I'm just interested to know what your overall opinion is, since most match threads i've read/posted in this year seem to have been either an overall consensus of "Great" (Valencia, Man City, Newcastle) or "Awful" (Most of the other matches).

So I'm going to do a poll after each of our remaining games, just to see what the results look like at the end of the season. Not for any particular reason...just interested.

Average, not terrible, not great.  No creativity is our biggest problem.

[big blue]

hate to say it but the performance looked like 1 of big phil's. theres been plenty of time this season where weve lacked cohesion, drive, penetration, work ethic, tactical, nouse, etc. such a strange feeling to be a fan right now i really dont know what direction were going in, whether we'l still be able spend big on revitilising the team, or even if AVB is the right man for the job. In fact with the exception of Terry, Luiz, Romeu, Ramires, Mata, Sturridge. everyone staff included have a massive question mark over them.

Not sure a poll is going to provide you with any less polarising opinion.

I thought it was a pretty standard performance, the kind we have tended to come up with at this time of the year for the last four seasons. We all claim the sky is falling want to sell everyone and replace them with the new Messi.

Then February comes, we win about ten in a row, finish respectably, and everyone forgets for another year.

The problem as you said it has become a bit of a habit and problem. Hopefully we can work this out, but we really do need to figure that creativity out. Whether its loaning some of our young players out or bringing some creativity in.

Went with poor, as we should be beating Fulham, simple as that!

It's not creativity it's mentality. I've been saying for sometime that if we could sort out our winter form, we would have won every one of the last three Premier League titles, instead of just one of them.

We have needed players in midfield and in attack who will turn up during a heavy fixture list, or on a bad night up north and go the extra mile. That is why I campaigned so heavily for Parker during the summer, it's why I think those saying Dempsey would be a bad buy are idiots. There are so many flat track bullies (cricket term) in this team it isn't funny.
