A word with myself about what? I'm not schizophrenic, I don't talk to myself. I was replying to @guiltyparty from the previous page.Take yourself off to the stadium thread and have a word with yourself.

If Liverpool beat us in our first game at our new stadium i will never hear the end of it. Its going to be carnage. I really hope we batter them... please.
well at least now that can't happen, though we still might lose, bound too due to lack of transfers, we are doomed
You were right about one thing...you were being overly pessimisticGreat start! Glad my post window blues were unfounded and Harry scores in August!
I'm enjoying the fact I had relatively lower expectations this season and it's allowing me to just look at one game at a time without thinking too big picture and not worry about other teams games.
Harry's done that before last season too!
Yeah im not going to get over excited because it will be difficult later in the season when the mental fatigue from a lack of rest kicks in
Yeah im not going to get over excited because it will be difficult later in the season when the mental fatigue from a lack of rest kicks in and also because of our window its hard to see where the solution to our falling short in big games will come from so I wont get ahead of myself until we are in those situations and find a way to succeed.
Or yesterday, whatever.Kane isn’t a slow starter. He just doesn’t score while the summer transfer window is open.
All depends how you spin these things. See tomorrow how I’m right.
Fall short in big games? Some of last season results -
Won 4-1 vs Liverpool (h)
Won 2-0 vs Man U (h)
Drew 2-2 vs Liverpool (a)
Won 1-0 vs arsenal (h)
Won 3-1 vs Chelsea (a)
So only games against city we didn't get a win or points against. We did lose away to Man U, Arsenal and home vs Chelsea, but I don't call that falling short in the top games, one or two more draws or wins and that's impressive results imo.
F.a Cup semi final vs Chelsea - play better and dont get the win
F.a cup semi final vs United - Play better, go 1-0 up, fail to get a 2nd, concede, look devoid of ideas and lose
2nd Leg vs Juventus - Play better, go 1-0 up, fail to convert chances to get a 2nd, concede twice and look devoid of ideas
There's a pattern in those big moments, granted we have improved our results in prem games but fact is in the big moment in cup tournaments we have seen the same consistent pattern, hell half our team was the England team and the exact same thing happened vs Croatia.
To be fair you could say the same about practically every team except a tiny elite. United beat us but came up short in the final. Likewise Juventus went out. Liverpool did brilliantly to get to the Champions League final but failed at the final hurdle.

Yeah but I want us to get into that elite as I'm sure you do, I appreciate what you're saying that unless you win you're always going to have that 1 game but it's the fact our way of losing is such a consistent pattern of scoring, being ontop and not killing a game followed by conceding then being devoid of ideas. That's why I feel that we needed to find a solution in the market to give us a different dimension to get us over the edge but we will now need the players who have been following this pattern to find a solution in getting past it.
