We need a centre forward and an 8 badly.

Funny isn't it, the last couple of years all we needed was a 6..

I'm not sure what's funny about thinking we need better quality players to lift us out the bottom half.

We do, but we need to manage them properly to make it happen.

Do not let Gerrard spend any more money…… we will need it in the Next transfer window when he’s gone.

An honest question…..has anyone seen any improvement anywhere on the pitch since he was appointed??

Seriously! Make reference to bottom half after one performance is just plain daft. When we plug the gaps of a cf and an 8, which position will you demand next?

We have clearly got a quality squad that are not achieving what's required. Surely the focus should be on the management?

Our strikers are shit. Ings looks like he needs a zimmer frame, and Watkins resembles a puppy chasing a balloon.

Ings had a very good first 25/30 mins but you just knew on a warm day he wouldnt last the pace. Still, he was out on his feet just after half time, hands on hips time. I don't think we can be carrying such a player on his wages, yet Gerrard has him in his 'leadership' group. If we got a chance to shift him on in the next few weeks we have to take it. I'd have a lot more faith in Watkins, for starters he can last 90 mins.

If balloons cannoned off puppies the way that footballs fire from Watkins' shins they'd be illegal.

All strikers need service, yet our midfield provide precious little of it. Until we find the right formula in the middle, we won’t score goals.

We provide crosses though, any amount of them from every angle...the Bournemouth back 3 and the two sitting midfielders must have a headache this evening from all the uncontested headers they had v Ings today. Tragic to watch in truth.

I'm not sure if the weather was a factor with Ings. I'm wondering whether he's just had it. He was lively and then totally vanished. Eitherway, neither him or Watkins occupy centre halves with enough frequency. Oh for prime Benteke in this side!

Apparently we missed our chance to sell him to West Ham at a decent price, so the chef says.

I do not trust this manager so we should not make any further signings in this window. Wait now and see if he can get a tune out of his current squad.

His signing Kamara was the best player on the pitch.
I agree, he'd make a great scout.

I have been optimistic that we will bring in one or two more but after todays shit show I doubt anyone will make a difference
