Froggy & Redstar, nobody said we were poor.
Maxi has been pish all season and didn't warrant a start. Meireless may not be match fit but should have partnered Poulsen in CM. We were devoid of any attacking threat in the first half despite retaining possession.
With Torres struggling, Gerrard is the man to help him out of his slump.
Roy's safety first tactics are plain for all to see. We need more abition.
When last did we go on a long unbeaten streak? Our away record under Rafa last season was poor but Roy's is much worse. I'm quite an optimist but Roy has been uninspiring thus far. That's a realistic view.
A massive improvement is not beyond us but it mus happen soon.

I think i agree with all of that, its tough to take a string of bad results and remain positive, especial as so many people (myself included) didnt want Hodgson in the first place but no team can really be judged in that short a space of time and especially considering the level of opposition for those 5 games was abnormally high, 3 of the top 5 teams in the league and one of the toughest away fixtures available
We didnt cover ourselves in glory in any of those games but now we have a run of winnable matches that will tell us far more about this side then getting narrowly beaten at Old Trafford did
