    Yes it was the same team...who's been scoring though? he cannot score every game, so you have to have 'good' potential goal threat from elsewhere in the team, and imo we don't. Did Ade have a shot?, can't recall one, can't recall anything worthwhile in open play tbh, set pieces was our best bet and are they our strong point...no. You can excuse Ade with poor or no service, but doesn't that highlight my point even more?

    Would you rather that at 2-0 down and 10 men we threw on defenders and not let any of our players leave their half? That's the best chance we had of not having a few more goals put past us and I'm glad we didn't do it. Similar with Liverpool and whether we're playing badly or well and whether the red is deserved or not, I'd rather we give it a go. Under 'Arry we were the same, Crouch got sent off against Real Madrid, we kept at it and got battered, against we Inter we got battered but kept at it and almost produced the biggest turn around in CL history. There are going to be more batterings then there are draws and wins when you play like that but I think you've got to go for the spectacular and unbelievable in situations like that, it sticking 11 behind the ball and hoofing it for half a game anyway.

    Absolutely. Just not the Spurs way.

    We've appealed the Rose red, rather unsurprisingly. There's a poem in there, somewhere.

    I'm glad as well. The one thing I really want to see is the team continuing to make an effort to win the game, however unlikely the chances of that become.

    Ade and Eiriksen have been the only ones scoring since Sherwood took over, other than Lennon getting one, I think. Ade had that grazing header that Dawson put in, but easily could and probably should have put in another one of the corners, which just about grazed his leg in front of an open goal. We didn't get anything in open play, really, but we had a lot of one man to beat situations (though we never beat them well enough to get a decent shot...). The big problem there was no one attacking the goal. It was always one or two players down at their end against three or four.

    But I may be arguing about something which we agree on. Are you saying we need to pick up a player who is a threat to score, or that we should have played someone else who had a better chance to score? Because if it was the latter, I don't know who it could be. Holtby hasn't scored as much as Gylfi. Personally, I'd give Holtby a chance on the left against Hull, if we aren't dead set on moving him, which I think we are. But I think he would have been both too lightweight and too slow against City. I was unpleasantly surprised to see Eiriksen look unable to handle City's speed and power, and Holtby is smaller and slower than Eiriksen.
