We are toothless up front. Its going to take alot of hard work to make it through until January and be in good shape for the rest of the season.

But they are contradictory

It was a bit of both.

So we looked gash and good for the first half before the goal. ok.

You obviously have a fairly loose definition of the term 'world class'

I genuinely believe we have no world class players.. World class players are to me capable of exceptional levels of performance, moments of quality but most importantly their base level for lack of a better term is of a good standard also.

Suarez is a player that creates world class moments as well as monumental **** ups, poor decisions and lack of key parts of his game.

Gerrard.. Was

Lucas.. Very good player, love him. But world class? No, sorry he isn't. There are too many players better than him in his position if we class him as a defensive midfielder.

Pains me to say this but downing is doing well, some lovely footwork from Johnson he just needs to stop shooting!

Maybe my disgust of Downing is skewing my judgement when I watch him play but really???! I thought he was absolutely ****e when he came on and he did nothing good as per usual. Has it really got to the point where I dislike Downing so much that even when he does something well my brain automatically says he hasn't?
