Palmer, Lavia, Delap and Porro were never really given much of a chance.

Wasn't really bothered when Palmer was sold. He looked good in the youth but £42m seemed like a good price. He has developed into an absolute baller. Probably the best number 10 in the league at the moment.

Hang on weren’t we the champions of the WORLD five minutes ago? After all the success over the last decade we have to roll with this, support the team and see it through. Am as pissed off as anyone but we all stick together and support our team. Even if it does feel like the bad old days of the 80s and 90s.

Stick with the club always but it’s hard to watch such spineless performances with nobody on the pitch standing up and taking control. When we were shit we had People who bled blue and would try their hearts out on limited ability. This team looks like it’s run out of legs and silly mistakes are creeping in and costing us dearly

Complete lack of leadership from experienced players last night

Agreed, I could see it from my spot in SS3 and said the same thing to those around me against Spurs.

There's no leader on the pitch. No-one is vocal, trying to calm things down or lift heads when they've gone down. Bernie was captain last night and as much as we all love him, he wasn't talking to anyone, dictating anything or taking control of the game. "Leadership by example" in terms of running about a lot is not what is needed right now.

At one point after Kev came on he was actually pointing to where he wanted other players to be and trying to get them to MOVE.

I don't have the answer or names at hand, but I'd be going to market and making moves to sign a veteran defender or midfielder on a short-term basis (12/18 months) who has been there, done it all, has some swagger about them and isn't afraid to disrupt the dressing room from day one to lift this bunch out of their current funk. I know the age of the squad is an issue but a shot in the arm is needed as this lot are just feeling sorry for themselves at the moment.

I'd also supplement that with an energetic pair of legs in the middle, we've been linked with plenty and I'm hopeful that will happen in January.

Getting to January and picking up our form between now and then is critical. But once we get there, the refresh of this squad needs to start.

It looked like other clubs saw their potential and took a punt. Coupled with them not getting the opportunities, you can see why they moved. Bit of a shame, but we need to reinforce with no compromises on quality.

I admire your faith Eccles and I am not ever giving up on my team.

However the fact is we are utterly crap at this moment in time.

Shhhhh don’t tell everybody. We will return. We will prevail. Shhhhh we don’t want the sneaky visitors from RAWK and whatever comic the team from the wrong end of the East Lancs inhabit thinking we are not playing to our best form. :-) :-)
So we “fake it until we make it”.
Although personally I’m not faking it. I know we will bounce back. :-)
I trust in the backbone of this team. :-)
 
You have to laugh really, this is the City us FOC,s grew up with, difference being we have a glimmer of hope it will be weeks/months before we come good.

As for scousers at weekend it could go either way, get battered or we batter them (i know it seems unlikely) neither would surprise me.
