why does Soldado need two touches in front of goal all the fking time.. Slow ass mook. just fire the ball in.. FFS.
Chadli's been our best player easily. You just knew Bentaleb was going to take three too many touches and give it away. Pitt 46-18 at halftime. That's about 5-0 in football scores.
In all honesty I will never understand why we bought him and then refused to play to his strengths .... we have killed his confidence...notexcusing his simple misses but the guys finally scored a home goal in open play v cardiff 3 matches ago and this is his first start since
How bad was that? We surpassed ourselves with a terrible set piece...which ended up as a corner for them...followed by crap defending and a goal!
this is like watching one of those nature shows when the lame, wounded animal drags itself pathetically around after its parent. You know it is only a matter of time before it is put out of its misery. Please hurry up and end it...
There's 99% of the game and then there's the 1% that determines who wins. We've been crap at the 1% lately, and for most of the year, really. We actually look pretty decent at the other 99% today. Ade was the only one scoring, and he hasn't been the same since he limped off against Everton. Well, Eiriksen to a lesser extent as well, and he's been either hurt or not chosen.
Same joke tactics. Same clueless Soldado. Same inexplicable choice of Bentaleb in the starting XI. Expect the same hiding that we got at the Lane.
What strengths ?, from where I'm sitting I've not seen any, at all, in nearly a year. I tell you, he's a Mook.
To be honest I hate fo think how badly we would do in the CL if a team that didnt get past the the group stage can give us a footballing lesson
I dont follow european football but everyone talked about him being a good finisher who loved playing with a partner and running into through balls...so until december he played on his own and was asked to hold the ball up...I think this pretty much ****ed his confidence cos he is playjng like a minger most weeks
He was certainly a different player last year. He's certainly in a slump now. I also tend to blame the way we played early on for getting him into the slump, but, as I said, the one he missed today was exactly like half the goals he scored for Valencia.
