woodland fox Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 He's right we are not having the luck yet but it will come in the next few weeks. What you have to remember we are playing the sides who finish in the top 6. Next weeks game against Huddersfield will be the turning point.
ealingfox Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 The old saying goes don't look at the table until after 10 games. We will have played Huddersfield, Bournemouth, West Brom and Swansea by then as well as 5 of last season's top 7. We've won comfortably the only game we'd have been expected to win so far. I'm not panicking just yet. Our showings so far have been decent. We have issues and shortcomings but I don't think we're a bad side on the field. Chins up and let's see how we get on next week.
Dan Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 It has felt a bit 2014/15 so far although it's very early days and we've had the worst fixtures of the lot.
Guest Kopfkino Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 Think he's clutching a bit saying big moments aren't going out way. The big sides are just better than us.

Too true my friend. We can't start blaming luck at this stage. I don't think Shakey does to be honest and we have to make our own (luck). Huddersfield will be a tough one but it's one we have to win otherwise you can see the confidence seeping away.
SheppyFox Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 It's ok not to be the best team in the league when you're of our stature
Jobyfox Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 He's right. The big moments aren't going our way. Like the moments that he keeps putting Andy King on!!
CosbehFox Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 He's not citing luck, more we should be taking the chances as season they come
funkyrobot Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 Let's be fair, Chelsea have effectively stripped our first choice champion winning midfield. Kante was instrumental in that game (never mind his lucky goal) and our most experienced other centre mid was sat on the bench. Their fcukin bench ?

Melbourne Fuchs Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 That's what you'd expect him to say really, he's hardly going to say "we just don't have the quality", "my subs were crap" or "Kasper should have done better"!
UPinCarolina Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 I thought something like this earlier. 50/50 moments aren't hitting for us. We could easily be 3-1-0, etc.
ScouseFox Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 29 minutes ago, KingGTF said: Think he's clutching a bit saying big moments aren't going out way. The big sides are just better than us. the ozil hand ball completely changed and cost us the arsenal game. then there's the 30 seconds or so where we miss a sitter and they go and score a decent goal. two decent examples of how we could've had a 4-6 more points from an incredibly tough start to the season if "big moments" had gone more in our favour. still dont think its much of an issue, yet. we are meant to lose these games, and we've been in and played alright in all 3 so far, whilst looking very good in the only game against a lower side. guess it just depends what the actually aim/expectation of the season is. we'd need to take some points from these games if we're actually trying to get into europe, however we can be comfortably mid table without having to pick up more points than we lose against the "top 6".
Kitchandro Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 We didn't create any moments. I don't necessarily blame him totally, we just haven't got the players at the moment, but we aren't creating chances. The 'moment that didn't go our way' was the Slimani chance just before they scored the first. Well that's our fault for not being good enough to finish a great chance. It's not luck. I think we lacked a bit of belief today. In the second half we really didn't put them under enough pressure.
DatfoxesKid23 Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 don't underestimate huddersfield like people underestimated us in the PL winning season and we will be fine we have European quality that isn't playing in iheanacho, iborra and silva.
baronfox Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 Is Shakespeare seriously thinking this game was in the balance...suggesting that luck played a part in the final result??? Chelsea were unlucky not to score another 3or4 goals! Will the man still be in charge at Christmas ?

Moments win games. I won't argue that the Ozil decision wasn't significant, it onviously was, but that's no excuse for us defending like that from a corner, surely? A lot of moments aren't going our way because we've not been good enough. Today we weren't good enough to bury a great chance and we conceded goals out of nothing really. Arsenal was similar and we were just 2nd best against Man Utd. No excuses necessary, we've been beaten by 3 good sides but I feel we could have performed better at each end of the pitch, where it matters, in all 3 of them.

Yeh that was one chance and we weren't good enough to score it. But I wouldn't say creating one chance is really very good would you? Care to make any more silly sarcastic comments?
Monsell1976 Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 We don't have good enough players/ manager/ coaches to win the games we have lost, if that's anything to with big moments not going our way, he has a point. If all of the above have enough quality and belief, the big moments go for you, more often than not. Individual errors, lack of quality and composure, are not big moments not going our way, they are **** ups.

The Horse's Mouth Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 we've been beaten by three sides who should've beaten us, Liverpool was always the favourable tie out of the big boys we drew early on. Some maybe questionable things tactically, but anyone getting on his case at this stage is a ****ing **** tbh. Not getting the full 3 next week could put a bit of pressure on us, but I'm confident we'll be middish table come christmas
GaelicFox Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 Sorry Craig your just not good enough your so like Pearson it's scary sooner your gone the better just not a premier league manager
