Match Reaction v Scrotes

[Ollie the Optimist]

would you rather the last two games had been score draws or nil nils?


imo nil nils are better for us because the defence has been solid, even if we scored and drew 1-1 the press would hammer our defence and our attackers so at least its just one area this time. the defence has come on so much since last season, we played stoke in april and it was a nervous afair, almost 5 games later and suddenly we completely nulified their threat, they try and bully us yet today we werent bullied

We really need to get something at Anfied or we're gonna be well off the pace already. I think we can - theyre not that good despite nearly beating the mancs today

Neither are we tbf

Would rather the games were watchable. Really, that's all I ask.

You're a bit flippant about that. They're all under contract arent they and someone's gotta be wiling to take over their salaries. Bearing in mind none of them are very good its not that straightforward

Bender off to AC id assume, Asrshavin off to Russia, Park who knows Milltary service would be my guess. Squid back to france.[/QUOTE]

Would rather we got 2 1-0's tbh.

[jelgoon]

You're right, were not. I just have a feeling he'll play Walcott and/or OXo and we'll win. IF we can stay solid at the back and not give away stupid goals i think we can get one up there.

The reason we don't sell then is because were too tight and can't be arsed to accept low fees for them.

On the other side of the coin, we've sold RVP (our main goal threat) and have no cutting edge.

With the two strikers failing to score again the pressure will grow on them and it will become more and more of a burden. It's always good for new strikers to score a goal early confidence wise as it's a real weight off their shoulders. So far they've not looked sharp at all and have appeared on the wing in midfield too much.

Right now there will be real doubts as to whether the loss of RVP is as big a problem as everyone thinks, this was the big talking point for us over the summer.

tbh being thrown in against stoke away second game is a huge ask. these strikers will score, they are too good not too esp as with each game their links with cazorla will get stronger and stronger. they look good to me, the finishing will come.

also with rvp, we drew at stoke with him last year, didnt score in our first two games with him either, and all we know how the third turned out

Amazed we are hopeful enough to get a fee, there are freebie players at best in terms of the transfer because the useless fuckers will all demand big wages regardless. Doubt this is just about the money or else it would have been cheaper to pay somebody to take them. This is probably about insanely greedy players and their shit on your shoe agents.
