miereles--poulsen----lucas------jove
----------kuyt-----torres-----------
which is frankly a dreadful selection
[/quote]No it isnt Neil. Youre laughable insistance that 'just playing more attacking players' will solve everything is just unreal.
Your 'better' team still contains 7 or 8 players that are just not very good. Thats why we are losing games. Its not how far up the pitch we are playing.
Its the simple fact that we had 5 world class players now we have 2 or 3.

so the team I picked is worse then the team that played? a simple yes or no will do.
[/quote]Its just as bad. It would have lost.
Look im not saying Kenny picked the team I, you or anyone else would have picked, it was dire, but i look through the squad and there isnt any talent in it to bring in.
Reina - class
Johnson - poor
Skrtel - Average
Agger - Ok when fit
Aurelio - Average
Konchesky - poor
Lucas - poor/average
Poulsen - poor
Jovanovic - poor
Kuyt - poor at present
Maxi - Average
Torres - Class
Gerrard - Class
Shelvey - average at present
N'gog - poor
etc

We have a largely shite squad.
Formations, manager, personell choices are limited and undermined by the fact we are trying to polish a turd.
Poster John has nailed it. Rafa left a shite squad and Hodgson has largely added shite too it.
