We do look poor occasionally but similarly we look really good occasionally as in the period leading up to our goal on SundayAppreciated the points, but we look poor. How the hell are we 3rd?
We’ve ground out two consecutive wins in games that we would have drawn or lost last season. I’ll take that as long as we turn up against top half attacking teams and compete on equal terms.Appreciated the points, but we look poor. How the hell are we 3rd?
when your sat in row Z and the ball hits your headAbsolutely.
I've always thought that there should be a 3rd category of shot -
On Target;
Off Target;
Hit the Woodwork
As it stands, the post/bar shots count as off target. Well so would a Zokora "effort" that goes straight out of the stadium. Or a Steffen Freund special
ie, for everyones peace of mind, it would be better to have it put down.He’s a bit like a very loyal but slightly unstable pet dog. Would slash your neighbour’s ankles if he thought they were a threat.
I haven't a clue what to make of us this year and it's both exciting and a little worrying. We were quite poor for most of the last 180 mins in the PL and came out with 6 points, so I'm both enthused by the ability to pick up points, and worried about the inability to play well against poor teams. Getting Tanguy deeper in the midfield should fix a lot.We do look poor occasionally but similarly we look really good occasionally as in the period leading up to our goal on Sunday
We just have to be more consistent and focused but I’m sure Jose will sort it
Tenuous link, I know, but Zokora didn’t see Berbatov put that pen away against the other scum... perhaps it was in reference to that?when your sat in row Z and the ball hits your head

Ah, Bobby was famous for his wayward shooting though, and that was what he was employed for.Actually, I did mean Zokora
Then man who missed 2 sitters in 2 seconds against the Chavs in the Final at 1-1. The 2nd effort last seen going past Pluto on its way to Alpha Centauri.
Lucky for him we ended up winning that one

But why have such a stupid strategy in the first place. Why risk having shots , crosses , free kicks and corners against us? Anything can happen like it did v toon. We do the same against the better teams as well. Surely he can’t be that arrogant to think let a PL team even it’s Brighton have ball because they won’t score? If you take out the foul before their goal they worked it really well even though we had plenty of players back. Who was marking the player in the middle on the edge of the box who played it out to lamprey ? No one. Even though we sit back and try to defend we can’t.We all know Jose is pragmatic and he would know who they have in their squad. He knows what their strengths and weaknesses are. He knew after we got a goal that he could invite pressure and they would likely not do anything with it (they weren't able to).
Why talk about what would have happened if they had different players, because surely if they did Jose would have had a different strategy.
