We even try and take second touches from keeper rebounds. Roma don't even have to change their shape. They just sit in and wait for us to overplay and lose it. We are so so easy to play against.
We have scored twice in our last 5 full games. Anyone expecting a goalfest against good opposition was deluded. I will be surprised if we actually win on the night.
Tired of this constant overplaying now. Always one touch too many. Our style demands multiple touches all over the field and that includes the opposition penalty area.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. The mindset is very similar.
Its high risk and demands absolute accuracy, which isn't always possible. The two methods allow no ' warming up ' period. Its all guns blazing from the word go. Crawley and Duckett go early, the middle order is exposed and...
....and we have never won a domestic trophy. We have the best squad in our history. Now is our chance. Beat Wolves...we had a ticket for the semis. We had no chance of winning the Europa League or even progressing deep into it. There are battle hardened teams in the EL. We are rookies. Earn your...
I am not convinced we will keep a clean sheet so on the basis that Roma will score at least once...who will get the 6-7 goals we need? ( One scored in the last 4 games )
Apparently not.
European football has been a sideshow..a distraction. Its put too much pressure on our squad. Affected our PL form and led to many more injuries than we would have had. It's taught us a lesson. We were out of our depth last night. We had a much better chance of success in the FAC...
Nothing to do with loyalty. I travel 150 miles to home games and most of the away games. Same as my three passengers. If we fancy missing out on standing at the Park and Ride for 45 mins knowing you have a 3.00am finish with work the same day that's our choice. When you've done 59 years and over...
I think there is a level of frustration building up. All we hear in the media is that we have a brilliant manager destined for the very top who is ripping up trees at our club and its only a matter of time before he moves on.
I don't know about the rest of you but I'm bored with this speculation...
Not half bad ..I agree....but we have reached the stage now...in our 7th PL season...when we should be competitive in nearly every game. There will always be the occasional pounding, it happens but this season there have been too many. Teams know we are vulnerable early. We try and settle into...
