For those of you who went to the game today, you jammy gits!!!!, you just witnessed something special. What a game, I only saw bits and pieces of it cause the stream kept breaking down but I got to see all the goals at the end on another stream. What a player we have on our hands in Berbatov. He must be kept at all costs. How cheeky was his 3rd goal? Genius.

While we were excellent going forward, the defending at times was shocking. It doesnt look like we've improved much there at all, 5 goals conceded in two games at home is still not good enough, but hey, 6 points out of 6 isn't bad.

As it stands, we're 9 points off Europe, it can be done.

What a game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap:

A terrible defensive performance, if Reading had taken their chances the game would have been over for us. I don't know what Ramos can do to improve this. Against better teams we'd be slaughtered.

There's so much to say about that game. If one likes to put a positive spin on things, lots of negatives, and if you like to put a negative spin on things, plenty of positives. No-one could have seen a scoreline like that.

I feel a little sorry for Reading, to be fair. Twice they've scored four goals in a game and still lost. Not too sorry of course.

As for Berbs. Fantastic! Hopefully, he'll have got his eye back in, and he'll start banging them in again. Worried about Keane though. Gone a bit dry. I hesitate to say it, but perhaps he needs a break from first team action in favour of Defoe. Defoe's scored in three of the last four, so perhaps a runout is on the cards?

Is this the same Keane that scored 2 goals in the last game? He can't score in every match!!!

Free headers inside the 6-yard box should not happen. it is alright saying that Hudd lost his player, but Robbo should be catching crosses a yaryd from goal

WHAT A GAME! What a player we have in Berbatov!:bowdown:

Once again, Ramos shows us how a head coach should make changes that impacts the game. Defoe was a great choice of substitution.

For fans who talk about us scoring a century of goals last season, don't be surprise if we surpass that again this season. 11 goals in 2 games. Amazing!

Typical knee-jerk reaction? The defensive performance while atrocious, is also very much against the grain of recent performances.

Did Ars***l slaughter us...I'm assuming you don't think Reading are better than the Goons?

2nd penalty saved in a roll though so maybe we should give it to berbs. Lucky for us Defoe was there but I think he was actually encroaching....one decision going our way this time.

about keane and the pens.

let berbatov take them.

nothing against keane though, played alright today, one assist (well, actually two since he assisted defoe's goal), won a penalty.

Lets not overly judge our defense after todays game. For that matter, lets not judge the attacking, coaching or goalkeeping either.

Today's game was a freak of nature. Usual methods of football went out the window.

Well.

Ramos lost the plot a bit in this game. You play Jenas and Boateng in the middle when fit. I couldn't believe he took a fit King off. Unreal game.:beer:

Ramos lost the plot by taking King off? Well, we won so that shows whatever he did worked which means he does know what he is doing. It's not the first time he's done such substitutions and not the first time it has worked so it's definitely not luck. He's the real deal with tactics my friend and pay him some compliments for changing the game around once again and winning the game. He put Defoe in and he created the first goal and scored the second. That's what I call an impact. And by increasing our attacking ability as we simply cannot defend in this game, we put Reading the back foot instead and prevent them from skinning through our paper thin defence.
