Case against the defence

I'm as euphoric as the next fan after our comeback but once I saw Sakho was out I feared for our defence. Unfortunately Dann and Tomkins are not quite good enough and the movement of Hernandez was always likely to trouble them. But Ayew's goal... I know Millo lost the ball but any other Premier defence would have taken Ayew out (and conceded the booking) but Tomkins let him through for an admittedly very good strike on goal.
West Ham were there for the taking and will probably be one of the weakest teams we will play all season but we gave ourselves too much to do.

West Ham were awful... We probably won't play a worse team this season.

 


Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

All valid points.

Love the mini triumphs every now and then even though 1 point is just clinging on for dear life rather than it being pretty much over, but it all just feels so inevitable. If you cannot or you struggle to score you cannot get anywhere, no matter how good you are before you get near goal. Believe me I've been there.

We're 5 points from safety, scored four goals in three games. Fairly unlucky against Newcastle and if not for a motm performance from Hart would have won today.

I honestly don't know why you're so bang on sure we're going down?

If not for FdB we'd likely have an extra 6 points and would you be saying the same then?

Yes we got to make up them 6 points, but crikey its certainly not inevitable we won't...

Desperately need a genuine PL quality keeper. Neither Jules (current vintage) nor Wayne are good enough and the points we've lost and will continue to lose as a result aren't ones we can afford to throw away.

 


Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune)

Crikey you are on a downer.....plenty of time left and only 5 points adrift. Take a chill pill and holiday and come back in 2018.
