Henderson´s been poor today. A swap for Jonjo. We need midfielders following up any knock downs by AC. He´s had a couple and no red shirt in sight! Kuyt´s been playing well. All over the pitch.

I don´t know. They´ve had us quite a few times and wouldn´t classify us as easy.

Henderson Skrtel Kuyt

Bellamy Kuyt Gerrard

What´s wrong with Dirk? Would defo have him start after todays performance.

Class!

Here´s hoping tho I reckon Shelvey for Hendo could be the first sub.

Hart is class. Nothng wrong with our finishing tonight just pure top keeping.

Which´ll mean he´ll miss Saturdays game. Perfect!

These are pathetic arguments! Each one of those players has a reason why he hasn´t been a regular starter with the exception of Maxi, who unlike AC has in the last 12 months been hitting the back of the net. Again, like I said, Bellamy with his knees, and I believe everyone agrees he should be in the first 11 whenever he can, and carra because he can´t currently dislodge Agger or Skrtel, Why have you tried to put these players in the same category as AC? AC should be our no 1 striker. He wears the the no.9 he came with a good reputation so why does he sit on the bench more often than not and has only started to start more often since Suarez is banned? These 2 by all accounts were meant to be our front 2 for the season! Why hasn´t Kenny started him more often? Does he not like something he sees in training?

Kelly and Spearing are normally squad players when we have a fully fit squad. Bellamy due to his knee injuries can´t play every game and Maxi I would have start more games so not sure on that one. AC is our number 9 and money was not spent on him to be warming our bench he should be terrorsing opposition defences. Unfortunately he´s not doing the latter and has spent most of the season doing the former.

I prefer to base my evidence from his performances on the pitch and they speak for themselves hence the reason why he´s getting criticised from so many people me included.

Didn´t Reina say he was the worst trainer? First off the pitch? Tongue in cheek or not from Reina with his performances he needs to getting the reputation of asking for extra training sessions and working harder than others recently still doesn´t make it good enough! Defending starts from the front and he needs to working his a*** off and start scaring defenders into making mistakes. In any case, he´s been crap all season whereas we haven´t as a team. I also believe as soon as steps on the pitch he DOES get the support as does every player.

I see a striker who has an awful touch, a shocking work rate, an even worse strike rate and a striker who supposedly could bully defenders get bullied himself. Perhaps this is down to him lacking confidence but if your number 9 is not scoring he needs to be working his a*** off for the team for him to be getting sympathy from me. He should take a leaf out of Lucas book and start working and training hard as then he may get some respite from the critiscm and maybe his performances may start to improve but until then he deserves the flak he´s getting. For the record I was one of the posters who continually defended Lucas when he was getting abuse.

Shelvey must be looking at Adams and Downings performances and wondering why he´s still sitting on the bench.

Kennys got to take his share of the blame today with the set up and tactics. Adam and Gerrard never worked as a partnership earlier in the season and they still can´t play together. You either play Hendo in the middle with Adam and Gerrard right or in front of those 2 or you don´t play Adam. I´d also prefer to try and play Kuyt into some form rather than persist with AC. He´s lack of control, his lack of holding the ball up and his all round intelligence is shockingly bad. Ngog is better at those things than him! If he harrassed more and chased and worked his balls off then I´d be more compensating but he isn´t! Wheres the fear he put into defenders? Looks to me like everytime he plays they´ve got him in their back pocket with no effort. Johnson and Enrique were also awful and for me Kelly needs to be given more of a chance and i´d also like to see Shelvey start a few more. 3 leagues games without Suarez and 1 point.

Anyone got a link to the Stevie interview?

Bring on Flanners with 10 to go after we´re 3 up to earn himself a pay rise and red card.

The only negative no Suarez. Would´ve loved em with him playing. Good draw we now only need a good ref.

Nah I´d prefer the round after when Suarez is back.

Not anymore

Scholes error and goal! Haha!

As expected SIlvia off at HT to rest him for our game.

I can´t beleive how no Utd player had a yellow yet!

Jeez... makes you wonder who´s playing with the 10 men the way City are camped in Utd´s half.
