:clap: :clap: Agree were much with what you are saying here. Dunno about Keegan, would love for him to do great here again. But isnt he a bit loose on the money? I would actually love Kenny Dalglish back here as a DoF. Think he could do a very good job for us. And is a great person too. Would have suggested the ex argentinian coach as our new manager, only problem might be the language. Dalglishs a good shout. Boring but Level headed. TBH i know people hate him but i'd have Sven here in a flash as either a manager or DOF.

How to turn the club around: 1) Get rid of the chairman. Replaced by either an investor, preferabley young with a vision or one of the boards directors. Even if it is one of Sheppards yes men, at least he/she would give the club renewed optimism and a sense of light at the end of the tunnel. 2) Sack the cronnies. McDerrmot and Clark at this club for sentimental reasons only, they should not be coaching first team affairs. I don't know what Pearson is doing here. 3) Demote Roeder. Put him back in charge of the academy and alow Clark to learn coaching skills under his wing. 4) Hire a director of football. Someone with vast experiance in the game, yet won't attempt to stifle the managers descions, yet will advise on money. Suggestions: Keegan or Robson. 5) Hire and new manager. Vital that whoever it is comes in with his own people and has an emphasis on short term and long term success, as well as squad size, youth and Fooking good defenders. A PROVEN WINNER, SOMEONE THE FANS WANT! Suggestions: Ranieri, Houllier or Hitzfeld *Drool*

Did you cut yourself shaving? bluebiggrin.gif I agree, we should look to bring in more physical players, especially in midfield. Personally, i'd like to see us bring in someone like Kevin Nolan who provides strength from set pieces and goals from midfield.

Krul Taylor Moore Bramble Ramage Parker N'Zogbia Milner Duff Rossi Dyer Subs:Harper, Carr, Nobby, Luque and sibierski

Parker just needs to learn to make off the ball movement, in the attacking sense. When he's on the ball he does enough and when they have the ball he works his socks off but when his team mates have it he seems lost, because of that the team suffers. Still one of our best performers mind. blueyes.gif

Good result. I don't want Roeder to fanny about with the team by bringing injured players back in the starting line up. We start this team on sat and i will be happy: Krul Taylor Moore Bramble Ramage Butt Parker Milner Zoggy Rossi Luque

Better record than Martins and Owen. You could also count his goal in Shearers testimonial. bluewink.gif All i want is Roeder to give him a run in the team. Now is his chance.

Anyone know where i can watch the goal?

Repeat of last year. Man City away...... Souness OUT chants, the next day Souness gone. If we get a beating off Man city then i can see it happening

Proving how little you know really. Brambles stats for European games are good for a CB :- 06/07 6 games 1 goal - Europe 05/06 Not in Europe 04/05 6 games 0 Goals - Europe We crumbled when Bramble and Dyer left the pitch 03/04 11 games 3 goals - Europe Also to actually get the games in Europe the team ( Carr and Bramble) must have defended fairly well to progress. If you look at how many of those games were against decent European opposition, you will realise that your stats prove nothing. Palermo are a good footballing side and i believe they will tear our defence apart if they play like they have been. Rebellious do you believe Bramble to be a good centre back? I certainly don't! Carr is a decent defender but not the best and i'd prefer to play the likes of Ramage or Taylor. Actually what i'd prefer is a whole new back four.

Noticed against Charlton that he is looking a lot slimmer. Good luck Albert, can't help feel it's you last chance. Wouldn't be suprised if Glenn started him up front on his own. bluecry.gif

Of course we will stay up. I expect our usual un-convincing run of points that gets us into a safe yet un-inspiring position. Roeder will eventually get sacked and will be replaced by somone just as mediocre and the proccess happens all over again.

Not at all. If you start trying to get into more expensive parts of the ground you will get collered by the men in the blue jackets. Don't worry mate, despite what people say there isn't a bad seat in the ground. Just some better than others.

Level 7 is right in the gods, you get a decent view but from a distance. Atmos all depends on how many fans turn up TBH. Against teams like Man utd or Sunderland near the away fans is immense but am not so sure about celta. Level 2 would obviously be closer to the pitch but it could have been in the corner anyway.

Harper Taylor Ramage Moore Baba Butt Parker Milner Duff N'Zogbia Luque Is about the best team we can play at the moment. No doubt Roeder will decided Carr and Bramble should start, therefore we will get wooped by a vastly superior footballing side who play the game by defending well and passing the football.

What could he have done? 1. Started Taylor and Ramage instead of Carr and Bramble 2. Subbed Luque and Milner early in an effort to change the game. 3. Told Parker and Butt what positions they were playing. 4. Told Duff that Hollywood is in california. 5. Made sure Nobby stuck to the wing.

Late but here gos. Harper 6- Did his job. Carr 6- Supported well but has no clue on how to cross the ball. Moore 7- Our best centre back by a mile. Bramble 5- OUT! Babayaro 7- Gets let down by Bramble too often, decent job. Nobby 6- Great first half, woeful second. Parker 6- For a captain he lacks communication skills Butt 7- Impressed. Tackled, dribbled earned his place next week. Zoggy 7- Good work in the first half, ran at the opposition. Duff 7- Worked hard in a unfimiilar role. Rossi 7- Going to be a star, should have scored. Bar 1892 atmosphere= Pathetic.

Harper Carr Moore Taylor Baba Parker Zoggy Nobby Duff Martins Rossi 3-0 Zoggy, Nobby and Rossi

I actually believe that Dyer could save Roeders career... for a while. We need someone like Dyer to inject some energy into the team. I'd love to see him and Martins up front together!

Completely forgot to put him in mine. Great shout mate. Not so sure about Carr but then again i was tempted to put in Ramage. bluebiggrin.gif

Don't get me wrong, he isn't and will never be as good as Scholes at his peak. However, his late runs and goals contributions are very similar.

Just to get away from the misery that is our football club. I thought i'd take this opportunity to see who you have been impressed with so far. Your players and reasons are entirely up to you. Here's mine: GK- James. Since moving to Portsmouth he seems to have cut out his errors, might be to do with Pompey's defence though. DF-Campbell. I thought he was past his best but has proven me and quite a few wrong for us failing to sign him. DF-Mellberg. Always a competant defender but has flourished under O'Neill. The rock in a solid back four. DF-Baines. Some good defending and and stunning goals. Left back for the future without a doubt. DF-Evra. I was convinced he would fail after his appaling start at Man U but has come on leaps and bounds. Deserves credit for bouncing back. MF-Giggs. Pains me to say it but age certainly isn't catching up with giggs. May not be at his unbelievable best still performing on the worlds biggest stage. MF-Speed. Similarly to Giggs is still churning out the performances in the premiership. Although, i'm slightly biast. bluewink.gif MF-Essien. Another player coming on leaps and bounds. How long before he's Chelsea's most important player, not long i suspect, if he gets a few more goals. MF-Cahill. God i hate the little Ozzy runt. However, he is one of the main reasons why Everton are picking up so many points. Reminds me of scholes of old..... sadly. FW- Andy Johnson. The other reason why Everton are picking up points..... enough said. FW-Drogba. Just beat Saha because he's cut out his diving. Who would have thought he make Sheva look average. Your comments and your suggestions?

Benitez is a fine manager, when you compare houlliers liverpool to his. Think he's one of the best but in the bracket just below messers fergie, wenger and mourinho.

SJH and Freddie are just two average chairman, both of which have hired one good manager a piece. On the one hand SJH, as Ne5 says, got lucky with a hit or miss keegan appointment. On the other, Freddie hired Robson who was always going to improve our club but was it inspired or just plain obvious? I'd also like to remind a few that Freddie nearly Bolloxed that up by offering him embarrassing wages. We've spent 100's of millions down the years on players, which shows great amition. However, am i the only one that would have preffered us to throw the boat and get in a world class manager, instead of signing numours trophy players to appease the fans. A good manager doesn't need the luxury of multi millions to make a club successfull, look at Wenger. That's how to run a club! When will we learn that managers make clubs a success not players?

That's two flooked goals in two games for Zamora. Technically he has only scored 3 intentional goals this season. bluewink.gif
