And people were asking when the clubs last gesture was....
Tottenham cant defend for toffee, but you've got to try and attack them, you can't go punting balls on to the heads of their 6ft+ defenders for 90 minutes and expect goals.
It's the sort of basic defending you'd expect even the likes of Sunderland to be able to do.

Not to have our central midfield pair score a goal this season?

I think I'm still traumatised from the Tottenham game.
At twenty minutes in the thought 'We're going down' hit me and hasn't left.

Yep. Been depressingly similar ever since.

That could win the Prem and still have a group of supporters that would find something to complain about!

You trying to say our strikers arent as good as the 16 other teams that have managed to score, or the service isn't?......

Neither. You said that we needed to attack them (intimating that we didn't) and I was just pointing out that we did attack them and we were close to scoring twice.

Ahh I see.
Maybe explains why we've started being more cautious then, if when we attack and neatly score 2, we conceed 5 and look ed all over the place.
Fair one, good point

There is plenty to be concerned and therefore complain about-besides that is what football fans do. Here are a few understandable gripes:
our recruitment has been appalling for years
our football is dire by prem standards
we play the same team even if it is losing
we buy and loan players and do not play them even though the ones on the pitch are either knackered or out of form
it even took two years to complete the corner infills!

The bloody corner infills, if there's just one reason we end up relegated..........

I think Sean + the players have been like a rabbit in the headlights ever since that defeat. I have been hoping they might turn things around but no signs yet.....

Bournemouth, possibly the only team currently worse than us.
