Well he exposed our midfield . Fernandinho did the same , when we played against Shakthar . and we only controlled the game in the first half , when he came on , West ham got their hand on us imo. We should have done better but still you can see how much effect a Topclass DM has on the games and this is what we are lacking.

We didn't lose that game because we lacked a class DM. That's just a poor excuse. We lost simply because the entire team just collapsed in the second half. No one stepped up then and looked to be counted. Everyone just folded in. Liverpool didn't have a top class DM in their team but they still managed to cope with West Ham.

We certainly lost the battle in the midfield , we got bullied by Diame. Same happened with Liverpool , they got bullied by Diame , and when he got injured , they got the space to move the things in the midfield , and they won the game.

Ikr , for this they would need big signings , which they wont get under their current owners

Heres hoping..they win next weekend only 4 behind...saying that same with the teams above but guess they had such a shite start and to suddenly be a bit close...

Even then, did they crumble? No. They battled on and stayed in the game. We just waved the white flag in the second half. Showed no fight. No desire. Nothing.

What's with AVB and conceding late goals, lol.

[edetarod 2,155]

AVB's face when Everton score the second goal, i really felt for him, he was so devastated. didn't deserve it

Just saw the stats in the Guardian match report. Spurs have conceded 10 goals in last 15 minutes in the league this season and thus, dropping 14 points as a result. Would have been sitting top of the table by 1 point otherwise.

Spurs lost me 300 quid today for fucks sake if their games ended at 80 mins they would be top of the league. Unbelievable

It was the same when he was our manager.

Indeed. Nothing new.

Just rewatched the Manchester derby. ManU will probably regain the title, because City are to shit to make the best of that personell. Should have won this game. Rooney was twice so lucky. The first goal it was a brillant finish, but how can a defender just jogg off, when he hits his shot. He is covered by two men, one can chase him and the other should cover the first defender, not jog beside him. Terry would have anticipated and stopped that shot instead of switching off after the shot has been fired. The second is typical ManU goal. But wtf is David Silva doing, just standing around. Kolo Toure is nowhere near Rooney, so Silva should no only half-heartedly track back but help to double Rooney. Btw Hart is so overrated. He was not at fault for any of these goals, but in this kind of game, Cech would have pulled off one unbelievable save that would have changed the game. The people are wanking about the van Persie goal, but it was going down the middle before it was stupidly defelcted by zabaleta. U either block a shot or u let it go for safety, but deflecting a ball into the danger zone is never right.

High five!

[gary gordon 1,777]

Surely we're not in the tittle race anymore?

In 2011 when we played united at home we were something like 10 points behind them and it was the end of February. We ended up coming pretty close that year. Technically, we still have a chance, but it all depends on a slump by united or injury to key players, namely RVP..

Henry on his way back to Arsenal on loan, again.

A little bit of loss of emotional control and lacking in defensive solidifcation.
