Still created nothing though, but at least was a better performance.

We created a lot more space and there were certainly more chances than previously. It was refreshing to see a lot more crosses into good areas as opposed to random shots from outside the box (Sandro's goal aside). I think Paulinho wasn't the player to play in the number 10 role, he looked uncomfortable.

There was enough created to win the game though.

The Fulham game is on Thursday isn't it? And is it televised?

Correct 7am for EDT and 6am for us normal people in QLD ;)

Our last 4 goals have all been from outside the area.

A goal is a goal for us at the moment.

As i turned the tv on this morning Holty had his shot. Was a good thing to wake up to.

Great result this morning, hope we go with this against Liverpool

Lloris
Walker-Dawson-Chirichies-Vertonghen
Holtby-Sandro
Lennon-Eriksen-Lamela
Soldado

I expect this though:

Lloris
Walker-Dawson-Chirichies-Vertonghen
Paulinho-Sandro
Lennon-Holtby-Chadli
Defoe

Great for Soldado's confidence to score 3. Lamela needs a haircut, Holtby is a gun. When all these creative players are on the park Soldado WILL FINISH.


EDIT: Forgot to mention, anyone have a GIF of Holtby's goal?

Chirichies is injured IIRC. I think Soldado has to play over Defoe who did nothing with his chance against Sunderland. He should have had 3 goals instead he had 0.

Scoring against Anzhi is about Pendaldo's level.

:lol: Giroud hasn't scored in ages either.

I read that we used some thing too make him fit quicker. :lol:

The 'I'm getting sacked before Christmas'

He know dat feel

-PB

No need to laugh about it. Just sack him, I've trusted in AVB since the start of the season despite being originally skeptical. But 3-0 to West Ham, 6-0 to City and 5-0 to Liverpool is unacceptable.

If we actually looked like scoring a goal it would have been much easier to take.

What an atrocious game to watch.

Time for AVB to admit that his system doesn't work in England and relies too heavily on one player's X-factor. Either back to the drawing board or go coach elsewhere.

There is a strong chance that he'll be sacked before the January window, but despite some poor results you have to remember that they're only 5 points off being in the top 4 and with how competitive things have been this year that can disappear very quickly.

He seems too stubborn. We had 3 defensive midfielders out there for a while last night and still shipped goals.

Going forward has been problematic all season. I can't take much more of this 3 passes backwards 1 pass sideways and then fuckitupsomehow football.

It's obvious that he doesn't have a second or third game plan and isn't willing to adjust to counter opposition game plans.

The rest comes down to not being able to count on Bale any more.

Now who will come in? Pocchetino? Laudrup? Hiddink? Capello and Klinsmann being rumoured but seems unlikely with the WC so soon.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Laudrup. But Pochettino's style of play suits the players at the club the best.

As soon as he mentioned the negative spiral he was in one.

Announcing it during the CL draw was an obvious move

That would suggest that they were trying to slip it past people unnoticed, but after losing 5-0 at home to a team you previously considered to be a positional rival/equal people were just waiting for the axe to fall.

Exactly we did not adapt to LFC pressing us last night and as a result conceded two goals (at least).

We have drawn Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, managed by Juande Ramos, in the next round of the Europa League
