Reality attack I suppose, we probably can't afford to buy much without selling and if we sell it's only the better players that will be targetted. Vicious circle, too much money wasted on average players last summer. Now if we could sell Long .......

Vince just seems to have no patience whatsover, tries to hoick everything "Over the Top Rank". Smith ...well I had him down to guide us through the sticky patches caused by Vince's impetuosity, perhaps he's just over the top now.

Ah I don't know, Ings and Sturridge might make a good pairing with the attacking midfielders that they have. I watched them against Chelsea on Sunday and I'd admit that most of what they do isn't all that bad but they've nothing at the sharp end to finish it off..well that and Sterling being a greedy hog.

Any cost arguement is totally negated by the fact that we wasted 12 million on a bit part player like Long. That is just totally unexplainable.

the main point that you have to consider is that even when we were playing well and scoring at the start of the season the bulk of the goals scored by our principal striker were against poor teams, 2 in the rout of Sunderland, 2 against an abysmal Newcastle. The fact is that Pellè is not good enough to score against better teams and we don't have an alternative having wasted 12 million pounds on Long. People will say you're a clown, an idiot..I can live with that but Koeman's tunnel vision concerning Pellè has been our downfall. Strikers like Pellè do not score shedloads of goals in the PL, he's not quick enough of foot or brain to be where he needs to be when he needs to be more often than not. Big lumps don't score a great deal in the PL any more.

OK...

9 from 3 is a bit of a tall order, trouble is we've taken 1 from 6 and that is just not acceptable for a side that's spent 70 million £ on players this season, plus a very very expensive loan. Just not good enough. Manager's fault.

Davis has played DM on occasions this season I think, when both Morgan and Victor were out. Can't remember which games, when they were both injured I suppose. We let Cork go before his time, there was no point in selling him off for a pittance before this summer, he's a good pro and would have done his best, we wanted the money that's all.

School holidays ? Anyway we don't need 2 idiots posting the same thing on every thread, sort it out mods.

But did not RK say that KD would be back in goal on Saturday, some interview with Blackmore or other ? Mind you that's not very reassuring either actually.

Still he started 5 games and scored 2 goals, better than Davis who's started loads and not scored at all, or JWP with 1 penalty to his credit.

Too much dutch, of course if we finish 6th or 7th I won't be saying that...well I might actually.

You jest I trust, we're sliding down the table because we can't score and we don't defend as well as we might, because we don't want to is utter bolloaks as far as EL qualification is concerned.

Well I expect us to win. We usually do a bit better at home than away and we might be able to put out a better side.

Torres was pretty good in the 2010 WC as well. Players peak and then drop away. All I remember about that final was the brutality of the Dutch.

Ah, I thought he said he didn't say that at all.

that being ?

Not really a "defector" but I notice that Gaston hasn't been included in the Uruguay preliminary 27 for the Copa America. Now that could be prejudicial to us if we had any remaining illusions about selling him (or even loaning him) to another English club except Hull.

It's a bit harsh all that, nevertheless we have spent 70 milion £ on inward transfers and our tail end of the season should be better.

Sakho was at St Etienne for a few years, only remember him as bog standard for the time. He's no spring chicken either, might be a sort of West Ham or Hull player but certainly not top of the table material.

In the Championship...and we've all seen just how much promoted teams struggle in the PL nowadays. The gap is too wide in general.

We had injuries last season as well, the nub of the affair is that last season Rickie,Jay and Adam scored 37 goals between them, how many have the current shower of shît that we call strikers scored?

Arsenal want to sign him dontcha know, him and about 36000 others.

Absolutely, Davis and Gazzaniga have played a handful of matches between them, we not scored in so many more.

Anyway with Elia perhaps the FA commission will notice him going over the top on Mahraz and give him a suspension. Doubt if we'll get that lucky though.
