FFS people flapping like a shithouse door in a gale !! We win at Saints and the dippers lose to Arsenal then we beat the dippers and its a 1 point gap again. There are some proper Mary Ellen's on here - its half time in the league competition stop giving it up !!

So was I and I thought we could have no complaints about losing, just as with the Townsend goal a weak clearing header set up the chance for a great strike, that has nothing to do with luck, a better header in each case and the goal isn't scored. Despite having little more than half as much possession Leicester had more shots on target (5-4), our build-up was too laboured most of the time.I was there today and tbf we didn't deserve to lose, we were not awful, and created oportunities, but we again lacked a cutting edge and conceded too much space at times in the centre allowing them to press, and honestly their winner was a great strike.
Yh but win, lose or draw to Saints, Liverpool beat Arsenal, we don't beat Liverpool then what? Those if's you mentioned are massive if's.
Difference was LCFC were breaking into space whereas we were faced by a wall of 10 men. Usually we overcome this.So was I and I thought we could have no complaints about losing, just as with the Townsend goal a weak clearing header set up the chance for a great strike, that has nothing to do with luck, a better header in each case and the goal isn't scored.

Along with that Liverpool now have a leader in VVD who has earned his right to be the big mouth on the pitch who is respected for them. Not through his shouting but consistent performances and the odd goal. He is certainly their Vinny now. With that i think who in our rivals has had a leader to gee them up in our last title win, i would say none.We are very very good at tiring a team out, or blowing a team away. However, when the chips are down and we go behind, we go to pot, our heads go, and as Fabian was blasted for saying during the AoN doco, we forget the basics, our workrate and heads drop, and we can't handle it.
A massive dose of bollocks needed, very very few seem to have it in our squad.
Silva as well :-)Vinny and Dinho,what a difference the on pitch mentality is.
Not so much.Silva as well :-)
More significant was the ref's decision not to give a penalty on Zin. I don't think it was a pen but seen those given and then suddenly we were 3-1 up. It's those moments going our way in a football match that were more important.Vinny and Dinho,what a difference the on pitch mentality is.
I'm not sure leadership has that much to do with it. Last season was the first time the team did not go through a slump. What's happening now is what has happened every season since and including the first PL title win. We had our 'leaders' but they didn't stop us having an annual bad run.
