He isn't "always with the hate" but is prepared to say what needs to be said. Save that kind of reaction for the cobblers that blakey posts.
And that post just qualified you for your last line.
Totally unnecessary
Are you mad?
You really are quite nasty when let out of your cage for the night. I guess this is your way of letting off steam when you have watched us been played off the park for the umpteenth time.
Me? I just prefer to talk about the game.
Thanks for the heads up.
Can't see many positives from last night, we weren't never as bad as that cunt Jenas made out all game but we did surrender the first 70 minutes against a side that we are far better than IMO , will we ever control a game again?
We should scream and shout and back them until the very end.
The realist in me says we should probably bow out of the CL and focus on the league and possibly the FA cup.
But fuck that, TO GLORY
But it's all so aggressive and I'm sorry but I beg to differ. I think deep down, psychologically, you need approvakwhich is why you always continue these debates long after their sell by date and get frustrated at anyone who doesn't agree. I agree that you can and should say what you want but surely most of us long time lurkers and posters 'know' each other and yet you often speak to us like we are your mortal enemy rather than a member of the same community as you and all of the passion that we all have should be directed towards our club rather than come out negatively towards other members of this fab community (that between you and I was a saviour for me during the darkest and most shameful period of my life and reading comments on here made me laugh and realise there was light at the other end of the tunnel). Its a shame your passion seems to get misdirected and come out as vitriol and hatred and aggression towards others who are part of this family. Take care sammy
NO. Nononono.
Our biggest issue is that we are not able to control midfield if our lives depended on it.
Yesterday Kane would have been very very comfortably marked out of the game. We could not move the ball through their midfield block quickly, as we did not have a player to dribble/run/pass the ball past one or two of their midfielders - even Ndombele only rarely offered it at the end of the game.
And as a result of that whenever ball reached our attacking players, they were marked by 2-4 Leipzig defenders. Kane would not dribble through whole defense on his own, don't create such an illusion.
We desperately needed someone like Dembele or even fit Wanyama or ... well fit Ndombele (which we not see this season, I have accepted that already) on the field. So we'd have someone who could hold on to the ball under pressure and break the lines. None of our CM's managed to do that (though Lo Celso was closest to it)...
Though other thing that hurt my eyes was our style of play at times. Not tactics but just approach to playing.
Penalty situation was brilliant example. When the cross came in, Davies was watching and waiting the ball to reach him. Leipzig player for a change actually MOVED TOWARDS the ball to put him in better position. And Davies was totally caught off guard, panicked and conceded stupid penalty.
Thought such scenario repeated quite often all around the pitch as well. We were static and waiting for the ball to reach us, while Leipzig players reacted quicker and with more aggressiveness and actually won the ball.
Worrying.

People are still sat around at games questioning the atmosphere, the atmosphere is dead because the football is. No amount of singing would make the team break from the usual first 75 mins of doing fuck all. It's what he's asking them to do.
It's fucking bizarre.
We've had Jose practically on his knees begging for a striker all through January.
We've even had some of the most extrene Levy brown nosers saying that failing to bring in a quality striker would be unforgivable.
And here we are. Trying to botch our way through the rest of the season with square pegs in round holes and STILL it seems he's above criticism.
Stockholm Syndrome prevails.
Not the best of nights, it has to be said.
We have now lost 5 at the new stadium and all 5 have been by 0-1..

So that means if you bet £100 you lose £100.
:vertna:
Not exactly the fortress we were hoping for mate:-/
Its been a very tough year watching us.
I can't stand the clickbait punditry at ESPN, seriously probably the worst group I have ever listened to. But it's well worth skipping all the studio turds and just jumping to Leboeuf, who nails it and is completely authentic, also having played under Jose in one of his best-ever periods as a manager makes his comments worth listening to.
