Nope, not playing like that.
And the worrying thing is when they equalised , I would imagine a good percentage of us supporters just knew it would happen
I'd rather not , thanks
We'd still find a way to fuck it up
I had that ugly feeling at half time to be fair brother.
I loved the first half, dominating having some 8 corners, 10 shots ( 5 on goal ), etc, buuuuut going in at only 1 nil , I just felt it.
Sad state of affairs to be honest. We needed to bury those maggots in the first 45.
Made it worse by being a 5 am start down under.
The annoying thing about last night was we absolutely destroyed them for an hour, our passing was sharp we gave nothing away at the back and then we drop off give them a sloppy goal and we lose the plot for 15 minutes or so, but the underlying problem and it has been for a year now is we do not score enough goals when we are on top. We should have been 4 up at least by half time and 6 up by the time they scored. Ange was spot on with his analysis we need to be much more ruthless in front of goal
My concern was the last 3rd of last seasons results and performances would just bleed into this one. Seen it with Hoddle, Ramos and Poch. We either needed to adjust tactics or change 3 or 4 of the first team and we've done neither. I think after 2 pre seasons you expect to see an improvement. Of course there will be blips along the way but we've not been great since January. No one is saying sack him after 1 game, but i'd expect to see a pretty big improvement in the next 10 or so. Managers are judged on results you cant get through solely on force of personality.
But look just how vulnerable it was! Schoolboy error. That should not be happening with a top team with title ambitions, yet it has in one form or another since November. And I haven't as yet seen evidence to convince me that it will stop occurring.
Despite what Ange is saying, we don't not have title ambitions. The target is 4th. Don't kid yourself or allow yourself to be fooled.
Yesterday wasn't a systems issue although i don't like some of the things our centre backs did and that could possibly be because of the system.
During the first phase of the Leicester goal Romero had no business rushing to the Leicester player on the left hand side where Porro looked like he had the situation under control. All it did was cause Romero to be out of position for the 2nd phase which evidently resulted in the goal. Now this can be down to Romero himself but Ange needs to be making him aware that it wasn't necessary.
All Ange needs is a first XI of the best players on the planet to implement his visionary system and we’ll win the league. It's really that simple.
Agree, i mean for all the bluster thats Tottenham now, hoping to nick 4th. Trouble is we've won 4 of our last 12 league games, Luton, Forest, Burnley at home and Sheff Utd away. Even 4th looks a long way off at the moment.
Mate, I got myself into a positive mindset with a new season. Don't get me started again.
We did enough to win yesterday, and should have. For me I saw more that was reminiscent of our start last season than in the subsequent two thirds.
He's got to get us being more clinical or we (and he) will be in trouble. We have to score multiple goals to guarantee the win. One isn't enough for his system.
Playing like getting 60 touches in their penalty area?
Errors happen in every team, every game.
Agree. Romero wasnt at his best for the goal at all.
It makes fuck all difference if you don't do anything with it.
I seriously think you're just trolling now!
Yes, I even said in the match thread at half time that we needed to score another goal, as we’d might end up conceding and then we’d start panicking. Guess what happened…
I remember a similar discussion was around when Potter was rumoured to be our next manager before/after Nuno (can’t remember exactly). Brighton couldn’t finish for shit despite having a high xG. And people said it’s the players not the manager. But after Potter was replaced, that problem was fixed. I don’t fully agree that it’s solely on the players.
What different pattern? We scored a goal from a cross. It’s what we’ve done last season.
I think you’re overestimating the influence a captain has on the field. If it’s collective sloppiness what is that player going to do?
Uhh no? Leicester’s biggest chances came after transitions.
I’m not sure it has something to do with me when there are lots of other fans who say the same thing as I do. Like, say I’m not "open-minded", what about the others, are they not open-minded aswell? And what about you? Are you open-minded to the fact that maybe some issues we’ve had last season persist this season aswell?
