our attacking game is a joke we roll it sideways, pass it down the flanks where our wide midfielders usually receive it about 40 yards from goal then rolled back into the midfield who pass it sideways until it goes back to our wide midfielders who can't beat a man and have no pace who roll it back to the central midfielders etc etc. these attacks usually end with a hopeful cross into the box where we maybe have one man waiting or a Carra hoof that goes nowhere Suarez and Gerrard show invention at times but it's completely spontaneous and of their own making - how many team goals have we scored? I can't rememeber any oh and then our setpieces, jesus - we win lots of corners and do nothing with them, we never score from free kicks and we miss penalties and with all our so-called dead ball experts in the team but the moneyball afficianados will be happy because if you look at the stats, we have good possession and huge number of corners etc. - what the stats fail to acknowledge is we do nothing with the possession or corner kicks, it's like we are set-up to do well on the stats side of things rather than in the scoreline and let's look at the most damning stat, chance conversion =10%, lowest in the league, it's about the average you expect in the conference or a part-time league, what has been done about it? looks like very little as the theme repeats itself in every game, missed chance after missed chance what the effing hell are our coaching staff doing? we must spend all our time in practise doing drills to hit the woodword or the first man at corners because we are phenomenal at those aspects to the game and reina has been awful this season, is he being coached at all? the guy doesn't command his area anymore, i thought doni was a bit iffy for the goal today but was generally more commanding in his box than reina has been all season can kenny coach the modern game? it seems not....does he just delegate to clarke? clarke has a good reputation and yes he can organise a team and get them defending well and we have achieved that to a degree but jesus even a fraud like hodgson can achieve that.....great coaches can make a team play good attacking football - what the hell do kevin keen and achteberg offer? our attacking and goalkeeping is getting worse! the funny thing is that when kenny first came here he had maxi, meireles, suarez and kuyt all playing a nice fluid short passing game that tore teams to bits, fast intelligent interplay....then he sells meireles, drops maxi and buys a load of average english footballers - why fix something that wasn't broken? he has replaced a smoothly running ferrari with a ford escort at a huge cost our coaching staff are not coaching, they are not making us better, they are making us worse, that on top of the awful signings is a damning inditement on the decision-makers

OK he is training now, so let's have the debate we have had the last 10 years with him - where do we play him? I think with Adam doing so well in centre midfield, we don't need him in that position - as we have a play maker. With the team struggling to finish chances, I'd play him in a supporting striker role behind Suarez. Let him have freedom to roam and win us games. Where would you play him and why?

Talks the talk doesn't he.. Just hope he can keep the squad fit especially Torres. Loves himself tho the bolded bit cracked me up, what dyou reckon have we found ourselves the mourinho of sports science ..
