Some of those pre half time threads yesterday were a treat.fee fi fo fum
Well we’ve got use to the usual post-match bedwetting threads but that some people are having to change the sheets before we’ve even barely got through 45 mins of football now is even more hilarious.
That’s not ‘entitlement’ or even just normal post match blues, it’s bladder dysfunction (and just makes them look like incontinent twats when we win
This was another
[Albion] - We look such a poorly coached team
...and yet we won the games, don't see how that works.
Yup. Maybe from the start at Toon…?
It's interesting to me that so far this season we have beaten Man United and Spurs, drawn away at Arsenal and dropped points to a vastly improved Forest and a stubborn Ipswich, but the barometer for Hurzeler is the one game we lost?
True, but how many times can you allow opponents a clear run on goal before your luck runs out? And it adds to a general sense of chaos around the team.
Or both
It’s not shabby and not going dreadfully, certainly more than a bit hairy and my nails are down to the quick.
Interesting combination of the two things. McKenzie's analysis talks of the tactical approach forcing Spurs into more 1 v 1 duels. In the first half, as evidenced by our failure to get out often, we weren't winning these duels. In the second half, after the riling up from the old heads, we won more. In microcososm Rutter lost out to two players for their first goal, but in the second half was very strong and hard to dispossess, holding off two defenders for his goal and for his assist for the third. His strength was able to be utilised in key parts of the field because Hurzeler kept faith in the high press.

But how many times did those players run clear on goal because of cheap turnovers in midfield or individual errors? I'd hazard a guess to say most of them. The problem isn't the high line, it's being poor in possession in tight areas. That isn't a tactical issue, it's an execution one.
Think you’ll find Croftie’s in place already !I’m a dinosaur granted, but I would prefer Fabian to have an old head with him in the dugout, someone with experience at the top level EPL/Championship.
Someone who might have suggested in game changes at Stamford Bridge as an example.
Probably a bit old now but something like what Joe Jordan did for Redknapp at Pompey and Spurs.
Mark McGhee perhaps?
Or maybe James Milner as Player Coach might be the answer?
That said 6th, with four perceived home points dropped, it could be a lot worse, certainly won’t be down amongst the dead men, but I’m worried we might not have the M23 Derby this time next year.
