Lighthouse

I haven't seen anything unreasonable posted on here. To say, "well we won, everything's fine," is sticking your head in the sand to an extent. We let in 2 poor goals and went into stoppage time with just a 1 goal lead against the worst team in the Premier League for 10 years. The only other team they've scored twice against in the last 4 months is Norwich. We get away with playing like this against sides as poor as Newcastle and Villa but against anyone better we come unstuck, which showed at Goodison.

What is it now? 1 point in 7 games against Spurs since we came up. Can't see too far beyond 1 from 8 in a couple of weeks personally. Also, we haven't beaten Everton this season either.

Incorrect, he does not suffer 'disappointment', it's all just a cry for attention. It's no coincidence that his opinion is always the one which will draw the most criticism and derision.

Such a predictable troll and yet so many bites.

Interesting this one. If Man Utd win their game in hand, City are only 2 points above 5th and will really need a win. On the flip side, this fixture comes in the middle of a Real Madrid sandwich, with City playing them twice in the space of 8 days. No doubt they will have one eye on the Champions League, I reckon we could get a point if we play to our potential. I'd go with the same team as Villa.

Well if THE Neil Rucastle said it...

Can see the League being decided when we go to WHL. I'll take a stab at Spurs beating WBA and drawing at Chelsea, whilst Leicester lose at OT. 4 point gap going into the last 2; Leicester beat Everton, Spurs beat us and the title goes to Leicester.

You mean when Williams smacked the ball right at him and he wasn't expecting it? Don't be a plank, if you defend that badly you deserve to concede. You could see from William's reaction, he knew he'd c*cked up.

2-0, they're on their way. I only hope all that Champion's League money will go towards reinforcing their stadium.

Sunderland are going to do it again aren't they. Spend 3/4 of the season being utterly, utterly garbage and somehow stay up.

I care because had the lino been awake it would have been given offside and another chance wasted, on top of the other goal he had disallowed for offside. It doesn't matter with regards to yesterday's result but he would be lucky to get away with that a second time.

How is Everton an upgrade on Saints? They been in the bottom half for the last 2 years.

People are annoyed by how we failed to convert so much possession around the Villa box and that for most of the game it was finely balanced on a 1 goal advantage. We had a 2-0 lead for all of 6 minutes and a 3-1 lead for 14 minutes. We were sloppy, gave away cheap goals, wasted chances and would have lost to a better team.

I'm not sure this game can be used as a yardstick for anything TBH. We were playing the worst team the Premier League has seen since Derby came up 10 years ago, it's very rare that you come up against a team that poor (although Newcastle seem to manage it at St Mary's every season).

Cruel on Everton really. Could see it coming a mile off with the chances they missed. Saints-esq.

1-1 cracking second half.

I just don't think he contributed enough. People bemoan Tadic's finishing and wasting chances. He scored his 8th goal of the season today, whilst Davis has fewer goals in the last 2 years than Yoshida.

I'd say he looked pretty hungry, like the wolf.

Going to disagree on Davis and Long. The latter missed an absolute boatload of chances, as many as he might get in 3 games against decent opposition. Needs to improve his finishing and decision making in front of goal.

Lord almighty, we made hard work of that. Tadic my MOTM. Romeu very good too.

F**king finally.

Jesus Christ Long. Missed enough chances to win 5 games.

Really?

Oh yes Dusan!
