TF's right. We just need to shut up for a bit and see what happens.

Bellamy was a different prospect to Michael Owen. Totally different players, really.

Basically, it sounds like we've never replaced quality players with players of the same ability. Which I think is true for the most part.

Dunno, Smith seems to be doing his best...

OK, a few would get in the squad, but it's not like they've got a lot of players head and sholders above the England players. Because they don't.

We never replaced Rob Lee. Or Gazza.

No one cares.

I think the 'olés' actually helped. That was the only time we looked like scoring.

Good post, pretty much how I feel. shame you disagreed with me and kicked up such a fuss when I said exactly the same thing. My reply was in agreement with his opinion on Allardyce at this point in time, clearly. Clearly not, I quoted the post perfectly correctly. I'll try to break down my post to stop people getting confused in future, thanks for pointing it out and I hope it hasn't caused any confusion on your part. No confusion at all. Clearly there was as you thought I had meant something that I didn't, mainly because I didn't break down the post properly. Anything else you notice that doesn't seem right feel free to point out and I'll go about putting it right. What a pair of idiots you two are. Who the fuck are you, like? Calm down, fella. Christ.

"We would like to do [stand by him]"? What?

Rather have Diouf tbh. Why?

I dunno, my Man Utd-supporting mate thinks he's quality...

And who to cure our lack-of-creativity blues, Parky?

I'd be fucking livid too. Cheeky twats. (If true)

Oh, aye. Getting rid of both Martins and Ameobi's a masterstroke.

But that wasn't the point was it? Our problem was we had nothing coming down the right, no width, fuck all. If we were ever going to get through a tight Liverpool defence then our best hope would have been to stretch them out using width, that way we can create gaps in between their defenders to play through balls into, by replacing N'Zogbia with Milner he wasn't doing anything to rectify the problem about our formation. N'Zogbia was awful though, he seems to have escaped criticism on here for some reason. Wor Charlie is the golden boy, can't do wrong in some peoples eyes. Fact. He's not as good as he thinks he is, and he's certainly not as good as some of our fans think he is.

Baba. That's about it.

That ain't how this thread works! You can't denail your colours from the mast!

He's contender for fucking leprechaun of the season. Nice Have you seen the clip of him? I don't think I've ever seem him close-up. He's looks fucking ridiculous!

Torres turned him inside out on several occasions, he turns like the titanic. He'd get run ragged left in one-on-ones against a tricky winger. He's wrong-footed so easily, he ball-watches, he fails to track players and he's bad in the air. He needs a lot of work. He's alright on the ball, but off it he's nowhere close to PL standard at the minute.

He started well but today he was outshone by an out of position Beye. Poor on the 2nd goal but made some class tackles and blocks. He was pap more like it.

Seemed to lose his way a bit but has managed to kick on. Will be interesting to see where he goes from here.
