oldtype Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 What's troubling though is that we haven't been playing all that well for three games on the trot now. Has the 4-3-3 been found out? Regardless, we're still a far better team than we were pre-KK, but seeing as how we have two extremely difficult fixtures coming up I worry if we'll be able to pick up any points based on the recent preformances.

We haven't been playing all that badly either. Today we were undeniably the poorer team but we were far from outclassed or anything of that nature.

You can't play extremely well for 90 minutes in every game, regardless of how good you are and we are not very good even at this moment, although we are much better than we were and have been all season. Football is a game of transitions especially here in the Premier League and it's what you do in those transitional spells that counts which is what we have done really well in the past 3 games - giving a good account of ourselves spread across the full spectrum of those games, be it defensively away to Pompey, working hard at home to sunderland or coming back from 2-0 down at Upton Park. And as fans we must take all those good things and add them together and when we do, it all reads good in my opinion. We are showing a mixture of everything at the moment which I believe gives us a much better perspective of our team, its strengths and its weaknesses and while lack of quality is the biggest weakness and always will be, I find balance to be just as significant and should we address both those things we'll be good to go next season. All good man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham-Tottenham-Reading -> none of those teams had any idea how to cope with the formation Portsmouth-Mackems-West Ham -> all found one way or another to neutralizing the front three and exploit the weaknesses of the formation, at the very least making it an even game or in today's case, nearly walking over us completely.

James Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 On that basis, I'd probably bring Duff and Milner into the team for the rest of the season as two players who can stretch their legs a bit more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I don't care what he says about "protecting" youngsters, last game of the season would be a great game to start LuaLua, Carroll and Edgar (if he's OK), maybe start Forster and stick Kadar, Godsmark, Troisi, Soderberg and Tozer on the bench. Good chance to give them vital Premier League experience. XI against Everton on the final day: Forster Beye Taylor Edgar Enrique LuaLua Butt Barton Milner Owen Carroll Bench: Soderberg, Godsmark, Kadar, Troisi, Tozer Yes or no?

Both Sunderland and Portsmouth set about trying to stop us which affected their own game, we were still the better team in both of those games. West Ham didn't try and stop us, they had a good go at beating us which is why we were hardly in the game the first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Both goals we conceded were poorly defended. Noble was in plenty of space for the first with Barton the wrong side of him, you can't afford to give people that much time and space in the box. For their second Taylor didn't even jump with Zamora who won an easy flick on to Ashton, who then turned Edgar inside out before a good finish.
