Did we win or lose ...... that says even more !!!
We lost on a penalty shootout (which is a lottery) and not actually playing football, by a team that beat some top European clubs. We went to their home and not only got two goals back but held them to a draw on their own ground with 10 men. As I said in a previous post. Skill is one thing, luck players also a part.
Without our star players we just are not good enough, take off the rose tinted glasses and take a good long look because we are going to struggle to stay in the top four. Have you noticed how our rivals for the top four are all now coming into form and we are dropping points !!
I really hope I'm wrong but this could be a long and painfull end to the season !!!
The critic always looks at the dissenter and says he is looking “through rose tinted glasses” because he doesn’t think he is ever wrong. I try to deal with facts.
Fact one: we have done well without Bale, Lennon and others. In both games I thought we were a better side and had most of the game. Remember with Lennon and Bale in we lost to Everton, with them out we drew 2-2 and were the better side.
Fact two: We are in a healthy position (so-far) and did well in the Europa league. To properly judge we need to look at the end of the season with a clear head.
Fact three: as I said in a previous post to you. Forget what I think, the sports journalists – and even the fans – think AVB and Spurs are doing well. I go to all the matches (home) and I haven’t spoken to anybody who is as critical as you are (I tell a lie, I met Baldbloke at Spurs). In fact the majority on this forum are quite positive about AVB and Spurs. I am certainly not looking through rose tinted glasses.
The time to assess how we’ve done this season is at the end of the season, not when we are on a healthy position. You could be right but as things stand at the moment you are not.
