no bother mate I think we'll see 2 up front soon in the coming games, but like I said with games like today we cannot afford to give away too much space
You have your opinion and I have mine , and I respect yours but have to say as far as trusting oneil goes I'm starting not to I could stomach some of the gash we have played this season if we were higher up the table and more consistent but the truth is we're not we have been negative all season. yes we have won a couple of games but this year anyone can beat anyone it's not like the prem of old we are still in a relegation fight and in need of results fast and the system we play does not fill me with confidence just don't think it would not hurt to attack a bit more and get into teams faces a bit

I think that's MoN's thinking with the Graham signing, and we should start to see some of the attacking football soon in the upcoming games, not today though and I appreciate why we aren't going all out to attack Arsenal today
Thing is if we got after them is not like there rocks at the back they can be had but like we have said just to negative , I actually feel sick with it but have to respect other people opinions hey
Same thing week in week out mate starting to lose the will to live how many times have we been ****e this season
The way I see it is MON has a plan, it may be 10-30 years out of date but it's a plan. Hulk Hogan had a plan, it worked well 20 years ago and it was a good plan, Errol Christie had a plan (for those that don't know him, a very clever middleweight boxer and opponent) and I had a plan. The plan was to make it work when the time was right and we all did in our era. I see now a man I admire so much in MON maybe trying to bridge a gap of brilliance before as a manager to maybe reputation now and a man having lost the eye for a modern day premier league club. Do hope I am wrong, time is telling..
He was out of the game for a while I'm just not sure we're he is going to take us , I would love him to do well but in order to do well you need a plan b and ability to judge a game on merit and change the system accordingly and I'm not so sure he has . I do have a plan b thou mate its called a bottle of scotch , ice and A little mixer
Two major issues: Despite have some excellent dead-ball specialists, not one of them put in a decent cross, despite lots of chances. That's not MONs fault. If our C.midfield was better we would have got something from the game. Not only are Larsson and Colback **** going forward & supporting Sess/AJ, they were so badly exposed by Arsenal breaking forward it was embarrassing, esp when N'Diaye went off. This is MONs fault - he should have rectified this in the Jan window as it remains the weakest part of our team, esp. when he opts for the same tactics week in week out. Tactics which require a very strong and quick moving c.midfield. This is starting to get very, very tedious to watch. And I'm not paying for a ticket.
We don't play 4-4-2 away from home, so that chalks off 18 attacking games. We don't play 4-4-2 at home against the big clubs of the league, so that chalks off another 6-7 games. Thats leaves us with a grand total of about 11-12 games per season that we may see 4-4-2. Boring and quite simply not good enough entertainment. MON's pedigree is great and he looked like the only option to me when Bruce was coming to the end of his days but I'm not overly impressed thus far. Lets hope things get better.
