How arsed are you about losing to Norwich

[ianefc]

I'm dissapointed, can't deny it, but if and it is an if we beat Palace and Bournemouth then all is good again.

It's also going to do a fantastic job of weeding out those with the anti-Koeman agendas.

The sooner that's on the table the better.

I guess it means we now have less fixtures and can concentrate on the league.

To paraphrase the great Ron Swanson... I'd rather be whole arsed in one comp than half arsed in two

I think Palace is going to a big challenge...they look very good

Much more than I should be.

But then I'd like to see us win something in my lifetime. Unlike others on here it seems.

I've seen us win loads lad, it's boss

I agree, plus they've taken 7 points from the last 9 avaliable at Goodison.

So has my dad but I almost get the impression he'd rather us younger ones didn't get to share in the glory lol

Strange how many people will say it is a Mickey Mouse Cup only once we have been knocked out and never before!

I'm really not arsed about losing to Norwich - what I'm arsed about is what that performance represented moving forward, and that's a complete lack of depth to cope with injuries and suspensions over a 38 game season.

So 0% arsed about going out of that cup and 0% arsed about losing to Norwich in it, but 100% arsed about the next three months. The January window is going to be massive, but the hope now is that we can get to it in a league position where we can still compete for Europe.

Totally with the Tube on this one. If Lukaku gets injured, we are reliant on Kone. Valencia looks more like a winger to me, he certainly isn't an option as a striker if we are looking to play as we have so far this season. Still, Koeman has said we need to be able to play in different ways and I've always thought so but that kind of development in the team isn't going to happen quickly.

I'm arsed, but nowhere near as arsed as I'd be if Bobby was still here. Ronnie won't tolerate players who either don't try or are simply not good enough. This is the first test of his management, he'll sort it out...will take time but he'll sort it out.

Koeman is still learning about his squad and the depth within it. He is no fool and will have learned a lot tonight.

Yep, it almost garenetees a win at Bournenouth.

 

[Gladystweet]

I'm about 30% arsed, but as always, there's never a 30% arsed option.. I'm about 83% arsed about that...

Never like see us losing, but in the context of where we are at the minute, it's far from the end of the World.

Shows how weak we are without the spine of Jags, Barry and Rom though, we've work to do in January and we need to escape injuries to those key players, so this could end up proving to be a blessing in disguise
