Guest Posted February 11, 2014 Think we can keep the ball better. Hooper and Fer could do with making it stick further up the pitch so we can push out. At times West Ham were launching it a bit too frequently into our back four.On a more positive note, Yobo looks a bit good, doesn''t he. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FastAsHuck 0 Posted February 11, 2014 Just looking at the half time highlights, Nathan Redmond has had a great game so far making several good decisions, good ball to snoddy and hoops for their respective chances, keep this up and we could come away with 3 points tonight. Extremely satisfied with the performance tonight, it''s nice to be up and shouting with these decent chances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alejandra 0 Posted February 11, 2014 There has to be a point where we stop being ''unlucky not to score'' and actually start doing the business, as it''s been an issue all season.Starting in the second half, the rot stops tonight, 2 or more goals please!!

Badger 2,407 Posted February 11, 2014 Have to disagree Purple. We have played 2 up top a lot this season and imo, we look better without it. Our strikers are not being that clinical either! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We''ve played 4-4-2 in a number of games and looked as likely or less (IMO) than with one striker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I much prefer one up front, providing someone gets forward from midfield. I was just pointing out that there is a downside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
