I wasn’t going to bother posting post match comments after yesterday, but after reading through some of the utter F***ing garbage and typical plastic fan reactions I thought I may as well contribute, so here’s my tuppence worth.....
...we have been f***in sh*te for months now, even before the end of last season, and if we are all totally honest since we were crowned Champions, since then we have been going downhill, the games we played immediately after lifting the epl trophy we were sh*te, we all put it down to having a massive collective hangover & the no longer required intensity having reached our holy grail, then the season ended eventually amongst this extraordinary and unprecedented year, and then almost immediately started a new one, in hindsight now, in my opinion, we should never have started a new season, and I mean football in general not just in the UK, but we did, and as we all know, we didn’t actually have much of a pre-season nor the chance for players, especially our players to rest, recuperate & re-charge batteries,
We started fairly well, we were where we were expected to be as Champions, not at our best but chugging along without any real issues, then BOOM, we get N-Everton away and the double GBH assault on Virgil & Thiago, and the rest is history, well sort of, ....
Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Trent AA, Fabinho, Naby Keita, James Milner, Jordan Henderson, Sheridan Shaqiri, Roberto Firmino, Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota...
All of those players , look at them, look at their names, and look where they play in our team, Four of them are our back 4, two out for the whole season, one injury prone & unreliable, and one who is fatigued, all of those players were the reason we became Champions,
The next four are part of our engine, & the steel, they dictate play, protect the back 4 and supply the front three with the kind of service that wins you titles, one of them is our Captain who is pivotal in how we control tempo, fluidity and keeps everyone in the loop, another is our vice captain and most experienced player we have, he’s the one we turn to when we hit a sticky patch or when things aren’t quite going to plan, one is our protector and provides cover all along the back line, breaks up attacks and sets up our attack, the last but not least one we still haven’t seen the best of, he’s a jack of all trades, he can defend and attack, he likes to get forward and join everything together,
That’s ten, yes you read it right, Ten of our players who won us the Premier League title last season, Four of which are long term season ending injuries, Six are long period injuries, like Six weeks or more, and two of them are this season signings both out long term, like 8 - 10 weeks,
Where is the spine of our team, where is the midfield of our team, all of those players aside from one or two form part the system we play, they are regular starters, first name on the team sheet, can you imagine any other team, squad, club anywhere in the world who could cope with what we as a club have had to this season in particular?
It’s not about FSG being tight bas**rds and they don’t back Jürgen, that’s just sheer and utter ignorance of our state of play, look at our injuries, look at what we have as back up, our bench, no one hardly complained about the bench last season when we we’re pissing all over the league, this season is done for me aside from the CL, WE WILL finish top 4, I have absolutely no qualms about that at all, we have just completed real tough period of games, we have players on the periphery returning from injury for a much needed boost, and, ppl, we are not playing that badly when you consider the players we have missing, We will turn this around, we just need to keep believing,
there are a few of you on here who purportedly are our fans, You know who you are , You have been called out by posters on here, some are obviously trolls from other clubs winding us up, I don’t care who they are cos their all cu*ts to me, I’ve had one or two run ins with them already so I’m not sinking to their levels, but I do think if bona fide posters should out these plastic cu*ts at every opportunity without fear of the Mods handling out bans, maybe for new members it would be a good idea to have a longer ‘On Trial’ period, say first 50 posts, I dunno, but what is clear is that there are too many WUMS & Trolls filtering through, I’ve been posting since 2008 and never known this forum to have as many negative contributions as there is now, but we’re Champions, go figure?
