So Everton, Liverpool, Spurs and United all lost and Chelsea and City drew.
Mildly positive I suppose...

not for me. if we could have killed off sunderland and won today we would have been clear 2nd on 12 points.So Everton, Liverpool, Spurs and United all lost and Chelsea and City drew.

What odds on Sherwood back in charge before Christmas?Fair enough - if we getting a heavy beating next week I agree the pressure could start
At least he knew what to do against the lower teams. None of this 1 striker playing at home bollox.What odds on Sherwood back in charge before Christmas?
Was it A&C?Just listening to the radio where a 94 year old Spurs fan called in.
Season ticket holder who's supported Spurs for nearly 90 years said it was one of the worst performances at the lane that he's seen.
When the malignant dwarf appointed Poch to the seat of death a LOT of posters were suggesting we'd get the odd day like this, that Rome wasn't built in a day and how we'd have the occasional setback or two.
And so it comes to pass that it happens.
So i'm a bit surprised at the rush to stick our collective heads in the oven.
Not long back from the game.
What a truly disgraceful performance that was. No quality at all and even worse a disturbing lack of urgency or guts.
I've been saying all sumner that the players aren't good enough and nothing has changed my mind. We are just poor in the final third with no pace whatsoever and completely powder puff up front. Yet we saw fit not to make any attacking signings this window. Ridiculous decision.
This was our strongest line up as well attacking wise so God knows what will happen if we have an injury crisis.
Eriksen is our best outfield player, but he looks lost in this system, more often than not appearing on the right, where he has little effect.
We haven't bought a single player who can really make a difference and spent £10m on left back who cannot even pose a real threat to Danny Rose's place.
Yes we played pretty well at Sunderland, but a better team would have simply put the game beyond them and it's symptomatic of our lack of attacking potency.
On top of that our defence looks like you could drive a bus through the middle of it and all season we've consistently gifted players free headers in the box.
Oh well, it's only the gooners up next. If Criches plays I may well take a couple of valiums before kick off.
I have said us much in other posts. Poch probably thought Kaboul and Verts were good enough against the mighty West Brom. And they should have been. They weren't. I hope he doesn't get caught out again. I'm not that bothered about the captain's roll. There's not a leader amongst the whole squad and Roy Keane wouldn't have made much difference today.
Yes Poch is to share the blame. But the majority of it is against the players. They weren't interested, couldn't be bothered. I'll never accept that Poch said go and stroll around for 90 minutes boys and only pass 5 yards sideways!
Just logged on, who are we hating now? What thread can I read to avoid the suicidal ones? My 2 cents is that this is another season in transition. Please don't turn on the manager too quick. We need to stick by one for a while, y'know like, longer than half a season....
I meant fan pressure - I really don't think Levy will consider a managerial change this season since we've not really invested in this manager yetWhat odds on Sherwood back in charge before Christmas?
If those 7 or 8 player's played well the previous game, then what is the manager supposed to do?Well if arguably 7 or 8 out of your 11 starters played like they aren't interested it has to raise questions about the coach's selection ability and his motivational ability and that's my point, the easy way to avoid players strolling around is to not pick them, or to motivate them so that if they do play they at least put in effort and have some ideas of their responsibility.
