I love the control, keeping the ball and passing it on the floor, we just need to thread some more balls to Soldado. The fella is always making himself available and I just want to see him get a couple goals from open play.
When we went on this spending spree and with all the talk about depth I couldn't help harking back to when we had similar competition for places. I think it may have under Martin Jol and it might have been the CM positions or the four strikers we had at the time (Keane, Defoe, Mido, Berbs?)...
I really like AVB and hope he's here for a long time. I loved him running half way down the pitch in the dying minutes on Sunday to make sure the throw-on went into the box. My worry is that the press are gonna be bastards if we have a few bad results and that stuff will spread to our fans. It...
Great post OP. Shared my exact sentiments. It's annoying seeing people getting giddy over Ozil. He is a great player and of course I'd have loved us to get him but people seem to forget they already had a world class player in Van Persie, someone who directly led to a ton of points, so I don't...
Bale can't speak speak Spanish so he tried to show his appreciation and happiness in a way universally understood by their fans by kissing the badge.
I'm sure most people here at some point have moved onto better jobs, for money, career progression, fulfilment etc. Now while working for your...
I'm a shit football fan in that I rarely watch any team other than Spurs so I never had any opinion about any of our signings before they came here. Judging from the hype Lamela, Eriksen, Paulinho and Soldado should be great signings and must surely make up for Bale. I'm hoping AVB can get this...
Our decision making is still based off of having a Peter Crouch in the box: getting to the by-line and making percentage crosses, unless Paulinho is in there that is just a waste of possession cause Soldado is not gonna be winning headers against CB's 6 inches taller. I'd want to see us playing...
If he's playing as a lone striker I want him in the box where others know he will be. He just needs it played at his feet. It's the others who need to make more runs so they can pull away defenders from him.
It's funny how attitudes have changed in the last 48 hours, suddenly we've bought a bunch of duffers and the scum are gonna be miles ahead after we lost 1-0 and they buy Ozil. Give us time.
I was looking back at some old squads and in 2005/06 this was our squad:
Robinson
Stalteri
Gardner...
We've been this way for years, we find it difficult to play quick one touch passing in the final 3rd and rely on the wings too much. I had deja vu today with the crosses going into a smallish striker as we did it loads to Defoe in the past. We need to get through the middle with some pass and...
I agree our defense hasn't been the best but the issue is Bale scored so many of our goals, most of them worldies. We need to take this as a freak occurrence and not something we should expect every season Bale stays with us.
