No I didn't forget that. I just published the stats. Make of them what you will.

Good for you! There you go, a bit of optimism doesn't cost a thing (and yes, I know you are being sarcastic).

Things do change. Which is why there is no point in slitting your wrists half way through a season.

You say playing on the counter as if it is a negative thing? Plenty of teams set themselves up to play counter attacking football. Plenty of teams do not play brilliantly but get a goal and take the points. Without wishing the state the obvious, you do not win games without scoring goals.

They lost it a few weeks back if you use this forum as a yardstick.

Would you have posted this after the Chelsea game a couple of weeks back?

As much as I love Ron, I wish he wouldn't talk about the weather. It is the same for both sides and he has been in the game long enough to know that you have to perform in all weather conditions.

So you wont moan if we finish in the bottom 4 then?

You cant blame Koeman for the poor finishing. We are making the type of chances that others put away. Our finishing is letting us down big time.

If our finishing was half decent this would be a very different season so far.

Trying to find positives...when I saw the team selection I thought we would get tonked. At least Gazza has shown he isn't complete pants. Erm. That is it.

Lovin that Shop Shoot Train Entertain logo!

Trouble is other teams are also looking to unearth players of that quality and already have done. We are not alone in looking for quality.

Better quality nuns though Ohio!

But at least Pelle being on the bench should make you happy?

This from my football app. "Its a wonderful experience for every football lover to behold this hugely entertaining encounter. The players are showing their best, making the game very attractive. The game is quite balanced."

Yep, no point in bringing them on with 10 minutes to go. Get them on at half time!!

And thereby lies the problem. Liverpool put 6 of their 7 chances in the back of the net the other day.

Agree, best form of defence is attack.

Not his biggest fan but fair play today. Ron seems to have set up the team so he will get a lot of practice!!!

For those who thinks that Ron always plays his favourites, think again! Very worried about this team and set up but hope to be proved wrong!
