Kenny isn't what we need

[Fredo]

And each time he's crossed it well, we never or rarely score (did we score from a Downing cross? - the only 'cross' which comes to mind is the Henderson ball in the league from which Suarez scored). Carroll's positioning as well leaves a lot to be desired, rejoining to what Dave is saying.

Our tactics seems to be a bit confusing at the moment, we're trying to do a number of things in attack which aren't quite working at the moment. I guess it's a sign of a work in progress but as you say Shaggy, apart from his crossing ability Downing doesn't seem to be offering much, so the point of his signing is a bit baffling.

[Lecter]

Lecter isn't even close to be looking at the whole picture.

Neither are you but why change the habit of a lifetime

Seriously you will blame everyone according to what agenda you want to pedal

So far you've blamed, Kenny, 4-4-2, Carroll, Adam & Downing (who incidentally I've already said NUMEROUS TIMES I dont rate)

The point is Arn I'd blame ALL the forwards including your beloved Suarez who has continued to miss bucketloads of "easy chances" thats born out by those stats that give his conversion rate of chances (which is probably less than 50% if any of the other strikers aspiring to be in the top 4)

Still nevermind, my work is done

You can spout whatever ****ing drivel you want and I'll just add it to the list of ludicrous suggestions from you over the last few years (play Suzo, play Sterling, FSG should spend gazillions, FSG should invest £10 million per annum in the womens team, sign Aguero despite the financial realities blah blah etc..)

Frankly some of your posts make Hodgson's press conferences seem normal thinking

I'm ****ing tired of reading insulting post from you Lec and see insulting pictures posted by you. When I question your opinion then I NEVER insult you.

If you want to continue to behave like a child then it is up to you. The moderators work their socks off to keep posts like yours off the site.

Posts like the one you did above have no place here.

If you want discuss things then do it without posting insults.

[Arn]

Maybe I should remind you Lec that you called Zlatan Ibrahimovic a **** player.

Maybe someone should then tell you that he is regarded as one of the best players that ever played in the Italian league. If you look the players that played in that league then he is up there at the very best.

That is not only my opinion. It is the opinion of the players themselves.

He also scored a lot of goals at Barcelona and made a lot of assists.

Villa must be a **** player, he isn't scoring more goals a game at Barcelona than Ibra did. It is a pity that they must carry such a **** player.

I won't call you an idiot for having your opinion. You are free to have whatever opinion you want. I won't post insulting pictures etc.

If we lose both against City and Chelsea then we could be NINE points off fourth place. Is that on course. If we lose our next two games then almost every game would be a must win game or the season would be over.

Is that on course?

Why so negative though? We won both these games last season, so clearly we are very capable. Why not look at how we're doing if we win both games? Why not?

To turn things around onto you, you want Rafa back - if Rafa comes back and we lose our first 10 games under him then we're in a bad place.

What then?

I dont understand why you have to be so negative. I'm sure you wouldnt under Rafa.

City are much stronger than last season, and unbeaten.

When we won at Chelsea last season it was considered a shock. This season, before the game im sure Kenny would take a point.

[Craig_H]

So are we incapable of beating them both then?

[magicalbarnes]

Obviousley we are not in-capable - we are capable of winning ANY premier league game.

But i certainley wouldn't put any money on us winning them two games.

me too. although what i should probably do is back joe hart and peter cech in my fantasy team. that would do it.

It is really up to Kenny. If he play Lucas and Adam in the middle in a 4-4-2 then we have more or less no chance. Change it to a 4-2-3-1 and we have a chance.

It is ok to play 4-4-2 when you have the players to do it. We don't.

One thing I've been baffled by is when Carroll and Suarez play you often see Suarez playing further up than Carroll. Why not the other way around? To have Suarez attacking players from deep and being a creative menace would maximise his abilities. He could choose to go out wide, thread a ball through to Carroll if he made a good run or take on players himself. Far too often you see him stranded up top and Carroll is not good enough to be the playmaker. I thought the whole point of the partnership originally was Suarez to be playmaker, Carroll to be finisher.

In the national team he play in that position. Carroll should do what Cavani do.

Stay in the middle and create havoc in the box at every opportunity. He should almost never move out wide. Create space for Suarez.

Not putting money on it is fine, but Arn is basically putting down 2 losses now already - and playing devil's advocate, it seems obvious that it's in keeping with his 'get Kenny out & get Rafa back' agenda.

Arn probably wants us to lose those 2 games - i can see no other reason why anyone would totally write off both games like this.

[Baracus]

To be Fair.

I think Arn is already further down the ' We have spent so much money and have not seen a positive return on it so far' road then most.

I never want us to lose a game. I even wanted us to beat Chelsea when it would have given Man U the title.

No one is bigger than my love for the club. No one. Except of my family of course.
