No point dwelling on it, but its been clear all season that Kenny is off the pace tactically. He had better players in the old days, and there wasnt half the analysis that goes on today back then. Other teams are picking us apart because we have no coherent system. I could take losing if we were impossible to break down, but we arent.

We need a manager at the helm who can tactically decode each opponent and outwit them.

We need a manager who can get the best out of what we have, because we are stuck with these players.

Im never one for nostalgia, but i honestly think a manager like Rafa is what we need again, and soon.

The romance of Kenny was nice, but more of a honeymoon and a brief fling

I agree with pissed it away, but we've spent little NET. These owners are not going to spend the money we need them too in order to compete with Citeh.

Didn't we spend over £30m net this summer?

I'd bring Rafa back as he's still looking for a job.

Kenny needs to take as much blame as anyone.. we haven't improved at all since last season, in fact we seem to be playing worse stuff.. what was the point of all the 3rd man running and nice pass and move stuff if this is what he thinks is really the way forward.

Wake up time for us.

And to think Rafa had a NET spend of £10m A SEASON, it defies ****ing belief.

I think a couple out there could well be moved on Carroll, Kuyt, Downing and Adam.

All 4 can leave and I wouldn't mind.

Hard to argue with anything there.

The league is being dominated by a couple of sides with far more money than the rest. There are 2 sides who look like dominating for years. We don't have the finances to compete.

Theres only one man who can possibly take a side like ours and break into the top3 or 4. That man is Rafa.

I disagree.

We spent over 80m in just under a year and only Enrique has been good enough to start and Hendo could become (imo doesn't deserve to start atm) a good one.

Our "big players" buys have been dreadful and I think it tells you all when Bellamy a freebie has been our best player.

Nonsense. We spent plenty of money in the summer and we had could have had a lot from the Torres sale, we have simply pissed it away on **** players for the most part.
