Just watched the Spurs game again we just need to be a little more clinical and will be okay and a little bit of luck.
Agreed, but there seems to be a consensus on here that if we actually show some attacking intent in this division we'll lose 10-0
we could be getting spanked 5-0 every week and you"d still put a positive spin on it.
Where as in reality, when we have shown attacking intent it's been fruitful in terms of results /performances.
When has sitting 10 men behind the ball actually worked in terms of shutting a team out? I can't think of any games where we haven't ultimately conceded anyway when weve gone all out defensive??
Try me. That game v Watford was miserable . One of the worst i've seen for a while (Huddersfield away, Forest away, West Brom away in recent couple of seasons - perhaps match it). That first half against Southampton was even worse. Couldn't string a pass together.
But if you think Albion v Man U, Liverpool, the 2nd half v Spurs, Watford, Saints was "boring" (frustrating maybe that we didn't pick up more points, some argue that this is Hughton's fault etc etc, shouldn't have got into this position in the first place and all that ) - but blimey - thats quite the take.
Well I am biased but I look at every game barring the Watford one and think
Last year when we went behind I was never confident of coming back in matches - This year so far we look capable of getting back into any match if we step up our game.
And if we go ahead I feel confident of holding the lead - That was never the case last year
However its only 6 games and a lot of them have been against teams in the top half of the league and we still have some top players still to work their way into the side. Ask me again in December when we have played more of the teams where we have more realistic chances of being around same positions in the league and get a good run of games against.
I think we're lucky that Cardiff (R) and Huddersfield (R) are so poor. There's only one relegation place up for grabs this season and we should have enough to avoid it being us but we can't keep being so casual. We were casual at Southampton with no real plan or intent and we started the same against Tottenham. We'll roll over at City without really trying to challenge them and then we have to play properly against West Ham because that's a real golden egg of a game.
I like Chris Hughton, he's a classy man with the character we needed to transform us from crap Championship relegation candidates to a stable Premier League club. But does he have the ability/confidence to improve us further? Does he have the confidence in the team to raise the level of expectation and get us challenging Everton for best of the rest club?
Never said Man U was boring.
Liverpool wasn't exciting sorry.
I concede there have been better moments in other games.
And still probably the most boring team in the league. Tough crowd.
Who's your top 3 most tedious team to watch in the league this year then out of interest?
