Villa v Swansea

Pay no attention to PGF, we are simply having a lovers tiff!.....................

 

You are right in what you say Norway in how the summer singings worked out. But we ain't the first and we won't be the last Club to have a major signing that doesn't work out. Hey, Man U have had a few mega flops in their time

 

Yes but this patch has been going since september hasnt it ?

no back to back wins in over a year is quite a staggering stat if you ask me, i have been extremely supportive and still will be but lets call a shovel a shovel for once !!

There are more people searching for excuses as to why we arnt functioning as opposed to looking at what is staring them in the face, yet nobody really wants to ask why we pay 12m for the golden boot winner in Holland and then train him to play differently !!

Its not working so somewhere along the line that must be accepted and a different way must be found, when Bony plays we play to his strengths when he doesnt play we go back to plan A its not rocket science and we arnt changing the team ethos we are just tweaking small things to get the best out of our star signing

 

But Utd can afford to waste 10-15 million on a player. We can't.

 

No its not... What you don't like is we are pointing out the reality of the situation and you don't want to believe it....Well your only fooling yourselves at the end of the day as proof is there for all to see if you take away those rose tainted glasses that laudrup has issued you with...The football we are playing is so predictable and its going to cost us big time if we dont change the system we play...

 

Well I'm sure you've come to the same conclusion as me, wrong Striker signing!.....................

 

Some would argue since we won the cup in February where we put the performances down to the affects of winning it and amassing enough points not to be relegated.

 

Well I said I would give the issues until half term, and that's just days away, so I will be joining Dai on this front, no longer interested in excuses from Jacks who don't have the slightest idea about the game, or even played it!.....................

 

good post

 

How do you know he wont work out though ?

To assume that we first need to give him a chance, until he is given that correct chance to play the way he plays then we are total mugs for doubting what he can bring.

The evidence is clear for me, when the right passes and crosses are put in he scores them, if we dont play to his strengths he will lose more confidence and be a waste of time, if we are not going to use him in the correct manner then the club should sell him in January for the sake of the player and his career, its like buying a race horse and using him as a pit pony .

The board and Laudrup should be thankful more people arnt asking questions about this, seems both are happy to see Bony take the bulk of flak

 

What system do you suggest Dai? Oops, I forgot - you never answer questions about football tactics.

 

You also have to factor in that last year we were very lucky with injuries (in that we had none). This year however we've been plagued with injuries since day 1.
It's not an excuse I know, but the fact that our best player by far last year has missed nearly as many matches than he's played this year is something that has to be taken into consideration.
How many would we have scored last year without Michu's influence?

 

I hope it does work out for him! But at the moment it's a conundrum.

 

and what about this season....

No back to back wins in over a year is not a big thing for me but it highlights how we are not quite the force some thought we were .


Lets not sidetrack from the main issues though, we are not taking the points when they are begging and that will hurt us later in the season ,we are not taking them because we are not feeding a proven goal scorer with the ball in the right area !!

we are going into January and we still look like we have no idea of how to utilise Bony to the best of his abilities, its nothing to do with a signing not working out, we know exactly how we play and we know exactly how Bony plays ,it aint rocket science .

 

So who paid 12m pounds for a conundrum ??

 

Every team has injuries though dont they, thats a part of things

 

You've just highlighted all that!

 

well we dont have many good crossers of the ball so the only way i see any service to bony is via hoof ball but isnt that against the style we have built on ?

Also there are very good points on here from both sides for and against ML, players, board etc.. so do the management have meetings with the fans to pose questions about our concerns that can be viewed by all anymore ?

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

give Brendan or Martinez a call perhaps they may give you a clue..

 

Without Michu last year we would have been relegated .

Without siggy the year before we would have been relegated.

This year we have signed a top centre forward because we knew michu would never hit the same heights again,laudrup said this so why do we sign a guy to take that job but put him on the bench for most of his time and play Michu as a striker instead knowing that his star is falling and that he doesnt enjoy playing up front .

Its always more questions than answers im afraid to say
