See I completely agree for away games - but at home I think that set up is very good - Catts plays the away games but not the home ones - I thought this and said it to my mate when we were watching the match - they need Cattermole in games like that IMO. Was Defoe injured when he came off? I personally thought he wasn't very good on Saturday - one golden opportunity which he should've scored but his performance wasn't very good - played very well against Spurs (despite the missed chance) but poor against Bournemouth - maybe Tuesday experiment with Borini up top and AJ and Lens on the wings? **** knows! Quick question for @red&white wanderer - WTF is ETU? Been racking my brains and looking all over the place for the reference but can;t find it!
It means Expect The Unexpected, and he wants us to associate him with it 'cos he's trying to be clever and he thinks that it's brilliant He uses it inappropriately, and, unfortunately, he just makes me think 'what a prick'
We need to keep our heads up lads Its due to unfit players - DA reckons peak performances by December- we were out thought and out run by Bournmouths relentless pacey match fit players - footballing teams are not so relentless relying on passing and skill - we have skillful but unfit players - I still feel a Manchester double scalp - cup run beginnith and a 1st league victory --well................... anyway KTF and ETU thats all we can do.
Sorry - its Expect The Unexpected - b**********y abbreviations eh - so obvious when you're told - I worked in IT - acronymes and abbreviations are a nightmare at times
The thing is mate we looked fairly solid at the back against spurs, Kaboul looked like a colosus at the back during that game and we saw Coates turn in performances like that in the run in last year, they are both very capable defenders on their day but looked ****e at Bournemouth. I'm just hoping with a couple of tweaks and a bit of confidence we could have a competent defence in there somewhere, though it would be daft to deny that the defence has been an issue so far. Maybe I'm just clutching at straws, just trying my best to stay positive it's going to be a long old season and getting negative at this point won't help anybody.
