The problem with that is we might not be 3rd if we'd rotated the squad. 


Wining the three home games since the cup final and @ West Ham beforehand has been the key. Happy winning two games from three without EH on the touchline too. Much rather be looking down at the chasing pack than up at them tbh :cuppa:

Some of these teams are playing each other. Villa city midweek for instance. They aren't all going to win all games and we don't need to win our next 5.


three wins will be plenty. Win your home games, basically and hope to pick up a point or two on the road. We will definitely lose again before the end of the season but that’s fine, as long as it’s not against Ipswich next week. That’s the one we have to win

Agree with much on what has been said here re this was a hiccup not totally unexpected and we just need to remember the position we are in and get back on track vs Ipswich. 

 

Two things stood out for me:

1. Bruno set a really poor tone for me. Cranky, petulant behavior, throwing himself to the ground and then getting worked up plus giving away needless freekicks in dangerous areas. The ref was a massive arsehole no doubt but you need better from your captain. 

2. A bit of squad rotation might have benefited us in hind sight. I know Tindall spoke about not changing a winning formula and Eddie has said the same in the past but this has happened to us before when despite great form we stumble purely due to lack of energy. Maybe try something different just to give yourself a chance. 

 

 


We found out the hard way that we can’t play that open against a team like villa with our ageing back four when it’s the third game in a week. Their tactics were simple but effective: direct through balls into Watkins who was dropping off than terrorising trippier and Schar.
 

Of course this is captain hindsight speaking but a low block or even a back five might have been a better, albeit more boring approach. I can see why he stuck instead of twisting after blowing away teams at home playing like that but Villa are a different proposition to the teams we’ve played recently.

At times they did have 12 with that aussie cunt ref

 

Gillet is terrible and wasn't up to the task when he refereed the A-League, have no idea whose cock he sucked to get a chance in the PL but he surely cannot be there on merit.

What's going on with Miley? Bruno needed hooking just after halftime and yet he and big Joe (who also looked leggy) played a full 90. Also anyone noticed we've changed the way our fullbacks are playing? When we won the cup final and for the next few matches, Tino would overlap on the outside of Barnes and Trips would cut inside of Murph. Last couple of games that has changed. Nothing is coming down the left the way it was and Murph seemed, especially against the beige cunts, isolated and often out of position, with him and Trips covering the same space a number of times. When their LB scored he didn't even seem to be busting a gut to help cover like he as most of the season. Leggy maybe but his starting position didn't help him.

I would actually be in favour of some sort of internment programme for the Aussies on here, after that dickhead Gillet yesterday. They're not all bad, but we can't take a risk. Get a forum set up called THE CAGE and bounce them all across to it. Just til the end of the season to start with, and then we'll trial letting one or two out during the summer. 

 

Thankfully everything you mention goes the opposite way, so that's the convicts alright, let us know how the cage is once you get out.

I know Man City win yesterday btw but they were getting nowt from that game until Tarkowski went off injured. 

 

He's apparently out for the rest of the season which is decent news for us cos his replacement, Keane, is dogshit.

I was saying just a couple of changes for today, not as a matter of policy. Willock and Gordon maybe. 

 

I'm sure they thought about it and checked fitness stats etc., what do we know. But one can't still help but think. Because this has happened regularly to us when we've played 3 in a week. 

 

Villa's squad is so much better. They've been able to manage all the extra games well and you know they'll get away with PSR. We have a massive summer ahead.

If we get CL, I don't think any of you appreciate enough just how HOT this summer is fixing to be.

The real question is why do I not have MORE cheerleaders.
