But we weren’t shipping goals when we had our best defenders in the game? Until they both went out we had conceded some of the least goals in the league!
We were conceding in every game, our clean sheet record is appalling under this manager.

Our 5 first choice front players plus first choice midfielders minus benta all available last nightWhat did our attack do? They are just as much to blame as the defence

Separate issue but from the moment Sterling dived in FK range in the first minute, it was clear Hooper was going to give them as many set pieces as he could.
That corner he was looking right at it and you could hear 2 noises so clearly on the TV so he definitely heard it.
And woolwich game plan was so clear, try to get a lead in the first half from set pieces and their press, use all their energy on that and then survive the second half with time-wasting and 10 men behind the ball. It wins but it's utter dirge. I get the PL think they need a Liverpool vs woolwich title race for ratings but the sacrifices they are prepared to make on the product to get it are risky IMO.
I doubt there is a neutral in the world who is going to spend their time watching any of the 3 teams at the top of the table right now.
Never said the ref lost us the game, we lost the game but he was whistling the game to perfection for their game plan.The ref didn't lose us that game. Even with Pierluigi Collina in the middle, we still get humiliated and don't lay a glove on them.
Entirely possible he didn't even hear that double tap. TV ain't a good judge, you hear things different irl.
Hooper is a bent incompetent cunt, but 1/ they all are 2/ it was men who understand what a NLD is all about vs scared little pussies who don't give a shit about anything other than their wages, wardrobe and social media following.
Our chairman is a joke. As is our coaching & playing staff. That's your starting point. Wouldn't even need to worry about refs if we had our ducks in a row to begin with. You know, like the 8th richest club in the world should.
Cause Ange knows best. Always.
I do agree with you on this oneNever said the ref lost us the game, we lost the game but he was whistling the game to perfection for their game plan.
The problem is, that GS and Goals conceded stat, whilst on the face of it was impressive, it was also totally skewed results-wise...But we weren’t shipping goals when we had our best defenders in the game? Until they both went out we had conceded some of the least goals in the league!
Hummmm say what?!?!?!?!
Agree, the way we wilt and fold makes it easy for referees to give decisions against us. We have nothing about us at all.The ref didn't lose us that game. Even with Pierluigi Collina in the middle, we still get humiliated and don't lay a glove on them.

What is the TC?Walking back home after drop off, saw a kid with his Spurs scarf proudly around his shoulders. Little hero. Probably around 11 years’ old. School will not be fun for all the young loyal lilywhites today. My eldest included.
The bubble of the TC will never understand what the fans live and breathe every day. They have their 5* catering, luxury spa, Mr. Mediocrity Uncle Dan to cuddle up to, a strange fat wizard with crazy ideas who has somehow landed the manager job to keep everyone entertained with his hilarious wacky ways of playing kicky ball.
It’s grim in North London.

Nope I see what I expected to see. Still didn't like watching it though.So for everyone who was not going to be surprised by a win or actively expecting us to win last night were you even a little surprised we lost??
It’s a genuine question.
I’ve been pummelled into the ground by this fixture. I expect absolutely fuck all from it.
So never surprised when we lose. Or just play shit.
I like big Dom, I respect his attitude and he'd 100% score more goals if he had proper players next to him.Solanke is considered a problematic purchase for us? He's the best big money we've spent in years.
We're not getting relegated. We could name Son player/manager and we wouldn't get relegated.

He thinks both teams were quite even....lmao. Honestly, we have some clueless fans out there.
IF we could get a decent leftback in this window(yes i know we're not gonna), i would be very tempted to play Spence at RB the rest of the season.I agree . Porro can't defend for shit. He's a disaster in every aspect of defending.
We have far too many players that are useless off the ball and total pansies.
