Good afternoon.
Where to begin? Well Aston Villa are yet another side we’ve encountered this season who aren’t exceptional at playing football, but they are blatantly better managed than us since Arry, ‘went wrong’ on us.
The away support was as ever, so excellent and the Villans might want to stop a while and ponder just who they need to direct their angst at. I get the frustration; but had we played you before the, ‘England’ fiasco we would’ve probably thumped you.
Bale is giving everyone a migraine. He returns a pass then pings off centrally for the next slice of the action. Which 99% of the time never ensues.
Kyle Walker needs managing. These Forest Gump runs are producing little and defensively he’s looking like a part timer.
Danny Rose’s red wasn’t only deserved, I glad it happened as even someone as blinkered as Arry can’t deny he’s actually thicker than Baldrick.
The icing on the time expired cake of course was the Cagney death scene of Arry working out what to do substitute wise. He had Defoe ready to come on. Then Ade scored the pen and so he then hesitated further before swapping Rafa for …Parker.
Which only serves to show how genuinely clueless the man is. We’re well beyond, ‘a point would be alright’ territory. Well beyond. But that’s what that sub meant.
I lost count of the corners we won. We scored from a penalty. Go figure. Coaching?
Player ratings etc in the am.
Arry played it too safe, and maybe this is as far as he prepared to take us.
Our squad is one of the best equipped to attack in the PL, yet Arry bottled it at 1-1 yest with a HALF HOUR to go and wind in our sails… and Newcastle just buried by City.
I thought Arry had more guts….no disrespect to Parker, but to me it was Arry’s worst substitution ever.. hopefully for us supporters it will not come round to haunt him, and somehow he can sail the CL ship home.
But once again we now depend on other teams to help us finish the job.
Passion!Is what we require in our team. Someone to take charge on the pitch and rally the troops,only Sandro and Kaboul showed the fight. But we need vocal leaders who can lead by example to SPUR the team on when needed. The likes of Rio, Vincent Kompany are vocal as well as good team players, who can take the game by the scruff of the neck. Also our manager has to try and enspire these qualities, which I am afraid Harry is clueless at this as well.
