Thanks chum.

With the Liverpuddle game coming up, we need a full complement of defenders to choose from, without losing any more to injuries.

I've only just finished watching the game cos I was at the Ice Hockey this evening.
Some thoughts.
Nolito really is not very good.
Nacho should have been playing every game in Sergio's absence.
Yaya was superb from the off.
Sagna was rank.
Sterling is such a mixed bag.
Very decent result that was starting to look unlikely.
We only have one player of the quality of the old guard that are reaching their natural end and that is KdB. ( Although one or two others have a chance)

No he's saying only one player approaching their prime isof the quality of the old guard!

It got better...

Nolito was appalling, I thought. As bad as Yaya was good. He's some footballer is the big man.

I always stop reading when I see you commenting on wingers. You simply don't understand the concept and what is expected of them.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

I think Nolito has been good this season but he was poor yesterday.

It was the right move to replace him.

Nolito wasn't great but the stat carries on, 9 league starts, 9 league wins now. To give him his due he did manage to work himself some decent positions to have a crack but just like Silva he was found wanting when he took the shot on. He hit one absolutely brilliant corner that had someone been attacking the back post they'd have had a simple headed chance.

As for Sagna, don't get you, he did his job well enough and cleared brilliantly off the line which seemed to be the turning point in the game.

I find it sad that we've got to the stage now where we can't even enjoy a win in our strive for perfection, it seems it's all or nothing these days.

Nice one No.64. :D

However, you can come along and join us if you want but, in view of your renowned alcohol consumption, it might be a good idea if you brought your own supply along with you.

Sagna read that situation immaculately, but he had a poor game. I made some observations, that's all. It was not a perfect performance by any stretch, in fact it was very frustrating. We lacked cutting edge and that is largely, in my opinion, due to having no natural striker on the pitch.which was easily remedied.
On the plus side Yaya showed how good he still is. Otter made some good tackles. The defence looked reasonably sound, Bravo included.
In my opinion, a poor team selection made tgat harder than it needed to be.
Nine wins out of nine? It's an impressive stat on the face of it. But Nolito really doesn't deserve any credit from that performance.

I reckon Bravo had a shocker Piccs. He looks totally devoid of confidence. I think he had two shots straight at him the whole game but if he was put under more pressure he would have wilted.

Having written that, I hope and expect him to pull out that one game that turns everything around for him. Hopefully that will be the dipper game.

Apart from that one fuck up where he was all at sea, what else did he do wrong? I actually thought him coming for and making another punch later in the game showed that he didn't let the earlier fuck up affect his confidence.

It was lots of little things. He wasn't tested too much in the game that saved his bacon but his positioning and decision making was just poor.

That punch was the only bold decision he got right.
