I would have loved to see a striker and a proper playmaker.

The biggest problem IMHO is the lack of a proper player within the squad; someone who can pass the ball through the lines. We basically hoof the ball hoping for the best. Sadly our attacking players seem clueless on where/how to run when we are in possession. That's on TF to sort out.

Surely he's not as stupid as he comes across?!

I agree, it has been far too cautious, but I'm hoping that the focus now is on creating a better understanding of what we will do with the ball in open play. Looking at Brentford last year 72% of their 66 (!) goals came from open play; which suggests we will see improvement in this area.

I hope.

Frank said Vic will be ready for Chelsea. A minor thing needed to be done could mean anything (could even mean that it's not an injury).

Hmm, I do think we wanted it as much as they did, but they were efficient and were handed a goal at the wrong time.

We're really missing a striker of class.

Very positive display from Xavi today

Richy is too patchy. Glimpses of greatness but his lowest performance level is beyond acceptable

That I can agree with but all in all I think we deserve more tonight

Hmm, I think we're quite good at that tonight. Despite 2-0 down there's a lot of positives tonight

I'm not only talking about today and injuries. It's the constant waffling about how everything is shit & will get worse. I see a good team out there today.

Will we get better when players get fit; yep. Are we playing the way I want to: no. Will we do it in time; dunno bull we will improve.

I guess my positivity is why I hate "Spursy". For me that's a term created out of a negative figment of imagination that has no factual basis whatsoever.
