Afternoon lads. I'm coming up to the SoL for the West Brom game with an old Baggie mate of mine and I have to say that I'm beginning to cack it a bit now, which isn't something I'd have thought at the end of January. We have the players, but they can't seem to function as a team, despite Bruce's best efforts. I still can't see us as relegation candidates, but why the f*** are we playing like it? OK, a loss at City, even a thumping, can happen to anybody with the players that they have, but there's no denying we're on the slide. Some questions, therefore: a) is John Mensah still up to scratch? Seems to me he makes a tad too many mistakes in what are generally solid performances. b) is Jordan Henderson THAT good? I've seen nowt much from the lad since the goal against the Hamsters. c) where has our passing game gone? Is it just a confidence thing or has Bruce's coaching gone all to pot? d) is Darren Bent a c***? OK, that last one was for a bit of light relief in an otherwise gloomy post....
a. no, time to freshen that position up, maybe with ned. b. can be and should be, but at the moments he's pants and should be dropped (even ive seen the errors in my ways of defending him all the time) c. individual players, no teamwork we need a leader and with catts back hopefullywe will have it, d. yes, but boy do we miss his goals, then again with no supply he probably wouldn't score at the moment
a) is John Mensah still up to scratch? Seems to me he makes a tad too many mistakes in what are generally solid performances. No, was a rock last season but not this, I would play either Anton or Ned with Turner on Saturday. b) is Jordan Henderson THAT good? I've seen nowt much from the lad since the goal against the Hamsters. He was and could be again but needs dropping and maybe a fresh start away. c) where has our passing game gone? Is it just a confidence thing or has Bruce's coaching gone all to pot? I think we need to look at, Henderson and Catts, one wont and one cant. Sess and Muntari, struggling. Steed back for me with either Zenden, Richardson or Elmo. d) is Darren Bent a c***? No just a greedy boy
a, No never has been plays now and again at the start of the season but needs to play so many games so we buy him now so he is fit week in week out drop him like a stone. ps would say yes to Ned in the middle. b, Defended Jordan like many on here but, that's another crap gutless display from him so if the rumours are true take what we can for him and buy someone who wants it more. c, Think about what you said there mate Sunderland and passing game do not go together. d, Without a doubt but, we'll all be hoping he knocks a hat trick in on Saturday.
