i think kenny got the team wrong today

should have changed half time not after 60 mins

bar dont score goals mate , nice to 20 yards out loads of huff and puff and if carroll is to be the cutting edge than we are in trouble

sometimes i just feel that the club thinks keep doing the same thing and it will bound to click sometime

the problem is its now jan and still quality up front is not good enough

i think adam was rubbish today and has not been good for awhile now

i think he should be dropped for gerrard when he is ready

Plus kuyt has had a awful season and most games i see him in he does nothing

I agree with you there, but had we won tonight we were joint 4th.

We lose and everyone is saying "oh god, we can forget about 4th place now, we're sh*t!"

People were getting carried away with themselves when we beat Newcastle, and I said at the time that I bet if we lose to City the same people will be crying acting like our season is over.

bat mate i say the same think weather we win or lose and that the team needs changes to go the next step

i firmly believe that the current team is 5th at best

the owners need to invest to let us fight for 4th

i do feel sorry for carroll i just don't think kenny knows how to play him

all this joint 4th nonsense thats my point unless things change IE a signing or change in style of play it wont happen , they only played 48 hours ago liverpool friday loads of time to recover and it was sloppy in defence reina another mistake costing points , all neat and tidy up to 20-25 yards out then thats it toothless 13 attempts zero goals just not good enough .

Wow what an awful game city were very average and were there for the taking but we were very poor just no cutting edge at all and never looked like scoring downing was terrible and Adam was horrific and that's being generous Henderson was the best player for us just pips spearing. Carroll did ok but he didn't have a hope in hell with the service he got it was awful and that is why we don't score enough and shows how reliant we are on suarez creating everything on his own we need 2 wide players who can make something happen with pace skill and flair before we even think about wasting money on a striker who will be strangled by our terribly slow and poor creative play. And the reina howler cost us the game we never recovered after that.

Here we go again, some of you really need to look into what we really need. Drafting up your lists of players you bought on FIFA 12.

I think some of you need to stop looking on the face of things, it's very quick to say, "Oh we need a striker" isn't it?

I mean you need to start looking at all the areas, what about the bit in between, you know? The part that leads to that striker getting a decent chance in order to be able to score?

At the moment we don't have anybody who can take the ball, with intent and set out to put the ball in the back of the net. To some extent Suarez does this and offers us effort, but he doesn't put the ball in the back of the net, I also feel Gerrard does this for us, bursting into the box, powerful runs. It's this intensity that we are lacking in, Carroll is not an intense player, he won't take the ball, go on a run, beat a player and whack one in from 25 yards. He relies on service and quality crosses, just like he got at Newcastle. That is HIS game and as much as some of you can make out otherwise, he is a target man.....and in total humbled honesty the only man who we have got that can actually put in a decent ball in the box, is Gerrard.

and that's a real shame, for me.

We can get forward, push on our full backs all we like, it's about making it count.

If anything in this transfer window, we need a pacey forward, like Torres was for us, like Owen was for us. Gerrard plays well and can play the quality passes in behind for them.

We can sit, complain, draft up our top 10 transfers...whatever. Try looking at it from another angle for once, instead of...."*Insert name*, *insert name*, *insert name* were rubbish.....we need that Brazilian with a Mohawk, he's good on FIFA!"

Give me a break.

We played ok against City. As he has been all season Adam was very poor and should be dropped. Reina had a nightmare game to forget and Kuyt was anonymous today. If we can't get the ball to Carroll's head then he's also anonymous. We had more possession and more shots on goal than City today. Downing and Henderson played well which is a positive. Remove the dodgy penalty decision and Reina's f*ck up and you're looking at 1-0 and we had plenty more chances that weren't converted. It's not the end of the world. I still fancy our chances at knocking them out of the Carling Cup. And It's not City and United we need to worry about. We need to keep our eyes on Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea this season. We just need to stay above two of them.
