I have a feeling Suarez is going to go on a scoring burst now. He's did everything but score on Saturday, and once he gets one, they'll flow for a few weeks. Time to put him in your fantasy football teams...
 
In fact , if we sort our shit out we could truffle shuffle right into the top 4

Suarez
Carroll
Adam
Gerrard
Kuyt
Downing
Hendo
Bellers

There's more than enough ability right there ; get some crossbar challenge fun time in training , get every one pumped and we can start battering these teams .

Forget about 4th! Arsenal & Spurs are winning every week now!
[/quote]The season is 9 games old. Theres a difference between being gutted about our dropped points and writing the season off.
 
Yeah but we are still reasonably placed in the League at 6th. If Kenny works out what his best team is, and starts getting full value out of Carroll, there is still a good chance we will achieve at least a top 4 place this season.
 
Yeah its not ALL doom and gloom. We have played a few of the toughest games of the season and still got a points total that is decent. We are there or there abouts
Everton A
Man United H
Spurs A
Arsenal A
Stoke A
They are shit games and any of them you would be happy with a point from, so we have taken 7 from them.
The other games
Bolton H
Wolves H
Norwich H
Sunderland H
I would genuinely expect 12 points from and we only have 8 so we are 2 points up in the tough games but 4 points down vs the dross.
We need to sort our home form out and I dont think we will take that long to so so.
I was so frustrated after the Norwich game because its missed opportunity.

As a tiny bit of perspective (and yes they have had some amazing results) we have only played one of the bottom 4 currently and City have played them all.
Spurs have played Blackburn, Wigan and Wolves.
Newcastle have played played the bottom 5 in their 9 games and the other 4 are Spurs, Villa, Qpr and Sunderland and they only won ONE of those games.

Our start has been tough without doubt.
Between now and Christmas day we have
West Brom
Swansea
Fulham
QPR
Wigan
Blackburn
and a tough couple of games against City and Chelsea.
Things COULD look different in a few weeks.
 
Our predicament is not as bad as some as making out. It's hugely frustrating I know but with an element of luck we could be in a far better position. We need to work on our finishing most definitely and, you know, start playing that striker we paid a massive £35m for. We've done enough within most games to be winning most games apart from put it in the onion bag which is of course the key thing. We're far from perfect and there's plenty of things to be working on - finishing and fitness being the two main areas as we seem short of both but overall we're in a far better position than we were 12 months ago. Top 4 is quite achievable. If we hit a bit of form who knows.

Sunderland we were poor second half and didnt deserve to winshould have been out of sight at the end of the first half -2pts
Stoke we should have won -3pts
United we should have won -2pts
Norwich we should have won -2pts
Thats 7 points thrown away through poor finishing and bad management choices.
Not good enough.
Maybe its Gerrard. We were winning till he came back 😉

We should be right in the mix at the top right now.
Not despairing that Newcastle are four points clear of us in forth place already.

I hope that Suarez finds a clinical finish soon because I don't see where else the goals are going to come from right now.

Andy Carroll. Call me an idiot but he will score goals, he would have scored against Norwich if he was on from the beginning. Stick him on the pitch and tell him to just stay in the box and try to score. Let Suarez, Bellamy or Downing buzz around him and stick Hendo, Gerrard and Adam/Lucas in the middle. Just fucking do it Kenny. We'll score goals, for all Andy's flaws, he do believe he knows how to score goals.

Apparently that's a pointless observation cos you know the club was in turmoil yada yada yada.

Yes, big man, you are dead right, we did quite a bit on the subs, it was bizarre. All he had to do was hook Dirk off , put Carroll on and leave everything else as it was, downing was not great but I would have persisted with him in that set up. I am convinced if he had done that when they equalised we would have gone on to win.
You are also right about us not being too far off. Kenny is falling into the trap of the last two managers and does not know his best team.

regards
