Thread: Whilst yetserday was a much better watch

    Whilst yetserday was a much better watch

    and it was nice to see a little urgency and pace in attack, I couldn't help feeling that we look a little, well, fey.

    Norwich aren't exactly peal-Pulis Stoke, are they? Yet our players seemed extremely lightweight in the tackle.

    And, riddle me this: how is it possible for the opposition to simply jog through the centre of our defence, take their time to pick a spot, and then pass the ball into the goal, without anyone making a challenge? Twice? How is that possible?

    I think I didn't realise just how low we have sunk.

    Same muppets who buried Arsene imo

    Still stick to my belief that you win and lose games in midfield.

    There was no waltzing through the back line with Parlour, Vieira and Petit there.

    Everyone's so comfortable in possession these days that you don't want to get mugged off diving into challenges, so nobody teaches tackling anymore. Not even Fat Sam apparently.

    Blame football video games.

    We look like a bunch of mincers*, that's what we look like.

    It's a shame Keown isn't the defensive coach, he seemed to have all the answers on motd2, then again most people watching would have as well.

    cos our defending consists of retreating further and further back towards our own goal without making any sort of challenge thus enabling the opposition to get within goalscoring distance.

    No wonder Leno had such a good game.,
