    1 The players were brought together in the collective desire to depose Di Canio, but they remain a collection of individuals rather than a team. They need to gel and quickly.

    2 With only one of the 14 players signed over the summer English, Poyet needs to help the new arrivals settle quickly. Compulsory English lessons and advice on adapting to living in England are vital.

    3 Even if he doesn’t make Lee Cattermole captain again, he needs his support in the dressing room. Di Canio resented Cattermole’s influence so he ignored his qualities as a player. It was one of the Italian’s biggest mistakes as he has been superb since he came back into the team.

    4 Change the way Jozy Altidore is playing. The American has linked play well recently and has pace and power, but he never looks like scoring and the strain is showing.

    5 Inspire Adam Johnson. The former England international has looked a pale shadow of the player he was at Middlesbrough and Manchester City and remains out of form.

    He will drop the introverted wingers system. Brighton used the full width of the park

    Get support in and around altidore

    Get us organised at defending set pieces

    The biggest job they've missed and is the clearly the priority is getting us organised defensively and work on defending set plays.

    You tossers will rue the day you snubbed old JPF... I'd have had you playing the sexiest football this side of the sexy Atlantic, second only to the hip-thrusting Chileans...

    Some of my ideas

    1. The worst player in the first half would be forced to play in a thong for the second half. A feminine one.
    2. Acts of fellatio in celebration at goal-scoring would be mandatory. Football is a cultural and political mecca don't you know, the beacon of morality and societal evolution, and as such we have a responsibility to ensure fellatio is done right.
    3. Free chlamydia tests at half-time.
    4. We play a formation known only as fhhhkkamammjgjgjgttttt... Which means "beautiful death" in the language of the Wompy tribe, the true inventors of the game. The only difference is they play naked, and "tackles" from behind are welcomed.
    5. I'd tie the defence together in bondage for a month in pre-season. They'd never step out of line again. Best offside trap ever.
    6. I'd make them all sign a contract which made them all call me sir, and have to keep a decent grade point average at school, or else I'd lock the stadium.
    7. I'd stop them watching cheesy sports films so they weren't aware of my training methods. Sexy bastards had me at hello.
