2 games against norwich and cardiff and we create 1 clear cut chance that soldado converted.

No creation. erickson sits on the bench.

Slow and Boring story of our season

Pathetic but another 3 points if we get them that we probably didn't deserve

FFS you are one of the most negative posters on here. Yes we are struggling but slaughtering the team when we win is un believable.
The best teams grind out wins when they are not playing well and by the way, I'm not saying we are up with the best teams. 5th is where, over the season, we deserve to be. The 4 above us have had better seasons. We are 5 points clear of 5th. We have won 16 of 28 games. We won't win every game 3/4 nil. Clean sheet. 3 points. Enough said. I think you should take your negativity down the holloway road where it belongs. I look forward your matches. My ideal goal is 3 points.
Today. 3 points. Job done.
Your posts are embarrassing.

Agree0 Disagree0

COYMFS I know my posts seem negative but that reflects the way we play.

I would love to sit here every week and be positive about the team but in the past few weeks there have been very few positives to shout about. I disagree we deserve to be 4th . Everton have been better than us all season.

I think my negativity if built from frustration - a couple of seasons ago we played great counter attacking exciting quick football and teams feared us. Now we play slow laborious football and teams know if they park the bus we lack imagination to break them down.

I want us to be challenging but watching the team week in week out fail to see how we are a top 4 team at the moment which is where we all want to be.

We have got another victory and clean sheet which is fantastic however although we had a lot of possession I'd say Cardiff created better chances

Eriksen supposedly injured. But for all the pace out wide we were painfully slow going forward with the exception of the goal. This is worrying against a team that barely scores in the PL. For all the industry in the middle I still struggle to see the end product from Dembele. Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see how he starts every week, other than the lack of serious options that are fit.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think the problem is that we're still a little too safe from the AVB days. Many times I forward players get the ball and then play a short layoff back towards our goal. That allows the opposition defence and midfield to get back meaning we then have to poke a way through.

We need to take a few more risks early on up front to make it easier for us later on in the attack I think.

Yes 1-0 up and glad soldado got his goal. should build his confidence.

But that's the only plus's. we are playing slow boring football the only time in the game we score is when we break at pace.

Not looking forward to our March games - I hope i'm wrong but sherwood will be shown up with his tactics and unless there is some spark in the team it is going to be a very painful month

It's been said on this site so many times, by lots of supporters, over and over, when Paulinho plays, the game is slowed down! Couldn't get there today, but what I have heard is we are overrun in the middle yet again!
Yet when you look at the bench, not much on there either!
So glad Soldado scored though, hopefully people will get off his back now!

Agree0 Disagree0

Davo
3pts is all important of course and a nice goal from Soldado - both big positives. However, for me it was tainted by being one if the worst league games I've ever seen at the Lane. Cardiff are terrible I'm afraid, they were technically poor and despite having heart they are one of the worst top flight sides i've seen live at the Lane too. We were mis-controlling and giving the ball away constantly (as were they luckily).
Dawson played well - yes I know but he really did, his kind of opposition.
Naughton - doesn't know when to push-on sometimes, some terrible passing and crossing.
Fryers - completely inept, mis-controlled the ball constantly, hacked it forward aimlessly the rest of the time, terrible.
Townsend - one or two moments but generally non-productive.
Paulinho - so slow he makes Corluka look like Usain Bolt. Hardly looked interested at times, mainly because he was so off the pace I guess.
Dembele - worst I've seen him play. None of his usual good control and always having the beating of his man so, that leaves him giving us nothing at all as he didn't win the ball or create things.
Vertonghen - ok but looked jarred off by the cr@p around him
Lloris - not called on too much
Lennon, Ade, Soldado - our best players, Lennon worked the most and looked the most accomplished today. Despite the goal, Ade and Robbie didn't make too much more but Cardiff were obviously digging-in and played 3 centre-backs for a long while. Front two were regularly pushed wide and away from goal and facing the wrong way. Nobody created much for them at all.

Play the same way and we will be battered in the next 2 if not 4 league games.

Simmo,
Dawson, Naughton, Paulinho, Townsend, I would sell tomorrow without blinking! Fryers I would like to give a chance but then we have done that over and over with Naughton . Vert is going to get fed up playing in a shot defence like that sooner or later! We got rid of AVB because of his slow defensive tactics, bad substitutions, use of players in the wrong positions, inability to change tactics and line up, etc and instead gave the job to someone who is now going the same way . We are so slow in the build up it is painful to watch, and opposing teams have time for a coffee before we get it forward . Yes we got the three points which is good but our prospects in our next couple of matches don't look good! Problem is, if we do win them and climb up the league and maybe get fourth, will that mean more of the same dross next season, papering over the cracks like Bale did for us for a couple of seasons? I, for one, do not trust Sherwood in the transfer market as proved in January when we still didn't sign the left back we needed . Also we will have the dross returning from Hull and QPR ( except Carroll ) and we all know about Tim giving second chances! ( god, Livermore and Benny back, a bloody nightmare )

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes Davo, it's a real shame Sherwood decided to give a playera a second chance.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wulf, most of them have been there a long time, through different managers and still weren't good enough! We can't go forward if we keep going back, what's next for you, bring back Hutton, I suppose he deserves another chance!

Sherwood said he was giving Eriksen a rest against Norwich, mistake, and now he does it again and gives the useless Townsrend a start. Sherwood is a complete fool. Get in there Soldado!! Anyway my point is wtf is Sherwood doing dropping Eriksen when he is clearly our best creator.

We have all this pace in our team with townsend and lennon but we build soooo slow!

Teams know they can come and pack the defence and we won't break them down.

Our one player who can break them down is on the bench! nice one sherwood

Again strange team selection our 2 best players in the week Sandro and Erickson on the bench.

At least we have the 2 wingers playing with pace and no bentelab

Nice to see the two wingers playing, and on their right sides . Is Eriksen injured? But please would someone explain why ' the beast ' isn't playing? No DM again!!

The other thing, no Walker! Had heard he had recovered, not even on bench!
