Is that combined what Timo Werner is on per week??

Are you saying if we paid our players that 'paltry amount' each week, they'd perform better???
 
I'm still dumfounded by Ange's post match comments about not deserving to win...

In that case, why didn't Brighton take the same approach after a first half THEY didn't deserve to win...?

What they did was tweak tactics, utilised substitutes (albeit one enforced one early on) and CHANGE the course of the game... It is allowed!

Rather than accepting their fate and giving up like we did.

They were in a worse position at 0-2 down than we were at 2-3 down, and yet THEY could find a way to turn it around...

Why the fuck couldn't WE?

STILL FUCKING HURTS... and now we're in an International break, there's no game to immediately put it right!

Wouldn't it have been nice to just come away with a comprehensive win to satisfy ourselves with going into 2 weeks off...?

But NOOOOO, we can't have the nice things, can we?!

Fuck it all!
could have been worse

Tbf I've not seen anything remotely goonerish about his posts, unlike some of the Woolwich scum that are hiding in plain sight on here....🤷‍♂️
Probably just coincidence!

well considering ive been here before he joined Woolwich, and on SC before havertz even played in England and that it's not even an anagram of the name, well it seems for some weird reason Kai is living absolutely rent free in his mind. he's not even that good of a player to be traumatized by :ange-facepalm:

Yeah I know... I'm clearly just straw clutching in a vain attempt to fathom exactly WHAT happened to us last Sunday!!

No offence meant... I'm sure you're one of us...
Even with the weird username!
 
3 days to calm the fuck down so I can type something vaguely coherent.


BOLLOCKS. As a team we are up there if we don't have to think. If we have to think we lose all impetus and confidence. We have a lot of 'Leaders' on the pitch so they keep telling us. Didn't see any of Sunday when the tide turned. Saw boys when we needed men. Including Cutti who I love.

Easy to show fight when you're winning. Show it in adversity.

I still feel fucking punch drunk!

I know what you mean...

Romero, Bentancur, Maddison, Kulu. .. they could all be (and in some cases ARE) captains Internationally, so why can't they transfer THAT leadership to OUR team?

It defies logic!

Porro too easily beaten on our right and poor defending when the ball came over.

Still can't comprehend the about 180. They were battered for 45 minutes. They are going to turn out pumped.
Win everything for 5 minutes to let their HT talk leave them.
Fucking played like headless chickens.

The video posted by erlee erlee shows that Brighton overloaded Porro in the 2nd half and that Bentancur was overloaded whilst Johnson and Maddison were not doing enough defensively and positionally.
 
While you can expect opposing teams to attack you even relentlessly at occasion ... it looks like we crumble into pieces as soon as they apply the slightest pressure.
What helps players keep their heads cool while their team are under pressure is having a solid tactical foundation, an unconscious routine of knowing exactly where to be and what to do depending on different scenarios.
It looks like, on the other hand, our players are all over the place, they have no idea where they should be and this is why we crumble upon little pressure.

We should have gone to 4-5-1 after their first with Biss replacing Bentancur but fuck all happened!!

Still seething mate!
 
can't believe we are repeating last 2/3 of prev season.
I thought ange/management learnt, tweaked & adjusted?
It's worst - we don't even have that great flukey start - unless we barnstorm home in the latter half of this season

we got rid of a dozen non ange-baller e.g. Hoijberg, Gill, Emerson, sessegnon and Schippy
