Suarez is the league's leading goal scorer. If we shift him to the wing to accommodate Sturridge then we're being mental.

Ant clearly doesn't have a f***ing clue.

We can barely put three good attacking players on for the front three. If they go down injured, Suarez especially, we might as well play for 0-0 and hope to score from a set piece.

Our first XI is good enough to be challenging for the top four. The squad isn't and lacks any depth whatsoever. Given the general good fortune with injuries (Lucas aside), we should have had a higher return points wise.

The point being that I think we'd be shifting Suarez away from where he's dangerous to the periphery all to accommodate the perpetually average Daniel Sturridge. If it ultimately worked, no-one would be annoyed. I just don't think it would.

I'd be more than annoyed if we moved Suarez to the wing to accommodate Daniel Sturridge up front.

I'd like to pretend it was something else, but it was your standard turn up and thump a s*** team who appeared to be beaten before they'd went onto the pitch. It's exactly the sort of result we should be getting in that sort of game.

They were f***ing atrocious, devoid of any semblance of caring or even trying hard, bar one or two individuals. We should and did beat them comfortably.

I fear the worst for this.

You look at Di Matteo, whose Chelsea team looked like they were having a panic attack every time the opposition ran at them with the ball. They're rounding clean sheets off now. Without that foundation, you really do have nothing.

We binned off the much vaunted, much publicised structure for the manager of Swansea with a year's worth of experience in the "big league" behind me. Whatever way you look at it, you have to wonder what the f*** they were doing. Being quite blunt, it looks to me as if they're your typical American corporate types who have been taken in by a Word document and accompanying PowerPoint presentation full of diagrams and corporate buzzwords.

Not even speaking to Rafa meant that the appointment had to be seen to work and work quickly. It's alright talking to him and saying "we don't agree with his approach", but to go against what appeared to be widespread majority opinion (rightly or wrongly) and ignore the candidate completely created a sense of "we know best". The fact we're doing s*** leaves them open to mountains of well-deserved abuse.

Rodgers isn't reinventing the wheel with pass and move in a 4-3-3. The way some commentators go on you'd think he'd taken over Bolton after Allardyce left.

Allen looks out of his depth, Borini was being played out of position and had been dropped before injury (I still can't explain this one), Assaidi isn't even making the 18 and he seems to have given up on Sahin already. We've bought s*** players for years, but that's not much of an excuse.

I really don't think we're that far from Hodgson levels this season. I know that's likely to invoke some sort of backlash, but let's look at it. Exactly the same number of points at this stage of the season. Out of the league cup after insipid home display Scraped through UEFA Cup group stages We're basically in the same position, "result wise", as we were then. It was deemed nowhere near good enough for Hodgson, and I can't see why it would be good enough now. To me it's about perception. Hodgson was viewed as being out of his depth, archaic, not up to speed. Rodgers is viewed as young, dynamic, "has ideas". Ultimately the football is just as unproductive and results have been just as bad. He's also spent £30M and none of them have been a success or are even deemed to merit a place in the team. We were pretty dire in the second half of last season league-wise, but I think the focus had shifted towards the cups. This wasn't deemed good enough last year, so using it as any sort of barometer for this year is risky. We should have improved markedly on last year with £30M spent on the team. Results have been dire, we haven't beaten a genuinely good team in the league all season and I see no improvement on the horizon. We've had 31 games. We're half way through the league season. We're in serious bother.

This is bulls***. Not that I want to draw the comparison, but you look at someone like Moyes who has demonstrated an ability to buy Premier League cast-offs and Championship players whilst moulding a team that is defensively solid. We can't even defend properly, and given we're not going to outscore the opposition with the current tactical setup we have to accept that the current formation and approach isn't working and we need to start again. I think he might know this (and if he doesn't we're in serious trouble) but whether he is actually capable of Plan B I don't f***ing know.

I went to check this and found that we had the same number of points at this stage under Hodgson. And we're still to go to Arsenal, City and United this year. It's just grim.

We can't defend and we can't put together a decent attacking move. Putting a few past a woeful team every couple of months isn't masking the overwhelming fact that we're actually worse than last year. There was a moment where Suarez just stood and shook his head, almost as if he looked around and thought "what the f*** am I doing here?". Just how long is he going to wait around for us to make things "work" when we could be going into the new year with only 25 points on the board?

It's hard to believe they won 3-1 at Anfield last week. Disgusting performance this week.

I don't care where they're from, providing they play well.

What night is it on?

Fulham were abysmal, but too many times we've failed to turn up against that sort of inept performance. Played very well and it's essential to keep this going into the next game.

It was in the Guardian that we offered West Ham Lucas and Babel for Carlton Cole. The full horror can be found here

It's permissible to consider the players bought as not being of sufficient quality to progress us.

If we contrive to spend close to £30M on a strike force of Borini, Sturridge and Ince then it's probably time to give up thinking we're going to do anything of consequence this season or next. They're young, and we'll con ourselves into thinking that "they'll get better", but they won't because they're not really all that good. We're such mugs.
