Defoe is cursed in 2013 in the league
Nope. AVB knows we have the capability to commit ghastly individual mistakes on a weekly basis, yet he sends our team out to be cautious and pessimistic for the entirety of the first half because he fears an end-to-end scramble? Nah. We could conceivably have been 2-0 down by half time but for a well executed set piece and an off-balance shot by Fletcher, which would ruin any plan AVB could come up with to turn the second half around.
Andre is a smart man: I refuse to believe he sets our team out to perform like that because he wants us to grow into the game. We are not solid enough to do that yet: even f*cking goalkeeper supreme Hugo Lloris is f*cking up regularly when in our colours. So the plan has to be domination from the first to the last if we are to have any chance of winning, and I think AVB knows this. I don't think the players do, however.
I have hope that he'll kick them up the backside and we'll get a victory here: that set-piece was vital. But it doesn't excuse the fact that we looked laboured for the first forty-odd minutes.
Pleased with the win. But WHERE THE **** DID THE 5 MINUTE EXTRA TIME COME FROM?
Should have been 5-1
