Ok, here's a question, if were to finish 5th this season, would Stevie stay ?

wed probably flog him and get a few players

[rodo]

if only one of our players showed the same level of passion that kevin nolan showed today for bolton that would be something

[alunevans]

wed probably flog him and get a few players

but they'd probably be ****

Ridiculous comment

Ridiculous comment

which one

[rushscored4]

I think we should sack Benitez and sell Gerrard, Carragher, Alonso, Garcia, Crouch, Gonzales, Finnan, Riise and Tommy Smith. They were all ****ing useless yesterday...

[Welhung]

The squad needs less bloody rotation. It's like Benitez is playing FM manager at present. He keeps changing the squad till something works.....then he changes it again. We do need a bit of stability as far as the 1st team goes otherwise no one will play well including Gerrard.

I honestly believe that Rafa needs to use a stock standard formation that plays to our guys strengths AND STICK WITH IT! Either a 433 or a 442.

442 on current form:

------------------reina-------------
Finnan-----Agger----Carra------Riise
Garcia---gerrard---alonso---Gonzalez
----------kuyt-------crouch--------

Momo and pennant can be used as subs. Momo is good but is still so young and as good as he can be when he's "on", he gives away alot of possession and doesn't seem to "drive" through the midfield. He should be used to sub either central mid. Alonso and gerrard compliment eachother better.

433:

---------------reina-----------------
Finnan---agger------carra-------riise
------gerrard---alonso--gonzalez----
-----kuyt------crouch-----garcia---


Laugh if you will, but I think this would work. Gonzo and gerrard can float out wide when needed but can also cut in for long range midfield strikes, Kuyt and garcia can support crouch who is capable of goals if well suported.

BTW, gonzalez is better than Aurelio. But as inneffective as either is now one of them needs an extended run. May as well be Gonzo.

Some good points there. But you could have summed it all up by saying we should sack Benitez and sell Gerrard, Carragher, Alonso, Garcia, Crouch, Gonzales, Finnan, Riise and Tommy Smith...

I disagree. We are clearly finished. We should just liquidize the club.

I'll get me Moulinex...

[Joe Le Toff]

KEEPS ON GETTING PLAYED OUT OF POSITION AND THE LADS NOT ****IN HAPPY,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


sorry about the caps

More to it than that mate IMO

[Fan65]

How did Garcia stay on ?

He did nothing , absolutely anonymous

Surely Pennant for Garcia then we'd have had two wingers on the pitch then bring on Crouch.

[Depth_Charge]

who was then?

When the whole team are dire it's hard to pick out who was the least dreadful....

[Los Rojos]

Did you see the bags under Stevie's eyes he's got problems and to be honest i think the whole camp has got problems

Yeah - I spotted the eyes. Maybe he's got personal problems or he's doing his share of night time baby duties - either way he didn't look too good to me and it must be affecting his game.

[Shaggy]

He’s had bags like that under his all season. He’s not looked right at all. Something’s amiss.
