    Good read that. A lot of the British media fixate on his time at Arsenal or relate his successes to English teams they faced in Europe. It’s a true underdog story and transformation. But we are an unfashionable club to the media. It’s honestly baffling. Unai should get manager of the year if we secure the champions league. He won’t. But he should. The turnaround is remarkable.

    If in doubt stick it out for the throw. Don’t over complicate it.

    Dented so much so that we have a 7 point gap still as it stands assuming Spurs pick nothing up today
  4. The_Steve
    He's a crucial player, no doubt. Unai, however, will not tolerate his poor attitude and silly hotheadedness. Too much of a passenger last night.

    Now let's get 4th and win the Conference

    I agree that he made it harder. We might disagree on other parts of it, but I appreciate the discussion. This is what football is about - debate and discussion about the good and bad. Will watch it back again tomorrow with some fresh eyes.

    Just hoof it into the stands if he doesn't want to head it.

    If he doesn't want to head it why not pass it to Olsen? Diego's touch was terrible. You don't do that in football at any level - you can't face away from the opposition and make a blind clearance.

    I'm still bursting with pride with this season. No matter the setback, we rise to it. European football again and we are in a commanding position for fourth.

    Lively when he came on. But the tactics changed. Nobody likes to be subbed off as a sub, but it was purely a pragmatic decision. Our attacking play was very poor in the second half and he had little to work with.
  12. The_Steve
    It's baffling as it's harder to stop yourself and re-position your body for the clearance he decided. He had ample time to head that back with the second bounce. It was bad enough that he managed to pick out Palmer who was the farthest back of all of them.
  13. The_Steve
    Does he rush out? Yes. Does Diego still has time to head that - but he makes a bad defensive judgement. You cannot make a move like that in the middle of your final third. For me, it's more on Diego than the keeper.

    Who was injured. What else could we do?
  15. The_Steve
    For me, Diego tells Robin to stop but is not even looking at what's behind him or where Pau is. It was easier to head it back - but he stopped himself and positioned himself to make a very poor clearance. At that level, you cannot ignore what's behind you.

    I really wonder if people posting sometimes actually watched the game.
  17. The_Steve
    Diego made the call seeing Olsen charging out. He doesn't even look behind him. Pau is flapping his arms in confusion. It was an error of judgement from Diego. Olsen doesn't help, but as an experienced defender, he got it wrong.
  18. The_Steve
    I do think Olsen rushes too quick but Diego makes the call and isn't even looking at who is behind them. That's a big defensive error.
  19. The_Steve
    Still lots of promise. Very hard game for him tonight. Needs to be braver in closing down.
  20. The_Steve
    Watch it back. Olsen stops running because Diego indicates he going to take control and well doesn't. He could have still headed it to him.
  21. The_Steve
    I said in the match thread his lack of confidence and experience shows. We are down to the bare bones in midfield and he’s not doing the basics. It’s a big mistake that I hope he learns from.
  22. The_Steve
    Diego took the decision without sighting the keeper
  23. The_Steve
    Shhh. We don’t want common sense posts
  24. The_Steve
    Injuries and fatigue aside. It’s still in our hands.
  25. The_Steve
    He’s masking his shortcomings. It was a blatant foul. You can’t pull someone’s arm or shove them in the back.
