Afraid to Progress?

Ok, so here we go - an opportunity to go level on points with Villa and Liverpool, and we freeze when we have the chances.

I refuse to put this game down to one of them games, and the old "we could play till the sun goes down and still not score".

I honestly believe there is a mental block both with the players and the manager.

22 shots on goal. 22!!!

Moyes certainly has some blocks, chiefly around playing "highly experienced dependable good pro" Neville, sending "young inexperienced rookie" Coleman on loan, and in the absence of Arteta, picking Osman in front of Billy.

He would be ******* crap at Poker.

I think every team could have this thread on one of their forums Ghost.

Look at today. Villa had every chance of 4th and have fell to bits, getting stuffed 7-1 today.

Arsenal, chasing the title - draw 1-1 with Birmingham

Nah not having that.

Villa would have done well to get a point at Chelsea, and Arsenal are Arsenal.

But were all been talking recently that we should be top 4 at least with the players we have - basing that on beating City, Utd, Chelsea etc... but not beating poor teams like Wolves twice, is a problem. Top 4 teams get there by being consistent and beating lesser teams.

Did we freeze when we took 4th place? Did we freeze on Wednesday?

No.

As i said in the match thread you just have to suck it up and accept that we didnt win the game.

It happens. There were 11 human beings out there today not robots.

Have to agree with GOT here, games like this are the reason why Man United have won the league so many times in recent years. Away from home against a struggling side, scrape a 1-0 with a goal from a squad player.

When we got 4th spot we well froze, did you not see our European exploits and the 11th placing we achieved following that season? seriously mate if your going to muster an opinion you have to have some facts to back it up.

And to talk about City? The point I have been making is that we get ourselves into great positions and then waste it.

Do you not think the same line could be used on 19 Premiership forums at the end of every season?

"Not beating _____ cost us achieving _____".

For me, thats just football.

To be honest mate, what Arsenal do or any of the other 18 clubs do, doesn't concern me. It concerns me when Everton have a chance to get to a place where they may not have thought they could get to, well then it pisses me off. It's not like they were all over us, players out there who earn [Poor language removed] loads of money have failed to take a chance - and that pisses me off too.

Just getting a little bit sick of being in this nearly man position. Unfortunately I can't accept it as one of those games and laugh it off.

I'm ok, your not going to see a BB here.

Win, lose or draw I like to analyse the team and where they are at the moment (if i hear that ******* go compare ad one more time i'm going to kill myself, it's not a cry for help - i'm going to ******* do it). WHere was I? Yeah, there must be a reason why the club seems to stop themselves from taking chances, it's not just today, it stems back to the top 4 finish, the fa cup final, the carling cup semis. It frustrates me, I want to see us win something soon, or **** it i'm going to sack football off.

This is a wonderful possession, let's take it to the score cards:

Various ranted swear words: CHECK.

Threatened self harm: CHECK.

Threaten to leave football for good: CHECK.

Well I'm glad I amuse you.

Sorry for being a fan who cares for my team.

I'll just chalk it up to experience then.
