Fontes penalty is a classic example of this , too slow so lunged in like a donkey .
Its not the defeat , its the manner of the defeat , how long are the hippies going to clap for ?
1) Is Fonte good enough as a Premiership starter ?
2) Is Fox good enough as a Premiership starter ?
3) Does Adkins think the two said are good enough ?
The 3rd question rhetorical as it seems he does , they plainly are not , we have leaked 8 goals in 3 games , two against top top quality granted but leaked 8 none the less so thats over a 100 a season , we are not going to score over a 100 goals this season that is for sure .
Lets be honest its not about defeat its always about the manner of the defeat , we were always going to struggle this year so why not build from a strong defence , Fox and Fonte simply are not good enough , Hooiveld is a good sub , my opinion and I am not changing from last season , they are immobile and far too slow , Fontes penalty is a classic example of this , too slow so lunged in like a donkey .
Wait, Hooiveld conceded the penalty didn't he?
it just shows some people's agendas
We have leaked 8 goals in 3 games and they are entirely Fonte's and Fox's fault? The 100 a season think is ridiculously stupid and laughable.
Why is Jos not being criticised? He's given away two penalties already.
The manner of the defeat? When I saw that fixture list I expected a fair few 3 or more to nil scorelines. We've done better than I thought and showed we can mix it up. If we can attack that well and be poor defending against a top, top side, then against lower sides, when on form we will have an average lower half defence and be tearing through them.
I see no incredibly mobile CB's in any top side? Vidic? Nope. Rio? Nope. JT? Nope. Cahill? Not really. Lescott? Ummm no. Vermaelen? Nah.
Oh and blaming Fonte for the penalty is just laughable and demonstrates the very small attention span and brain capacity you have.
If you're going to bring out "facts", get them right.
did you watch arsenal game? vermaelen is very mobile
Is he REALLY mobile? We obviously need a speed demon at the back!!
Also, another point, not aimed at you.... Lincoln... why do you appear more often after a defeat or to pour scorn on things? You slagged Sharp off, slated Gaston, saying it wouldn't happen and it was an unrealistic target, but now we've signed him you're saying it's a waste of money?
Because after a win there isnt really too much to add. A win is a win which doesnt really need dissecting, so there is not much to comment on
Ref Ramirez i reckon thats a hell of lot to punt on one player who may not even be that good

Surely if he is too good for us it's a good capture?

There's plenty to comment on when there's a win. What a ridiculous statement. Enjoy the good times, and assess the bad times.
You shouldn't just go "good time - not interested" - "bad time - let me get my teeth into this!!!".
So after slating our defenders today, if we had gone down the other end in the final 2 minutes and scored twice you'd not even comment on the poor defending because we had won? Hmmmm.
dickson would be absolutely shat on, he is not very goodsomething needs to be done at the back twice weve been 2-1 up and ended up loosing 3-2 not saying make drastic changes i would like to see how luke shaw or ryan dickson have a go at LB fox goes forward way to much and his positioning isnt the best.
dickson would be absolutely shat on, he is not very good

Kind of yeah. When we win I usually dont have a lot else to add. Most of what i think has already been said so just duplicating posts doesnt make sense. And no, if we had won prob would not have posted, would have been on here readings peoples views of the games/ratings etc

So you are happy to avoid poor performances if we win, but if we lose very narrowly to the most dominant force in English football over the past couple of decades it becomes a big deal? Weird. A poor performance is poor, whatever the result. We come on here to discuss the performances.
think how brutal it would be with dickson thenfox got shat on today valencia basically had the whole left flank to himself unchallenged
