Positives To Take From Today

[Bill Walker]

Sterling doesn’t deserve a lot of the flack he gets but I do agree that maybe we’re at the end of the road with him.

Jesus hasn’t improved at all since he came to the club and isn’t anywhere near good enough either.

Raz I'm afraid just isn't good enough for us. I like him but he just doesn't cut it.
Steffen should never attempt to do an Eddie ever again. How a pro goalie can allow that to happen is beyond me.

We bloodied their nose in the 2nd half.

But we'd had our face smashed in in the 1st.

Free pints at half time. That’s it. Oh and the train journey was decent

You’re gonna feel a little bit silly for posting that when we’ve won the league Sam.

I'll turn up here and quote this post and say what a massive idiot I was! I hope we win something, unfortunately it is my professional aberration that I am into statistics, risk assessment and patterns and I don't like this one at all.

We limited them to very few chances. Pretty solid at the back actually. Zin a bit ropey, but not unexpected.

1.Exited the League Cup with a whimper.
2. The whole season we've been playing with BIelsa-like squad size and it caught up with us.
3. Strengthened a squad in the summer with a player that has been almost a complete failure so far. I like Jack, but I cannot find any other assessment about his contribution to our results so far.
4. Lost a player, first to injury and than sold him in the winter without replacing him. Like him or not, he actually contributed when playing.
5. Our direct opponents to all the trophies did exactly opposite.
6. Gave up a massive lead in the league after that mini winter-break, probably owing to all above said, because of injuries, overplaying, more injuries, etc..
7. The only other player who broke into the squad has been injured like forever.
8. It's clear now we have a manager who is happy to lose a game, who is happy to fuck it up just for fun of it, but what if the whole season ends up a failure, what will be our excuse be? 'Remember when we were shit and almost went out of existence'.

So what positives we are talking about here?

you’re gonna get called a miserable fucker but i wholeheartedly agree. whatever we win this season will be a testament to the players we do have and pep rather than the management of the squad from the board. i genuinely don’t see it as anything other than neglect. we knew we had to replace aguero, didn’t. we’ve also lost mendy and torres. that’s 3 players short, it’s not good enough. we also really needed a holding midfielder because ferna is an old man.

Completely agree re-Raz, and I'm not slating him but in a possession based team he is often tge point of breakdown. He'd kill it in a counteracting team.

We now play West Ham 3 days before the Europa League Final. Good news for us if they get there

We are not dipper fc

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

Both last Sunday, and to a lesser extent yesterday in the second half, we cut through their defence with ease, just need to take our chances.
