OK, can we calm down now?

Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but can we please remember that it's only SEPTEMBER, no-one has ever won the league in that month

I would like to take advantage of your optimism for financial gain. Kind sir, would you like a wager on us winning the league? Not happening this season.

Watford result was worse.

We knew what we were getting with Liverpool. We were never clear favourites to win and before the game it could have gone either way. Top 6 will be taking points off each other. We'll beat other top 6 teams, we'll lose to some.

But losing to the likes of Watford and others outside the top 6 is what will separate us from those above.

We have a pretty comfortable fixture list from now until the City home game. Anything other than maximum points is disappointing.

Having said that I thought Watford were unlucky today and the José anti football show rolls on
That 3nd half when Watford came back into it was disgraceful with a series of niggling fouls and handballs orchestrated by José preventing the game flowing and Mike Dean ultra lenient
So no disgrace to lose to Watford

Get Sissoko back

I'm deflated but I'm not apoplectic.

What I would really like is if Poch ditched this 4-4-2 mallarkey with Kane and Moura up top, and a mish-mash midfield.

3 at the back
Moura as a winger which is what he is and Kane up top as a lone striker

Had an awful day in Nottingham listening to numerous Dippers giving it large

I fucking hate them with a passion
Nothing in it with Chav fans imv

Our next 4 league games

Brighton (A)
Huddersfield (A)
Cardiff (H)
West Ham (A)

You couldn’t really handpick 4 better games to get out form back on track. If we win them then suddenly we’ve won 7 of the first 9 games which is a good return.

 

[Bazali]

I like you Baz. You see football in different dimensions to the rest of us.

It’s always a game of three halves with José!!

That’s my excuse anyway

For me yesterday’s result was far worse than the Watford result.
We had the perfect chance to stop the Scouse Noshfest and set down our own marker. Liverpool were really bad and we could have and should have won that comfortably.
Had we beaten Watford everyone would have been saying that it’s no big deal as it’s watford.
Beat Liverpool and it would have been a different story.

That aside, the performance against Liverpool was pathetic, there were no good spells and hardly any chances created, against Watford we were ok in spells and did create chances.

I really am still baffled as to why we played so badly yesterday. I really can’t think of a performance as bad as that since the boy Timmy or AVB was in charge.
Basic football skills and lack of effort cost us that game and we were lucky we didn’t get embarrassed even further with a 6-0 scoreline.

So which is it. Liverpool were really bad, or Spurs was lucky to not get beaten 6-0?

I think we had 8 points after 5 games last year & that didn’t turn out too badly. We are way off our best right now. I’m not losing patience just yet, but the manner of defeat yesterday leaves a very nasty early season taste.

 

[sammyspurs]

Last year when I turned on Dele and Wembley and the crap results against Swansea and Burnley, people were saying "its only September"...

I dont expect the title. But not one person here will not look back to yesterday and Burnley if we lost the PL, or top 4 by a point. I thought we'd learned our lesson with starting slow and pissing points away.

Sept 2017

Not many were that concerned by our slow start, and most were calling me a melt. As it happens, this season we have one more point after 5 games than last year.

So why are more people so outraged this season?

These dropped points may cost us, but Im more annoyed we gave a shit Liverpool team a free pass to bask in some false glory. We were shit, but they were world class for beating us? Doesnt make sense.

Lots of theories about trouble in the squad etc, Im not getting into that. We'll improve soon enough and go on our annual 18 game unbeaten run soon, but its a shame we are playing poorly, more than dropping points.
Id be happier if we lost yesterday, while showing our quality.

Eh??? Liverpool were bad and that's why they only beat us 2-1, that's why we were lucky it wasn't 6.

Win big at Inter and all is forgotten.

Oh well... is THAT all we have to do...? Easy!!
I'll get the lemon squeezed!!
