Walking The Ball In

Another Ashburton Grove game another draw another scenario of going one- nil down and just like the Villa game when THEO !!! came on we seemed to go at it like hammer and tongs in the final 15-20 minutes! Yes the football is fantastic at times but everybody knows we keep trying the eye of the needle pass and its getting very frustrating! . RVP11 is never afraid to pull the trigger when near goal Fabregas too and Rosicky (where does the commentators Rosicksky come from ?!) looked like he is willing to shoot on sight as well. But I noticed a few of the boys ie Hleb cutting the ball back when in good positions although he did have a shot saved by Schwarzer. Have a crack boys !!! Nothing ventured nothing gained

I think that there were a few shots on goal against Boro on saturday. There were just too many Boro players crowding out their penalty area for any shots to get thru. I think we do need a strategy to use against the 11 men behind the ball scenario.

I guess playing at the Emirates must feel like playing away for our players at the moment. We played some good football, but were stopped by pure defensive tactics. Give it a game or four and we'll come thru!!

In all fairness, the worst culprit was Hleb, and it was fustraiting watching him hold it up when he had ables chances to shoot, i must have hurt my voice yelling "SHHOOOTT." I don't want to have bought a season ticket only to nurse sore throats on sundays. It reminds me of the days with John Jensen. As soon as Rosicky and Baptista came on, we played more like we should do.
