I said that we'd be well and truly fucked without silva and it seems I am right already. Without Silva and Tevez where is the creativity? Is johnson suppose to do it all himself? Its a joke that we fuck bellers off and the only creative player we buy is silva who we need to save.


The defence playing today is a joke by the way.

We had one in Robinho and we also had Bellamy who would inject the pace into the side we clearly lack now. There is absolutely no second gear in our team. It's shocking.

Wouldnt count Robinho though mate, I could imagine us being exactly the same if he was playing, with him replacing either swp or AJ sulking on the wing.

It's the lack of pace that alarms me. We don't have any!

Silva on now though.

Im sure we could just play with 4 defensive midfielders in such a case.

neither of those players could make the team click like Silva can.
He was the centre of everything once he came on
(even got a free kick awarded against him for going head to head against their big No. 5!!)

Proved right again! I said this before Silva even 'gelled'.

Pissed off is an understatement. We might aswel have played the u18s and been hammered cos Silva will be fucked now.

Why try out kompany in midfield ffs.

3 changes i called for were Silva, then Kolorov, then ballo.

That just means that Ballo will start against WBA. Not sure how I feel about that .. .

Because otherwise we would have had to put someone there who's been playing that position recently & that seems to be against the rules. Change is good, as much & as often as possible apparently.

You're right about Silva, him & Tevez are the only two reliable attacking performers seeing as we criminally chucked the 3rd one to Cardiff. We need someone who will step up when he doesn't play.

Backup for a man who sits on the bench!

Does he?

Not in the league he doesnt!

Once we start resting players we have a shower of shite that steps in. We need QUALITY back ups. Bit hard when we only have two attacking threats through the whole squad though. Plus AJ who i suppose is back up seen as Mancio doesnt like his drunkered ways.


Barrys, Toures, Milners seem to waste places at the moment. Add that to de jong (who i love and is actually worth a place) and we have run out of places for people who may change the game.

He's hardly first name on the team sheet. We need to play Silva more and keep him central. Worry about backup for him later.

He's started more than enough games for a player who has hardly had no pre-season and is settling into a new league.
