Happy with the win, but by christ did we make hard work of it. Still - onwards and upwards. :)

 

Foster saved them from being bummed imo.

Easily one of the worst performances of the season at home. Fuck me. At least we picked up the points.

 

- Gave the opposition as much width and space as they wanted every time they attacked.

- Walked around the pitch at times when we were attacking.

- When we were on the ball no one was making any runs to support the midfield was static.

- Looked least likely to score against a team with 10 men.

 

I know its the end of the season, and maybe some part of me might sympathise with the players being exhausted, especially given how stretched we have been due to injuries and poor squad size. However if that is the case for the love of god just shut the fuck up about how the players are sooo up for the end of the season and finishing as high as they can.

 

Guti might have been enfuriating at times but he was easily our best player today, Enrique remembered how to run in the second half when no-one else did.

 

Dissapointing performance tbh. We will get obliterated at Chelski next week and probably limp home to a draw on the last day.

The thing that annoyed me the most today was just what the fuck Ameobi kept doing down at the centre of the pitch? He did not in any way contribute to the defensive part of the game there, and he was too far out of position to have much of an influence in counter attacks. Angered me, such wasteful positioning.

We've played better and lost. Three points is great don't get me wrong, but that was pretty poor.

 

About three quarters of the league don't give a shit right now, so who cares though.

 

Enrique was brilliant today. Felt sorry for him that all his good work was met by Nolan, Shola and Lovenkrands who have all the agility of a brick wall. I swear they can't lift their feet above hip height. Oh well.

Was thinking the same, apparently all his good work means fuck all because he missed a few chances. No chance Jonas was better like.

Good work? Fluffed every chance that came his way.

Today's itk - supposedly Barton and Shola had a fight before the game over the choice of music in the dressing room which ended with Shola calling Joey a racists.

eh? :lol:

Don't shoot the messenger :lol: Impeccable source - someone who works at the club who text someone who sits near me ;)

It's pretty fucking stupid if true like. But then again, it's Shola we're talking about

Two good bits of defending, played in Loven to shoot woefully, put some good tackles in and got into the positions to fluff those chances. But yeah fuck it like i said why think about it logically. He wasnt great(nobody was despite your markings) but he wasnt that much worse than most of the others.

I am happy with that, tough to break down 10 men sitting behind the ball.. yeah okay could have and maybe should have been more but still at times we looked much improved.
