It's not so much the end result but the toothless, spineless way in which we will setup and execute our game plan. Come on, we all know the score here, let's not pretend otherwise. 

 

We've become so one-dimensional against the 'better teams' it's laughable. We see other teams mixing it up with different formations and trying to take the game to the 'bigger team' - yes, they might still lose but at least there is entertainment value and something different to witness. It also seems like it takes us a million years to actually utilise new signings - we NEVER get new players out on the pitch to improve us.

Do they really go out and take it to them? Stoke Beat Arsenal but had 23% possession, they sat back more than we did and soaked up pressure. West ham went to United and had less shots than us and got smashed. Swansea had less shots against united, in fact they didn't get a single one on target.

It's somewhat difficult to play people when they have been injured, Iborra and Nacho have both been injured. Dragovic has only just signed, Silva can't even play. The other signings last year have shown themselves not good enough to even replace anyone in the team with the exception of perhaps Slim, but Shinji has done well so far. Maguire is pretty much the only player who has been an improvement and been fit and he's played every minute hasn't he?

I literally know exactly what I'm going to see down at the ground already tomorrow - it's not going to be a PL winning David vs. Goliath dragon-slaying spectacle of the past - it's going to be the same players and same old failed approach as described in the previous post.

 

That's what it's like for most teams you know. If it wasn't then those lot wouldn't be miles away from the rest points wise in the top 6.

I appreciate you've taken the effort to counter my points but you should know by now I love a negative post and I personally wouldn't bother taking the time to counter myself. 

 

It's mostly tongue in cheek.

 

BUT we will be shit tomorrow and we will lose 0-3 AND Shinji will fall over at least 4 times.

Yes.  both offer more than James.

Except they've not proved that at all hey. I'm sorry but Amartey whilst I still think has potential he just doesn't track runners or spot danger and was utterly dreadful against the big teams last year. Far worse than anything James has shown this year. Your hatred of James is beyond laughable.

But apparently the excuse "everyone was shit" doesn't wash when used to defend James against those saying he played in the middle of a team bottom of the league.

Did I miss something in the press conference? What is with all the King or Amartey talk if James and N'didi are fit?

Irrelevant - our midfield was absolutely honkers during that period. We lost all ability to get the ball quick to our attacking players. Hence the first thing we did in January was get N'Didi in.

It would, if (some) people didn't keep saying how well he played that season.

Well we'll never know if James would have helped with that.  I suspect not.

The five goals scored over two games and pre-season appearances against PL sides say otherwise.

Listening to Shakespeare's press conference, I'm just wondering if the new signings will ever be fit enough to play together in the starting 11 lol 

Just to add to the James/ king debate, when Iborra is fit, and silva finally signs, both will become somewhat irrelevant, as they will both be cover.

Maybe.  Maybe they were all as a result of James being in the side.  And maybe they weren't.  Who knows?

Saw a tweet showing a video of when Williams (the Welsh player) tried to intimidate riyad (in the title winning season) and moments later vardy put Williams on the ground after a duel.

I miss that team ?
