Stewart Robson on our defence

[Özim]

Things started off OK defensively, but I always felt a few games at the start of the season meant little, right now our defence still looks a complete mess. Let's see where we are are the end of the season.

We've got the best defensive record in the league. Only Chelsea have conceded the same number, everyone else has conceded more. For once, that doesn't seem to be the problem, now we're not scoring enough.
Who'd a thunk it after selling the best striker in the league?

[Marc Overmars]

Generally we've defended better, the other night was the first time we've really been run ragged. Most of the goals we've conceded have been down to weak individual errors and set pieces, things that can be worked on.

My only concern right now is how blunt we look up top. You can usually rely on us to create 10 chances a game but at the moment we're struggling to even create one.

TBH set pieces have been our achilles heel for some time now and I would hope that we would have worked on them enough already but I think overall we look better defensively. Santos though is a fecking liability and I dont how much he smiles his arse off during a game, giving the impression that life couldnt be better, Gibbs needs to get back sharpish. Even TV5 out there would be better.

Blunt up top, recently yes, Gervinho cannot lead the line, he can play in the fluid three but not a the point man, the guy is a fecking woss, Pods needs to be there when Giro isnt

Tbf, I care not if Santos is playing, so long as Ramsby is dropped.

I'd rather Ramsey was left back.

Or left out.
