I don't get angry until November, general rule, makes me able to enjoy life more.
Exactly because in the second half we was under pressure and he was probably instructed to stay out wide and protect Davies. It was evidantly clear he was not given the free role in the second half.

ha of course not. it was a mis-leading post.
he worked his ass off today, was injured for a while and didn't get back to full training until after everyone did, and Bentaleb SHOULD have offered us a more defensive presence to see the game off.
Absolutely this. Didn't see the game today but have read through the thread. It seems to me that we come flying out of the traps, like we did against United last week, & then don't have the personnel to keep up the impetus or mix up our style when the opposing manager has worked it out during the game, or the lads start getting fatigued. Now whether that is Poch's shortcomings or Levy pissing around in the market, or both, I'm sure the warring will continue on here. The common denominator appears to be Levy's desire to make money & save money. Every year it's the same. I don't think the Audi cup or the MLS games helped our pre season preparations- but hey, no doubt it made the club a few quid. I wasn't worrying about the transfers situation until you see players being sold left right & centre, whilst nothing is happening in terms of incoming players after the early business sorting out the defence. It's not good enough to start the season with one recognised striker & no experienced defensive midfielder to sit ahead of the back four & protect it. we would have all liked to have everyone through the door & settled in before the season started, but that isn't how Dan works. & it is frustrating when it seems that we are handicapping the start to the season by not having the right staffing levels. 4 points from 6 would have been a great start & it wasn't as though we were battered by United. It sounds like 2 points were thrown away this afternoon.
We're all in church repenting our sins....what response do you want from this statement?
Sorry I didn't mean to come off as told you so but I am extremely frustrated a club of our stature to be left this shirt is an embarrassment we as supporters deserve better
It's Levy who hires & fires though. & if results don't pick up, it won't be Teflon Dan who gets the boot from the fans. It will be Poch that gets the boot from Teflon Dan. Rinse & repeat.
I didnt realise that until after I posted. Still a striker for striker sub would have been better, but in the end it shouldnt have ended in a draw period.
