At work.

The annoying this is, I don't mind longer ball football, if you get players in and around the ball for the knockdown, players know where to stand etc. We lump it to Ba and no cunt is within 10 yards of him. Someone, usually Anita or Bigi, then rushes to close their player down, they pass it round them and they're away. We not playing anywhere near as a team and it's fucking horrific to watch. To compound this, we're fucking diabolical in possession, on and off the ball. So this process gets repeated time and time again. EITHER ALL PRESS, OR SIT BACK COLLECTIVELY. It's so fucking obvious which is the most annoying thing.

Ban this sick filth.

Madrid should play a reserve side against Ajax for the craic. Wouldn't put it past Mou.

Bit ott in the language a few times, but generally sums it all up really well.

We're gonna win the FA Cup.

The team is so unorganised, for so much defensive work done in training we're piss poor at winning the ball back and have no idea what to do when we lose it. Losing faith fast.

Apathy descends.

This is....

We're disorganised as fuck when running towards our own goal, Taylor runs all over the place and Williamson drops off 10 yards leaving an acre for them to run into. Need to stop them running at will at the defence.

Saw Woodman wandering about in the main square in Bruges as we were having lunch. Came and sat in our restaurant and had a coffee. Possibly NWOAP.

Massive game for Pards, we've been playing badly yet picking up points, until last week when things took the turn they were heading for a while. This week he has to respond because last week's game was finally conclusive proof that something's wrong with tactics, whilst before there was a lingering doubt thanks to our points tally. Fwiw I think we'll respond well and get a win. The West Ham game might be something we've needed in a bizarre way. We need to start pressuring higher up the pitch and give the front six more creative license. 2-0

Ah, talk of sacking him ffs.

Couple of things I learned while out there - Geordies love quilted jackets - The Geordie accent sounds remarkably similar to Flemish - I can't handle 8.5% beers

Off to work, thank fuck.

We've been greeted in English in most places before we've spoken. Hope they just guessed and we don't look blatantly English at first glance.

For all our centre midfield options we've got nobody apart from Cabaye who I'd call a forward thinking ball player, we lack a decent back up who's comfortable on the ball.

Colo in midfield.

We looked the most comfortable we'd done all half when they scored, we'd generally moved up the pitch 10 yards or so and were having a decent amount of the ball.

His poor form is exacerbated by the lack of movement around him. Feel for him because he's just not getting anything like decent service. It's frustrating because Ba is so much better at the wide left role, Cisse just isn't as good a footballer.
