    Re: 2013-14 EPL Thread.

    Most of them are good players but we seem to lack any cohesion going forward. Players are static and there is no link between our midfield and attack. Starting to wonder about AVB, the lack of movement and still not looking good going forward after 1.3 years is a concern. Defensively we are fine (obviously besides last night)

      Yeah I've watched a number of Spurs games and you just aren't dangerous in midfield transition to attack. Look good in possession but you can tell they get frustrated looking for a final ball and in the end someone takes a long shot that rarely troubles any keeper.

      In this mornings game you still had something like 13 shots but many were taken too far out in frustration.

          Spurs really should have bought Benteke or Negredo as Soldado doesnt suit the way they play.

            I thought Spurs were a more quality side that wouldn't lose 6-0 like that.

              Difficult for him when he's largely up there by himself though.

                That's what I mean. Soldado is a second striker/poacher and they play him as a stand alone striker. Negredo/Benteke thrive playing alone up front and would have cost the same as Soldado.

                  Yep which is weird as last year he was exactly the striker we needed and this year we are playing sooo slowly that he always has 6 defenders around him.

                    It is strange as you've added a lot of attacking players to your squad this season.

                      Bit unlucky for Cardiff, Rooney should have been sent off before he scored.

                        Speaking of Benteke, 6 games without a goal now. Missed 2 penalties(? 100% on him missing 1) in that time too.

                            I love Mesut Ozil and Mathieu Flamini.
                            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                              Arsenal fans were questioning Flamini coming back, weren't they?
                              The manager was under fire as well.
                              The world game's a fickle temptrous , isn't it?
