low 70s with United, Chelsea, Leicester, Wolves and Everton all fighting to get to 65.
West Ham are just absolutely bang on for 10th, and after that who cares weeeeeeeeee.
I don't think he reads this forum.
Especially when the keeper's use of the ball with his feet puts us under pressure to begin with (at times).
I don't get why anyone is surprised VAR is so shit. I called it in the World Cup, either you use it to officiate every decision from the 1st minute to the last or don't bother with it at all. Making selective decisions about what gets looked at and what doesn't is a subjective shit shower that's open to criticism and abuse.
Oh, and for those wanting more Jan and Lucas, all the players are going to be getting some minutes with the following fixture list after the international break...
- 14/09 - Crystal Palace (H)
- 18/09 - Olympiakos (A)
- 21/09 - Leicester City (A)
- 24/09 - Colchester (A)
- 28/09 - Southampton (H)
- 01/10 - Bayern (H)
- 05/10 - Brighton (A)
That's a heck of a lot of football in a three week period. Fortunately, the fixtures themselves are quite fair. No Liverpool away just yet.
International break now, the team can take stock, fingers crossed we can really put a marker down once they get back.

We had no Ndombele and Sanchez not playing in position. Lo Celso isn't yet match fit. KWP and Foyth injured and bugger knows what's gone wrong with Aurier. And yet despite those things and all this transfer crap rattling Poch and the team, we just got a draw on their turf. We could have been a couple more goals up in the first half.
It was tough and entertaining and their smiles at the end suggested mutual respect for what just took place; a ropey thriller. I can't lay into the lads too hard because I think they showed more guts and creative spurts than the previous games.

We stopped them from doing what they've been aching to do which is proclaim that North London is there's again and that it's red blah blah blah. All in all I am happy with 2 points away at the Etihad and the Emirates, we can't ignore that it isn't a great return under all of the circumstances.
4 games in, only one genuinely bad result face value which can't be said for most teams apart from Liverpool. All is good and it's got under gooner skins. We let them back in but all of us would have taken a draw 4 hours ago so let's not lose sight of how it's more one point gained for us and two points lost for them. The international break has come at a decent time for us to refresh and get focused on the drive before Christmas.

United and Chelsea have rolled out their best 11 and if you can tell the difference between them and 9th then congrats.
We had no Ndombele, Lo Celso as a sub, Dele as a sub, Eriksen situation up in the air, no Verts until today, both first choice RBs out. Sorry but if you don’t see a clear difference I’m not sure what to say.
