Dave Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Important 3 points but let it not gloss over that most of the players on the pitch for us were or have consistently been shit all season. Darlow - makes he odd good save but punches when he should catch and is terrible coming to catch the ball. Yedlin - one of the few bright sparks. Pace with a bit of cop on is a dangerous thing in this league. Still gets caught offside too often. Lascelles - our most important current squad player. Someone to build a team around. Clarke - inconsistent, poor judgement sometimes. CB is a position we need to strengthen. Manquillo - his yellow card was a well timed one. Otherwise offered nothing all game and gave several corners away. Murphy - gaining more confidence, had a great second half with an assist. One of the ones who would really benefit from a solid midfield and forwards who have movement. Shelvey - fapped about, few passes up the flanks, no impact at all over probably the worst and slowest midfield in the whole league (apart from us) Diame - looked a bit more up for it recently but that can’t cover over how poor he’s been. Ritchie - looks knackered. Ineffective. Squad player for when we invest though. Atsu - should have scored but also looks tired and should really be playing out wide and not in the middle.. he’s one of the shortest players in the league.. expecting him to be winning headers is retarded. Perez - brighter today but again over a whole season has been poor. Again though, a player who will look better with better players around him. Gayle (apart from getting pushed over, anonymous) Dummett (half fit but still better than Manquillo) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 It’s not about glass half empty, but some on here saying Shelvey and Diame and some of the other passengers were class today. They really weren’t. It was a well earned win but he quality of the opposition was the main factor today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have had more, we had plenty of chances in the first half. If you can't see that or accept that you are an idiot or a WUM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebellious Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 So nice to see 22 points in the table. I got sick of the sight of 15, it felt like it was like it for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Aye f*** off all you miserable c***s. Apology accepted. Do fuck off the pair of you, and I say that with the utmost respect. No time for gloating or told you sos, let’s just enjoy a rare and vital win. Doubt anyone is unhappy today like. Sorry like. But when you call for a manager of Rafa’s calibre to be replaced, expect to be called on your bullshit on multiple occasions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Also, CB is probably the one place we don't need to strengthen immediately. I disagree like, if Lascelles gets injured we could realistically never win another Premiership game again I think we should definitely bring in an experienced no-nonsense centre back for the bench.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Actually just read back, bringing in a CB directly to replace Clark? Nah. I mean we could do with a replacement but it's hardly a priority, we're very solid with him and Lascelles in despite his shortcomings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavMcEl Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Fucking brilliant result today really thought we would get a point at best... I said before the west Ham game that 7 points outta 12 should be the target.... fucking great start to the new year ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That says more about how bad the rest of the team is than a need for more defenders imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we could do with a replacement but it's hardly a priority, we're very solid with him and Lascelles in despite his shortcomings. That's what I was getting at We do need to upgrade Clark badly. Sure he's keeping it tight, but his limitation on the ball is one of our biggest issues. With him and Lascelles at the back we are never comfortably retaining possession nor are we playing out quickly and decisively. So, he's gotta go asap if we want to really improve. Same goes for the fullbacks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
