  1. Need them to continue like this for the rest of the season, possibly finishing 16th at best. There's going to games we will lose and these will be able to cheer me up.
  2. As we need to make sure we win, it wouldn't shock me if emi is starting in goal for first 45 but I'm expecting it to be olsen. Cash Carlos torres lenget To give digne some time to rest and konsa Mcginn luiz teilemens Ramsey To give kamara a breather after his knock Zaniolo to give diaby a breather after his knock Watkins That way we are rotating a few but Carlos can be trusted so really only 2 who have yet to show their quality for us. It needs to be a win
  3. Having the midfield 3 of kamara mcginn and Luiz with luiz the one pressing has got us on the front foot, as has emis long balls to watkins. It's been a while since we used high intensity aggressive play when off the ball and it is clearly working today so far. 2 good watkins goals, diaby with 3 or 4 chances but held onto the ball a fraction too long but was there for the 3rd goal. In other games, especially if we were playing the top 6 2 of those goals I could see being disallowed, zaniolo being near the keeper offside for watkins 2nd and Luiz clash 20 seconds before the 3rd. The only player not quite on it is zaniolo so far, the speed of the game at the moment seems he is a second behind, but again I think he is better on the right hand side. Top marks though all round so far
  4. Teams probably as strong as it could be bearing in mind the injuries. Would be nice to see zaniolo on the right and diaby on the left for the first 45. Hopefully we will have woken up after Wednesdays shocker My confidence in some of our subs has taken a bit of dip due to their performances against Everton, again ,hopefully it's out of their system and they saw how bad some of their play was. 2 - 1 to us.
  5. I haven't seen anyone posting suggesting he is faking it ? Where are these posts ? Or did you read something and then make up in your head what the poster meant ?
  6. Does that word confuse you and make you try and put words into others posts that weren't said ? Obviously it does
  7. Clearly he does, unless you are seriously suggesting he doesn't?
  8. The injury that keeps reoccuring, why ?
  9. Looked OK tonight until he realised how bad we were playing, then the mystical hamstring injury when walking appeared.
  10. He would need to be able to run, tackle, head the ball and accurately pass it to his own team mates. At the moment he struggles to do any of those things let alone be able to do all.
  11. Big mistakes tonight. Both in players and roles. Bailey on the right gets injured, zaniolo who plays on the right brought on.. to play on the left shifting players positions. Mcginn at left back Teilemens coming out for the 2nd half Said it when I saw our line up that it was weak. Weak was clearly an understatement. Play each game to win, that means picking your strongest available line up. Having the odd player come in happens, putting olsen donker Tielemens and mcginn at left back and wanting us to play our style is never going to work out well.
  12. Very disappointing so far, I just don't see a position for him that doesn't involve being on the bench. Maybe in the number 10 role as a sub ? Lacks energy, mobility and has zero presence on the pitch at the moment. He needs to change his conditioning training because whatever he is or isn't doing, isn't working.
  13. Leaving teilemens on for the first part of the 2nd half cost us any chance. That's on emery, very poor indeed. Olsen was clearly told to speed things up from his almost stupidly slow crap play which constantly put us under pressure. Cash was terrible today, trys to beat a man so does but instead of going on the inside takes it back on the outside repeatedly losing the ball. Zaniolo needs to be on the right, on the left he hesitates and looks lost. And when he made runs he was never played the ball. We made them look good , that's how bad we were. Until teilemens came off we still had little to no shape and a lack of any energy and he looked disinterested unless he was given the ball, not conducive to the way we play. Mcginn should have stayed on for teilemens start of 2nd half. Another poor cup exit by playing out of form and out of condition players. Hopefully emery will realise that having more than 1 of these on the pitch at the same time from the start won't work. In summary we were shite for all but the last 8 minutes
  14. Well it's safe to say both teilemens and donker will be coming off. Kamara and digne on and push mginn in the place where teilemens should be playing. That was an embarrassment, both players just walking around doing nothing or standing around doing nothing. Cash hasn't looked forwards more than once that half, and that was meant to be the attacking side with zero players on the left. Duran not dropping and showing anywhere but straight down the middle. So bad , really, so terribly bad. And olsen thinking he has the ability of emi ? Move the bloody ball quicker, you're setting this boring slow temp and causing half the panic at the back. It's salvageable as long as the subs are made at half time. Then after 60 if duran still is in the pocket of tarkovski swap for ollie.
  15. Team looks quite weak to me, this cup we only need to win 6 games and that's a trophy. Got to rotate, especially with injuries so hey ho. Let's hope for some duran fire and Bailey to play with home confidence. Olsen to not have a shot to save. Donker clearly in to combat calvin lewis in the physical battle. I'm guessing it will be 3 at the back once we are in possession, hopefully it won't confuse us. Going for a 3 nil win tonight, a doubly from diaby and a duran tap in ( lol, clearly a thunderblaster from the edge of the area)
  16. Needs sorting ASAP, it looks like all the players have flu and can't be comfortable wearing a sodden shirt.
  17. Well the bad stuff first On the pitch, ref was truly terrible, multiple wrong decisions including booking digne for being elbowed, giving freekicks when nothing has happened such as the ball being hit into durans shoulder, not giving freekicks when sterling flicks it on with his hand. Off the pitch , dear lord, quite possibly the crappest commentator ever. Struggled to find anything accurate she said in the entire game, gems after 25 mins as villa already have 12 points this season coming into the game, handballs that weren't, plays names wrong, effan ekoko or who ever the Co commentator was kept having to interrupt her nonsense but apologised each time !! Player wise Zaniolo looks good, great turn and shot 1st half, doesn't seem to understand his position at the moment and would prefer him on yhe right and diaby on the left. Watkins, was anonymous all game bar one press and we won the ball and had a chance, then hid goal. If he hadn't scored, I think he would have been brought off a minute or 2 later. Good finish though. Kamara and doug played well but we're swamped several times, konsa and pau had a good game as did emi Mcginn still looking slow and lacking energy, cash and digne were decent in spells and held the line well but both got turned and beaten several times due to the high line. Bailey did ok for the minutes he was on just to keep some forward momentum but shows his lack of pace when he couldn't get close to Chilwell down the line. A deffo red card which opened up the game for us. Clean sheet for emi and a goal for ollie and all appears quiet in our house bar some bants from me
  18. Commentary is shocking, they had a weak shot straight at martinez in the first 10 minutes, the woman ( why ?) screaming the players name as if it were a thunderbolt shot going into the top corner. The male commentator then says routine easy save from a poor shot. We need to be that bit quicker in this next 44 minutes or when ever the ref decides he's foing to stop it. Hopefully no more players get elbowed and carded.
  19. Last year after tuchel went they were quiet except beating us. Need the quiet to continue and them not to beat us
  20. Let's hope the team click and do what we know they can today. Need to beat these lot as step kids and mother in law are chelski, so need to shut them up.
  21. Unless we generate an extra 20 million per season, our back up players, sadly , won't get much better than Chambers.. He is decent enough for the fill in or extra cover, but not one to rely on for more than 45 minutes if he has the first team playing.
