we're four league games into the new campaign, so any comments about the team you want to get out there.
a thread for general comments and observations.

okay, I'll go first.
I want to say that I was really pleased that kenny kept to his guns at the weekend and we continued to play football when it would have been far easier to go route one.
we have played extremely good football this season. if pass and move isn't entirely back it is certainly on the way back.

on our players;
enrique
it's incredible how well enrique has slotted in, it's like he has been our left back for years, I think the reason there is hardly any discussion about his is because he is so good at his job you hardly notice him.

henderson
brilliant delivery from the right but very quiet during games.
 
Fucking hell, controversial stuff Spidey. Too spicy for me, and for that reason, I'm out.

What a novel idea. Honestly Neil, I despair sometimes.
 
With Fernando Torres in the team instead of Carroll we'd have 12 points right now.
 
I just thought controversy corner was a good thread title :p

I don't think I have any controversial views so early into the season.
is wanting bellamy to start ahead of kuyt controversial?
 
okay, how this for controversial, when gerrard is follow fit, it should be adam that makes way rather than henderson.

The only controversy I see is your inability to capitalise letters!
 
Ironic that Spidey would have started our route 1 striker in the Stoke game (because it was an away game) yet praises the fact we didn't go route 1.

answer me this, why should carroll be seen a 'route 1' striker? barca played with ibrahimovic and still kept there passing identity, why can't we?

I think he would have been if he was in our team. He and Suarez would just work, not even mentioning what Torres would do with the service Downing has been providing.

Because Mata, ramires, lampard, Drogba, malouda, Sturridge, anelka are all proper gash

And he was amazing the year before he fucked off
 
okay 'really' controversial;

suarez, world class talent - but an average finisher...


let the flaming begin :laugh:

Average finishers don't average a goal every other game.

I didn't say that, he would fit in here and did fit in here a lot better here than he is there. And he'd scored nine goals in 23 league games by the time we'd sold him on poor form, what a disgrace right?

that means he's prolific that doesn't have to mean he is clinical, and they are not the same.
 
This thread has become far too controversial for me. I'm tempted to lock it and set fire to it RAWK style

The two aren't related. If a player get 25 chances in a game and scores a goal, would you consider him a good finisher? What if that happened 4 games in a row? Suarez is a fantastic player and he scores goals from his other strengths, tenacity, skill, movement and positioning, however composure certainly isn't a strength of his.

ha ha didn't read it properly :laugh:
 
Adam is nowhere near good enough to be even a shaoow of stevie when he is out

We'll win nothing with him and lucas in the center of the park

We've sold or loaned out our better central midfielders and kept the sally fields style plodders

Suarez will be gone in 18 months...
