I hate the NLD...I never enjoy it...way too tense and am regularly gutted after it.
But this season I am actually dreading it.
We are so defensively poor... west brom could have had a couple today...sunderland got a couple...and liverpool got 3...and look weak going forward.
Our manager makes weird substitutions...why wait til 75 mins to bring on lennon? Why bring on paulinio at all?
Last week v sunderland he made defensive substitutions and we ended up drawing.
And our starting line up is poor...kaboul is shot imo, chiriches is an accident waiting to happen, dembele flatters to deceive, adebayor has done very little of note...etc. etc.
But most of all ... we have no plan B.
Arsenal will tear us apart...they have a very fast attack which will cause us havoc.
I am at a loss to understand how levy chooses our managers or decides who we will buy or sell.
We are light years behind where we were under redknapp and imo under jol. We are predictable and most damning we can be boring more often than not....all this with a team of good players.

I aint for sacking managers (avb is the only one I wanted sacked in my 40 yrs as a spur)...but there is something wrong in our set up if supoosedly good managers and players are delivering **** like this up...it aint the losing or not winning that is the problem it is the ****ness of the football
 
We need a striker and a creative midfielder.

We have enough talent in Defence for a decent manager to be able to work on that side of our game, but our problem is that we are not converting our possession into shots on goal, let alone on scoring actual goals.

Is the problem Poch or is it a more general problem with our management system? I don't know, but either way, Levy has to take the blame.
 
I agree...every time we have took a step forward with a manager (jol and redknapp) he has sacked them for the latest best young managers.
AVB was a disaster waiting to happen ... very few if any fans thought it was a good idea to hire him, the same goes with sherwood. More thought pochetinno was a good choice but I saw and see him in the same light as managers like phil Brown and owen coyle...one good season and then they get found out. Brown was seen as a genius when hull were first promoted and coyle wax considered a candidate to replace wenger...now they are both nowhere near the premier league.
Levy has also ****ed up transfer wise.., paulinio, soldado, lamela none have delivered in terms of their potential ... they havent become **** over night they just do not seem suited to either us or them premier league...and that should have been looked at...our 3 most expensive club signings are all complete flops...at a total cost of over £75m
 
TBH, I'm not sure if I'll watch it. Firstly, I'm pretty sure we'll lose. Secondly, I quite like my new telly and it would look better without a boot stuck through the middle of it!

Plus the missus gets upset if I kick the cat. :D
 
As soon as the match finished to-day I made the decision NOT to watch the NLD next week. Instead I shall, weather permitting, work in my garden & listen on my transistor radio.
Before I discovered live streaming I often done this and 'heard' many a victory! Not that I'm expecting one next week but at least I won't have to watch the ball not go into the net 500 times.
 
I will be very surprised if we get any points against the Goonz, our defence is still a liability, they panic whenever they have the ball and the opposing attackers close them down.
 
I'm guessing that there'll be a number of changes in the side for the Arsenal game.
Vertonghen, Fazio and possibly Naughton at the back, plus maybe Stambouli and one attacking player.
 
In a perverse kind of way, I'm quite looking forward to it.

Then again, I do like to be tied up and have my balls whipped as a major part of my sex-play, so I'm probably not the best person to ask about this.
 
Even though we used to win every time for quite a while, I never enjoy these matches

Cheers. As for the NLD, as mentioned form does not matter and the problem for us is that if we even pick up one more injury at the back, we are ****ed. So, you can potentially get at our defence. But, if we attack like we did against City, then I could also seeing as causing serious damage at the other end. Like most NLD's it should be a cracker.
 
Here's a question I can't answer offhand. When was the last time we beat a team we were favored to lose to? All of last year we didn't, so far as I can remember. We certainly haven't this year. I guess it was Man City the year before last.

You can look at it either that we're sure to lose, or that we're due for a win against a favored team by the sheer law of averages. The other blind squirrels occasionally come up with an acorn.
