I am so hungover and as a result have learned a hard lesson. Wait till full time before starting a thread!Fair play for taking it on the chin, sort of.

It's OK- City don't have Rodri. Easy!With a few more coming up, and with threadbare central defensive options
haha, good man.I am so hungover and as a result have learned a hard lesson. Wait till full time before starting a thread!
Pretty good going to be 6th with 12 points being such a WIP. We've had some tricky games too so far
Was the HT break quick enough for you.Sorry to say but it’s alarming how poorly coached we look:
Defensively we are all over the place. Runners in behind over and over again.
The press is muddled and ineffective
Players don’t seem to know what they are doing when they get the ball, too many touches too few options.
The new manager has had a whole preseason with them and we look shambolic.
He has some serious work to do and quickly.
We have lots of new players and a young manager there will be bad days as well as good. We have real characters and leaders in this team and I think our progress will be steady and occasionally bumpy.
what does your friend say nowMy Spurs friend said we are the worst team they've played so far
This old woman wasn’t fretting at half time.Haha, OP
Fretting like an old woman like all the other sad acts on the matchday thread.
Maybe next time, show a little belief in our players and our club. They won't win every game, but they've done easily enough to earn our trust that they have that sort of performance in them
He said we were given the game. I think thats entirely unfair as Fab changed things and we were great.what does your friend say now
You were totally. And I’m convinced that you are just as happy as me about it!I'm always in the optimist camp with the albion, especially 7 games in, but the inability to do something different with the defence after that Chelsea game is worrying.
Not saying FH needs to be gone but he does need to learn, change and get the team reacting to the opposition better.
Anyway, second half to be VERY happily proved wrong.
In fairness, I doubt you'd have posted that if we'd been 10th at Christmas, but right now it felt seminal because there is a big difference between P6 2-2-2 and 3-2-1.I think it probably was knee jerky
in my defence I am very hungover!
Thread has absolutely nothing to do with belief in the players or the club. It a about coaching and despite todays win (absolutely delighted to be proved wrong today)Haha, OP

I think the thing that most alarmed me, other than the hangover, was how many times they seemed to get in behind. Coming after Chelsea it just seemed we had leaned nothing defensively and we looked shell shocked. Half time we were two down and they had one ruled out for offside . I honestly thought we could go on to concede 4/5 again. Lesson learned!In fairness, I doubt you'd have posted that if we'd been 10th at Christmas, but right now it felt seminal because there is a big difference between P6 2-2-2 and 3-2-1.
Personally I felt at half time that this represented a massive adjustment in expectations and that FH would need a year bedding into his new role. By the end of it, well we're going on another European tour aren't we?
I thought that at the end. Then I looked at the next few fixtures!!In fairness, I doubt you'd have posted that if we'd been 10th at Christmas, but right now it felt seminal because there is a big difference between P6 2-2-2 and 3-2-1.

I didn’t think this evening could get any betterThe happy clappers will be along soon to say every thing is under control.
Smug condescending bores like you must put off quite a lot of people from using this site.Haha, OP
