Going 8 games unbeaten and then losing to a side in the relegation places. Only at Arsenal...

That being said, 21 league points from a possible 24 is brilliant. Included in that are wins against Spurs, Liverpool, Everton, Villa and Newcastle. Not bad going really.

City should approach Madrid in the summer and do everything possible to make Jose Mourinho their big summer 'signing'.
They need someone that can deliver instant success. There are a lot of good young managers on the continent yet to sample English football, so could end up with another Vilas-Boas outcome.

They've obviously got plenty of top strikers, midfield is good enough but defence could do with improvement. When missing first choice defenders they struggle. Savic isn't good enough to step in as back up, he's cost them points on a regular basis. Send him out on loan, and if he doesn't improve then get shot. Could probably do with decent back up and a big name centre half, someone like Chiellini.


As for Liverpool at Newcastle today, they'll obviously have a chance against our patched up back four. However, if we take the game to them and can get in front then I'd be confident of holding it, due to Dalglish's lack of a plan B and general crap tactics. Cisse is in irresistible form, him and Ba have such menacing movement there is always going to be a chance for goals. Ben Arfa is getting a chance somewhere he can do damage as well. Hopefully can nick a couple of early goals and then try and shut them out. As long as it doesn't end in the same way the Wolves game did after attempting that game plan.

Andy Carroll dives with the goal wide open...doh!

Shrek called, he wants his donkey back.


Pa Demba Rodney Cisse, what a signing. Goals galore.

Like football? Watch highlights of BvB against Stuttgart from Friday night. What a game. Absolutely breathtaking.

Kenny Dalglish should do the right thing and resign now. No League Cup win is going to paper over the cracks of what is a simply awful Liverpool team.

Was Roy Hodgson really this bad??....

Arf

That said, outfielder in goals. Collectors item

Post match press conference will go one of two ways; Dalglish will see his a*** and refuse to talk, or if he does it will be full of complaints, woe is me comments, how everything is not his fault.

I will stick my neck out and go for the former....

I bet Hodgson would've done a better job if he was given the money Dalglish has been given. I hope they finish in the bottom half.
