Terrible season 23:49 - Nov 23 with 24165 viewsmarchamjack

10th in the Premier League one place behind Man City. Laudrup out.

Some people on here need to wise up and grow a pair and stop the pathetic moaning ffs. Last few weeks have been embarrassing from some. Only happy when we're not winning. Rant over. Gonna finish my whiskey and go to bed

Talk of relegation shows total lack of any understanding of how good our team is and frankly how poor more than 3 of our rivals are. Fckn muppets.

Oh,..Dave, what's occuring?

Which is the point ive made over and over again is it not?

However prior tot his, people were well within their rights to be concerned. Im not entirely sure what you are arguing about.


No its the point you've ignored over and over again.

Easy to say that after a win and a good performance though isn't it.

As far as im concerned everyone is entitled to their opinion and the facts speak for themselves. We have been in terrible form since Feb. thankfully we are starting to look somewhat like our previous selves again, and even more positively - without Michu.

Lets keep it going.


My OP which was followed by very similar sentiments highlighting how nobody can complain about the last 2 games however the concerns were with the previous 30.

Have you just jumped in all guns blazing without realising the thoughts of the person you tried to pick an argument with?

Lesson hopefully.

"We have been in terrible form since Feb."

The very essence of your first post is utterly inaccurate. I guess that's a good place to leave it.

The classic post of someone who has no argument to the point being made.

He was basically arguing that our form has upturned, which is what i had said countless times previous.

However along the way he managed to allude that he thought that form is set by us over the last 30 games meaning there is nothing to worry about as we are performing as expected... Which of course means he believes our current squad is only valued as a survival/borderline relegation club.

Yes... Owned.

Yep we are doing ok.

But because we have a recent upturn of form doesn't mean those concerned during a time when we werent doing so well were incorrect to voice those concern, which the thread alluded to. Simple as that really and perfect sense.

Another case of playing the man not the ball.

I agree with Parlay but it is interesting...

at first those who critique our play a little more harshly than others appear the pessimists and those who think "we won, great, shut up" or "we are in the Premier League doncha know?" appear the optimists but when one goes deeper it is more the opposite. Those who think that generally we've been poor this year ultimately have more faith in the team. Those who think we've done well or O.K must not rate our team very much at all. Maybe optimists and pessimists are not the right words but I'm sure all but the deliberately obtuse know what I mean.

On a related point and sorry if this has been mentioned but I think Laudrup's tactics after going a goal up (or sometimes not even going a goal up) of dropping the tempo, retreating slowly backwards and not putting any tackles in are to blame for us conceding late goals and NOT any individual player. Martinez understood the importance of attack being the best form of defence for a possession based side like us who aren't great defensively.

So, prior to the League Cup final we were 8th, and we finished the season 9th.
This season we're currently 10th.


So, this 'prolonged period of terrible form' hasn't turned out too badly for us really has it, despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth. Best we just drop the whole boring point and just get on with it. February my arse.

So part of his tactics are after we go a goal up is to not tackle ?

That's interesting.

Interesting indeed. We just seem to shuffle backwards lethargically with little attempt to quickly close-down or tackle and we seem to lose our inability to keep the ball. We basically invite pressure, particularly aerial pressure that we are not really equipped to deal with. I saw it yesterday but we defended well. It can't be coincidence I don't know if it's an attempt to get everyone behind the ball or flood the defence or keep a certain shape but it doesn't appear to work for us?

The orthodox are always orthodox, regardless of the orthodoxy.

Why the fascination with including last season in any analysis? We were essentially safe in the league and had won a cup for the first time in our history. It's not rocket science to see why our form tailed off.

This season, we're unbeaten in Europe (having beaten Valencia away). On 15 points (averaging 1.25 a game) which should be 17 (1.42 ppg) had it not been for the shambles of a penalty last week & 5 points clear of relegation. Not sure how some people are still finding things to moan about.

I wonder which of those two camps you find yourself in? Not that I'm suggesting your post is self-congratulatory bullsh*t, but just wondering...

So the sherrif agrees with dimi.... what does shaky think on the subject?

And what is good Phaedrus, and what is not good. Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?

What utter rubbish. Simplistically put you are saying that people who disagree with you are harmful to 'your' teams ambitions, and that you are being critical for the good of the team.. ..balls.
