Leif 6,006 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 It's time we define for our own sanity why we think Cahill plays. I don't want to just say 'the board', but I do imagine that, considering the board essentially made him captain, there'd be a lot of politics involved in dropping him. Even if unfounded, I imagine they'd theorise it'd be bad for squad morale; bad that there's no Englishmen playing; insulting to undermine their decision that he's captain material. If you sell Cahill to Arsenal, and Conte takes over, he doesn't play Cahill. If you sell Cahill to Liverpool and he shows his consistently dire form, he gets dropped for a youngster. It's not the manager, it rarely is with us. We've had too many worlds-greatest managers for the same exact flaws to keep falling on our lap. There's no way all these managers are bringing in different positive approaches to the last, but the same negative mentalities as the last. You can't convince me that, if sat in a room together with no recording devices and a bottle of whiskey, Jose & Conte wouldn't take the piss out of Cahill when rating the players they've worked with. And the friction each and every manager has with the board - why do they have it? It's certainly not because of the youth recruitment policy or what's served for lunch.

FabHazard 655 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 We are also missing our signature attack pattern Moses pullback to Azpi and Azpi's cross......Here Cahill cannot cross the ball and Azpi is wingback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,146 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Qarabag won't hold on, and it will get worse for us. It's alright saying we have been on top but we have fuck all to show for it. More shit defensive errors...AGAIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,062 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 What a fucking pity. Playing better but losing. Also why not move Azpi in CB and play Zappacosta for Cahill? Oh my God Conte just WHY CAHILL????I'm all for dropping Cahill more often than not, but he wasn't to blame for the two goals so far. We have Rudiger & Alonso to thanks for that.Sad thing is, we could & probably should be leading. Morata cannot keep missing sitters.

Starman60 1,343 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Disapointing so far. Our midfield and attack are playing well and dont deserve to be 2-0 down... Our defence on the other hand are a disgrace. WTF Rudiger!!! I played Sunday league and I'd have hoofed that ball into the next field rather than let it by me. And Luiz !! get your act together mate, you very nearly cost us one with your poor control. Morata not had a sniff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same shit happened on Saturday No the goals are just brainfarts from other players. Playing Cahill for me restricts us on using better players at CB so those goals may never happen with another trio.

Knowing you have to look after Cahill is stressful. He's our only defender, player even, who reeks fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
