Thing vs thingy postmatch

[Muddled]

Koeman is a recent example. Brendan is in his third year though, having spent 120 million this summer.

Pulis did it with Crystal Palace in the second half of last season.

I'm trying to think of a manager who has gone 180 on his own ethos and changed things overnight.

[Corndog]

My point was that for 70 minutes he was one of our better performers but there were others who were letting the team down and caused the us to be in the predicament we were. In a way, their performances dragged him down and caused him to be in the situations he found himself in. If the rest of the tema played with Moreno's postivity, we would have been winning by that point.

With respect, i think thats a weak argument. But my point is i've seen Skrtel or Johnson play ok for 70 minutes then **** up like Moreno and they cop it.

Playing in a positive manner does not make up for being so blatantly one footed. Lots of players obviously have a stronger or preferred foot but most of them can also stomach using the other one when necessary and Moreno never does.

And we spent over £100m

we spent 100m and our first XI is weaker

just sounds mad.

Houllier once played attacking footy for a bit but soon gave it up. Remember Owen, Heskey & Anelka vs Newcastle. Of course we signed Doofus instead of Anelka & the rest is (very sorry) history.

Not the first time in the last 5 years either.

Well, maybe it's not a good idea then to do so. I think there is a way to do better defensively and attacking, drop Gerrard and Balotelli. We are trying to accomodate them both, changing our game to do so, it's having a negative effect on the team.

Just for a couple of games, see if the movement and pace increases, give other players a chance. Drop Lovren as well and give Sakho a chance.

Having thought about it for a tiny bit admittedly IMO the blame lies solely with Brendan not any of the players.

[baitman]

we were dog ****.

not the classic old school stuff that is hard and white that we all remember from our childhood, the stuff that was made from beefy bones chewed up by proper tough dogs who shag skanky birds.

we are the sloppy ooze that comes out of pampered inbred injury prone little furry ****ers who have never had a proper fight. fashion accessories dressed in stupid little cute outfits and owned by wag wannabees.

Only £40m net though

To be honest with losing Suarez it was always likely our first XI would be weaker than last season.

[-V-]

Terrible formation, terrible tactics, disgusting performance. Brendan is having a mare this season. Real are going to smash us 5 nil

[Bender]

And Ronaldo scores for Real after 100 seconds

i never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Everyone agrees with that I think, but we could have been better prepared with replacements for him. Now we seem to be clueless and abandoning our philosophy.

to think that greasy haired son a bitch could have been playing for us. and then we would have sold him to madrid and bought james milner.

turned into a fantastic player though. have to take your hat off to him, absolutely superb.

Funnily enough, I said the exact same thing in the Brendog thread.
