We've discussed this before so I respect your opinion but honestly I don't want to read people calling poch a "school boy" or our players a "disgrace" anymore then you want to see people calling it out
People can feel as upset as they want and I understand it but why abuse players, how does that prove loyalty to the club? Why are people who call players who've obviously given everything "shameful" anymore of a fan then those that are upset, but able to take a reasoned view of it and then have to sit through pages of shit about "bottling" rather then actually discussion about the game.
If anything it seems like people were waiting for our 17 game unbeaten run to come to an end so they could be fucking negative again
Literally there's already a fucking thread up saying we've got no leaders. We were inches away taking that to extra time, are 4th in the league and finished 2nd last year but have no leaders? That's not just stupid it's factually incorrect.
Be sad but don't be ****s (not saying you personally have been)
I agree with you, personal attacks are really just people venting their emotions so I don't want to judge people to harshly here from either side, I think in the heat of the moment we are all capable of being irrational.
I think we are all just upset right now and rightfully so, I think that there is merit in the argument that we lack the ability to get over the line on occassions like this and I like to think that eventually these moments will turn for us as we grow together as a team, the only problem in modern football is that time is not something normally afforded and if we want to keep this squad together, as much as it pains me to repeat the shit the pundits do, we really do need to start winning things.
I think Poch needs to grow as a manager as well, tactically he was outwitted tonight after Juve made the changes and that's something he needs to improve upon if we ever want real success as a club.
The reason I am so personally upset tonight is because I know we are a better side than Juve, we played better than them over the two legs and we didn't deserve to go out but when push comes to shove they had that winning edge mentally when it truly counts that we really need to gain as a squad and a football club.
I agree with you, we do have leaders in the squad, that much is evident, we just need, as a squad, to drag ourselves out of games like this, by hook or by crook.
I don't think people are waiting for us to lose so they can be negative though, I think that's just emotional reactions based on how they are feeling, I mean you would have to be pretty pathetic as a supporter to want to see us fail, why would you even bother watching football?
I would agree though that some people expect failure from us and I think that's because it's been so long without any silverware, I think a lot of older supporters just want to see us get over the line, maybe even just to prove to themselves more than anything else that we have actually truly turned a corner once and for all as a club so they can let go of the anxiety of us failing when we need to make it count the most.
