I thought Ramsey at RB was a mistake. He should have taken Ramsey off and put Rosicky on the right. Walker was tiring in the 2nd half and we could have got a lot of joy down the right. We kind of ran out of ideas at the end. But it was our terrible defending that cost us again. Anyway, enjoy your victory.
It's a bit worrying that a team fighting for 4th place doesn't even know how to play the offside trap properly
Don't be harsh on your team, as your players tried their best. ok granted your defending was shambolic and you played pretty passing in areas which didn't hurt us, but the effort was there. Thats 12 games unbeaten for us and we have the momentum, 7 points clear, but some tough games coming up so nothing is decided yet
Giroud had some lovely touches, but wasn't dangerous enough. His little lay off for podolski was class, but podolski's touch was heavy. I've noticed he gets constantly fouled and refs ignroe it, because of his size he has his arms held all the time by opposition players.
We didn't get **** from this twat period. Spurs got all the 50-50 calls and we got nothing when we were fouled
When you defend like ******s, you tend not win many games of football. Time and time again, basic defensive errors have cost us, and there is no sign of them being cut out with the current manager in charge. Also, upfront when we needed that piece of individual magic, but we did not get it. Players like Giroud and Walcott are good, but they are just good enough to produce special moments, unlike a certain Dutchmen that kept producing those moments last season.
yeah we are world class at passing , its just the scoring and defending that dont work . Once we get that right ..........................
Oh yeah go on Oxo blame the ref again. ****s sake you're like a broken record. Take the defeat on the chin.
How i wish Barca had sold us Villa in the winter, we need someone to give us that edge we seem to be missing at times. And at the back verm needs to be dropped. Kosc is the answer. (well...part of the answer, a first step at least!)
funny as our fans are slating the ref. which tells you everything as your sat here slating the ref not giving you decisions. our fans are slating the ref for not giving us decisions. Easy job being a ref.
The reason you lost was 2 **** bits of defending that's it. Overall I will admit you were the better team.
Any way Verm needs to be dropped, both goals were on him (especially the 2nd). Theo should be dropped too, he's done **** all recently (yes he got an assist but where was he during the first half?) Caz needs his CAM spot back give Wilshere his old role back.
The main issue with the ref was he should have given out more cards - particularly dawson, he had a couple of petulent moments that deserved cards. And Giroud should have had more protection - otherwise i wasn't too bothered by his performance. Some of the refs we have had this season have been terrible, this one wasn't that bad.
