Theregulars

Awful awful, awful sub.

Total waste

I must say Williamson is nowhere near the solid centre half I took him for last year.

That Fortune is a diving little twat.

I think we can see it through but we need another goal to kill it off.

There doesn't seem to be any reason for him to head that ball.

That's such a moronic thing to do at this stage of the game.

Fuck's sake. Well done lads.

Our best plan is just to carry on playing as we did, attack being the best form of defence, especially when you essentially don't have one.

Should have scored

Such a skidmark on the day, that.

Daaaaaammmnnnn.

Worst possible person to get injured in the squad.

Liquid football

And then you have to say Simpson did well there.

Thomas ghosts round Simpson too often for my liking.

BOOM.

Love Jonas in the centre.

Redknapp: " I don't see him scoring tap-ins"

Anyone else noticed Sky's team line up moving picture for Cisse is his head superimposed onto Shola?

Would absolutely love to give these insects a footballing masterclass.

I'd let him have a full pre-season under his belt so he's fully fit for next season tbh.

Totally forgot he played for us.

If Ba hadn't been on fire those few weeks we'd be seeing a more realisitc picture. That is the truth of it.

 

If RVP wasn't so good, Arsenal would be mid-table.

If Messi wasn't so good, Barca wouldn't be the best team in the world.

If Rooney hadn't scored 20 this year, no way Man U would be winning the league.

If Yaya Toure didn't play as often, Man City may not contend for the title.

 

Team minus best/better players = less points and worse league position.

 

I'm referring to chances created. Think we're 3rd bottom of the chances created league. CHANCES CREATED MINIMAL BA ON FIRE MAXIMAL.

 

It's not like Ba just gets the ball in defence and runs it into the goal. Lots of his goals have been set up for him mate, or at least passed to him in a promising position.

We're 3rd bottom of chances created league, we're 6th top of actually relevant league.

 

It's an indication of the sides play in positive space (the opp half).  Nobody else scoring etc...Tell me if any of our midfielders is even in the top 20 assists? These are the broader indicators of poor direct football.

No it's not, the stats relating to us are an indication of whichever style of football we choose to play, which, as of this moment, is a relatively successful style. To score the goals we have done, there have to have been assists or key plays leading up to the goal, and there have been enough of them to mean we have won the majority of games we've played this season.

We don't create enough chances for a side in 6th I can't make it any simpler than that. There are charts out there showing it. Can't be arsed looking for them. Last time I looked we were 3rd bottom of it.

We look like a team in 6th - if you look at the table, that's where we are, which to me looks like a side in the top 6.
