I just want a good win. I want Brentford or Fulham to come here in a European six-pointer and to beat them, but we don't. Under Hughton I wanted to face up to Cardiff or Bournemouth in a relegation six-pointer and beat them, but we didn't. I want top of the table Arsenal, Liverpool or City to...
Yes. We don't have good wins. Fulham did when they beat us. Everton did when they beat Arsenal. Bournemouth did today when they beat Fulham. I can't think of a really 'good win' we've had in five seasons, and no one has pointed one out yet
No, think it through. All previous games like this one, two teams in good form, battling for league position, we don't win them. Over and over again. Beating Chelsea and Liverpool this season wasn't hard, they're struggling relative to what they usually do But a form team like Brentford or...
Fall squarely under the big team having a mini crisis category - or even just that we raised our game for obvious and exceptional reasons. Admittedly they weren't in bad form before playing us, but hindsight shows they were definitely shite.
Yet another important game we fail to win. Really struggling to think of a single Premier League victory that can be classed as a 'good win'. Sure, we can beat a load of midtable cloggers, we can beat relegation fodder, we can beat big 6 teams when they're off form and having a mini crisis. But...
Saha was a decent player and scored quite a few goals for them, can't say he 'flopped' at United, just had huge injury problems throughout his time there
Its a commitment to the club, I can say I'm a member thats important to me. I might get to one game a season in person, not sure that makes me a glory hunter though, especially as my one Amex game this season was a rather drab 0-0 with Forest :p
But whatever, everyone's different. It does cost...
What I'm more concerned about is the succession planning for when these players move on. When we lost Bissouma we had Caicedo who had been playing regular first team football for a year and a half. Mitoma had regular minutes under his belt when he became the full time replacement for Trossard...
Yes, deliberately handling the ball, but not committing a deliberate handball.
I think the semantics should be important.
Obviously as far as refs go they're not. They couldn't wait to give three reds to Fulham when i don't think any of them should have been given.
Would love to have seen Knockaert being managed by RDZ. Someone to really unlock his talent at PL level.
I think he'd be around the squad in this scenario.
I'm a little confused about the red card for handball law. I thought it was for deliberate handball denying a goal scoring opportunity. But in this case I can't see how it is a deliberate handball, Sanchez thinks it's in the area, ergo not deliberate handball.
I'd also argue that Willians...
So many parallels to Potter, came in, changed the style, played some good stuff and got plaudits. Second season suffered a long winless run, struggled to score goals, and were close to the relegation zone - and this is where the similarities end, we stuck with Potter, stayed up and reaped the...
