From what I've seen of Hull (which is mainly highlights admittedly) Manucho is garbage and Geovanni has been spectacularly off form recently.

It's no point picking players that aren't doing the business, no matter what position they are.

They have not been playing that well I grant you. The problem is though City have no creativity in midfield so right now there only option is to get the ball wide and put balls in the box and utilise the arial threat of Manucho and Cousin with Geo feeding off the scraps. Playing the team he did on Saturday just sent out the message 'relegate us'.

Liverpool are one of Europes biggest spending clubs!

Depends. Whilst they have not consistently been doing the business, they were left out of the side in favour of others who simply aren't even capable of doing so. It would be better to gamble on players who could something rather than those you know won't IMO.

Anyway, it's pretty much curtains now, and I think they'll need a lot of work to try and push for a return too.

Newcastle bagged me £50 yest so was pleased they won.

A win v Fulham and a draw v Villa will see them safe.

Was awesome, atmosphere was brilliant.

Had some good craic with the Geordie in front of me. First time i had been there for a while, so was nice to take the atmosphere in again and see us score a few goals and win.

We played like we needed to, decent team performance and some passion.
