Match Reaction vs Aston Villa (away).

[Letters]

I agree we're not killing off games like we should but as WMUG points out, we are winning those games.
How many times have we dropped points far too often by conceding late goals in close games, this year it's been rare.
We might not be killing games off but we are holding out well under pressure and getting the 3 points in games where it's tight.

[Power n Glory]

Yep, just saying that on the other thread. It’s jittery to watch because you've seen us blow a lead countless times before and it’s like we're all waiting for the wheels to fall off for us this season. They're all waiting for it.

Oh yeah, it's not fun to watch. But I am getting more confident in their ability to see it through.
You're not going to cruise through every game and being able to see out the 1-0 is very important in a title run-in.
We have sailed close to the wind at times though and a bit more firepower up front would make more games comfortable.

[LDG]

We're going all out for the biggest collapse ™ we've seen yet.

[GP]

Nice to see Bendtner score. He deserved it for all the stick he's got.

[GP]

Sorry, I meant to put that in the Hull thread.

[Xhaka Can’t]

We've all got in some spats here, but this one has gone on long enough.

OK, OK. We're all WUMs. If we could get back to the point of the thread...

[Marc Overmars]

We wouldn't be challenging for the title without our defence, in fact we probably wouldn't have finished 4th last season without it. I keep saying it but just think about how poor we used to be at the back. For all the brilliance of RVC, Cesc and others, it was never enough thanks to how rubbish we were at defending and dealing with pressure.

Now the jury is still out on this team but just be careful what you wish for.

We’ve had brilliant moments marred by poor defending. That Champions League game against Liverpool always sticks to mind. Theo storms through Liverpool to set up Ade and before I’d even finished celebrating and we conceded….or was it a penalty? We were a joke when it came to defending.
