Anyone else feel the good mood of last season is gone, totally gone.

Im no longer excited by watching Liverpool play (Even without Suarez we were exciting). Now we look lazy and uninterested.

This season always had potential to be a hangover for us, unfortunately it seems to have come to fruition looking at performances thus far. They can get back on track but the job at hand shouldn't be underestimated. Getting that winning mentality back to the levels of last season is going to be very difficult.

Whats the chances we'll see SG at CB within the next 12 months? If that happens I think i'll lose my mind.

I'll have murdered everyone in the thread before you get that far.

Well, ya the mood isn't great.

So putting a positive spin on things......

We have one of the toughest fixtures away to City out of the way. One tough derby fixture out of the way. An tricky away fixture with a top 4 rival out of the way. Despite being well off the boil we are also still only 3 points off 4th.

We have one of the best strikers in the EPL to come back into the team. We have a talented bunch of players and a talented manager. All thats required is a bit of patience and we'll be back in the mix.

Plus we are playing the European champions in the best football club competition coming up.

All this is is a bad run. Plenty to look forward to. :cool:

All part of the inevitable drift backwards to replace Mignolet for the 2016/17 season.

Looks like Valdes will join in the next fortnight, I'm not sure how good he will be but I am sure he will be better than Mignolet.

Could be tried as a 3rd cb, doubt we will see it in anything bar a cup game tho.

So we are going to buy Higuain in January!

Seems odd that Napoli would sell him although if he is in the situation where Rafa has to sell to buy (familiar territory for Rafa) he might have no choice.

Last_Minute · 02-10-2014 08:06PM

Balotelli is lazy and unpredictable, we can only hope he makes a sustained effort soon as he has the potential to be a great player.

Rafa will be lucky to have a job there in January!

Higuain should have been the player we bought during the summer. He should have been the player we bought after they got knocked out of the CL. when the window was still open. and before we bought Balotelli.

But we bought Balotelli for £16m instead of paying the extra £10m and getting him.

£25m for Higuain and £12m for M'Vila would have been a whole lot better.

Absolutely. However there are some people who appear to be a lot more panicked and negative than they should be. Balotelli was called a disease on here last night for example. SG is past it. BR is clueless. All these are classic OTT.

1 good performance out of 10 is also quite harsh. We've played 9 games this season for a start.

Against Southampton we had some good spells, standard first game back get points on the board display. Excellent versus Spurs. We deserved more from the Everton game certainly.

I accept that it hasn't been good enough but this is the kind of language (1 out of 10) that really irks me. Needlessly OTT.

Hey, hey, hey man. Lay off the OTT bashing will ya, I never say anything i like that.

Hindsight is a powerful thing, and certainly at the moment they would have been a better bet than Balo. But im willing to give Balo time.

I am willing to give Balotelli time as well.

We were linked with Higuain though before we signed Balotelli to be honest I thought the reason we pulled out of the Remy deal was because we were waiting to see if Napoli got knocked out of the CL and we could do a deal with Lucas and Agger going the other way.

klose · 02-10-2014 08:36PM

Giving how de laurentiis (napolis owner) drives a hard bargain i doubt they would sell higuain for £25 mill considering they spend €40 mill to buy him they would want a profit and more considering there back up is pretty ****e. Bit of trouble at napoli atm in any case, perhaps a possibility we could nab him in the future?

Agent Coulson · 02-10-2014 08:40PM

From everything I read since Napoli got knocked out of the CL Higuain wants out of there.

OwaynOTT · 02-10-2014 08:44PM

Right I really think we need to start using our secret weapon, the reversed reverse double revese jinx.
Done us proud last season.

Some clusterfcuk of a season so far. And then all the cheap jerseys were gone on amazon and then the missus got soda bread instead of a brown sliced pan and some sap hit the back of my new car that I just got there and I had to listen to some class bantz today.

Team needs to get the finger out pronto or I'm going back to supporting West Ham.

Agent Coulson · 02-10-2014 08:45PM

Aspas scored his first goal in Europe for Sevilla in there 2-2 draw.

Need to bring back the Panda's with the revese jinx as well.

Hopefully we'll have improved enough by January to be an attractive proposition for him. If we are languishing in 7th or something by then and out of the CL I can't see him coming to us.

A reverse jinx now would be predicting a win for us.

Fescue · 02-10-2014 08:53PM

Gary Medel would have been a really smart move,

ebbsy · 02-10-2014 08:59PM

People can talk all they like about SAS being out/gone but there is no urgency to get forward. Goalkeeper is rubbish as well, why not try for Lopez ?

Will we win this weekend ? A draw I would say.

I've asked this before. Apparently back in the day some Spurs fan was friendly with a mod and they got granted their own forum.

Long story, they have their own special sub forum.

Not quite, but not worth talking about anyhow.

For those that don't know, it's staying where it is, and similar for other clubs won't be introduced.

brevity · 02-10-2014 09:17PM

Rodgers has (to use daithijjj's phrase) a real blind spot for players like Medel. It's as clear as day that we need one though.
