Have we become a cup team? We are difficult to get beaten. We can beat any team. Luck plays a key part in our games. We’ve hit the woodwork more than the back of the net. We have missed sitters, penalties and had corners more than any other teams in the PL. Others get one chance and score. But, in cup competition, lady luck plays in our side, we don’t miss as many penalties and score last minutes winners.
It tells us one thing. Our tactic is not working. We can’t be blaming luck in every game. Kenny doesn’t know his best team yet. He can’t change games apart from one league game and two cup games that we have come back from a goal down. We depend far too much on Suarez and the flanks to create chances. It is not working because the other striker is rubbish and there is not enough body in the box when we get the ball into the penalty area. We are missing Lucas dominance in midfield. We need a new Gerrard who can boss the midfield and that is not going to be Henderson.

Judge them next season, everyone wants a fairytail season but long term success is built on making mistakes and learning from them.
The question is can KD learn from the mistakes of this season?

May be if we continue this poor form in the league then we can see changes starting with the boss even if we win the FA cup. I don't mind that.

Would you prefer that we'd been knocked out of both cups in the third round?
We could be twenty points clear at the top of the league and you'd still find something to whinge about.

shortlight.
20 points clear at the top of the league and still whinging.
I would be delighted if we are 20 points off the top.

Try having a bit of faith in Kenny then. He's managed to overhaul the whole squad in 18 months. Under Hodgson and the yanks we were in genuine danger of relegation and the club going into administration. These things take time to recover from. The fact that he's already won us a cup and taken us to the final of a second is an amazing achievement.
