gary gordon 1,777 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Can't see us winning the title this year. An that's not because I am pissed off about tonight. I am watching the Man U game at the moment and i can honestly say that that play such a quick, sharp game of football. We look like shit. Even with precious seconds to go our players were still holding the ball at their feet and wasting time. With Essien out, Drogba (who i believe is doing way more than he should be) Mikel and Kalou gone to the ACN we don't stand a chance of keeping up with Man U who are killing it without 7 regular players. At the start of the season we had so much depth but i seems as though it's all gone. I would love to hook at least three players tonight but who do you replace them with? Villa just scored!!!!

misschief 24 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Won't be holding my breath for a Villa win, United are way too good at coming back from behind. Besides, Villa's record against them speaks for itself.We had our chances to pull away from United in the last week and blew it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 If Villa win/draw, I'll be just as angry as it will mean its a wasted opportunity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Well Villa have won. Are u really disappointed, really? truthfully? We started 2 points clear, we're now 3 points clear. It's not really a bad thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Drog 1,110 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 The defence was the shits today , you cant concede like that from 3 set plays. Somebody needs to do something about Cech , time to face facts , since the head collision he seems to have lost his nerve. Really poor perfomance again from him today. What I wouldnt give to see Alex back in the heart of the defence. Mikel also was simply too slow around the pitch , too plodding and too predictable. When we dont have Essien in the team our midfield doesnt work because neither Ballack or Mikel are very mobile. Also Joe Cole is bang out of form , he doesnt look sharp at all. However credit to Drogba , at times we look like a one man team and we can thank our lucky stars that , that one man is the best striker in world football , say what you like but there aint anybody better than Didier Drogba. Also Anelka continues his superb season and I thought Ivanovic did well today.However not all bad news as we are now 3 points clear. If you offered me the chance to go 3 points clear at the top at the start of the day I would have taken it.Improvements need to be made in January.

It's not really a bad thingYes but for some really bad defending we should be 5 points clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerCFC 7 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 It doesnt matter that United lost today. We can't hope to have them lose everytime we drop points. If Cech is to be dropped do you think we should try to sign a keeper in January? If so, who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Yeah but we cant have it both ways. They should be beating villa at home really. They will be saying on their forum something along the lines of:"Fuck sake, Chelsea draw and we lose when we can go level! We should beat Villa, this was the opportunity to catch Chelsea, we should be level with them now but now we're 3 points behind"Swings and roundabouts.

Joe Cool 388 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 The defense was in fucking shambles today... carlo realyl needs to get this shit sorted out, it's been a terrible week.but at least united lost so we're still above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Cee 50 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 It doesnt matter that United lost today. We can't hope to have them lose everytime we drop points. If Cech is to be dropped do you think we should try to sign a keeper in January? If so, who?Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. We're lucky Villa won tonight but it I don't think it'd be a similar case if we drop points next time. We really need to sort out our defense.

Alee. 182 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 What concerns me is Cech's form and lack of confidence! Cant see replacing him, or is that the answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueboy 14 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 The defence today was pretty concerning :/. How it's possible that we conceded 3 goals true set pieces, 3 identical mistakes!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray. 217 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I'm finally back from the match which I found frustrating, but at the same time it kept me on the edge of my seat, literally. Hoping for a better result against Pompey on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James 5,322 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Just seen the highlights, what on earth was Cech doing on Evertons 3rd goal, got caught in no mans land. We can't defend from set pieces, i think we have the worst record in the league, wheres the communication? Only positive note was Man Utd didnt win. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve 10,227 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Very frustrating game to watch. We had them by the scruff of the neck at one stage and we got two quick goals and it could of easily been more. The game should of been won before half time.Defending was shocking, Besides Ivanovic for me who again was my man of the match, for the last 3 pl games. Cech is really frustrating me of late, he will never be the same again. I think alot of the goals we have conceeded this season have been from his lack of confidence from set pieces and his lack of communication with our defenders.Waiting for pompey and we cannot afford anything less than a win.KTBFFH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Maybe Ancelotti should stick with Hilario for the next games so Cech can get back on the track in training and regain some confidence.To be honest every time the ball comes anywhere near the box i am afraid of what Cech is going to do with it.He and his little flicks all the time, gets my blood boiling....
