West Brom did what they had to do. Combined with some crap finishing from us, they got the win. Steve Clarke probably knows our weaknesses more than we do.

We're unlucky to have incompetent forwards
---------------------------------------------------
I don´t think that luck has anything to do with it.
We need a brand new strikeforce as our current one is nowhere near good enough for a team with supposed title aspirations.
The board need to get to work on this issue asap.

Gazza with you on this game. We lost, did not get beaten. In other words did not play to our potential. Especially our forwards.

Ok that´s better Gazza. It just sounded like sour grapes when you said West Brom were crap today.
I´m not saying that West Brom played well either but they exploited our weaknesses, probably because Clarke knows us so well.
In fact have we actually won a game where Steve Clarke has been either the opposition manager or assistant ?
Anyway Gazza a serious question for you what do you about our strikeforce conundrum ?
We´re not scoring enough goals. What´s the solution ?

Gazza >
So basically neither Torres or Sturridge are good enough to lead the line for us.
Does that mean we need a new strikeforce ?
Of course I´m all for bringing in Falcao but if Torres moves in the other direction we´ll still be short of strikers in the squad.
Not that I want to keep Torres, I can´t wait till he leaves.

I said in the summer ideally we need a completely new strike force and I stand by that.

Gazza we actually agree on something
Or are you going to change you mind now that I said it ?
