Yeah,when Kuyt missed that handy enough header,Carroll had distracted the 2 cbs enough that they let Kuyt go,shame Dirk is really struggling.

believe and keep supporting, and we'll win the league again. Oh. And there was me thinking we needed quality players and management. We'll just keep our fingers crossed instead shall we? no need to cross your fingers, just believe and keep supporting, and we'll win the league again.

I hear a lot of people saying that 'all we need to do is believe and keep supporting, and we'll win the league again'. Sorry, but that ain't enough. No matter how much 'supporting and believing' we do, Henderson, Downing and Carroll will always be poor, spearing and adam will always be the epitome of average, Skrtel will always be erratic and Kenny 's tactics will always reamin in the past.
In this day and age (even with the easily circumvented new fair play rules) it's more and more likely that the team who spends the most will win the most. So far, FSG have given Kenny well over £100m to spend and that was on the back of them saying they'd be careful with their money. To me, that suggests there isn't a lot of money left and that what Kenny spent should have been invested much more wisely as the kitty is now dry. Because that £100m was so badly spent we need to spend that amount again and more, in order to start moving up the table. In fact we need to spend a hell of a lot more than that as our best player is now knocking on a bit, and our best central defender is looking even worse - there isn't anyone in the world at the moment who could fill Gerrards boots so we should be looking at 2 players of the highest quality to replace him.
The other problem is that we used to compete with the big spenders because we had a great youth system that gave us the likes of fowler, gerrard, carragher & owen which saved us an absolute fortune on transfer fees. Nowadays, we have nothing in the youths and/or the stakes are too high for them to be given an opportunity. The safe money is on the fact that our youths are really poor, certainly not as good as some people here think. Put it this way, if shelvey and spearing are the only ones good enough to get in the first team then I dread to think how poor the rest of them are!
To sum it up, our only hope of challenging for the title is to receive massive financial investment and to get a manager who will spend it correctly. The longer we leave it, the less chance there is of us catching up. As fans, we need to accept that our rightful place in the league based on squad quality, money spent, managerial ability etc is probably where we are now - the table doesn't lie. Depressing but realistic.
Excellent post and assesment of the situation. I wholeheartedly agree.

a ton of money that is invested in the right players. i guess that can be said for anyone who wants to win the league but we had the funds to begin this process last summer and wasted it. but, if we buy a good striker, winger, and creative midfielder then we have a shot at making top 4. that should be the first priority. until we are in the Cl i don't think we should even talk about challenging for the league title.

i doubt anyone realy believes a title shot was attainable but certainly top4 with the funds spent. Henry hasnt realy spent his own companies money and he wont either.That was why it was crucial to get good quality with the money spent already.

why does the team need a goal scorer, when the fcuking midfield is un-balanced, lacks any pace, goals, drive etc etc, not including SG in this,
IF by some miracle, KD wakes up, smells the coffee and takes a moment and thinks ie, if i can loan or sign a right winger, centre-mid player and fingers crossed, get a striker in, this month, just maybe, this gives him/team, a real chance of a top4 finish and strikers of the ability of saurez, carroll, bellamy will start scoring regularly.

Basically we need a goal scorer and a fan base that's not so fickle. A draw and king kennys head is on the block? It's just the same usual suspects, deakin. Half of them haven't been seen in here for weeks. They've suddenly woken up again cos they've something to cry and bitch about again. Very ugly trait.

Half of them haven't been seen in here for weeks. They've suddenly woken up again cos they've something to cry and bitch about again. Very ugly trait. Fair enough, I'm new here, but are you honestly satisfied with our position at the moment? I don't know how we can make this any clearer. We have fewer goals this season than Bolton and Blackburn. I'm sorry, but that's not good enough, not by a long shot, and not after we invested £100 million this summer on mediocrity simply because they speak English. Sure, we're still in the midst of a rebuilding process but top 4 was our aim for this year if I'm not mistaken and we're certainly not going to achieve that by grinding out home draws to mid-table teams. The areas of the team that we need to strengthen are seemingly obvious to everyone but Kenny. I'm certainly not saying sack him - not even close. I don't think anyone is really calling for his head, I just think that people are a bit frustrated. But I think he needs to wake up and realize that a new perspective is needed, because it ain't 1986 anymore.
