Right so we can't score at home against week opposition.

Here's a thought. Now bear with me on this it's pretty drastic...


How about we play two up front?!


Your right its ridiculous.

I'll get my coat.

its like we are stuck in a loop. every period of play looks the same. pass it around the centre of the park, get down the byeline, fake to cross, turn inside, pass it across the park in 20 passes, down the byeline, fake to cross, turn inside. pass it across the park

fuck off.

Christ... You guys are so fucking boring with all your moaning.

We're playing a team from Moldova and we've had one shot on target. Some moaning is fair. The only positives from that half were Lamela and Capoue.

We're not playing badly but were hardly playing well. We've got a lot of the ball but not had any clear cut chances. The keepers made one save.

It will come in the 2nd half, the difference is that our build up play is a lot better.

Just a thought... teams have to have a certain number of homegrown players for European competitions. How many of Sheriff's umpteen Brazilians grew up in Transnistria?

@MirrorDarren: Spurs fans chant: "Let's pretend we've scored a goal!". Then start cheering wildly. The chant: "1-0 to the Tottenham". Different.

Our wide forwards spend too much time playing as midfielders and not enough playing on the backline like strikers. Allways wanting to pick the ball up in front of the defence instead of asking for it in behind
Think Lamela has held the width quite well and stayed unpredictable s to whether he´ll cut in or go down the line.

At some point surely Avb is going to realize that every single team that comes to WHL is going to set up the same way.

Its not a coincidence. Time for your plan b avb. Question is, do you have one?

If he had one, Then we would of seen it by now. He is playing a dangerous system....If Sheriff could finish eh!!

Still, at least my heart in nice and calm. Far less stressful watching us play these days and I'll never feel anything but gratitude for that.

every team we play cant be giving a defensive masterclass. there must come a point we accept we are just really easy to nullify and actually try something new.

Lamela need to play no.10
He looks up for up it.
He drifts infield all the time looking for the ball.
move him center and erikson left and siggy right, or sub siggy for holtby.

I've actually enjoyed that mostly. We just miss the final ball, but otherwise we're surging towards them and trying to find a way through.

Lamela has been exceptional. Capoue excellent considering 1st game back. Dembele, Verts and Kaboul solid.

Eriksen looks like he's struggling a bit and Naughton is doing his usual. I'd like to see Chiriches on for Naughton, maybe push Verts left or try Vlad there. If Eriksen doesn't pick up by 60 minute mark then bring Holtbyon for him.

Lamela starting to show some razzle dazzle, such an exciting talent. The only one who has looked likely to make anything happen. Eriksen on the other hand is looking dazed, some really poor passing. I have faith tho. Despite the 0-0 am actually really enjoying the match.
