Villanun Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I agree with what Ayew said post match - a couple of months ago we'd have lost that match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 A game we should have won. I think theres improvement but its not enough and I wish he had put Adama on sooner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honest_bertie Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Sounds like we played well with the usual defensive lapse for them to score. I accepted relegation a few weeks ago so didn't expect to win and by the sounds of it we were better team so more interested in that we make progress as a team and hopefully today was a case of us continuing to improve (although slowly). Need to replace Gestede for a proper striker to partner Ayew, replace Guzan and maybe if possible get in a DM and RB. Preparing as best as possible for the championship is what it's about now.want us to be building a squad that understand how each other play and can switch between a variety of formations.

supernova26 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Played like our lives depended on it but still didn't win. Says it all sadly. We were the better team though and at least we actually deserved this draw, despite it coming from quite a spawny penalty. But sadly all this has done is bring us closer to relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we dominated most of the match, but our strikers were incapable of adding that finishing touch. So he should have played other strikers, by sneaking them into the ground and disguising them as existing players, so the FA wouldn't notice we'd got new players in before the transfer window. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT123 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I honestly believe we played to the maximum of our abilities today and yet we still didn't win. Originally I thought the players were good enough but this obviously now is not the case. Gestede could and should have had a hat-trick today. Buy a striker who can hit the back of the net before the Palace game and we may have a chance. A very slim one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaphan04 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 as soon as we have been level in the last 2 games, to me it looks like Garde has been trying to defend a point and not look for the win when 3 points are necessary. Both times the opposition were there for the picking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackburn, my in disputed favourite away day. Though I'd prefer never to see then again, unless cup compo or promotion to premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul33 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) I may be in a minority of one here but we stand zero chance of avoiding relegation simply by playing garbage and sneaking the odd win .... it may happen once or twice if we are lucky but it will not be enough. We have to play well enough and keep playing well enough. Today we played well enough but were unlucky and, personally, I'd rather play well for a 1-1 right now than play garbage and fluke a 1-0. Now take that form and commitment and support to Norwich and see what it serves up! Edited December 26, 2015 by Paul33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Not good enough, let down by the manager again. Seriously Jim why do you hate him so much??? I genuinely can't imagine what he's done for you to keep giving it to him in the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 West Ham were dire. Probably the most winnable game we will have this season bar maybe Sunderland coming up. Any thread of hope I had left has gone. We were much the better side but too little too late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree if we weren't so far adrift. 9 points is too much of a gap from safety to play well and take a point at home to West Ham. If we had hired Garde in the summer then today would have been a decent point because we wouldn't be in this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Couldn't beat a striker-less team who've forgot how to score. Zero home wins. Miles behind at the bottom. Yes let's stay positive chaps. We're done. Have been for weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
