NobbySol 22 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Unless of course he is playing Smith as a sweeper and Martins on his own..... if so thats suicidal, inviting chelsea onto us to knock a few past. Martins is useless on his own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4446 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 So if he doesn't want/expect to win and the performance doesn't really matter, what the fuck is he bothering for? What the fuck are the fans who've paid £50 to watch it supposed to think? I honestly don't care how many games we win or lose from now on - I just want this bastard sacked. He said that the 'focus' should be getting results against the smaller teams, ie. it's the most important thing. I agree. He also said that if Chelsea play to their very best, we could still play very well and lose. This is also true. As I said that's one angle - viewing it from mine it reduces the games against the good teams to token efforts. It also means that if you don't do the business against the lesser teams, you're screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 The home performance against Arsenal doesn't suggest we write off the games against the big teams. Although the one against Liverpool did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 The home performance against Arsenal doesn't suggest we write off the games against the big teams. Although the one against Liverpool did. Indeed it doesnt, but Sams comment suggests we should focus like that on winnable games not the games like Arsenal. I;d rather he said "We should focus on the more winnable games as well as against the bigger clubs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_cann 0 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 http://www.premierleague.com/page/Statisti...,,12306,00.html As i mentioned before, check out the bookings. Essien has 5, the 5th coming against Villa on Boxing Day, so why is he playing today? Bet he scores two today now! Or maybe we'll get pasted 4-0 before the F.A award us the three points for Chelski fielding an ineligible player?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14021 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Chelsea add: Injuries to Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini mean the Blues have untried 17-year-old Wales Under-21 international goalkeeper Rhys Taylor on the bench as their only back-up to Hilario.

luckyluke 2 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 He's not saying we shouldn't bother trying against the big teams, he's saying we should try to play our best against ALL the teams. "Our focus has to be on the winnable games rather than putting all our focus on having to get a performance against the big boys" Contradicts that doesn't it? No it doesn't. Read the bit in bold - Sam feels we only concentrate on playing well against the big teams, which is wrong. He wants us to try to win the games we have a better chance of winning, but nowhere does he actually say 'don't bother against Chelsea, we'll get stuffed' or words to that effect.
