We then ended up with some class youths who won us promotion. Could we do this again ?????? Not sure mate if we have the right mentality at all levels to do that. But I know I had a great time when we was in the 2nd Div. Didn't take away any of the fans (THEN) support. Different times tho. We have become spoiled. Victims of our own success. Supporters thinking that the home cups are meaningless. All just makes me laugh. Muzchap, Johnnyeye and Starman60 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willian presses high at times. Pedro is like a butchers dog. Both give us more in the way of offence than Barkley/RLC/Kova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we have become victims of our own success.. Jeez I went bloomin nutty when we won the Full Members Cup!!

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 1 hour ago, DYC. said: I’d rather see Alonso in left midfield than leftback. I’ve always seen him more as a midfielder than a defender/fullback. His troubles at LB do not surprise me. And Chels is too soft and predictable in midfield for me. He’d add some physicality and Alonso can get into the box and cause trouble. Let Kante sit deep instead and support Jorginho, which allows Odoi to attack them hard on the right I know this is out of the box but that just how I think. I need Sarri to do something. He’s so rigid. People love comparing him to Guardiola but Pep makes (slight) tactical tweaks and employs players in different positions all of the time. He’s nothing like that and he’s losing me because of it. Alonso in midfield? Not with the way he "passes" the ball around. You would have to wait an eternity for him to just shift the ball onto his left foot before he releases it, and hope that no one nicks it off him in between.

With Hazard in our team, it require the other winger to be extremely solid defensively. Alonso on the left wing is an interesting option but is he better than Barkley in term of helping our team against city pressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unionjack 7,531 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Give them all a fuck off big line of marching powder before they go out so they start like they WANT to win. Ive bot seen us start good in ages. We always tend to be better in the 2nd half. Maybe we should have a 45 minute game against the yoofs or ladies team and come straight onto the pitch from it.

We should be paying attention on Wednesday’s game against Spuds and getting 3 points. That’s 100x more important than this tinpot final. Our last PL game was the 6-0 horror show. Top 4 is massive, especially now that EL is much harder to win this year, just by looking at the remaining teams. I don’t know about you guys, but I’d rather lose the final and beat Spuds, then to win the final THEN lose to Spuds. Winning both games is the best scenario I know, but our form is terrible right now. Yeah. I agree. We win this game then great but we have bigger priorities. Spurs also have an extra day rest. We play our 'best team' to play at such a high intensity tomorrow, then can they keep the same up against Spurs? Not so sure and that is the real crucial one. I won't care if we lose tomorrow as everyone is expects it. Just want to see a respectable effort from the team but we cannot afford to lose Wednesday's game at any cost. In fact, would go as far as saying it is a must win, espec with us being behind United and Arsenal having two games coming up which they should win.

Sorry pal I have to disagree, winning a trophy at this point in the season is going to be a massive boost, could just be what we need.
