With Suso and Assaidi in a killer front 3!!! We should have won by far more today......But ill take it!
So far this game you've complained about Shelvey, Allen, Henderon & Sterling. Is there anyone in our team you actually support?
Enrique is back to his best now, has really stepped up his game and looks a great player. MOTM for me, again
Will take the win but seems are problem for the last year and a half is we are not scoring enough we have lots of possesion but we cant put teams to the sword.
well we won. Good first half. Second half they played better and we had some dicey moments. Good job we were not playing a half decent team or we could have unstuck
A win is a win no matter whether we deserved to win 10-0 or lose. There are two big positives for me today... 1) Lucas played 70+ minutes unscathed; and 2) We won despite Suarez having an off day Edit: make that three points... 3) Enrique is back to his best. Awesome display again and is my MOTM again too
4 points seperate us in 11th to Everton in 6th, couldn't be much tighter going into a busy schedule. West Brom seem to have come unstuck after an awesome start, 2 defeats in a row now. Chelsea & Spurs look like they'll fnish 3rd & 4th through default for the fact no one else can be bothered to be consistent enough!
It's a rare thing when we win but I still feel disappointed. Good performance, 3 points. But I'm getting really fed up with us wasting chances. The final ball is always lacking. We will continue to pay for these missed chances. Shelvey was anonymous and unless Hendo is coming on from Lucas, I don't know why he would come on instead of Suso or Sahin? We need some really composed players in the final third who know what to do in the box.
Sterling's youth and inexperienced showed again today with some poor decisions, but he'll keep on learning through first team games (still only 17!), but he should be alternating with Suso or Assaidi for starts. Good performance today, I thought, despite it only being 1-0. Alot to take away from that game though.
Also: 4) Kept a clean sheet 5) Second consecutive home win 6) Agger's got his first goal of the season 7) Gerrard looked more sprightly today
Arsenal were looking good a few weeks ago in the top six. But in just a few weeks have slipped right down to 10th, one place ahead of us. Newcastle were quick out the starting blocks and spent the first few weeks in a great position. Be they have been bad since Pardew signed his new contract and they now sit near to the drop zone. This shows how quick and suddenly things can change in a short amount of time. Especially between positions 4-12. We are still in with a realistic enough chance of a top 6 finish, if not top 4. I have seen many teams start like West Brom have over the years, but they never keep it up. They tire and slip down the league. I'v even seen teams in the situation West Brom are in end up relegated.
