    Showing a dour manure is hardly worth it!

    Like I predicted. Kos and Gabby look shakey together even against the likes of Burnley.

    Nice to see Rosicky warming up.

    Always been a favourite.

    They're level. 1-1. They've not had much of the ball, but when they've attacked, they've looked threatening.

    What a surprise they scored from a Cross.

    Two 6'0 centre backs against multiple 6'+ Burnely players. Have to be careful or we can conceded more this way.

    Another average performance from us so far, what a surprise, not.

    Not played well and our back line without Merts and Cech looks totally disorganised.

    Still we can up the pace considerably. So I'm expecting a better performance in the second half.

    Haven't looked organised with Mert though have we? 3 goals conceded at Liverpool, and then the disaster game that was Chelski. Put Mert, or whoever, and we're still going to be average, as we have been for the last 2 months.

    We had a bright start, but have looked suspect at the back. Koscielny's indecision almost cost us early on and that in some ways set the tone for us defensively because Gray has been causing problems. Gabriel has generally done okay except for that one iffy moment where he mis-kicked the ball and they were nearly in, but he made up for it.

    It's been mediocre so far. Coquelin's had a shocker I have to say, but this is his first game back from months out. Elneny likewise, this is his first game so a bit of rustiness should be expected.

    Need to improve second-half

    That's 1. Not true and 2. Weirdly pessimistic.

    Soo we haven't been great for two months? We did considerably better in Sept/October or have you just chosen to forget that ever happened? Last Season we had a good defensive record. Most of this Season has been the same. All teams suffer periods of bad form. What matters is getting results and not loosing ground to our rivals.

    We are not playing well for sure. But we will improve sooner or later.

    Erm I said we haven't played good in last 2 months, so that's December-January, heck November was pretty piss poor too as we failed to win a single league game, so yeah that's not September-October.

    And so you agree we aren't playing well, so what are you trying to argue about lol? I speak fact, but for some reason when I say it, you don't like it, but end up agreeing....LOL
