Just watched the game after being back from work. My thoughts are much the same as everyone else's no doubt but I haven't read the thread.
On another day we would have scored 5 but this isn't going to help with confidence low. AVB needs to show what he is made of now.
Townsend needs some time out of the team. Frustrated the help out of me today. Constant poor shooting, poor passing, poor control, just generally poor. I don't mind him trying to do it all but we were dominating today so we needed a cool head out there.
Soldado didn't look sharp in the slightest and the fact he wasn't on the end of Eriksens cross early on puts pay to the "it's because the service is poor" comments. I'm struggling to work out what type of forward he is and if he is right for us. Hope it works out.
Lloris is essential, granted he can't score the goals but we wouldn't have lost today with him.
Vertonghen and Sandro are our best players, Kaboul needs to play from now on.
Subs are poor and not helping.
Our set pieces are the worst in the country and it's becoming embarrassing.
Our left side needs some identity. Lennon? Siggy? Lamela? Townsend? Eriksen? Are any of those players left wingers?
The crowd were poor today. Worse than the team. We got countered and then a keeper had a worldly. We made chances today and we played decent football in parts but the crowd booed at half time!
Lets hope now we are up against it and not expected to win that we can pull something out of the bag against city and Utd. Lose those and we will be about 10th and the pressure on AVB and the players will be at an all time high.
I'm a positive fan and I'm sure we look back at this season as a success but we need to be careful and work hard to find a working formula.
Sorry i've only read the highlighted bit, but when have we ever scored 5 under avb in the league? Ona nother day we STILL would've scored sweet FA
