The formation was fine till Keano was sent off.

Also should have put KPB on instead of lee- Lee did jack shit.

I disagree, mark my words Ramos will not play that formation again with the same personnel in midfield. It was a recipe for attacking football yes, but we would always concede at least 2 goals playing like that.

A few games from midseason and you still talk about early season. When is this gonna stop......april??

Well yeah. We can only consider relegation towards the end of the season if we're still in this position...

LOL. so because my opinion from you differs and i believe he`s lost the plot, if he does jump ship, its all my fault? ROFL.

And as for the dude below your post, give yer head a shake buddy.

I do not question Berbatovs obvious class or skill, thats never been a question.

TBH I can't take any more of this shit.

I'll leave you to fight amongst yourselves.

CM? what about that.

Formation was wrong today. The midfeild was lightweight and it was very much defence or attack.

Towards the end i couldn't even tell you what formation we were playing, it all got so messy and people all over the place. Bent did well first half, thought he brought the ball down well and layed it off when we had people running from deeper.

The CMs are not great but they are not shit, unlike the CBs.
Spurs played on Thurdsday having to come from behind. Spurs dominated most of the game, created far more chances, had to play with one man less thanks to a poor referee decision and tired in the last 15 minutes of the game.
I think it was an encouraging perfomance, and it wasn't easy to create so many chances against a packed defense. Birmingham were very lucky.

I agree that as a team we're not good enough defensively. Well our defenders aren't either. But I think a lot of goals that go in could happen to any team regardless of how good they are defensively.

You see goals like todays don't happen to the best teams that often and especially not 3 in one game. It's not bad luck it's bad defending.

Bale..noone else is close

I forgot about Bale, but he also plays a lot in left midfield. That is why I did not name him....

Why do you only rate black players ?

It's a point that has been raised before and a valid one at that.

It's a mixture then. :up:

The last one was definitely luck though. I'm not even gonna consider that was bad defending.

yeap, no closing down and we are inviting them to shoot.

How many times do we get the time and space to have a shot like that?

early in the season we're fucking 4 months in

at the VERY EARLIEST, you could say that in february, having seen how we conducted ourselves in the transfer market and how we remedy the current problems.

but now, before any of that has happened is just plain premature

The most telling stat to me after the scoreline was the one that Sky had that we've only kept 4 clean sheets in the last 53 premiership games. I didnt realise it was that bad.

It ain't - Sky said last 43 !

Is he? can you predict the future. Hopefully he will settle in after an awful start but he may not be given time.

No, I do not only rate black players, but the fact is that both Samba and Sagna are probably the best defensive buys. Bale is also a very good buy, but I see him as a left midfielder.

Ronaldo at Man Utd is probably the best player ever in the Premier League, and also players like Cantona and Ginola were fantastic. They are all white, and I rate them highly! There are a lot of others aswell!!

Typo - sorry, its still a shit stat though. If we continue like we're doing it will be 53 before long.

Sadly Joey for the few people who can see this and have been banging on about for at least the last year and a half, this statement will once again fall on deaf ears. :-|

completely in agreement

CaptainCat · Dec 2, 2007

Pretty much any other day (with another referee perhaps), we would have won that game 6-0 with that same formation. The formation was definietly not to blame for the loss.
