Is Gabby playing out wide going to be the new Carlos at right-back every single game?

Having said that, playing Gabby out wide is probably 100 times worse...

And Albrighton is a sub? Fucks sake Houllier!

Adam lloks brilliant against United. Would be very nice to have him in our midfield to pass the ball.

If you think we're playing bad have a look at United, SAF will go ballistic in the rooms.

Gerard needs to fix whatever it is that has caused us to become so disjointed. I think I'd try Petrov for Makoun

I think Makoun did alright for 25 minutes, give him a chance.

Using his whole squad - what's he playing at?

Exactly....can't believe there have been negative comments already.

Downing needs a kick up the arse, especially for that pull-back he declined.   I understand resting Albrighton, but I'd be tempted to bring him on after about 60-65 minutes, possibly Petrov for Mankoun as well.

Yes but not effectively or logically.

He's running the show.  I thought he could be a flash in the pan but looks top class again.

We've won one league game in the last half dozen or so and one away game all year, people seems to expect us to be eight-nil up at half time. We've been ok. If we aren't in front in twenty minutes or so switch to 4-4-2.

Why can't GH see that playing Gabby on the left it pointless ?

So you'd use a whole squad even if some of them were shit in certain positions? That makes sense (shouldn't you be doing the team talk Gerard?)!

There's a squad, and then there's playing Gabby out wide.
