ealingfox Posted 20 January 2016 Author Posted 20 January 2016 Take it you want the 8pts we have got from draws taking off our points total then? Can I have all the sets of 2 points we've lost in return? See, easy to make a pointless argument isn't it?
Guest ttfn Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 Why are people totally unwilling to engage with the point that the style of play has been absolutely atrocious for the last 7 games? It's unbelievable that we're top of the league but my god the last 7 games have made me want to pick my eyes out with a rusty spoon
Tielemans63 Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 Think some people need a reality check before saying we've been shit for the last month. NO team is playing particularly well, there's been some absolutely shocking football played across the prem in the last couple of weeks, players are ****ed. It's not been pretty but on the other hand the team have held their own against the best in the country on pretty much consecutive weekends. Mahrez burries his two pens and no-one's making threads like this.
Aus Fox Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 In those 7 games we have been to Anfield, White Hart Lane twice and Villa Park. We have played the most expensive team in the country at home, as well as playing A decent Bournemouth team and A good Spurs side at home. We have played the reserves twice. We have missed two penalties costing us wins. And have only lost twice in 7, one defeat was us playing our second string. But hey let's all run for the hills and panic!!
Monsell1976 Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 Pressure might be coming into play, but we need to get results if we want what could be a very good season, to turn into reality. We are in a strong position, and I know we shouldn't expect, but I would be gutted if we are not playing in Europe next season, especially how the table is at the minute.
weller54 Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 Wheels are off I'm afraid.. No plan B.. Think Stoke will beat us on Saturday too!
foxes_rule1978 Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 And a draw is closer to a loss than a win so who gives a shit if we've only lost once. Not true... takes 3 draws to equal 1 win in points... how many loses does it take?
blueharmie Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 We won't win all the games. Are some of you that ****ing thick? If we did we would win the league which we won't do with these players. This was always going to happen. It's not like were loosing everyweek.get a grip.
Benguin Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 I'm not going to deny that the style of play and it's production of fantastic results has not fizzed out a bit BUT we are still joint top. As frustrating as the argument I'll proceed to present must be for fickle fans, we were playing in League 1 not that long ago. The club is moving forwards and a blob in form is inevitable, get behind the lads and even if we do slip out of it we have at the very least 54 pl games to look forward to!
The Horse's Mouth Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 we've been playing appallingly recently, I hope we've only been this tory because of fixture congestion.
coolhandfox Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 Can I have all the sets of 2 points we've lost in return? See, easy to make a pointless argument isn't it? No it's not pointless a draw is worth a point.........

This was always going to happen. It's not like were loosing everyweek.get a grip. It is the style of play... and it was evident against Bournemouth and Villa, we aren't playing that fearless attacking football... I understand not doing that against the likes of Man City and Spurs away. But villa and Bournemouth.? just a little worry that we are slipping back to the rubbish we put up with last season before the run
goose2010 Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 Wheels are off I'm afraid.. No plan B.. Think Stoke will beat us on Saturday too! chin up mate can arrange for the smaritans to give you a call if you like!

But villa and Bournemouth.? just a little worry that we are slipping back to the rubbish we put up with last season before the run I think we are just running out of legs and we were performing above our level before xmas, how many of our players would get in another top 6 team, Vardy, Mahrez, Kante, maybe Drinkwater?
Tielemans63 Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 Wheels are off I'm afraid.. No plan B.. Think Stoke will beat us on Saturday too! I too have given up all hope now we're on this 2 game winless streak. When will it ever end??!!
blueharmie Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 I too have given up all hope now we're on this 2 game winless streak. When will it ever end??!! Pearsons free?
sdb Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 Funny how exactly a week ago people were going nuts about how amazing everything was. Crazy how a draw away and reserve defeat can flip everyone 180. Chill out!!!
dylanlegend Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 To be fair 1 win in 7 but we are still top with decent (on paper) fixtures coming up. Hope Vards and Riyad pick up on form
Tielemans63 Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 Pearsons free? To be fair he knows a thing or two about winless streaks.
Mark Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 It is the style of play... and it was evident against Bournemouth and Villa, we aren't playing that fearless attacking football... I understand not doing that against the likes of Man City and Spurs away. But villa and Bournemouth.? just a little worry that we are slipping back to the rubbish we put up with last season before the run He just said himself on the radio he wanted to keep it 0-0 and push the second half. We've been doing that since Liverpool. But even last season apart from that 4 game period where we played 4 central midfielders we weren't as negative as we have been lately.
johnny the fox Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 Smells like panic.............on here, supporting this club has been easy for a while... now is the time to see what WE are made of...keep the faith..
Aus Fox Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 Wheels are off I'm afraid.. No plan B.. Think Stoke will beat us on Saturday too! Jeez mate, Who pissed in your cornflakes?
Fox 4 Life Posted 20 January 2016 Posted 20 January 2016 I agree that we are owed some slack after the out of this world first 4-5 months but the people just writing the poor form off because we are joint top are hilarious. Since Liverpool the performances have been very poor, the attacking intent has gone and we look awful going forward. Anyone who thinks we will take anything from arsenal and city away are having a laugh. That is not to say we can't turn it around as we have clearly shown we are capable but the last month has simply not been good enough. Ulloa is NOT good enough and we badly need a decent option when Vardy/Okazaki are struggling. Stoke will be a massive test are they were playing very well lately. Not bothered about the cup as it wasn't the first team but it is worrying that we still sat back and didn't show anything going forward, at home.
