Need to change my pants, brb.
Agree. (apart from the 65% bit no way!)My analysis:
We were quality, very highly quality for about 65% of the game. Bale was absolute class and a joy to watch, Dembele was brilliant and our front line was moving up quickly. The problem I have with this game is in the other 45%. When teams are pressing that highly, with our formation and speed on the wings, we should be able to get counter-attacks going. I'm not sure if the issue is fitness, but there is an issue. We should be much more effective at reversing the play in these situations.
A brilliant 3 points - if maybe, we only deserved the draw.
Gallas on Suarez was never a foul...so shut up commentators.
Bale got fouled that was not a dive...can that be rescinded?
And that Suarez miss near the end? How far out was the ball the Pool boy hooked back?!?!
At the end of the day a great 3 points and the usual missing pieces, I hope, are becoming glaringly obvious for AVB.
Put simply:
- Gallas - I appreciate your effort, I really do - but please no more. Get Verts in at CB with Daws until all fit.
- We miss the ability of Ade to hold the ball up big time.
We're doing OK with a team that is not the best that is available - and for that AVB should be applauded - we're in the mix and when we get Kaboul, BAE, Dembele, Ade, Parker all up and running we'll finish the season stronger than we started it.

One man's correction is another man's, 'you're talking out of you arse'.I corrected it for you!
Yeah, we should be quality for the full 110% of the game

It's not totally his fault but imo he has to accept some of the blame for these performances.
He also made a few crucial interceptions/tackles in the second half, especially the one late on on Suarez, although he caused that problem himself by misjudging the ball over the top. All the back four made errors tonight, so it wasn't just any one persons fault that we looked a bit shakey back there.Marginally, but no defender can look 100% comfortable when the rest of the team just switches off for 45 minutes.
Ade back soon. BANG
3 Points from 3rd.
Some of you need to go to bed!! Man u play shit and win, they have a winning mentality. We play shit and win, we're shit FFS, be happy we've got 3 points and a win over L'Pool
Was it actually a dive?
