he is saying all the right things but should he not have delivered earlier on these promises.
The biggest mistake for me was potentially to let Andy Carroll go on loan first half of the season before Surridge and coutinho came in in Jan.
We lost a lot of points in that first half and at times I think it would be great if we had a plan B to go to with a big target man up top in Carroll and with playing Suarez right behind.
When borini was injured we were left to rely on Sterling and Downing and Suarez alone which was just a bit thin.
Considering the money we spent on Carroll I think he may just have had a better first half of the season at LFC (mind you who know is he would have carried the injury he had).
In the end despite promising signs I am disappointed with the season over all. I thought we should have expected to beat Everton and maybe also competed at least for 5th with the squad we had.
I think it was a poor decision from management we did not sign Dempsey for 6M last summer especially when we did let Carroll go.
What I will say is that part of the promising signs include young players taking major steps. Wisdom, Shelvey, Sterling and more recently Henderson and Borini.
The squad looks better than it was but there is still a lot of development needed to get to the stage were we can compete for a top 4.
Two losses to WBA, a loss to Southampton and very poor results (not performances) against top 8 stand out as areas we need to improve.
Whether it will come remains to be seen. I would like to see a couple of big name signings in the summer.
It will be a long summer without footy on the telly.
YNWA,
