That doesn't say we're a one man team at all. In fact all it says is that we've been pretty poor at finishing which is so well known now.


BTW where's Carroll, Bellamy and the others.


Also, why not list all the players in the other teams that hasn't scored? Bit of biased posting to make a poor point.

Well both Carroll and Bellamy are strikers. I think you missed the point.

Really so what's Kuyt?


Ignoring the other strikers so that you can call us a one man team? Pitiful.

Ignoring? No, I assure you I'm not ignoring anyone especially Kuyt and yes we're a one man team.
Tell me which of the other players he listed is striker? I'd even go so far as to call Kuyt a midfielder, rather than a striker.

You know let him add the strikers in our team as well and we're still a one man team.
Time to face reality.

[/quote]I didnt suggest we are a one man team. I havnt once said that.
And Kuyt is there because he has played in our midfield this season.
Carroll and Bellamy are not there because they have only played games at forward.
My point is that our midfield and defenders are not doing enough to take the load off Suarez and Carroll.
I dont know why you are getting your knickers in a twist? It seems to be that you are frustrated about a point that someone somewhere else was making.
Regardless of your little hissy fit, I think our 'team' in particular our midfield needs to step up...and quickly.
Last season Meireles, Kuyt, Gerrard and Maxi all got plenty of goals.
 
And of course the same old chestnut that keeps raising its head
18 shots
10 on target
10 corners
0 goals

Groanhog day.

Modo suggested we're a one man team and I said that's pitiful to use your stats to suggest that.

It been plain to see that we've been missing our chances, so yes our midfield has to step. In fact so does our strikers except for Luis.

No hissy fit from me.

[/quote]No, YOU suggested I had left Bellamy and Carroll out to be 'biased' and then went on to claim im making a point i am not.
It may well be an obvious point but the fact is our entire squad (excluding the strikers) has scored one more goal than Gareth Bale, and one goal less than Frank Lampard.
I didnt list them all, Walcott, Van der vaart etc have also scored more goals than our misfiring lot.
 
Now who's having a hissy fit.

Your point was that how come these players from other teams are scoring and ours aren't?

[/quote]Err how am I having a hissy fit?
Actually nevermind. Youre a bit dull.
 
We have one world class player / matchwinner.

I'm going to have that as my fucking signature I've said it so bastarding often.
 
Actually, that will soon change because our only worldclass player will leave us out of sheer fucking frustration at having to play with some of the shite around him.
 
Yup. Im with you.
Not enough quality.

I remember about 8 years ago a pundit asking Carragher how we rise up the table and he said 'Better players'
If im right we had Alonso, Hamman, Gerrard, Finnan, Riise, Kewell, Garcia etc in that side
'Better players'
How do we start competing?
'Better football players'

Downing doesn't even have an assist this season, nevermind a goal.
[/quote]

I thought of you and your 'we need to put 3 bins behind the goal for Downing' comment last night during the game Gene. Made me lol.

If it wasn't for our misfiring strikers he'd have a few though ! All the winger can do is put them on a plate ... and he's done that at least once in almost every game he's played.
 
We really cant finish fo shit. Lucas free header yesterday summed if for me tbh.
The team looked very anxious as times, and when we find ourselves in good positions we freeze.

Enriques cross/shot at the end is from a position most top teams would have gotten the winner. But we sadly dont have enough matchwinners in the squad at the moment.

Extremely frustrating, and the keepers out there dont play their best game ever against us either, we make them look good with poor finishing. A couple of saves yesterday were good, but Suarez hits them in a perfect height for a GK, and Johnson smashes it right in the middle.

Its probably only me who thinks like this, but Im a bit against getting in coaches like Kevin Keen. If you want succcess bring in people who have it in blood, not relegation battlers.
 
Maybe Kenny can get some advice from Rafa.

Remember the season before he joined us, there was a stat which mentioned every single Valencia outfield player, except Carboni and Aurelio, got on the scoresheet. :-X
