Crunch time coming up,where we need points on the board in the next few matches. It's not as if we're playing badly,with all that possession,but we lack the killer instinct in front of goal. We murdered Villa up there,they couldn't get the ball off us,yet we came away with only a draw,how are they two points ahead of us?
Many times I've watched us warm up before matches,and part of the routine is queueing up to take shots on goal. All the players more often than not blast it into the net,but once the match starts they're shot shy,and pass the ball to a team mate like a hot potato rather than shoot,what's all that about?
Come on boys,get stuck in and shoot,if you don't get a shot in you don't score,even if the shot is blocked by a defender there's the chance of a deflection.
We're also conceding goals when teams counter attack with pace. Our midfield are not tracking back and helping the defenders, leaving us exposed, especially out wide. We saw with the two goals conceded against Man

Hi

Looking fwd to our game on sun with 2 attacking sides who like to knock the ball around!

Difficult to predict but an entertaining 2 - 2 draw seems about right!

Good luck for the rest of the season!
;D

Hi DEVONSPUR. I would snatch your hand off for a draw right now,as we need points on the board. Nine of our first team players are injured,including star men Michu,Dyer,Pablo,and De Guzman,so you can see why we've been struggling for points recently.
It was a tight game at WHL earlier in the season,and it needed a Spurs penalty to separate the sides,but with all our injuries it's going to be tough to get anything out of tomorrow's match.

Good game to watch!!

Much better than Chelski v ManUre!!

Could have gone either way as Bony terrified our defence!!

Don't lose faith in Laudrup as he plays the game in the right way!

Good luck for the future!
