We will not finish top 6...

[BlueinCumbria]

liverpool did well last year with a dodgy back 4....

totally agree - a lad at work he is a scouse bin dipping get and he took great pleasure e-mailing me a picture of terry's all gold and said that's the nearest we would get to terry!

Anyway - i reckon we are in a far better position than them, long term i mean and forgetting history and once the summer is over i reckon man for man we will better (on paper) than them.

He thought i was having a spliff in the office!

I stand by it though!

You must have the 4th best squad in the Prem. Even last season you had a top 6 squad, but as you all know, that means nothing.

Consistency was a massive problem for you, and you seemed to have a few problems in the dressing room....In my opinion, the way to get round this problem is to NOT go and sign 2 more players well known for their bad attitude.

You need to have more than just a good squad on paper, you need to have a great team spirit and work ethic, even in your top players.

This is Hughes job, he has the hardest job in the prem, he needs to keep everyone happy, I just don't see that happening, you wont have that many big games to utilize ALL these top players.

You may get top 6, but that wont be easy.

A very fair and well thought out point. I think personally that so long as Tevez stays fit and puts in good performances he will be our first choice on the right and Ade will be first choice up front in the same circumstance. This will keep them happy. RSC (if fit) will come on as a possible sub for Ade in the last 2o mins+ as will either Bellers or SWP for Tevez/Robbie. Bellamy has already stated he is prepared to fight for his place (without golf clubs I hope) and Robbie won't be GUARANTEED a start if he's off form anymore (Still will come on for impact in the second half).

I think it will be a difficult juggling act but it can be done particularly if we have long cup runs. If we get put out early doors Hughes' job will become increasingly difficult.

I think if that the way you play, You may well have 4 unhappy players. RSC, Robby, Bellemy and SWP, remember its world Cup year, and SWP will want to play quite alot, but he obviously loves City, so he may not be a big problem.

Bellemy is a cúnt, he will be a problem, but he has been at you too long now, he is due his move soon!!!

Robby may be a problem, he was your star last year, he may not be this year and that may push his nose out!!

BUT.....if it works, an Hughes gets it right.....then your in for one hell of a season....!

*You may start selling out away from home again now!!




*Come on, couldn't resist that!!!!
