you will be 'shouted down' for being a bed wetter

he and fonte and to a degree, wanyama have improved us defensively a huge amount. shame the forwards keep fluffing chances/hitting the woodwork

I think this player is excellent looks the muts nuts if you ask me

he clearly offers as a big unit in front of the back 4. our goals against shows how much he has helped (throw in lovren too) we just dont look like conceding on the break and he is a brick **** house his passing is terrible but I think that would be improved (along with morgan) had we went back to what served us well last season and stop having 2 strikers and adding a davis/ramirez in the middle to provide more options again, his passing is terrible and you can see why no top club would pay £10m+ for him. saying that, he is only 21 and will only improve. should he do that (and he will) we will have a beast on our hands

I would go with ---------Boruc Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw -----Cork---Morgan --------Davis Rodriguez--------Lallana -------Osvaldo Davis, chambers, Yoshida, JWP, Lambert, Wanyama, Ramirez

they are what they are. we were even worse in the same 4 games we have just had last season

can we not go on the celtic site and laugh at how outraged they were at selling him to someone outside of the top 4. he is THAT good apparently

I personally thought that our best games generally came when we had davis in the middle. he is a busy player and got forward well

you must weight this argument by mentioning the magical 10 game leverage that SWF gives. it was like that when we had pardew. 10 games

its not as hard. hence why we have 5 points even those 4 games last season did not bring us 5 points we also, had let in 14 goals at this point last season.

if we play 2 up top, we will get humped

Playing two up top is turning is into stoke

Norwich also spent a great deal this window and finished above us last year

Will also add Last season, we got 2 points from the very same 4 fixtures. 1 game we were utterly embarrassed (WBA away) how come they were not "considerably" easy last season?

Hardest start by anyone in over 20 years Massive LOL Was that why we got beat at home by the mighty Wigan or in games 5-10 we were just not that good? It took what, 10 games+ to get the points we already have now? Reading was a gold game last season, were they as good as man united?

It's not about playing in the hole. It's about having a 3rd CM allowing 1 or 2 of them to support the striker. Playing lambert in the hole is as good as playing 2 up top

Just another point. If we go 442 at anfield, we will get pumped

Which is our problem. Lack of options in the middle, forcing us to more direct. I think we will see lambert rotated to the bench soon enough. If we persist with this then we will be awful to watch and be in a full on relegation scrap

Who would you go with at the mo to take us forward? I think 1 of them has to miss out most games to get another player in the middle of the park Thought osvaldo looked good today. Good movement, obviously should have scored but linked up really well Sad to say it, but I would go with ossie. Be a huge call to drop lambert for a run of games

Don't think too many disagree TBH

I think we need to go with 1 of lambert or osvaldo. To play from the back. We need to have 3 in the middle of the park when our defence has the ball. Be it, Ramirez or Davis. Even think JWP would do a good job. Oh and cork But having 2 up top is making us go long. You can see the players want to pass it through but when we only have 2 in the middle, they are at best. Being matched by their opposite numbers

Of course we have had hard games. This league is very competitive. We're these not easy games last season when our total in these fixtures was less than 5 points?

You accept and and move on

What's the bet we score a good goal next week and lose Yet the wrist slitting will go on

Did Adkins ever win manager of the month in the prem? McDermott won the league title ahead of us and is now above Adkins with a cash strapped Leeds
