We're out there playing with third-stringers who look like they were suggested to the management by "their cousin George Weah." And I'm sick and tired of watching games in which our current best player (Suarez) can't play!
Anyone expecting us to win this competition with the likes of Maxi, Cole, Kuyt, Ngog, Spearing, Wilson, et al was kidding themselves. Kenny can only do so much...this isn't a "rag-tag group of losers and rejects learns the spirit of teamwork and makes the championship" movie!
Positives: Carroll keeps looking good. Johnson had a very solid game. Cole, while still fairly awful, looks to be improving.
As many of you said above, I can't wait until the wholesale clear-out comes in the summer. Poulsen, Maxi, Jovanovic, Meireles (his recent goal explosion really masked his general sloppiness), Ngog...all gone, please. Kuyt doesn't exactly light the world on fire, but I think he has a place on the team. To me, the worst injury of all right now is Shelvey - this season was a goner anyway, and it'd have been great if he could have gotten a lot of games in and become a potential 1st-teamer for next season. I'd be over the moon if we could bring in Charlie Adam and Eden Hazard in the summer.
Your post looked good until you said meireles has to go
