I would not pin too much hope or interest in Delph's return, I see people on here getting very excited about a lad who has barely played for us and who is very much in a developmental stage. He is not going to save this team so should not be rushed back. I however would like to state that I really do think Delph can be a fantastic footballer, being a combination of Petrov's ability on the ball & Reo Cokers legs and aggression. Let's get him fit, get him excelling in the reserves, and then throw him in when ready.

Friedel-----------------------------

--Beye---------Cuellar----------Dunne---------Warnock---

--Albrighton-----Bannan-------Ireland---------Downing----

--------------------Young--------------------------------------

--------------------------------Heskey-------------------------

Obviously that's a light midfield, but with NRC, Petrov etc out, what else do we have - Hogg? Please no!

agree with this team until your final point where I would pick hogg over Ireland all day in a derby clash. I understand hogg's limitations but we need at least 1 in midfield who is willing to fight.

The fonz is a dead ringer for the new karate kid, he wants to try that somersault kick at the end of the film on Glen Johnson's face.

Hold up. I thought I would just let everyone know, 71 mins and I have just seen Ireland make a tackle.

**** it I missed it! Are u sure it was him?

Now we are playing with no Left Winger by the looks of it, in fact i cant **** tell where any of the words removed are playings, no shape, no **** nothing

we play better 442 and he changes back to 451. fonz looks sharpe so he **** him off to the Left wing. jesus christ, stand up and earn your money GH

Because this half he's looked quite decent.

Its the best game he has had by a **** mile, however unfortunately quite decent is about as good as its going to get

Gerrard looks cold, he should get himself inside in the warm and have a cuppa........**** bastard!

What happened with the 3rd goal, i went to get some crumpets!

So did our defence, did you not see them?

GH seems to be able to change a game with subs/formations but why is he getting it so wrong to start with

forget what i said GH is a word removed along with a few others tonight

GH seems to be able to change a game with subs/formations but why is he getting it so wrong to start with

need to take our chances.....**** hell

its sad that im getting excited because we got 2 crosses in, even sader when neither went anywhere near a villa player

He's not even had a transfer window and has got more walking wounded than the red cross at the moment. What a ridiculous complete over reaction.

Let's see where we are at the end of the season.

It's the lack of fight that's a worry. "attitude reflects leadership" so if the players cant be **** it means the manager dont know whats hes doing or they dont like him

Bring back MON!

Ummm we did'nt get rid of him, the tw*t **** off because he like I said is a tw*t

Are you suggesting a centre midfield of Delfouneso and Carew...?

Plenty to blame, but lay off the kids ffs. Like it or not, they're our future. At least they can put a tackle in.

Totally agree. Hogg looks shy in possession but at this moment in time I'd have 11 of him out there just tackling. You have to compete before you start playing and it's the senior players who are not.

Players have zero confidence and zero fight and once again we play a formation that clearly hasn't worked.

Things do not look good houllier.

Agreed, & will he change anything? Probably not!

Houlliers inability to take note of the glaringly obvious, that is Cuellar when playeds form has been lightyears ahead of what we currently have, is quickly starting to get my goat.

I'm not a CC fan and have argued with fans on here about his inclusion, but GH has to change the team where he can, CC in for Collins and Clarke in at LB for Warnock, and **** it Beye in for Young. Got to give others a chance and even if they dont cut it it may act as a kick up the arse for some of these **** playing shit.

What the **** is this???? Yes Warnock is the shittest **** LB in the league however there is no **** fight from anyone. Attitude of players comes from leadership, GH is not doing it. All he talked about b4 the blues game was that the players had to set an example to the supporters by behaving themselves, when he should be sending them out wanting to kill the mother ****!

Time to step up Stephen Ireland, I will be watching the **** like a hawk seeing if he continues to back out of any physical contact tonight. I would love lots of people after the game telling me I was wrong and that he has a had a blinder.....but I wont hold my breath!

I'm a firm believer that the back 4 starting last night is our best back 4. However form is letting down them down so there is no harm in putting in Carlos in. I do rate Young, Collins, & Dunne & would possibly drop Collins to accomodate CC. However i think our biggest problem lies with Warnock, he just can't defend. We need a LB!

We also need to knock this 2nd striker thing on the head, we have not got the talent to do it. Get 2 up front, Gabby & the Fonz or play 4-3-3, cram the midfield with 2 wide attacking players. Downing/Young or albrighton when fit.

This match (like many others) should go hands down to Carew.

Won't argue with that.

Coach or not a coach you certainly can not judge players from watching match of the day highlights

No! But I am a level 3 (uefa coach. I know it's not much but it is a qualification none the less

What concerns me is how many times could we see GH have to change a game plan b

Now i thought MON was terrible at changing games but obviously did do his homework b4hand. We need to breed a combo of GH & MON
