People might find this a bit odd, but this is the most I've enjoyed watching us play in a long time.
Put the goal to one side... we've looked composed and in control.
That's the overriding sense I'm getting.
Enjoying this.
Still there to win if we sort out our forward flanks.
Oh yeah, what’s your opinion on winning today?Pretending that the fact that we were utterly abysmal for the final 3/4s of the season doesn't matter because we were unusually good for the first 1/4 before the league sussed out our 1 trick pony manager with zero experience in a serious football league? I haven't picked out a chunk of poor form in that statement.
And the statement was made in the context of Ange having to prove he's better than that final 3/4s of last season, and climb above Villa thus the importance of today's match.
It doesn't appear at this point he is capable of it. We're currently 4-1-4, basically the exact same form from that final 3/4s, and losing at home to Villa - the club we needed to climb above to show improvement.
I'm not putting any emphasis on what we accomplished Aug-Oct 2023, because I haven't seen any indication this squad with this manager is capable of replicating that form. I've seen a lot of indication that all this squad with this manager is capable of is what we've seen from Oct 2023-Oct 2024. A full calendar year of football isn't "cherry picking" results to fit a narrative.
All those charts, and the pages and pages of gobbledygook remind me of a detailed horoscope reading my wife got years ago. I reckon the horoscope reading was more accurate...and it was complete bollix.Jesus Christ...
This is why modern football is dying...
Did we win or not? YES!
Did we deserve to...? Probably!
Did the stats say we deserved to??
I GENUINELY don't care!
Yes, great...
No, so what, we still won!
Heat maps and stat attacks make no difference...
Had we lost, I'd be pissed off... ESPECIALLY of we deserved to win...
But we won, so I don't give a Nun's cunt if we deserved it or not ..
I think we did ..
Stats might prove otherwise...
But who gives a shit?
3 points... We beat Villa
.. time wasting, dirty dark arts Villa!
We beat that!!
GOOD!
Spot on. Play all three but you need Drag - he’s a defender, the other two are good footballers that can defend iTbh since dragusin has played weve done well. More prgrammed as a defender than the trendy demand of defenders bringing out from back. VDV is the crown jewel but wouldnt mind seeing vdv and dragusin as defensive partnership for a few games.
Jesus Christ...
