This was on the cards!

We have lost our star striker. We have lost (arguably) our second best striker. We have just lost against Fulham. We play Arsenal next... shall I go on?

What's your outlook now for the rest of the season?

 

Thank god were not stuck with this front line for the rest of the seaso... Oh wait.


I'm trying not be negative lads and I'm sure when we have Ben arfa and tiote back I'll feel a little more upbeat but watching this tonight is soul destroying! We just don't have anything up front, we've not looked dangerous at all.


Lastly, it could only be f'in Damien duff!

 

On this performance I dont see where our next win will come from.

Jose and Collo look ok, Williamson has been very poor.

Midfield look jittery and strikers are very poor.

A lot of work will be needed on the training ground.

Now we have lost lost Shola god only know's how we are going to cope.

Arsenal on Saturday, they are going to rip us apart.

 

Is Tiote back for that match though? He had Fabregas in his pocket last game.

Will feel a lot more confident when he returns. Vital to our team.

 

I think this is the last match of his ban, so he should be back against Arsenal.

Either way, we're funked!

 

our midfield look lost without tiote to get a foot on the ball.

if ben arfa is all hes cracked up to be and we start playing it on the deck then surley we will look more dangerous than this.

10 more points for survival? im sure we can do that!

 

Even with tiote back who we gonna look to to put the ball in the net?

 

Tiote should be back but midfield look's devoid of ideas.

Carroll going has stuffed the players.

Now Shola is injured forward line is thread bare.

When is Ashley going to realise running a football club is different from going to the casino.

You can't rely on luck all the time.

 

Sturridge just scored what looks to be the winner for Bolton...

Why didn't we go for him or Vela or someone? **** sake.

 

Remember when we had an injury crisis and a young local lad who had been scoring well for the reserves stepped in and forced his way to become a regular....?

Phil Airey, step up!

 

Her's hoping he's better than Ranger but saying that midfield were dreadful.

 

stephen ireland to add a bit more creativity to the midfield maybe...?

 

we were totally toothless, no movement from any of the forwards. Even with the best midfield in the world we have no one to stick the ball in the net.

 

I cannot think of a player that actually played well today.

Long ball after long ball and no cutting edge whatsoever Barton could pass to save his life, Enrique again proving why he has to concentrate for 90 mins instead of when ever he feels like it.

Nolan was non-existent along with Guthrie.

And the strikers had no service.

Overall, a pretty poor game with that **** Duff of all people scoring.

 

It ****ing annoys me when the pitches are just ****. I know both teams played on the same pitch but it just means Barton cant pick out his passes.

 

On the plus side with injuries and suspensions ending we'll have options in midfield, it's depressing that we had nothing on the bench that could change the game

 

--------------Best-------------
-------Ireland---HBA---------
Jonas------------------Barton
-------------Tiote-------------
Enrique-Willo-Colo-Simpson
------------Harper-------------



I was trying to show people how we can still score goals but just looking at that formation I made myself feel sad.

 

Id be happy if 'best' referred to our best striker an that striker was better than best

 

I just want the end of the season to come as fast as possible, and for us to stay up so we can sort this shower of **** out in time for next season.

 

Interesting to see that Nolan isn't in there, although it would be hard to get rid of the Enrique-Jonas partnership on the left!
