Jase 43,479 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 51 minutes ago, Pizy said: It's like we expected them to give up after conceding so late in the first half. Instead, they came out and did the opposite and took the game to us. We have no controlling midfielder who can take the game over and settle the side down with Matic and Kante. Cesc is the only one who can do so in our squad which is a problem. We also weren't helped by the fact that the ref called every ticky-tack foul against us and we got none ourselves. I was fucking raging! Every time one of our players would lightly graze a Hull player Swarbrick would blow his whistle. This may seem odd to say considering we're 8 points clear, but we could REALLY do with a midfield signing. Makes you wonder what Conte said at HT because we certainly came out asking for trouble. Doubt he's a manager who would ever get complacent but the second half was performance was definitely frustrating and perhaps even worrying.

Don't let the second half shadow this. It wasn't good but they managed to score a second to hold on to the game on a weekend where most of our rivals dropped points. All from a team that many (including myself) thought would be locked in a battle for 4th or 5th place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not to say that we don't need a signing or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 This was a real professional job today. It wasn't 4/5 like some thought but it was another dig in deep performance that made me delighted and some media furious. Let's have a beer.

Liverpool seem to beat top teams and loose to weaker teams thats their problem. Since we our a top team we will have to be careful especially when going away to anfield.

Footballover 222 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Delighted for this win!!! Can't stress how important that was for us. I don't care how we played today and I don't really care how we will keep playing. It's more important to be mentally prepared for these kind of games, because this is what will win us this title now. We are limited in many aspects of our attacking and possessioning game especially compared to City, Spurs and Liverpool but we have the killer instinct and quality to kill off these lesser sides (and of course the five at the back proved to be a real rock). We can lose 4 (!!!) matches and still finish the season with 90+ points so we can theoretically afford to lose the big ones we have left. Generally I don't like this approach but I do believe we have such a limited squad and Conte gets 120% from the players. If someone told me we would be on the track for 90 points at the start of the season I would have called him mad... We will have trouble later on and we have very very difficult away matches. I am not comfortable even when minding the 8 point gap. I really really hope we can pull it off though, it will be something out of this world.

Johnnyeye 7,510 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 about the game, massive 3 points and a clean sheet for us, it wasn´t easy to kill the game much sooner, props to Hull tough who gave it a go and made it difficult for us, great to see Costa was immense and back to his scoring self, Courtois was huge between the posts today, another clean sheet for him, major favorite for the golden gloves imo, the defence was very solid today, Hazard had an off day, it happens, but i hope to see him at his best against the scousers. Since our rivals dropped points this weekend our win is a massive boost for us to go further points clear of the chasing pack, all this heading to the next fixture against Liverpool in what can be a major title decider.

BoyBlue96 990 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Just saw the update regarding Ryan Mason. Holy shit I hope he's going to be okay.

Fernando 6,585 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Vital 3 points. Because if we lose next two games at least we will still have some points ahead. But I believe we can beat Arsenal. Liverpool I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
