It’s not good enough. Other teams are taking these easy chances and putting distance between them and us. It’s the same as 04/05. Almost every week it was, “another late equalizer/defeat, but if we do that in the next game we’ll be fine” type posts. There comes a time where we have to be braver and see out the win.
Arsenal had thrown the towel in and we still couldn’t capitalize. Shocking. Not happy with the point at small because wec****ed away 2.
Anyone who thinks we won’t do the “good performance one week and then fail to turn up in a must win game the next” is deluded.
Right near the end we got away on a 3 on 2, the Arsenal players behind actually gave up. Our glorious captain Hoj had the ball, had Redmond out wide in acres of space, chose to run and shoot wide. I knew immediately that we’d **** up and end 2-2. Our players are thick, too dumb to make simple high percentage plays. **** off!
We miseed the sort of chances you see the likes of Norwich, Newcastle, Brighton etc burying.
Too many players timewasting and going to ground, so ****ing Saints to take what was a much improved performance and leave you feeling hollow an$ gutted at the end.
It happens so often too, Arsenal had given up and we still managed to let them score at the death.
Cedric dispossessed an Arse defender, had to make an easy 5 yard pass to a wide open Oba for a tap in, chopped the pass over Obafemi’s leg. Then Ings went down in box, penalty given, VAR checked, JWP to keepers left, saved, follows up, GoAL.
