This is on Tricky as he let that other cnut in on the old forum to bring us all here.
What a horrible game to lose. It’s as if we decided to defend the lead and not even bother passing the half way line by putting on Andrew fcuking ayew on to do what exactly?
Navas was badly positioned for equalizer and after that it was going to end badly
Barry dropping dead and being stuck with 10 just doesn’t fucking look good does it?
If we lose to Southampton, I think that’s it. And what’s our chance of that - optimistically 60%? Then we probably need another win against the team currently top of the league or to get our second away win of the season at Palace or Chelsea. I think we’re probably about 20-30% chance of staying up.
Why do you think that it's optimistic to give us a 60% chance of losing at home where we just beat one of the best teams in the league, to the worst team in the league?
60% is a pretty high probability for a win against two relatively evenly matched teams (30 points v 24). And Southampton's away record is much better than their home.
Interesting analysis from Kasper Schmeical just now on Sky regarding Navas at the weekend.
He thought neither goals were errors as couldn’t see them. First the wall was massively at fault and then the Brentford player in the way. Says you simply can’t react.
The first one is not in doubt. If Navas had stood still, watched it go in and shouted at Kouyate afterwards, no one would have criticised him for the goal. The wall is there to stop that shot.
