That post could have applied to both sides in the game.
Seriously?

We just won't score enough goals.
What are these 'goals' of which you speak?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...-clowns-at-Anfield-we-werent-having-that.htmlWe were in the game, absolutely. But we were so panicked whenever they got close to our box, anything could've happened really and it manifested itself in 3 conceded penalties.
Lamela was horrible in the game IMO. Yet more poor, low percentage balls and awful ability off the ball. As I've said before, tracking back and pressing isn't the same as running around quickly but awkwardly. He was at fault for the first two goals for me and at Arsenal.
He's almost matched his assist tally with goals he's been at fault for.
If "being in the game" means we were only a goal down, then fair enough. But we were far from looking likely winners.
At times it was panic stations at the back. Way too many mistakes against a team that will punish you. We look a long way short of top four material.

Jose says
"Obviously talent is so important.And how many points are you going to win based on talent? A lot. But how many points do you lose based on the qualities you are speaking about [character, strength]? You lose also a lot of points. So the balance is between the talent you need and these mental qualities, team qualities.
Yes seriously.Seriously?
Yes seriously.
If you didn't see this then I give up.
if you want to be negative about a manager's tenure in it's infancy then please put me on ignore, because quite frankly you know jack about building a team.
I'm not interested in the i want it now fanbase.
By all means discuss the negatives, but also the flip side warrants discussion.
Tell city or chelsea fans and Im sure they wont give a Fuck cos when your winning stuff No body bats an eyelid.
I find it strange that anytime We get beaten by one of the wealthy clubs some of our fans harp on about they are not real clubs etc,but that is total BS i say good luck to them.
If someone wants to be ambitious and spend his or hers money they why not its then down to others to keep up or shut up.
When Bill nick spent big in building the great double team i bet nobody moaned then and for the best part of our history we were big spenders even paying more wages for gazza than Utd could, so We have not right to preach about spending big.
We just won't score enough goals.
I'm afraid you've also missed the point which I and others have been making. Read my post again, and an earlier one, in which I said:
"With respect, I think you're missing the point that I and others (SK, PL1) are making. We're not objecting to wealthy clubs buying the best players and paying the highest wages. 'twas ever thus. The fact is that Manure and the Arse, for example, have - in my view - generated their revenue the right way: through attendances, sponsorship, advertising, commercialism, marketing etc., etc.
My objection to the Chavs and Oil Well FC is that their money - and therefore the trophies they've bought with it - hasn't been generated like that. Mansour and have used other people's money to fund their "my dick is bigger than yours" ego trip. Their money is tarnished which means the trophies they've bought with it also are.
I too am a "Greaves generation" supporter and would love nothing more than to see my club win the title just once more in my lifetime. But if we did so, having to rely on an Abramovich or a Mansour, it would definitely, for me, take the shine off it."
As for your points, I think you exaggerate when you say "...anytime We get beaten by one of the wealthy clubs some of our fans harp on about they are not real clubs." Again, I think you'll find they're referring specifically to Chelski and Man City. I don't recall reading any of our fans saying the likes of Man U, Liverpool or the Gooners are not "real clubs." Rather it's only when it's the Chavs and Oil Well FC... and I must admit I do find it surprising that you can "say good luck to them." I may well be wrong but I suspect that you are in the minority on this forum in wishing Chelsea and Man City good luck.
Finally, you say: "If someone wants to be ambitious and spend his or hers money they why not its then down to others to keep up or shut up." But that's the whole point. With regard to the owners of those two clubs, it wasn't their own money!
Probably the longest post I've ever made on here. Obviously have too much time on my hands today!
Then u either didn't watch the game or you've forgotten.And I'm sorry, but I don't recall a single moment when we had City's defence in a state of panic on Saturday.
Read any book about any top manager or coach and it is quite clear that they breed a "defend as a team" ethos, not defend if your'e a defensive midfielder or wide player. Look at any great side and all ten outfield players defend when they do not have the ball.
We just won't score enough goals.
Not saying you are wrong, but don't the rules state that if the defender is the last man and commits a foul it is a red card offence? If so, it has to be a red.
Penalty - Yes
Red card - No
I think Naughton was unlucky not to have been selected. What's he done wrong? I thought he was first choice and he's wasn't even on the bench.
Totally missed that.He's injured!
What is wrong with you ffs!
