Three draws, all against teams in the bottom half of the table. How do we get back to winning?

    Is it the defence or the strikers that are most at fault?

    I don't think there is too much wrong really, we are playing well and are capable of scoring against anyone, but if i had to point the finger it would be at the defence and centre mid-fielders as there always seems to be a gap for other teams to play in, all too often suarez was able to take the ball in to feet and turn

    Back to winning ways at Fulham and i won't be worried at all

    why ? why should we be beating them....?

    you also forgot to mention..the offside goal for wigan and the 2 cast on penalties we didn't get...

    qpr...we were poor...but a deflected goal gave them theirs....after that nothing...down to 10 men...

    "the defence and centre mid-fielders"

    agree the defence has gone awol too often. the two goals lfc got were soft. distin is not the player he was. we need a younger version of him in defence.

    nev has been great for us but he isnt up to par now. we need an enforcer in midfield, maybe johnny H would do until we get someone better?

    null

    -----------------



    I disagree about Distin, i think he has been our most consistent defender, he is big and quick and compliments Jags dogged determination by covering the ariel threats he can't quite live with

    Neville has had his day, he knows football inside out and reads the game very well but it's about mobility in that position and Gibson gives us that, he unlike Neville is able to cover in the full back position when Baines/Coleman go forward i think that lack of cover has effected Baines as an attacking threat. Get Gibson back in and fit and i think we are ok, we do need cover in that position though and hopefully that will come in January

    Play a team in the top half.....in answer to your question.

    We are in desperate need of : 1) just a fair ref - for once this season- we have forgotten what that is
    2)strikers hitting the net and not the post - we are the best post-hitters in the leauge this season
    3)defenders keeping a clean sheet - have not seen many of those
    4)a little luck coming our way - 2 own goals in the last 2 games - eishhhh
    5)the opposition instead of us getting most cards
    6)more goals from open play off the boot - 40% of our goals come off the head
    7)and lastly - just a full-strength side for once with nobody playing out of position
    8)forgot - score the opening goal for a change instead of playing catcup all the time
    hope that helps ........

    he's on his last contract. we need to replace him with a younger version of himself.

    We are not playing well because Moyes has gone back to his defensive way of playing...let's go out and attack..the way we did at the start of the season
