Still hurts this morning...
Sun Feb 09, 2014 8:29 am
Normally after a defeat, I'm pissed off for an hour, then I let it go and just avoid watching MOTD that day.
This one hurts a lot though - I'm still pissed off about it, partly because it was Swansea but more so because we simply surrendered and Ole's team selection was very dubious.
That Noone and Mutch should have been included is obvious - we all agree on that, I think.
One thing that has been proved to me, is that Super Kev is our best defensive right back, whether he's slow or not - when you've got Noone in front of him, Kev's lack of pace doesn't matter so much. Fabio is just poor (and not even a right back?) and KTC is half tidy going forward but Noone has made him redundant - defending isn't KTC's strong point.
We seemed to revert back to Malky tactics, with Turner launching the ball to Campbell - we already know that doesn't work.
People can say the next game is a must win, but we've been saying that since Sunderland. Generally, teams who say that game after game normally end up going down. It's the same kind of talk that Wales put out when they say they're building for the future - a line they've trotted out for the past 20 years...
I honestly believe that the only game we've been totally outplayed in this season, was the Arsenal home game. Most of the time, we've lost due to our own poor performance and silly mistakes.
Ole should never have rotated the squad the way he did for Swansea. I just hope he learns from this now, because we're very much in a relegation battle.

It's going to get a whole lot worse with this idiot in charge. 
Sack him now and we've got a chance at fighting our way out of it.
