I can't work out if you're disagreeing with me or what. Your last reply seemed to suggest you thought we couldn't press the opposition because we'd give away fouls, this one seems to suggest that calderon not pressing is the weakness they've identified (incidentally, in the palace and leeds...
It's not an either/or situation. It's not "try to win the ball and concede fouls every time you challenge" or "stand off and give them time and space to pick out passes/shots".
You can challenge for the ball, or even just pressure them when they have possession, and not concede free-kicks. The...
Is the break good? Two weeks until we can get back to winning ways. 14 days to dwell on a run of poor form. I know NSC is going to make depressing reading for the next ~334 hours. Can I also work in that it's 20,028 minutes until the team can give us something to cheer about?

Worst league winless run in Gus's tenure? 4 games, one draw.

6 with 4 draws (2009/10)

Gus say we're not a 3-3 team. I wish we were today.
He also wanted to create a bit of space between us and the teams below heading into the international break. If he doesn't get us to close down the opposition when they have the ball, we're going to be on the wrong end of the gap between the...
Game over. Not the sort of run you want before an international break. Defence needs sorting, we can't keep giving our opponents space and time on the ball.
Defenders gave him too much space, same as v leeds and palace. I'm going from frustrated by our defence to angry they aren't learning from their mistakes.
Don't get shirty with us because you can't be bothered to even skim a few pages of the thread.
