What did i just watch we're two up in what was up until the last few seconds a training match........

We insist on trying to play out form the back when we are utter shit at it most of the time, even Dicko sounds fed up of it.

Our worst trait has to be putting our own players in difficult positions defensively when there are far easier options, and it is not just Xhaka who does this :rubchin:

Goals change games we were struggling Auba great take and turn,second a bonus.

Playing out from the back Gk to recieving player other than full back has cost or almost cost every team doing it,

2-0 away from home next goal either side,game on or over,

2-0 up

Can’t complain with that.

Problem I have is that looking at the bench we have a very thin squad now that Lacazette is injured.

It’s 2 games a week from now on, could be tricky.
Personally I would only play Aubamayang in the league games

The douzi backs up his own 8)
Reminds me of the good old days



That's why I viewed it the same way - I miss the old days when NO-ONE fcuked with our players cos if you took on one of them, the rest would come flying in to back him up. Maybe it makes me a sad b.astard, but despite all the trophies we have won in the last 30 years, the day in old shatford when we marked horse face's card is one of my all time highlights 8) It's not like I condone fighting on the pitch, but that day we had an example of team spirit befitting of a club that used to be built on that type of unity and togetherness

The team reflected the supporters back then.
Maybe the current team also reflects the current supporters.

The only danger to us fucking this up is when we go into complete self harm mode trying to play out from the back.

Brain dead that we start fighting at 2 up.



Understand why you are saying that, but pepe is new to the league and maybe needs a bit of back up when a thug like their left full tries to bully him
That Watford fucker should actually be off. Stonewall yellow when he hacked down AMN early on but shit ref Taylor let him off :roll:

Souness trying to complain the douzi was lucky not to see red for elbow in that incident ? It looked to me that he went to push a player away and his arm caught their guy in the follow through :?

Good defending by Ceballos - he is 'slight' in build but stronger than he looks...


Why the fuck do we keep on playing out from the back when they've got 3 players on the defender receiving the ball !????? :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Fucking Madness
