If you believe the last few games we have played well, then good luck to you and keep living in that little cloud cuckoo land of yours. We are a far better side than what we have shown. No one believes we are Barcefuckinlona as you put it. What I do believe is that we have gone backwards in recent weeks in terms of performance and were out passed and out played by a poor Villa side. I have watched us roll over and let a poor Liverpool side tickle our bellies and stuff us. I have watched us go to West ham and give a performance that was as bad as last years effort. If we continue in this way we will start to slide down the league. Just because we are a small nid table side I still expect us to go out and actually look like we want or believe we can win. So I dont look through rose tinted glasses and even though I am happy with 4 points over xmas i am less than happy with the way we have played.

While I agree we have been below our usual standard lately, we still picked up 7 points from the last 4 games which is a very healthy return. How many times under Rodgers, ML and Monk (Spurs game a prime example) where we played well and got nothing at all?
With the Xmas schedule jammed packed, I'd like to think that Monk sacrificed performances to ensure getting points on the board especially with the next three league games we have coming up and with Ki, Bony, Montero and Jonjo absent for those games.
Our performances might be different to what we have been used to atm, but we cannot deny that they have been effective in picking up points over the Xmas period. That said, I'd like to think that when we return to the one game a week schedule, we will adapt back to our usual way of playing.

'Can't understand why some say we were appalling, not only is utter bollox but it is incorrect too. Just what are people expecting from us? play like Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal. Get real for fekk sake?'

No, we expect to play like Swansea City not a bargain basement version.

Aren't statistics useless :emoticon-0100-smile
 
apart from liverpool game where Brendan had the measure of us our football has been what to expect from a club our size In fact we have been playing above ourselves and if our finishing was better by everyone and the diabolical decisions that have gone against us we could well be alongside the saints or possibly higher. So with everything going against us we are having a fantastic season being in 9th place. If we were battling relegation then fans would be right to moan about the football and monk ....<ok>

Regardless of the football being played, cannot argue with this.
