Agree, but it is not helped by Poro bombing 40 yards forward to press then leaving a giant fucking hole in defense. Is it the player who is so I'll disciplined or does the manager make him do it? Surely Poro must know the giant risk he is taking if the ball is turned over.

You’d think so but he keeps doing it so must be instructions

Yes because it's a continuous pattern, seen it many times before, Spence did it to Trent in the Liverpool 6-3 match just before they scored the 3rd.

It's high risk high reward football because we nearly got the ball and nearly led to an attack - 89 minutes though when you're holding onto the lead is mental though.

That was on the sideline around the halfway line.

We do play high risk, high reward and it does cost us at times but that was just Porro being a nutter.
 
We won. That matters. But this is the opposite of a get out jail free card for Levy and Ange.

Having Kulu and Son play so long even though we are 2-0 up, shows our lack of Game management. If anything, it's convinced me more that Ange must Go.

For the entire season I have told everyone that we would get spanked in games where it mattered when we faced actual quality teams. And we have.

Are our best wins vs Utd and City in the Prem so far? Vs Pool in the first leg of the league cup?
City were in an uncharacteristically poor run at that time, and Utd poor generally this season.

It's nice we won this game but it can't be given too much weight when judged against our other results. Fair play, we march onwards.
 
Good to get a win, pretty good first half, a lot of them looked dead on there feet second half, good finish from Sonny to see us home. Thought Davies and Bentancur were good and We have some great youngsters

It's happened all too often for it to be random mate.

He's always way too high which has got to be instructions.

His position before he went on the 1 man mission is a fair criticism of Ange ball. i don't know who had or hadn't rotated to cover his position but still, there isn't a need for him to invert and be high at that time in the game.

The decision to go on a wrecking ball mission was all Porro tho. And nobody would have even commented if he hadn't
 
The main problem is coaching or lack of it. How many goals andchances have we conceded from a ctoss to porros side. Its mind boggling how nearly every game is absolute chaos. Well coached teams dont allow it
