There's no denying the league season is horrendous and it's even worse than last season but we kinda got to look at the bigger picture. Kenny managed to get rid of alot of deadwoods (El Zhar, Poulsen, Konchesky, Jovanovic, Kyrgiakos and N'gog - alot of whom were not good enough for the club).
Then he spends money on Adam, Downing, Enrique and Coates. These players merely "replaced" if that's what you want to call it or only improved the squad a very little bit. At that time, they looked like good purchases but now, IMO, Adam and Downing are at best - squad players. Enrique is sound and Coates is young. Unless you're Man City or Chelsea back in 2003, strenghtening the team is going to take more than one season.
I'm not saying Kenny is the right man (though he could be) and I'm aware he's made signings whom maybe aren't good enough after all. I know no individual is bigger than the club, Kenny included (and he knows it to) but after all the club has given him, and he has given the club, he at least deserves a chance to rectify his mistakes.
We started the season in 3 competitions and we've won one and with a chance to win two out of three. Still can be considered a successful season.
League campaign is woeful, disastrous, abysmal, crap, shite or whatever you want to call it and I agree and I'm not happy but I still think the biggest problem is goal scoring and possibly a lack of more quality players (two wingers and a goalscorer would do it for me). If Kenny can fill those positions up and find the formula to score, together with the amount of chances or half chances we have created, I honestly think we will do better.
The other alternative of sacking the manager for a third time in 2 years is not going to help. The last thing we want, agian, is uncertainties with regards to the manager's position. Man City spent 200 million in their first two seasons and finished 9th and 10th and never won anything. Look where they are now after spending 100 million in each of the last 4 seasons!!
At last! Some words of sanity!
Thanks!
Another season at least to rectify the short comings....
a world class striker and winger to get the best out of Suarez.
As far as Carroll is concerned, hes probably 2nd stringer unless we play the likes of Stoke.
