A point away is a point away. They beat Chelsea the other day, they've got their tails up. We should have won, but it's no disaster.
And I couldn't disagree more with the "we're shit" brigade.
Our performance was pretty good. There was plenty to admire for anyone maintaining a degree of mental balance. The stats back it up as well. FFS, we had:
70% possession
Seven shots on target to their zero
Fifteen shots overall to their three
Pass success of 86%
That's really not a "shit" performance.
We still need a proper CF, and a midfield magician. That's not 'News'. We already know that, we've known it for a long time, and it's still true. Until we fill in those missing pieces we will continue to do everything but score against these teams.
NO!!!! AVB OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND SMEARED WITH JAM AND PUT IN A BEEHIVE!!!!!!!!!!We had the desire and skill. QPR defended very well. Kept their shape and organisation.
That's what teams down the bottom should do. Well done Harry.
Nothing to be ashamed of for us and AVB.
Scary when he isn't on his dribbling A-game how medoicre he looked.It's actually more an issue with Dembele, we all know he's great at dribbling past people. But today he just got pushed off. He doesn't really have the passing range/ability to compensate.
Balls!We want the finest strikers available to humanity, we want them here and we want them now!
No, the stats merely back up my judgement of our performance. This isn't FM, my opinion comes from watching the game - the stats back up my perception though.You are reeling off stats without actually analyzing their usage.
Really poor. Hard to say who was worst. Ade, Bale, Walker were all dire!
We really need an all-round striker to play up front on his own - Defoe is not big enough and Ade struggles to shoot.
