I think a major issue in our recent slump is the loss of sissoko, his presence in the central midfield is immense and even tho hes not the best passer he is the engine room that allows us to be more powerful and solid.
YES!! as i said i think the loss of sissoko made us lose our freedom in the midfield, everytime sissoko plays, Alonso has more freedom to whip in great balls forward
we miss sissoko
not only does he allow our more creative players like the gerrards and alonsos to express themselves but he also gives us a very powerful edge in the midfield aswell as making the team a overall more solid unit.
sissoko has been missed of course but if we want to challenge in the future we need to overcome such set backs. We all know the strikers our about as reliable as a peado in a nursery but there is not much rafa can do until the summer so to all the people saying wake up rafa and all this bullsh.it there is nothing he can do apart from on the training ground and that must be horrendous with the likes of cisse.
people have become overexpectant after the champions league win, thats to be expected because our clubs heritage demands success but for people to start moaning about rafa when things arnt so rosey is well a disgrace, hes still only in his second season and we have come on leaps and bounds and we are by no means the finsihed article yet. We are still in transition and the signs are there that with a few adjustments we will be a great side. Am sure most of us at the beginning of the season would have took 3rd in the prem and we are still on course for that and 2nd is not gone yet. we are still in the fa cup so its not so bad. Look where we were when rafa first took over and were we are now!

not much. probably a recall for morientes.
Arsenal are a weaker side, with younger players, no Viera anymore but they can still pass and move well.
some of our players cant because its all down to quality. and some dont posess any.

As for us its quite amazing how we have played since Christmas its as though the team has been cursed or something...
Its ok everyone slagging the strikers off (me included),but apart from getting Mellor and Pongolle back from loan spells there is feck all we can do until summer.IMO we will finish top 4 but even 4th place is going to be a battle.

It maybe time to stick a couple of kids on the bench (Anderson maybe) and bring 'em on in the last ten minutes. Enthusiasm and nervous energy can be infectious and may provide the spark we so badly need.
