hi there, kenny.

shouldn't you be down trying to motivate this shower?

[McDermotX]

No changes for 2nd half


Everything must be going super.

After spending a full season trying to get a team to play pass and move football you don't all of a sudden go big Sam and decide to play hoof ball.

If I'm manager I bring on Maxi and Bellamy, two players that suit the way Luis plays with pace and flair, and encourage them to play with each other. Move Gerrard back and take Henderson off.

Also bring Agger on for Carra.

you do when you're playing like a relegation team. our form is that of a team at the bottom of the league. history says in situations like this, its the flair players that are sacrificed. a result or two later and you bring them back in.

Smiling in training aren't we = Definite win.

We aren't a relegation side though. We have enough trouble as it is sticking with a system. Didn't see Arsenal swapping to long ball football with Chamkah instead of Van Persie when they went through their bad patch.

We need a head in our hands smiley.

I'd be smiling too mate if i was earning pure £ for being very average.

We don't need to play long ball with Carroll on the pitch. We need to do quite the oppositie, and only cross the ball into the box after flooding it with players.

no we're not. but I can't remember a team in the top half ever having a run like this. confidence is zero. you have to fight your way out.

Yes Carroll far less fight and determination than Suarez.

And our midfield is what is lacking in fight.

[baitman]

Piss off Henderson.

sooner the better. will look forward to him getting a proper dry bumming in the henderson thread later. what a ****ing lightweight

Mate I'm not been funny but I like Carroll and I want him to do well, but I don't get where a lot of peoples faith in him comes from.

Say Henderson played a full 90 minutes, won two headers through onto Suarez, maybe at the most hit the post, but had constantly bad first touches, complained at everyone else, took his shirt off and walked straight down the tunnel if subbed he would get absolutely crucified.

Carroll wins a couple of headers and plays a cross field ball and all of a sudden he's magic.
