I can't believe I am so down hearted at being 5th in the league with a chance of 4th place but the last few months has drained me of all postive expactations. Yesterday was better as some people heve mentioned but only marginally, we should have ripped a poor Liverpool side apart and done what we did to Chelsea but those days of high tempo attacking footy are gone....we do boring shit football now and I'm SICK of it already!!

The latest Doug training reports seem to contradict you on this, there has been more focus on the attacking play since the Stoke game, but maybe it will take a bit before this more attacking training produces something during games...

But mate we were awesome as an attacking force earlier on but now the same players that had such a fluidity going forward seem to be running in treacle.I just dont get why they have become this way.

Reading Doug's reports, they don't get near 3 hours training a week some weeks, let alone per day!

Because for the umpteeth time when we are going forward with such fluidity the other team was smacking them into the back of our net for fun or did you think they sacked Hughes just for a f**king laugh?

Those who havent have plenty of influence around them to guide them through the next few months. The manger too, won plently of things as a player and a manager.
One game at a time, one pass at a time, no point thinking "oooh what if i fuck this pass up" because you will, just fucking pass it easy.
