At times we have been far better then the team of last year but for me this year our poor performances have been even worse and were starting to show more inconsistency then i thought possible. Obviously we have improved but in entire honesty i am not sure how much we have improved, the buys of Downing and Henderson were supposed to help give us width, but it seems even with width it makes no difference to the amount of chances we convert. We loose a lethal finisher in Torres and replace him with Carroll who i feel has bags of potential but not is as clinical obviously. Yes we have Suarez but he is not a clinical finisher either, he is more of a trickery attacking play maker, he needs a partner of the same style to be scoring goals i feel. I think this season has been so far a mixture of Kenny not knowing how he wants us to play and off the players not really gelling well enough together, Carroll & Henderson need more time to develop, Downing needs more confidence and Adam needs to leave.
