livermore to blame for the goal again! switches off doesnt watch the man on the edge = 1-1

Regardless of who is to blame for the conceded goal, fact is we were absolutely shit for 95 mins today. AVB looks like he struggles to motivate anyone. We look like Ramos's team in 2008 and even worse than the Chelsea team this time last year! Nothing good will come of his appointment as manager and the longer we let it go on the bigger the decline will be. I'm sorry for my harsh words Harry, PLEASE COME BACK! The grass is no longer greener

Awful performance. Can someone remind me what exactly was wrong with a team that played fantastic football and consistently challenged for the top four, to warrant sacking the manager?

We threw away a massive lead over fourth and thus missed Champions League football one year after a similarly disastrous run of games again cost us Champions League football; our best player wanted to leave last year and again this year which he wouldn't have necessarily wanted to do had we moved on from the massive success of finishing fourth with Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea in decline; the transfer policy was short termist at best and barely ever improved the Club (financially or staff wise); and the manager spent a good chunk of his time declaring to the media his interest in another job - going so far as to turn down contract talks before Hodgson was appointed only to want a new contract when he didn't get his dream job. Always strikes me as odd that the same people who claim to hate Modric can't see anything wrong with Redknapp trying to do a similar thing.

But no, let's ignore facts and hate the new guy - sounds much more productive.

Livermore... what can you say about him? Tackles like Scholes, gives away petty fouls like Barton and can't pass the ball forward.

What is he for exactly?

he is fucking useless mate, a lot of people give him a free pass because he is from the youth team, but if we bought him he would be getting the Jenas treatment to the power of 20. Christ at least JJ scored an average of 4 or 5 goals per season

and it terrifies me that AVB has kept him on for 90 in every game

as for defoe, lol. I really don't no whether to laugh or cry, signs a long term deal and he seems like our main go to guy if anything right now lol. I'm crying and laughin at the same time

aaron lennon, kyle walker oh dear

good thing i wont have to watch this shower of shit again for a long time now

1 upfront just dont work, it doesnt suit us, harry tried a few times n we looked the same, bamboozled n boring, no urgency no trying to push foward , we just look slow, slowing the game down and playing keep ball like in a friendly training ground drill....

DL... You have some explaining to do. Perhaps it's not your fault but it is your responsibility and an apology for a complete cock up would be appreciated.

Aparently its knee jerk if to think that when we sell modric vdv dont get badly needed cover in key areas, sack harry, dont back the new manager and turn in one of the worst home performances i've seen in donkeys years and think we may be in trouble... Let alone what I think which must be REALLY knee jerk which is we're completely fucked. Sorry for knee jerking.

We were poor agian today but we were actually far worse when we lost at home to Norwich last season.

Short memories.

Waiting all summer to sign an unfit Adebayor. That is pathetic management by the club. Kane and Defoe leading the line in pre-season friendlies. Why didn't we move earlier. Levy is soley to blame and we have to open our eyes to that!

If someone tries to tell me livermore is a good player one more fucking time i will lose it! Send him to derby where he belongs. Useless

for your information he never managed to break into Derby team, i should know i lived there, he wasn't rated at Derby

are you shitting me, better performance today :eek: only bloke that had a good game was Friedel and hes the only bloke the clowns managed to replace on transfer deadline day, we had nobody that wanted the ball in the middle, nobody with any heart wanting to get things moving. norwich had better movement, can't even be bothered to state the players playing well below there best, worrying thing is none of the players for me show any confidence in AVB tactics, as soon as we went back to 4-3-3 heads dropped again imo

If you watched the game against Norwich in March you would undserstand the comment

Take off your rose tinted spectacles - we hads a bad run of 10 games last season with poor/bad performances in many, including that Norwich game .

Chin up lads and lasses, players still to bed in, system to sort out. We were crap today, but did well in parts for the previous 2. Don't let your frustration get the better of you!

It sounds like Dembele was positive when brought on, and adding to the scoresheet is also a bonus. When we no longer have to start with 2 defensive mids (particularly Livermore) or Parker in his place, we may be able to build our rythm up again.

Lacked the creativity Modic and Van Der Vaart brought to our team and Moutinho could of brought. Honestly dont believe that we've performed badly, just that were not good enough.

Lurker here. What bothers me the most is that it seems that HR is coming of as a better footballing tactician than AVB. Atleast he understood the limitations of his players #whydefoewasbenchedlastyear. Hope I'm wrong, still have faith in avb to turn it around.
