No one forced Grealish to go to Man City. If he's unhappy there, he can ask for a transfer.

A lot of the posts across the forum are really poisonous. We drew a difficult game away from home, the sky hasn't fallen for god's sake.
Time to take a break from here, it's no fun at the minute.

There is definitely an element of over coaching going on. I wonder how the likes of Zidane or Seedorf, Ronaldinho would have been if they grew up in this era, the very thing that made them great would probably be coached out of them

To be honest I thought he was offside when the ball was played and also play should have been stopped for a foul on Maddison. Hope Richy is having a good laugh.
It was definitely a foul - cannot believe it wasn't called.
A few have been saying the same about other threads
Same old rhetoric and nonsense
The 1vs1 dribblers can only take you so far you have to play to create a 1vs1 situation.
What happens if your opponent doubles up on this essential 1vs1 player?
We aren't isolating the opposition fullback with our wingers enough.
It’s hard to understand our fans sometimes…
We are 3/4’s of a season in to a rebuild form top to bottom,
Lost our record goal scorer.. scored more league goals than any season he was at the club…
Are set to finish higher than last season with more points….
We aren’t the finished article yet so we cannot expect them to go out and win every game.
Wham aren’t the worse team out there, two places below us and in a qf of a European competition.
Only negative last night was the timing of the subs sometimes a point is a point.

Our wide players get into plenty of 1v1 opportunities, what happens in our formation is that the full back drag the oppo's wide men into the middle of the pitch and leave our wingers 1v1 with their full backs, literally constantly happens in every attack, at the moment our wingers just don't have the capability to take their full backs on and they end up either losing the ball or pass backwards.
If they double up on our wide men then fine, that gives our midfielders a boat load of space to run free.
I agree on all points.
The probelm is,we got off to a flyer,so expection went sky high.
If we had started crap, people would be quite pleased where we are at the moment.
I am quitely confident we are going to be a decent side next season.
That’s true but I bet he didn’t think he’d end up a left wing robot who comes back inside all game and pass the ball 10 yards max.
I think he knows that mate but maybe he’s happy being a bit part players because so many do nowadays. Status seems to be a bigger thing than playing as many games as possible as a footballer nowadays.
Not only the early goal but for the first 15-20 mins we were all over them and then it slackened off but yes we go on!
That's what supposed to happen but it didn't yesterday or against Fulham until late(game was already done)or against wolves.
It can get predictable and we get easily turned over because of it when we give the ball away especially due sloppy passing.
An excellent dribbling winger won't solve these issues in isolation. You still need to create the situation for them.
The winger to winger goals we see comes from good work beforehand was evident in the goal we scored yesterday, where we created a on rushing6 Vs 4 against them.it didn't happen again if I remember correctly (need to watch again to be sure)
It did, watch how many times Werner passed back instead of initiating the full back for especially, Johnson was guilty of it a couple of times as well.
2nd half especially when we were camped up in their half, I lost count the amount of times we isolated players, a specialist in those situations would have taken a split second opportunity to go past past a defender.
We have been creating those situations all seasons, there's so much space in the wide areas of the pitch but our players just aren't natural at attacking the space.
That has to be one of the most entitled whinges I've ever read on here, and that is saying something on this site.
Well done sir, sterling effort.
Werner wasn't good yesterday apart from his work for Johnson goal but it felt like it was too late or the moment had already passed a lot of the time and we was trying to force the issue.
There was a good 5-10 minute period before Ange made his first couple of changes that we looked like we were going to create an opening
like I said I haven't seen it again but definitely felt like we was taking to long and they were getting it all men behind the ball.
I'm gonna have to put myself through it again now to see.
I agree, it will be a big help.
I also noticed yesterday the lack of bodies in the box when we did cross it. We don’t have any presence in there. I’d love to see 3 or even 4 players darting in to the box to get on the end of a cross. That way, we could mix it up more too, have someone arriving on the penalty spot for that cutback, as well as across the 6 yard line.
Yup, so we do what we've been doing this season, move them around, keep them under pressure and, when the pressure becomes too much, we score in the main.
It doesn't, and won't, work every time, but it works far more often than it doesn't against a deep block.
Last season, we were the team using a low block and we detested it. Now we have teams doing it to us because they fear what we can do if they open up, and we're still beating the majority.
The problem here is that we're seeing the filth doing it, and expecting us to do the same in less than a quarter of the time.
It's entitled bollox.
There are a couple of shit/embarrassing fans on this forum.. They spend all day everyday knocking one out to how great Woolwich are, then reach peak excitement if we don't win and jump on here to show their excitement and tell us again how great Woolwich are..if we win you of course dont see them....
john Thomas and that tool Deurtz are the worst fans I have ever seen from any club...Neither are spurs fans but some seem to fall for it.
No doubt this will get the odd little x, but that will be by the shit/embarrassing fans that I speak of/
