      Signing only strikers in January isn't going to change anything judging by this performance.
      The midfield and defence have been woeful.
      Not a good display at all.

      Stoke and Liverpool both put in performances that make me wonder why I don't just watch quidditch.

      I think you've hit on another problem that everyone seemed to overlook when they were screaming for strikers...we need some cover on our defense. That's why I personally have thought this was going to take more than one year to turn around. We need some serious rebuilding it appears. We are good enough to win against anyone on any given day but thin enough to lose to anyone as well.
      We need a commanding figure like Sami in the side we havent got that now.

      I thought we had 2 world class (as quoted many times on this board) CB's?  I have not seen much countering to be honest, just a lot of hoof ball and gross errors by the back 4.

      Stoke have countered us loads of times mate, weven left three or four against 2 at least 5 times in this match alone.

      A defense is only as good as the midfield infront of them, If they are being left exposed by the midfield, the opposition is going to expose them.

      Quick question for you mate, this defense has been one of the stingiest in the premier league for years because of the way we were set up with the protection from midfield.

      Do you think its of no coincidence that the defense now ships goals quite regularly since the change of system ?

      unfortunately he has lots of company.

      Agreed, but he's one of the worst.
      I remember people saying he would blossom under the new system but just because he plays it simple it doesn't mean he's technically good enough for this.

      He's more like a headless chicken desperate to get rid of the ball.

      they have had over 30 games together and 6 months of living and breathing this ne wway which incidentally isnt that different than the old way.
      He has to manage the players he has got and make the system suit them not the other way round,

      Like I said Walton he and the owners are playing the long game. Sure he would like to win every match, I am sure he hates to lose, but he is going to do it his way; he is not going to drastically change what he does, players will have to adapt or get shipped out.

      Nobody wants to say it or believe it but BR & FSG are looking at next year and 3 years from now etc.....etc. Brendan's and the owners idea on how they want to do this constitutes a breaking down of the entire squad and rebuilding it, plans like that do not take 30 matches.

      Short term inconsistency for better future results is what I see them doing.

      Not saying I agree with it, but I can see it plain as day.

      I would agree with that but where do we find someone like that when we are trying to spend money on striking options?

      Only the best in England can tame Stoke at the Britannia. We are far from the best team in England. It's no excuse and I honestly would have come out of this match happy with a draw but being beat this comfortably by any team is always horrid. The day we can play Stoke and beat them at the Britannia is the season we can become a comfortably top 4 team in the Premier League again, more so one of the best. But that's no reason to sweep this result under the carpet. It's every reason to step back and see with much clearer vision at what we NEED to do and improve upon with brutal honesty. The most irritating fact about tonight is that we could play this game 10 times over again with the same squad and we'd still lose. Yet again a horrible and unpleasant reminder of how much harder we must work.

      poor defending allround and it could have been worse we have been picked of far too easily.Have Agger and Skrtyl become poor defenders or are the full backs so far up the pitch we get caught out all the time.If we want fullbacks to play high up the pitch why play wide men they get in each others way.
