Utter **** review. Why hasn't a formation permutation been offered? As lacklustre and limp as Nev after he has had a shandy. Great? You're off your ****ing rocker pal, it's the championship
If this team beats premier league opposition in the later stages of a cup I'll entertain thoughts of them possibly showing signs of becoming a memorable team. So far reason tells me us winning so comfortably is more due to poor opposition and good tactics rather than footballing skill.
I know mate. I didn't say we've been great though, I said there were signs yesterday when we were playing lethal football that the team with the best defense in the league, before the game, were just annihilated by. There's definite improvement needed, but the fact that we've gotten as far as we have and we're not even a 3rd of the way through the season yet is a good sign.
Thought Ipswich were poor and offered little going forward. However thought we played well when we needed to and looked like we always had an extra gear if we needed it. This is a side that should be able to achieve promotion but will need major rebuilding to compete in the Premier League. The good thing is that if Mike wants to keep Rafa he has to be prepared to invest because I am sure Rafa wants to be back competing at the top of the league rather than struggling to avoid relegation each year. Think that's going to be the difference between this year and 2009-2010 - we have a manager who Ashley has confidence in and he knows he will have to match his ambitions to keep him.
