That said, we do have to start playing the 'lesser' teams like every game is a cup final. Need to remove that occasional complacency.
However badly we might have played today, even the most critical fan must surely be happy with the fantastic spirit and mental strength of this team.
But we did. First 15 we hit the post and there keeper made a great save.It's a mark of a good team to come back so many times like we have done.
It's a mark of a GREAT team to come out of the blocks aiming to smash teams from the very beginning
A point we gained from a game they thoroughly deserved to win.
Perspective.
Anyway, way to find something negative to bring to this thread.
They thoroughly deserved to win and drew, some of our rivals (MU and Arsenal amongst) deserve to lose and win.
It's just called realism.
Liverpool are already up against Saints, yeah, of course it's worth celebrating based on the fact we were 0-2 down, but we should never have been, similar to how we never needed to let Liverpool score 3 goals against us. Call it tiredness or laziness, but just because we beat Arsenal means nothing and they need to know that. That's three bad results after a win, after we beat Chelsea we lost to Palace, drew with Burnley, knocked out by Leicester (not the right order).
I think it's fine and dandy being optimistic, but there's a difference between that wilful ignorance. Come squeaky bum time, Arsenal and Liverpool are stepping it up and we are once again slacking off. Honestly, would you rather beat Arsenal and finish below them, or lose to them and finish above them?
Our squad mentality remains one of a small-time team. Not a death sentence, but far off from our targets.
Is it only me who can't lip read what he's saying (even when I know what it's supposed to be)
I don't mean to be a knob mate, but you seem to constantly point to events that have happened in one specific match to make your points about us as a team and it just isn't valid in that contextBut we did. First 15 we hit the post and there keeper made a great save.
We totally dominated up and until.
Then we backed off for some reason.
Something for Poch to work on.
I agree to an extent.I don't mean to be a knob mate, but you seem to constantly point to events that have happened in one specific match to make your points about us as a team and it just isn't valid in that context
I'm talking in general terms about us over the entire season. We come out of the blocks quickly sometimes, score, then we seem to just chill and think 'Ah, it's cool, we're 1-0 up that will do at the end of the match' but that's not how football works and 'winners' after they score that goal will be wanting to get straight back to that half way line to keep twisting the knife. We show a real 'never say die' mentality, but we are far from the winning mentality that we all want to see
Yeah, absolutely and we're showing signs of improvement in the area I've mentioned over the last couple of months, but I still feel against the teams we are superior to we really act like we know it and that's a really bad thing. My attitude as a player when I was younger and took football very seriously was 'I'm better than you and I'm going to tear you apart and prove it!' not 'I'm better than you, so I can just chill and take it easy because of that'I agree to an extent.
But it is MPs first season.
That's why I'm saying something to work on.

We've gone from being cowards and pussies to having this as our mantra, grabbing points in the last minutes/seconds of games.
Fucking love it!
Well on the one hand, we might say we were lucky to get a point, considering they had the best of the match for long periods. But considering that their 2nd goal was offside by any sensible interpretation of the rule, and that Nobel should clearly have been sent off, they might say the same.
Jordan's new kid will be Oscar Nobel Price.TBF to the lad, he had been up most of the night handing out peace prizes LoL
Or do you mean West Ham player Mark NOBLE?
