loki679 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 We can break both the no away win jinx and the no winning from behind jinx if we win today. Fuck it, let's score from a corner, win a trophy and build a million seater stadium on the moon while we're at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Been okay IMO, but it was painfully obvious how they'd score with a slick pass in behind. Problem is we can't win from behind, so if another goal goes in for them we're fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Can someone with more football nous than I explain to me what may be the reason for playing a high-line against these speed merchants?

Not sure we're playing a high line in general. They were countering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Number 9 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Can someone with more football nous than I explain to me what may be the reason for playing a high-line against these speed merchants? Compact the middle of the park. And hope to catch them offside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I like how the set plays are still a floated ball to Williamson, even though he's not playing. Genius. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were hoping Wilshere would get distracted if he heard 'high' and 'line'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll get tired from scoring so many goals that we can sneak one in the 85th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Been okay IMO, but it was painfully obvious how they'd score with a slick pass in behind. Problem is we can't win from behind, so if another goal goes in for them we're f***ed. Nah, if we keep our performance up a goal will come. Ba and Cisse look to have the better of their centre-backs. We've passed it well and got into good positions but are just lacking that bit of end product. One good final ball and we'll be in the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
