Whoever could have predicted this. Oh.
Didn't KHL start a thread about how with the mix of midfielders, all of whom are worse than we used to have, we might get some magically better balance? At this point, if we MUST persist, I'd rather play Lucas because he's more dynamic. Yes, there is someone that Lucas is more dynamic than, and we bought him. HAHAAHAHAHAHA.
What we ought to do is a 442, with Gerrard and Meireles, and Magic not defending but on the wing. We'd probably lose more and win more than way, but it'd be more interesting and at least have potential if we clicked a bit.
And again, why on fucking earth did we sell Aquilani. I'm under no illusions about what a fighter he is, but he's got an ounce of... bah, well, we know why we sold Aquilani, it's because we can't afford to pay his wages, and Hodgson bought the one about how we'd get someone in at the end of the transfer market offering fuck all or wierd, unagreeable terms.

What the fuck is wrong with you guys? First Spidey and now you?
You are aware that I'm not 1) in charge of the club nor transfers or 2) influencing team tactics?
Not that it matters really but how many times have we all been teairing our hair out from watching us play dire at home even when the mighty Masher was around? Poulsen was really crap today but seriously that wasn't our main concern that was our overall approach and tactics. We started brightly and then for some odd reason after getting ahead we started to look completely headless and players were constantly out of position without showing any movement nor desire at all.
Oh and PS: It was rather bleeding obvious why we sold Aquilani and it had nothing to with his wages. But yeah you're probably right he would've been the answer to all our prayers.

If my prayer is for a player that can cause threat, then yes, he'd do that in between shitting out of challenges, and that would make me happy. I'll take fucking anything at this point.
You're right KHL, we had significant problems when we played Mascherano as part of a defensive two coupled with a player like Lucas, Spearing etc. So why did we buy someone to fill that same position who is similar but much worse?
