Potato bread in your fry is a Northern Irish thing that an English breakfast could do with adding lol.

Did you see it? I'm curious as to Capoue's defensive contribution, and general play aside from the goal. If he can turn a corner in his attitude and alleged work rate concerns in training, I'd love to see him manage to contribute.
He wasn't prefect but as good if not better I've seen from any of defensive midfielders this season. Like you I really want him to knuckle down in training and put these kind of performances in week in week out.

Setting up two goals, both of them via quite intelligent play, is a good day for anybody. Unfortunately Soldado is one of those players that can have such a productive game yet still be lambasted by many on the basis that they were merely assists. In fact, had he scored twice, it would have simply been used to vilify him because it was merely a cup game.

He has a long way to go to prove his worth. He may never do so. But his job isn't to just score goals. It's to play football and he did a good job of that today. I think we should appreciate the day he had and hope it leads to more like it.

Missed the game, just saw the score, my only question is how responsible Kaboul was for the goals conceded?
He was so responsible that if he ends up in a trauma unit tonight, look no further than Messrs Vertonghen and Vorm. You could say that his play made the Vorm turn.

Bobby is finished at spurs. Although he got a couple of assists we scored four and as are main striker tonight he didn't even get one of them.

Really? I thought he played rather well. I only saw the goals on BBC, mind you.

Yup. The guy directly MADE two goals. If he's not scoring goals, the next best thing he can do is create them. Decent night for him.

Our fucking fault he's got the yips anyway ffs.

Woke up this morning, put on SC and saw we were 2-0 down.

Groaned.

Got to work, put SC back on to see us 4-2 up with small Paul, Vlad and Capoue scoring.

Heard a loud crash and looked outside to see if we were having another thunderstorm ... Clear Blue skies.

Came to the realisation that the noise was the sound of kitchen drawers slamming up the length and breadth of England as the knives were put away!

Cushdy.

Note: I reserve the right to use cushdy as English is a "live" language.

Thanks for that - BBC blocks commentary and goals for those of us outside UK.


Yes, very frustrating and I simply do not understand why they do that. If anyone can explain why they do this I would appreciate it.

I said a few weeks back when we were playing badly but scraping victories that as long as we're there or there abouts in the PL + cups once our play improves, then we're in with a great chance this season. Leicester (H) is very winnable as is Sheff Utd over 2 legs - If we can be in the final of a cup comp, the last 16 of another while still fighting for top 4 and European honours despite everything that has happened this season then we're doing bloody well. Our players get a lot of unwarranted stick, especially the fringe players (there seems to be an attitude of "if you're not world class, you're championship level, fuck off"), but these players are vitally important for us to continue over 4 competitions. Paulinho is a great example; many have written him off and want rid at basically any cost, but this is a midfielder who scored vital goals last season and can do the same again this season now that he's rested. If you can't get behind the whole team regardless of who plays, then you are a championship level fan and I sincerely hope you are the one who fucks off.

COYS.
While it's a very good post, haven't you constantly taken the piss out of Soldado for the last few months?

Having seen the miss, it's clear that he saw the keeper coming and tried to lift the ball over him, which was a clever thing to do as he would have got to a lower shot. However, he's trying to overcomplicate matters rather than play instinctively. He was vital to the goals that got us back on the road and killed off the game.

I've criticised him yes but I've never taken the piss out of him or shown any hatred for him. Yesterday (or whenever) I stated that I liked the bloke and felt sorry for him but the majority of my anti-Soldado posts have come in a debate between Ade/Soldado. My point in the post you quoted comes about because whenever the team is announced you just end up with a bunch of moaning 'fans', especially on the official page (where players are most likely to look) telling them how shit they are and how we should get rid of them for free. Furthermore, what's worse is fans at games who just sit there bitching and moaning about certain players, but that discussion is for another time. I don't like the "I pay my money, entertain me" attitude, nor the "These players are played thousands a week, he should score that". I never realised that being paid a lot of money meant that you weren't human and didn't make mistakes. These 'fans' that are vocal in their dislike for players who are playing for their beloved club, it's unreal and certainly going to be more detrimental than beneficial.

Sorry for the rant, but you get my drift. If you were constantly told how shit you were at your job, regardless of how much you're paid, it'd either affect your motivation or performances, or both. That's why I have no problem with players like Naughton picking up their wages each week and not playing. As someone on here a while back said, Naughton's only crime is not being good enough (and even that's up for debate based on what I've seen from Walker so far this season).
