It added to my "footballers are useless" thesis.
He's no Zidane but he's a decent enough player. He's 6 yards out (if that?) and he can't turn and shoot and hit the target? Really?
YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLER!
I will literally never understand how footballers who practice for hours every day can't reliably do basic things like this. Twats.
Couldn't agree more on that last sentence. In fact this week I cancelled my red membership for next season. I haven't been to a live game for over a year now and don't really intend to go again unless I feel the club's priorities start to shift back towards competing for trophies and representing the fans.
There are plenty of morans like that in the team. Look at Campbell for example.. how difficult is it for him to use his right foot? Every freaking time, he will go on his left foot. Look at Walcott.. this guy collects a paycheck of 100K+ a week and he cannot even control a ball. His ball control is as bad as I have seen anyone have bar Mertesacker. I play park football with huge unfit gits and they have better ball control than him.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
It's not just in our team, throughout the game I see players who can't take a set piece or hit the target from 10 yards. It's pathetic.
Jesus I didn't fully realise just how fat Koeman is these days.
Southampton at home was pretty bad but Swansea was the angriest I felt. Two winnable games blown.
Outside of a football ground I'm more of a fist pump than a vocal celebrator
Exceptions to that was Ramsey's goal against Hull in the FA cup final
And the Arshavin goal against Barcelona
There are so many to choose from, it's difficult to pick out one moment but the loss to Man ure was criminal and the wheels well and truly came off after that. The way we just bent over and handed three points to them was sickening, made worse by the fact that only 4 players came to applaud the fans afterwards.
Swansea at home is a close second followed by:
Watford
Olympiacos
Chelsea
Saints away
I want to include Everton away as I can see us getting beaten and played off the park.
It's worrying isn't it, usually even in terrible runs of form you see an end in sight, but I literally couldn't tell you where the next win will come from.
Usually poor form in the past has been marked by having loads of the ball playing in front of the opposistion and creating next to nothing in chances (game that springs to mind is December 30th 2006 where we lost 1-0 to Sheffield United, and they had jagielka in goal for the last thirty minutes but literally had no saves to make).
Now we are creating chances and just failing to convert, either through snatching at them or failing to pull the trigger full stop.
The amount of chances we created against Barcelona in both legs was silly
