There's always two sides to a coin. We were great at times, other times abysmal.

V.Ginkel was not the problem today, he played quite well in fact I still for the Fonz! He's not as good as Fonz for sure but he was OK today. The problem is that there is a massive gap between MvG & Whelan and the players opposite them which leaves them exposed. |

We're just a shambles at the minute for me. But then that doesn't surprise when you see who we have at the back. It's why I've been so worried all summer. Genuinely think we'll struggle. |

At last, a positive OP. Agreed, the first half showed our potential. MVG looked a lot better and having Walters and Bojan up front seemed to make a difference. The penalty rattled us and stirred them up.

We are a million miles away from keeping a clean sheet. Until we rectify this problem we will struggle. We need a fit Shawcross back ASAP!

There's nothing to click imo.
The managers biggest failure so far is his failure to play somebody into the number 10 role. As soon a Bojan played we looked 10x better as we did v Spurs when Ireland came one. So why the hell did he persist in the first 5 games with 4-1-4-1???

We were fucking excellent first half, as the OP said, we are getting very close.

When was the last time we put two halves of football together though?
We didn't vs Liverpool.
Did we vs Spurs? I can't remember that game tbh!

We need more of the first half performance, they couldn't put anything together, we were first to every ball, Wilson looked comfortable and in control... then the second half came and they scored, after that we completely unwound and i don't know why

We didn't put 2 good halves together when we won 6-1 was my Liverpool reference, I didn't make that clear. |

Today we were missing Diouf and Shawcross and Bojan is some way off fully fit so look forward a few weeks and we will be flying. van Ginkel improving every game, Shaq settling in . It's a long season and we will get stronger every week |

Its as simple as that. Agree with this, apart from Whelan and Pieters there is noone else that seems to be a strong character on the pitch. |
