There is a knack to holding the line, rotating the ball, and re-grouping. Juventus showed us how to do it, and we should learn from them.

You're also being too nice. Get over yourselves Gary and Darren, you were beaten - and fairly.

The game was too end to end and that played into spurs hands. Pleased that the manager didn't blame the officials as every other manager in this league would have I think Nasri should start when Silva isn’t there, he can help us control possession and work an opening.

You could see the heads and shoulders drop and an 'oh no here we go again!' And that was on the pitch. So, most if not all supporters at the West Ham game were again shocked to sera repeat performance only this time we camped out in the West Ham half for the 2nd half but couldn't get through. Why? Well to be frank some of the team just don't know how to motivate themselves when we go behind and those that do know how are not playing. We also have what seems to me developed an annoying habit of when we do have a chance to break we seem to have decided to pull up, let the other team get and back then pass the ball all over the pitch till someone 'Sterling' looses the ball or Navas takes two to many touches and stuffs the cross. Sadly, SA is wearing the wrong boots and on the wrong feet or he's auditioning for dancing on ice as he's slipping all over the place! His accuracy or ability to connect with the ball seems to have left him for the moment and it's done so at the wrong time not that there's ever a good time. Maybe his international games have drained him but, he'll get his mojo back just hope it's sooner rather than later. Sterling seems timid and his final shot needs work, Navas! Yes lots of pace but his decision making when it comes to the final del is woeful. Kolorov! Where's the Kolorov that played brilliantly against Chelski? He's seems to have reverted to type and is back to his lazy ways. We're picking up too many injuries during training! Why? There was a time players would be desperate to playing and if they're fit enough to be on the subs bench then they should and maybe we wouldn't have seem the awful decisions that were made against Spurs!! I finds self with those nagging doubts that we could loose any game in the blink of an eye and we can't figure out how to fight back and this comes from the management team. Pellegrini instead of showing some fire over the appalling offside decisions on Sat for which we should have an apology as HWebb couldn't inter stand how the hell the blatant Spurs offsides weren't given and when Demechelis shows a little back bone for pointing out the obvious gets booked and everyone is supposed to have respect for the officials is too one sided, they apologised for the L'pool B'mouth game! But Pellegrini has been fined previously so now won't say boo to a goose. the only time I'd rotate is for the Capital one cup, all the others unless injured AND physically unable to play We should keep the same team! That way they'd get game time and we could blood more our our emerging talent. We need to look at the training too. We don't have a right to win every game but we can go down fighting and with imagination. Oh and I don't know of any city supporters who hate Spurs.
