  1. This is exactly what I see, its so frustrating. Just keep the ball like we did at 0-0.
  2. That's great, we need to improve..... at 0-0 we kept possession and never took chances with through balls because we wanted to maintain possession and work a goal with minimal risk. At 2-0 up we abandoned that and started spraying balls all over the pitch and had runners from almost every position trying to break Brentfords press and score again, we played right into Brentfords hands, it allowed them to hit us on the break once our attack broke down, its was farcical to watch. Just keep the ball and kill the game with injuries, moans and other game play. It's irritating that we are so close to challenging the very top but are lacking in something so simple, Brentford did it at 2-3 and 3-3.
  3. What a performance, he's got some future ahead of him that's for sure.
  4. Chased the ball out to the right side and left us short in the middle, dreadful defending, him and Konsa were in a right flap.
  5. We chased the game more at 2- 0 up than we did at 0-0 , poor game management, we seem to want to try and score 4 goals in every game.
  6. Surprised about China being more brittle than Russia but I guess that's down to Russia's raw materials, oil, gas etc.
  7. That may work with Russia and North Korea but it won't work with China, they are at least the USA's match with industrial output and not far behind with tech. Plus they have a huge population that are willing to run into a burning building if told to, not much political dissent to a war from them. The UN stops the nuclear armed nations from fighting and that's its undoubted benefit, any weapons race with nukes at its centre is a very dangerous world to live in as anyone who lived in the 80's will testify, it was dreadful.
  8. I don't think they will do either, their new owner isn't stupid, he will aim at proven success and a decent track record. They have some dangerous forwards and on the break they score goals from half chances, tbh we have better chances and more often and they amount to nothing most of the time. Their real problem, as others have pointed out, is they have no style of play and quickly look disorganised under pressure. The 4th goal was a great example of them all complaining to the ref while Chelsea went for the throat, even the lead up to it when they all piled forward trying to get the winner was like watching 11 year olds, unbelievable tbh. I do think if Cov beat them then the manager will go straight away.
  9. OK, you can't grasp why Emery did it with the reasons given by countless posters....... Maybe it was to wreck Arsenal/Liverpools title chances?
  10. Nice steady performance, put his foot in a few times and won the ball, couple on interceptions and picked up some lose balls as well + never gave the ball away, had a few little runs with the ball as well. Very encouraging for his first start, reckon he will be starting a few games before now and the end of the season, especially if we stay in Europe, 7/10.
  11. Their competing with man City for the title, we're competing against Spurs and Manure for top 5.
  12. I don't think it's about protecting them from the emotional stress of defeat its about minimising the chances of injuries being aggravated and physical exhaustion. City rested their best players and won, we haven't got that depth because we play by the rules. We're all emotional about the villa but Emery isn't, he wants to win the war not the battle and he's giving us the best chance of doing that and anyone that can't see that is wrong. Even if we lose to Brentford we will have given ourselves a better chance by resting our better players, it really is that simple. As for judging our teams performance over a season from last night's performance, I think that's just ridiculous, it shows we have a squad that's not capable of competing for the premier league title, that's all, nothing else. Tim, Olsen , Rogers , Diaby, Duran all did well, under the circumstances, Zaniolo let himself down with a lack of concentration for 1 second, that changed the game.
  13. Played well first half, then the wall let us down and we lost our heads..Tim, Duran and Rogers did OK until they faded second half. This has no bearing on our season and to go strong and risk losing players against Lille or Brentford would have been mistake.
  14. Bailey and Diaby are gonna cause city big problems on their left side if they play like they did against Arsenal, tbh City looked pretty flat, I think we're playing them at the right time.
  15. He will go back to Italy, sounds like we was just a move to get him out of Turkey and keep him away from the media scrum around the gambling problems, once its settled down (next season) my guess he gets a permanent move to Italy.
  16. Sometimes a fight deserves two winners and that was one of em, lions with bollox the size of Mellons.
  17. Must be the pressure manure exerted by drawing to Brentford.....Neville
  18. If their just going away to get beat then I don't see the point in going and that's what England are doing under Southgate and Holland. There's not a chance in hell we are getting past the first decent team with a good manager, that's a fact. I would rather go on holiday and make the most of my time off work, which is what most players are doing. When Southgate goes and if we then get a manager and coach who are decent then things might change.

    Ezri Konsa

    Great ball into the danger area that created a goal. It's what players should be doing when they get into decent positions. Moreno, Cash and a few others tend to want to play a perfect pass into one of our players but sometimes you just have to play it into a dangerous area and see what happens, this is exactly what Konsa did. Balls driven into the box from the byline is nightmare for defenders and keepers to clear, we have countless chances to do it, Moreno, but tend to over play it. Just drive the ball low and hard, at best a goal, at the worst a corner or a rushed clearance.
  20. Hopefully he ain't injured to badly. Reckon it will have to be managed for the rest of the season though and it will give Duran a chance to get some game time and maybe Rogers, Zaniolo as well.
  21. Great tackle and recovery as well, got straight back up off his arse and took the ball, nice little lay off to Doug ( who then lost the ball holding onto it too long). Would like to have seen him come on a little earlier but that's easy to say when the games over and we have won. I do think there's a player in there for us, question is can he do it now and from the start of next season, if there's doubts then we have to buy/loan a Kamara replacement and Tim has to build his career elsewhere, which would be a shame.
  22. Poch started it all off with his Chelsea should be 4th nonsense. Love a reporter to actually engage with them and suggest changing the point system to reflect these stats, that would take the wind out of their sails.
