  1. Hope that we we can be slightly more composed and calm in the 2nd half. We look slightly stressed and desperate. I fear that it might but us in the ass. We need tempo and variety but not to get naive and lose focus. I would put Hall on as he has progressive passing and good delivery. We don’t look close to scoring. Come on!! Let’s do this!
  2. it’s not bad luck and coincidences only. What the fuck is wrong with saying this?
  3. Need to get more focused! We can win this. Wouldn’t mind seeing Hall on for his ability and progressive passing. Come on lads!
  4. You know fuck all about my support Dont come with this shit.
  5. Not creating anything really. Fulham have the game where they want it right now. Hopefully we can break the deadlock soon.
  6. For someone with such great technical ability his shooting is more often than not poor (Bruno)
  7. Freak injuries or not, I don’t think our playing style is sustainable for the long term.
  8. Dubravka also has got older and worse. No massive mistakes but he just isn’t good enough.
  9. Should have rested AG. Hopefully he will look fresh and score a brace.
  10. We should win this. The players and fans shouldn’t use fatique as an excuse. I’m sure the players won’t be and will be up for it and get the season going. No loser attitude here please!

    NUFC Transfer Rumours

    Sorry, I must have been thinking of the former Leicester player…
  12. I wouldn’t have signed Barnes.

    NUFC Transfer Rumours

    Too bad he isn’t very good in general play.
  14. He isn't world class. He has the potential ceiling of being just that. He has always struggled with consistency. Said it once we signed him that he's very up and down in quality. Personally i don't think he will ever be consistent enough to be proper world class. He will have some games of that calibre though. His talent is undoubted. Hope i'm wrong...
  15. Easily a better player than Longstaff already imo.
  16. I love Eddie and he has my support 100%. What he has achieved with us in such a short period of time is nothing but amazing. There are some things i wish he would have done differently when it comes to say rotation, subs and some tactical bits. I'm sure he and the team have learn't tons from this when it comes to many things, being a new experience with the CL, in many ways. However, the next few signings will tell a lotabout where we are looking to go. We need better players technically and in possession as well as style/tactics to control games better, and to save some energy when possible. I don't agree with the signing of Barnes for example. Is a an effective player? Yes, in many scenarios. I don't see him starting ahead of Gordon for example. Some might say that Gordon can play RW and Barnes on the left. I don't want this though as it would make us too predictable having 2 wide players that don't offer too much when it comes to flair and 1v1, especially against teams that tactically or "forced" decide to sit back slightly deeper like many teams play away in europe, as well as lesser teams in the league. Barnes might very well prove to be a very good squad player but i don't ever see him being a key player in a team that once it evolves will need better players in general play to control and break teams down. At the very time of the signing i would much have prefered to see us putting that money elsewhere. I can easily see Gordon being a starting player in the future too, but we need to strike a good balance when it comes to the style and attributes of players as we look to progress and inevitably evolve. I'm very excited about the future and extremely happy and proud of what we have achieved so far. I know i keep babbling about technical/creativity/flair and so on, but it's a must go route going forward to progress to the next level. As said, balance is key.
