Chewie Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 This is how I felt before the match... On 15/11/2015, 20:50:02, Chewie said: I'll likely not lose total hope until it is close to being mathematically impossible for us to stay up. I personally think there is time to turn it around, and there are teams with worse players than ours. We just needed the right manager to get our guys working well, and I do honestly think we have found that in Garde. As others have said, Bournemouth, Sunderland, Norwich, possibly Newcastle, all have as much chance of having the wheels coming off later in the season like ours did at the start. We just about have enough time to rescue our season, all the teams mentioned above have plenty of time to screw up theirs. In my opinion the Premier League is crazy this season, I don't recall a recent previous time where scores were like they have been the last few weeks, take out City and Arsenal (to a certain extent) and any team can beat another right now, it's almost impossible to call what is going to happen each game week. A draw at Everton (doable), a loss at Southampton (most likely), and 3 points from Watford (you'd like to think), and the season suddenly looks rescuable. My biggest concern by a mile is that I am still unsure where our goals are going to come from. This is how I feel now... 51 minutes ago, Chewie said: Shattered hope, over and over again. It's like that girl who goes back to her abusive spouse every time. People just can't understand why she does it. That's us (the cute blonde 17 year old) with Villa (the 28 year old druggie who likes to knock us about a bit). To make it worse, when we are with him, we even let him do us up the arse! Melodramatic? Possibly, but I think it is a fair rating and reaction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 It's hard to imagine just what has been going on at Bodymoor over the past few training sessions to lead to this shambles on the back of the Man City game. The fact that our 'honeymoon' period was a single 0-0 draw in which we didn't have a shot on target pretty much sums up this club over the last half a decade, doesn't it? No positives from that, not a single one, probably as bad a performance as the 8-0 against Chelsea a few years back. Every time it seems there could be a light at the end of the tunnel, it turns out to be a raging inferno heading at me as fast as Gabby eats a pie.

Nigel Posted November 21, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2015 Just hope that hasnt knocked our confidence too much. 1 point from City and Everton away, Id have taken that. On to games we can win. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Richardson and westwood please **** off and don't come back. The rest were no better, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted November 21, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2015 Bolloxed - Everton are a settled team with lots of good prospects but they ain't brilliant - we are unsettled, lacking confidence, lacking talent. We are done for. Randy deserves this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Sanchez gave a good account of himself and Ayew is clearly a good foil to a central striker. Terrible defending. Richardson is a liability and putting Jack 'I'm too good to get into a shape and defend for the team' Grealish in front of him certainly didn't help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted November 21, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2015 Richards and Clark - shittest defenders in the league. Richardson right thereafter. Veretout, Gana, Westwood - why are you on the pitch? Same with Grealish. Benteke was our hope. Now we have nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 The midfield was pathetic, the 2 centre backs and Richardson were worse. Goose is not upto it. Ayew and Sanchez are the only 2 players to come out of that with any credit. Just go and take the game to the opposition in future please Remi, none of this sitting back letting the opposition have all the ball bullshit.

snowychap Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Dreadful first half. Didn't bother watching the second half. Nothing even slightly good or hopeful from what I saw. Edited November 21, 2015 by snowychap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I said we were **** as the team selection was announced. Westwood, Gil, Veretout and Grealish starting was plain ridiculous. Worse than anything Sherwood served up this season and I'm afraid to say Remi had lost this before a ball was kicked. Garde always used a 4-4-1-1 or a 4-4-2 diamond at Lyon which would have been a better fit here, formation and set up was totally wrong and he is very lucky Man City let us off in his first game. This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
