If we're going to have 18 shots at goal we need to convert at least 2 of them

We seem to have reverted back to the team of 04/05. We haven't improved on last seasons excellent progress 1 bit.

Yeah, cant help thinking that the lads still look like they are away on international duty.

United also had a lot of players on international duty.

strikers just didnt look hungry today, how many times were they caught on their heels.
some of our recent signings just arent looking up to the standard required im afraid.
with man u away next week were already well behind the leaders

I think we're suffering partly due to the strikers not having an understanding with each other which they won't get unless each pairing gets a run of games.I hope Fowler was injured today.Our most accurate finisher not even on the bench.He's perfect fo coming into these games and appling a finish to one of then many chances we squandered.

And Pennant is not Liverpool quality

If we lose at castle greyskull there its 11 points behind them and all over red rover im afraid.

Very dissapointed with the performance though today. Was fortunate enough to be there but didnt really like what i saw. We were lifeless and stagnant in possession and especially going forward. The goal we conceded was extremely poor, great cross and a straight forward conversion but again the marking and the position of Sami Hyypia was the fault once again.

Alonso man of the match with his passing or Bellamy for his goal but a very very poor display for much of the game. Pennant doesnt deserve to even be on the bench next week. For a winger there was no movement at all and to often was not making space when we had the possession. His heart was no where near to being in it today and he was rightly taken off and replaced by Luis on 50 minutes.

Was incredible how much we missed Kuyt up front though, crouch just really wasnt doing it for us today. A further 2 points dropped especially dissapointing with it being at home.

At least the blue ****e lost though. :P

Cant really dissagree with any of that.
Except maybe I thought nobody deserved a MOTM award. Which i thought nobody deserved.
