That was a good build up. We're working the ball. I think Elneny makes a major difference.Quote:

The play in our own half is pointless. The possession thing is a myth. We should go forward all the time, even if we lose the ball half the time. That's where the energy of a performance comes from and that's how you keep the opposition stretched.Quote:

Damn it! Some fantastic play. Shame it was offside.
what the fuck was that?
Replay shows it level. Linesman fucked up. It shouldn't be offside unless the linesman can see it's offside. Benefit of the doubt instead of guesswork. Shit decision.
Watford getting into the game now.
poor from giroud
I don't think you understand why Ramsey is such a failure in the middle if you're saying that. Trying to rush forward to quickly leads to a disjointed midfield and we struggle to create quality chances. If we keep ticking like this we'll beat them.Quote:

Don't book for a first foul.

Sort your feet out Bif.
Comment on Redcafe:
Debuchy not even on the bench
:haha:
Merts saving us from Gabriel. We need our defence to be solid today.
we've been shit going forward since those first 5 minutes.
Well you just saw the two passages of play where we were dangerous. Forwards, forwards, forwards. Very simple. Ramsey is a sideways and backwards merchant when he's in the middle. The fact he abandons the role is not the same thing. Possession is pointless if it doesn't progress the ball towards the opponents goal or unless you are shutting down a game that's already won.Quote:

Appalling cross from Chambers. Time. Space. To the keeper. Totally unacceptable.
idiot gabriel
Gabriel doing a Fernandinho. The only difference being, now it's a FK.
It takes build up play. You can't always find the forward pass or you lose it and get hit on the break. When we have no cohesion in the middle i worry but we look comfortable today.Quote:

don't kick the fucking ball out you twats!
No, we get caught on the break when we spent 2 minutes fucking around, let the opposition get comfortable and then try to force it. It's the slow, purposeless play that is dangerous in the end.Quote:

Sanchez with a shit cross. Tries too hard.
Poor by Alexis, but he's the man making everything happen so far.
Chambers manages to find Pants whilst in a lot of space.
Do they have Pokemon in goal?
Sanchez seems like the only dangerous one right now for us.
I'd have lost my patience with Chambers by now. Fucking awful. This should be 3-0 already.
We look more threatening today in 20 mins than we have in a long time. Just need to find the final ball and get the shots off.Quote:
