i think a run for kolarov, fernandino and milner may create the desire needed to pull us out of this rather 'flat' period while at the same time putting Silva back to no. 10 position to provide inspirational performances. I seriously think some self belief would turn things back on course. The fans need to calm down a bit as well.

'It' wasn't missing after West Ham scored their second goal. Why were the last 15 minutes so different from the first 75? It's more than just formation and tactics. I still think most players just expect to knock the ball around and beat teams without matching their work-rate. We need to improve our shooting as well. Always having between 15 and 25 shots to score one or two goals isn't going to win us the league.

Too much tinkering about with the defence certainly does not help, IMO thats the 1 area that should be as stable as you can have possible.
We also desperately need a midfielder that will drive into the box, Yaya done it last year and made such a difference, think thats why Lampard started well.

i would have negredo or even carlos tevez back tomorrow , we need a forward who will consistently put the effort in alongside kun , but as we dont have this option we must play 4-5-1 . The defence should not be rotated , hart , zabs , komps , mangala , kolarov , let them play a dozen games together , and it will be sorted. Yaya is a liability when it comes to defensive duties , so fernando and either milner or dinho in the middle to increase the workrate , my team would be HART - ZABS , KOMPS , MANGALA , KOLAROV - MILNER , FERNANDO , TOURE , JOVETIC , SILVA - KUN , play this team until xmas in the premiership , no rotation , and play fringe players in the cups ,
Does anyone else think that maybe we are just slow getting out of the blocks? Certainly in the league, it appears so and we get stronger as the season rolls on.
As for the CL - that just beggars belief. We should be showing signs of improvement with the additional experience but don't seem to be learning.

Q: What is it that's missing?
A: A manager who can see that this season's YaYa cannot play in a midfield two without us messing up and conceding STUPID goals.

Yes. It is sloppiness caused by complacency and a misguided belief that skill is enough to win games.
I want to see some fight, consistency and team spirit.
Tweets from Vinnie telling us they mean business are not enough.

I may risk being crucified here, but a certain Mr Nasri has been missing for a while , hasn't he? maybe he gives more to the team that people give him credit for!
