Cheer up lads - think positive. When were we last two places above Arsenal in the table?

Hello everyone, you probably haven't seen me before but I have been on here a while and thoroughly enjoy reading your posts. I think it is time for me to have my share on what is going on. First of all, what happened on Saturday, usually I would say to others 'well that didn't surprise me', but after the statements made on Advocaats 2nd arrival, I was surprised, very, surprised. Not even Pantiloom could save us from that! The whole team was abysmal, something has to be changed, perhaps the whole team should be changed for next week (the majority of them), they showed no effort on the pitch and had no hunger to win the game, they showed a little promise in the 2nd half, the key word being promise, not quality, not awesomeness, promise.

Now, Lee Congerton, what is this man doing? Raking his arse and counting sheep? YES! In the past fortnight we have had 1/2 rumours which actually make sense, M'vila, and Januzaj. Yes Januzaj has creativity but it will not solve our apalling defense. We also need another striker to fit the 4-3-3 formation. 4-3-3 doesn't work, we are not versatile. The most suited formation for us is likely a 4-2-3-1, Catts needs someone with him.

I think the team should be offered some hungry players, therefore bring in the youth, they seem to be doing great, and Mandron is on fire. I wouldn't mind the team to look like this :-

Pantillimon
Matthews
Coates
O'Shea (c)
Van Aanholt/Tom Robson
Cattermole
M'vila
Watmore
Giaccerini/Januzaj (If he completes loan deal soon)
Lens
Fletcher/Mandron

Fletcher or Mandron should be used, both are great target men. Anyway, that is my thoughts. Please give me feedback :D

welcome to the world of posting britjackk! agree with you about the performance we were abysmal. a lot of people including myself have been pleading for watmore to be given game time but for some reason dick won't.
fletcher in my opinion should be no where near our first team if we are talking about quality. a new striker should be brought in to partner Defoe up front with mandron as cover. 4-3-3 does not work purely because we are left to bare defensively especially when van annholt and Jones aren't the strongest defensively. we need the two cover midfielders with the squad we have.

thats a good team selection I would like to see I would go with graham as a front man as he holds the ball up well and although not a scorer using graham gives the midfield lads the chance to get forward
