Ramsey is not the answer discuss?

[nasser95]

But those things are things that all managers need to cope with not just him. What about playing Phillips on the left when he has been great on the right why change a good thing, what about exposing Furlong to Sanchez midweek

He mentioned that Isla had a strain and wasn't worth risking. Phillips on the left still got us plenty of good crosses. Don't think these are real tactical errors in truth. We need to stop looking for the smallest reason to blame him. To me, what cost us today was Rio being damningly awful and the ref in particular allowing tottenham to play their game until we got the ball and almost immediately we would get flagged up.
BTW, out of curiosity, did anyone see pocchetino getting way too involved on the pitch twice today? surely he should have been sent off (Along with Mason)

Nasser you a super upbeat and positive individual but there is no harm or disloyalty in saying something is wrong in fact there is actually positives from saying its not working as by doing so you can put in place measures to rectify the problem. Blaming luck, injuries etc etc is just burying our heads and just delaying finding the solution

I'm not saying there isn't a problem. I'm saying that the problem isn't Ramsey, it is the individual who should know better on the pitch. The fact of today is that Rio was being schooled on defending from Caulker and when that happens, you know your career is farked.

It never worked so if that is the game plan it failed

What if we scored those chances where the ball hit the wood work or scored the penalties that should've been rewarded??

Imho the plan is sort of working. I know that sounds focking stupid considering the 4 defeats but like mentioned before we do actually look more organised. And 'again' lost because of bad luck and bad refereeing...

Could not disagree more what cost us was Green flapping at yet another cross which sent us in one Nil down when it should have been all square/ Plus is crosses from the left are not half as good as the ones from the right

How you can pinpoint Rio but ignore Green is odd

Yes saw him going crazy when there player was down moaning the ref should have blown up what he failed to notice was that Kane his own bleeding player was the one that played on

Caulker was as bad as he has been all season did you not see him present the ball to Spurs when they should have scored??? how many times did he let the ball bounce

[upperloft]

Oh yeah, so it's CR fault? Think the damage has been done for a longtime. Think we were down before CR took over. Terrible squad, with an attitude to match.

I do blame green for the first one but overall, im saying the performance of rio cost the team.

[Harryboy]

He ain't doing himself any favours playing swp and toillet, surly adel, vargas, zarate can't be all injured. He as got to drop Bobby for vargas IMO

We do look more organised Nick but nothing other then that has changed. Working would be changing the defeats by the odd goal to draws but we still lose and make basic errors every game which cost goals

[nasser95]

yes I saw the one incident but i also saw numerous tackles and aerial duels being won. He defended well bar that one moment of hesitancy.

[Olly]

But if Harry made some of the decisions Ramsey did there would be uproar i.e. Phillips has been a different player on the right and has delivered some beautiful crosses and in recent games hes been the main threat Ramsey moves him to the left.

Caulker has been shocking and again today gave them a chance they should have scored from so if Nedum was fit he should have stayed at CB and Caulker dropped to the bench and Isla slotted in at RB where he has been decent enough this season. Sandro were told should not play 90mins so he takes Henry off who is arguably player of the season and leaves Sandro on all very odd decisions

I could go on as other said above likable fella but we don't need a likable fella we need a manager who can pull rabbits out the hat. Its all ifs and buts but Harry should have gone after West Ham and Pulis brought in

Was that when green played him into trouble with a short ball?

[West Acton]

I do blame green for the first one but overall, im saying the performance of rio cost the team.

How is it Rio fault then??? you just said that Green cost us the first goal so how can you point the blame on one man??? and not the other who initied out backs being against the wall

[West Acton]

Midweek taking time on ball getting robbed off it by two Arsenal players again he got away with it. Hes not half as good as some make out hes as bad as if not worse then Rio
