Such a moronic take from someone who knows a staggering little amount of football

RVclaret

We have taken 4 points (should have been 6) from two away games against teams expected to be in the mix with us. If we can keep that up against the others we will be fine. Basically this. It’s such a bizarre start with the fixtures. It’s hard to work out where we are at. What’s clear is we can’t co...

This Chelsea side aren't big scorers. Before today I think they'd scored seven goals. Much talk about them spending so much money and still where are the goals going to come from. Enter Burnley and one of the most lacklustre, soft, disorganised forty-five minutes you'll see all season. Agree re. se...

I was hopeful on O’Shea at first and be still might come good but Deary me he is looking massively out of depth against these top teams.

Opposition make adjustments at half time. We don't react to them.

These are proper shite and we are making them look good

Give over. We’ve been poor second half but they are far from ‘proper shite’. Sterling been outstanding.

RVclaret

Not sure what happens to us at half time but this isn’t the first time we’ve come out and played utter s***e

RVclaret

Unfortunately Vitinho has never been a good defender

RVclaret

Looks like O’Shea coming on.

14 minutes added at Fulham, Chris Basham broken leg, feel for the lad hopefully a full recovery for him.

Poor lad. Possibly a career ender at his age. Blow for them as they’ve just lost John Egan for a bit too.

Larsen on for Tresor is a must. Sterling just getting so much space

Tresor been told to defend narrow and leave that space. So blame the manager.

RVclaret

Been a bit too careless in possession this half but the defensive shape in general been really good.

RVclaret

Al-Dakhil’s body shape wrong there, but it’s still bloody lucky. Sterling been excellent in fairness.

If we get at Chelsea this is a winnable game.

The fact Broja is fit is a bit concern. As he was excellent on Monday.

Chelsea in general were much better on Monday.

The teams they’ve been struggling most against are the ones who sit in and defend deep. Not sure that’s us.

RVclaret

How come we made Spurs look like prime Barcelona? Did you watch them today? They absolutely battered Luton for most of the game and could have been 4-0 up in the first 15 mins. The thing is with football sometimes you take your chances sometimes you don’t. Against us they were incredibly clinical, ...

So Everton after today will have played Fulham, Wolves, Luton & Bournemouth at home (so far won none!)

We will have played City United Villa Spurs Chelsea.

Amazing the contrast in fixtures between us and them isn’t it. Add they’ve played Sheff Utd and Brentford away too!

So do we think Taylor at CB or LB and likewise with Delcroix? Certainly mixing it up.

Delcroix be cb.

————————Trafford
Vitinho——AAD———Delcroix—Taylor
————————-Cullen
Odobert—Berge—Brownhill——Tresor
————————Foster

(Odobert and Tresor could be either side)

Interesting team. Beyer injured it looks like.

RVclaret

Not if you do him out muscled by the huge Keiran Trippier or bright on and subbed 10 minutes later against Luton where he looked like a little lad playing in a men’s league He’s clearly talented, but way way off physically Shall we consider when he was our best player against Man United? He got sub...

He’s class. Refreshing change from the knuckle draggers of the town making the headlines.

RVclaret

Didn’t Pope drop a clanger in his last game? Combine that with being useless at playing out like the manager wants and you have your reason he doesn’t need to see him at the age of 31.

RVclaret

What a finish

RVclaret

I’m yet to be convinced we’ll be good to stay up, and I question our starting line up at times after what some players did last season (particularly benson who looked set to tear this league up (Utd away, Bournemouth)) who aren’t getting a look in. Benson had no pre season. Started against Villa. C...

How that’s not given as handball on Lascelles I’ll never know

It’s an accidental handball. Literally headed it into his own hand! Accidental handballs don’t get given unless it’s the goalscorer.

Excellent pass from Trafford to start the 2nd goal

Will be interesting to see the logistics of this given the varying time zones and flight times.

Foster one was brilliant last night albeit of course sang at 1.5x speed

RVclaret

Already dreading Foster leaving to go to AFCON in January, surely with the amount of African players in the league now there’s an argument to postpone the league whilst AFCON is on Does it coincide with the Prem’s 2 week winter break at all? Also not sure South Africa are up to much so hopefully (s...

RVclaret

Thought Kompany got the tactics, shape and personnel spot on. Amdouni looked good coming off the left, seems such a naturally gifted player he can play anywhere. Koleosho was fun again if not a bit wasteful in promising positions. Felt it was a thoroughly deserved win over the 90 minutes after a rea...

Awful pundit and bloke.

RVclaret

First time visiting Luton & Kenilworth Road, interesting place. Surprised at some of the low ratings, thought we delivered a really strong first half, and aside from a 20-25 minute spell second half, dealt with their threat quite well. The Muric mob are onto Trafford it seems, yet this game last sea...

No, Kompany sacked soon as there will be too much pressure from Keys and Gray. Pace admits defeat and hires their suggestion Tony Pulis in an attempt to save the club from being financially obliterated.

RVclaret

We just cannot be hovering on 1-5 points after 10 games have been played. Forest had 6 points from the first 11 games last season with just one win. Two home defeats to the other two promoted teams Bournemouth and Fulham. They made a lot of summer changes too. They ended up staying up comfortably. ...

Is that the same XG that had spurs down at about 2.8 against us yet they scored 5? Exactly. 2 of their goals were outside the box screamers (low xG chances). In fact in the last 3 games we’ve conceded 3 stunning finishes and a penalty. It’s hardly been getting cut open which is what ‘woeful defendi...

Gone with O’Shea as I feel he’s more up to it physically in this one and used to a Championship style battle.

RVclaret

They could of put 8 past us yesterday, we are woeful defensively. Were trying to play a way this squad is incapable of playing at this level Can’t agree there. They had 2.5 xG to our 0.9 (bare in mind 0.75 of their total was from a daft penalty). I felt the defending yesterday and flow of the game ...

RVclaret

Couldn't agree more, now played 6 games and we haven't learnt anything. Worrying Can’t agree there. The overall defensive shape and structure is looking far better yesterday than previous games. Limited Newcastle to just 2 big chances in the match despite their constant pressure. Same team that put...

Defended set pieces really well.

You may already have seen I asked the same question on the Luton Tickets thread.

Helpful response:

Other recommendations, also. It will depend where you leave the M1.

Thanks Paul.

As well as being very good, he’s just so streetwise. Knows how to win fouls, knows how to play the ref, knows how to wind up opponents.

The lack of patience amongst some fans is frightening. It was exactly the same after half a dozen games last season. We’re integrating several new players and it’s a very young group. Time will tell if we’ve been naive in bringing in too many young talents or have strengthened the wrong areas, but ...

Nothing inept or spineless - but we were beaten by a better team.

That’s the biggest issue. We turned up with a team of 18-21 year olds and tried to out football the best pressing side in the league. I’d be surprised if anyone expected a win but a sensible approach might have been within reality? To be fair Brentford turned up to Newcastle with a more pragmatic a...
