I understand more about you, that's for sureThey have, thats how Liverpool beat us a couple times at Anfield. I'm sorry if you cant understand mate
Aye, but I didn't want to go too far back into the past.
The bench back in 2010 was also a lot lot weaker than what we had today.
The way to beat us is to keep your full backs wide and keep spraying balls left to right and back again to wear out the press. With so many Spurs players close to the ball we are vulnerable to a long ball in behind or a flick on to a pacy winger / striker.
But I will predict the following:
We will ship at least one goal, possibly two this season from fuck ups in the back. It is going to happen.
No we haven't?We have been lucky so far
When I saw the lads shift and move here.....
I thought, "we are going to roll this."
Look at the shape and pressure we are putting on them. He's got no options but to air it out forward under duress, and then we pick it up and recycle it back in. Fantastic.
A great game to watch.

We have been lucky so far but that will not last all season. I just hope when it comes that it doesn't cost us points. There is a time to pass out of the back and there is a time to just hoof it, and it feels like the team has been told to try and play it out at your feet despite the risk. Perhaps this gives some advantage by bringing the opposition out of position, but jesus it gives me heart burn at times.
In any case, onward and upward.

He played Rooney in Siggurdsson role, Klassen is also better at the centre role.To think in 2014, I hoped Frank De Boer was in charge and we'd sign Morgan Schneiderlin. His career has gone to pot since leaving Southampton. How did Siggy perform yesterday? Seemed pretty anonymous on the MOTD highlights, looked like Eriksen schooled him in that creative midfield role. :gylfi::eriksenlol:
See post 2 aboveAny extended highlights ? Other than match of the day? Thanks in advance

Trouble is he found Rooney with that ball, who laid it off and it ended up with Martina who did Davies and found Ramirez at the near postWhen I saw the lads shift and move here.....

You planning to miss any more matches?Missed the match and we throttle Everton. Just my luck. ochsulk:
Is it just me who doesn't think Sissoko had that good a game?
One of our weaker players I thought - strayed offside too much, lots of misplaced passes. Got into good spaces but never made much use of them. Missed a couple of good chances.
Not shit mind (no one was), just no more than a meh 5/10.
