Macia... can't remember his record with us, maybe I've repressed it somewhat. Someone refresh it for me, was he any better than Comolli in his scouting record or not

Yeah I agree with that, if you have a blueprint/plan that works at any level then you buy players to fit that bill. We've kinda just bought a bunch of decent players who can't really play together well and be "greater than sum of their parts", so to speak. Downing is a misfit, we've used Henderson on the right which doesn't work, and you can argue Adam is a misfit, too

Your players dictate formation, not the other way around. At the moment we have such a mix of personnels that suit different styles in the squad and we dunno which way to go

Guardiola's done some strange things this season that has cost them points. People can go on about the 3-4-3 but changing to that has cost them points this season, too.

We play in front of defenses most times, but that's just what's gonna happen at Anfield every week. If our players aren't good enough to take half chances then it just means we have to get better quality players. Plus we definitely need more pace particularly out wide so we can get behind teams, same old for two decades

Have we actually created that many 1vs1s with keepers though?

Right leg technically got taken out, so it is But he's not English so it's a clear dive Well once you'd say it's bad fortune, twice you'd say coincidence, 20 odd times in a season you'd say there's something deeply wrong

His contract lasts one more year, right? Then he'll definitely be here next season, the problem is whether you use him ahead of any of Skrtel, Agger or Coates. The answer should be a resounding no The more you look at it, the more you think we really need 4 very very good players to be on CL course next season. It's sickening watching Newcastle do it with the same way the owners probably wanted us to do it, and we financed it for them

If you're him, you'd sit through that 90k per week contract, it's the sensible thing to do

f***ing c***

Of f***ing course Coates is good enough to play week in week out, he is one of the best young centre backs prospects in the world. We just need to stop playing Carra ahead of him If Robinson and Flano aren't good enough to be backup to the full backs then you'd need cover for Enrique and Johnson/Kelly, but other than that our back 4 is the last thing we should be spending money on We need to splash money on the flanks, in midfield and maybe a striker. We still don't have pace, we spend most times playing in front of defenses and can't get behind. Put Bale and Lennon either side of our flanks and we'd be killing it. The chances we miss, not a lot of them a real clear cut as well. Downing just makes me f***ing angry the useless plonker

Huntelaar I presume, he's a good option to have which we should definitely get Almost more inclined to play Suarez off the flanks of a 4-3-3, he does his best work out wide and cutting in

We need to buy a younger quicker Maxi, he is a heck of a good footballer

We need a Vieira or someone, some hardass general in midfield when the chips are down

In a parallel universe it was easily 15-0

What's the shot to goal ratio against us though, it's like every other shot on target's a goal

Scientology, Buddhism, Islam, chinese monks, witchcraft, we should try them all to lift this f***ing voodoo

Let's just give Cavani or whoever 300k per week and get it over and done with Then they'll probably stop scoring, too

He was good today, really good in fact, was unlucky not to score Pencil him in for CM

This result would be hardly anything if it's not against a Roy f***ing Hodgson team, f*** that smug c***'s gonna live off this for a long time

It's beyond bad luck when you're consistently this bad in front of goal

That's why he should f*** himself with his gigantuan c**k

f*** you, f*** you hodgson, f*** you

When it's come to this, what the f*** do you do, really. FSG to sack some more blokes and hire some shrinks

He'll be sold
