If you had a random manager that wasn't a fans favorite or a media sweetheart. Your manager would be getting slaughtered by the press.
Carroll was clearly and panic buy and shouldn't be used to justify Kenny's signing. But my..... What a poor by he's looking like at the moment.
And the reason Kenny doesn't play Downing on the left is because he is so ineffective there, he couldn't dribble past his own foot to get in a proper cross. Playing him on the right gives him another threat of running directly at players and getting in shots.
And today's tactics was almost spot on. the only error Kenny made was starting with just one striker.
Gotta agree in part. Kennys team plays great football but possession doesnt win games. We lack creativity to unlock the likes of Stoke and the blame has to land squareley at the manager's feet for the mediocre results. If this was any other manager, he'd be under severe pressure.
Don't worry, the priority for your lot can be the Carling Cup.
Apperently carroll was our summer target. Downing can dribble and he was beggining to forge a relationship with enrique. Also you are probably better at tactics than me, but can you explain why we played with 5 at the back
gurdev i agree we have decent build up and it seems were becoming like the arsenal of old. Why did kenny try and make us play with wingers when things were going so well with our pass and move?
Downing CAN'T dribble. Can't remember him going past anyone on the left and getting a cross in.
We're really missing Suarez' creativity.
I agree Carroll and was a poor signing, don't think Downing or Henderson were poor signings just overpriced. Downing hasn't been able to reproduce the form he showed at the end of last season for Villa or for England.
Think yet again we've got carried away believing we should be higher than we are. It is a work in progress and although our attacking players have been below par (exception of Suarez Bellamy Gerrard and Maxi) what Kenny has done is sorted out our defence. Under Hodgson every corner/set piece had us terrified. with Johnson Skrts Agger and Enrique we have a complete back 4 with attacking full backs and a balance with our CBs (beauty and the beast if you like). Beyond them Kelly Carra Coates Aurelio Flano are more than capable understudies. This is Kennys first full season back in charge maybe this season was about building the defence and picking up a trophy, with one foot at Wembley could argue he's on course. Stage 2 midd and attack maybe this will be addressed in this window or maybe we'll have to wait til the summer. Walk before you can Run!
win the league cup and will be a great season and build on that for next season.
