I will keep it to one observation, didn't seem we were fast enough on the break. Looked like we were trying to do more patient build up than pushing up quickly at times where i would have expected more aggressive play moving forward.
I think Dawson is a good player, but he is not the right kind of player for this type of game and we have seen that time and time again. Kaboul is the right kind of player for this game, but maybe he wasn't fit. Rose is still young, and he may reach the right level but for me he is not good enough yet to be in our first team as a first starter, but given what we have right now I don't think AVB has a better option at LB.
His choice not to start with a creative midfielder was ok, but not to change that at some point, even 70 mins into the game, was very poor in my view.
This is nothing new. AVB did a few things like this last season as well. I think it is just an experience thing (he has less than three seasons experience as a manager don't forget) and eventually he corrected some of his mistakes last year, but he seems to repeat the same mistake a few times first for some reason, so I expect the same thing to happen this new season. Once he gets the team where he wants them to be, we will be really good I think.
honestly i think at the start it would of been a few boo's.....
I think whoever won would be smug and honestly i think that a lot of our fan's were really worried considering he haven't spent any money and were weary of Flamini so we were kind of relieved. can you honestly say if you won that you guys would not of been smug and of been louder in saying that the tide is turning and we are doomed?
Honestly, no, cos as I said, we seem to have our fair share of cunts too!
But personally speaking, I don't do gloating, never have.... I wasn't alone in feeling distinctly uncomfortable with all that 'Mind the Gap' shit the season before last, so at least I'm not being hypocritical when we do manage to muster a win once in a generation at your place!
I do anger pretty good when we lose mind you!
Whelp, I'm going to stop my simpering and do some shit to take my mind off of this performance.
Going to play some videogames to keep me entertained, then go work out.
I am a little confused why you tagged me and quoted Virginia spur...

Indeed, onwards for THFC. Most importantly, hope Capoue is alright though he might need time to recuperate. We'll just have to make do with Sandro :avblol:A new day, a new dawn.
