I think it's glaring, but no one wants to admit it.
Managerial naivety. We've seen it in nearly every game this calendar year.
It never looks like we've bothered to study the opposition, yet teams play us and know exactly what our weaknesses are.
Mr Harry struggles on a bigger pitch, Im afraid to say. He cant cover space quickly. At WHL its tight and suits his game. Those few extra yards on bigger pitches, don't bother some players but for Harry, its a few too many and defenders have those extra yards to pick up pace against him. Walker is better as with some others are. The size of the pitch shouldn't matter but does and will effect the naturally slower (professional level slow) players like kane.IMO, our glaring weakness which no one wants to admit is lack of a legitimate scoring threat. Most of Harry's goals are due to poke ins and PK's. He's an excellent striker but requires pristine service. We need a creator at the tip of the spear.
Everytime they crash out of a competition to teams they should be beating. They deserve the slack, what do you think Poch tells them in the dressing room? Do you think he's happyNo but you are slagging off the team for being "shit bottle jobs" every time they lose out on a trophy.
Yea, I've calmed down now and I'm not overly fussed anymore.Ok so a couple of days have passed. Looking back, I'm not that bothered about being out of the Europa cup, if we can now concentrate on securing second place in the PL, get to Wembley in the FA Cup, ideally win it and make Wembley ours for the next two seasons.
The biggest negative was Dele.

Gent supporting Mates and me were in the Spurs end, got into bit of trouble when the first went in as they started celebrating and then they realised about 150 people looking at them angrily lol. Rest of the game was spent in silent agony and stress while in your end it was absolute carnage.Hi guys!
I'm sorry about you feel embarrassed to have lost against us.
I met several of your fans and they all were class, except one dickhead who called our team sh*t before the game, but never mind that .
We are a bunch of supporters that like a bit of absurd banter, for us this feels insane.
After the second goal the scenes in our stands were truly fking mental. I started screaming uncontrollably for about 5 minutes at random intervals.
Lots of love from Gent!
Were you in the top tier nearish the half way line?Gent supporting Mates and me were in the Spurs end, got into bit of trouble when the first went in as they started celebrating and then they realised about 150 people looking at them angrily lol.

Nope we were in 115 just behind the goalWere you in the top tier nearish the half way line?
The problem is that the competition is harder this season and I think we will need more points than last year to get 4th or better.I think we've looked better in some areas, but not in others.
This season we've got 2 more points after 25 games than we did last season - winning one more and drawing one less. We've also scored one more (46 vs 45) and conceded one less (18 vs 19).
Last season, with our final 13 games, we won 6, drew 4 and lost 3.
Our final 13 games this season are:
H - Stoke
H - Everton
H - Southampton
A - Burnley
A - Swansea
H - Watford
H- Bournemouth
A - Leicester
H - Woolwich cunts
A - West Athletics Ltd
H - Man Utd
A - Hull
and then Palace was postponed, so shoe horn that away game in somewhere.
On paper, we shouldn't be dropping points to many there. How he handles those games will define what he's learnt this season.
Ah, okay. I only ask because the same thing happened up near me hahaNope we were in 115 just behind the goal

Is that a fact, or made up?
(clue: it's not a fact)
