Good result. F****** great performance! Feel proud of every one of our players. Now we have to build on this.

If Sir Bobby had been given what Souness spent then I think we would have had a good chance, I'd put my life on it that we wouldn't be in the state that we are now. Or even worse, the state we were in 6 months ago. I have no doubt about that. Gavilan £2m Bassedas £4m Cort £7m O'Brien £2m Viana £8.5m Bramble £4.5m Ambrose £2.5m Are you sure?

Why not?

The key to a solid defence is consistency but our defence has been chopped and changed so much by Sam that the players haven’t had a chance to develop any kind of understanding, and if it continues they never will. We have played with 10 different defensive line-ups this season. On the whole, the changes haven’t been forced upon Sam by injury or suspension. They have often been made to accommodate midfielders in the side; which sort of rubbishes the idea that his priority is stability at the back. I agree that a solid defence should be the first priority. Sam may say it is his but he is making absolutely no progress towards it and seems to have no clue of how to achieve it. We will continue to leak goals as he continues to swap the defence around and that doesn’t show any signs of stopping. it's not the defence,it's the defending throughout the team. i am absolutly f****** sick of having to point that out. Divin't be patronising. Of course I'm aware that defending is not just about the defence! However, it is vitally important to have a settled defence because they, more than any other part of the team, have to work together as a unit. The same point also goes for the rest of the team. Sam needs to stop f****** about with the line-up, pick and eleven and play them week in. week out making only minor changes. That is the only way we are going to start playing with some cohesion, which is totally lacking at the moment from front to back in defence, midfield and attack.
