We need a constructive midfielder desperately.

Yohan Cabaye is available and so is Jack Wilshere.
Pros and cons for both but they could be signed on a 'pay as you play' basis and would reduce their wage demands just to get back into the PL.

Without such a player the manager will stick to his 'go for a 0-0' benighted tactics which will inevitably be 0-2 or 0-4 like against Chelsea - no way to progress or even survive in the PL.

If we need another attacker make it Osayi-Samuel - available for £5 million, much cheaper than Benrahama and younger with great potential.

Osayi-Samuel is a front runner who likes to take on and beat defenders.

You were not whining at all, I like the way you write.

Imagine if a 'committee' of HOL posters picked the team, tactics and transfer policy, what fun !

On the other hand, do you consider Mr Hodgson's tactics worthy of praise?

11 men up front. Rush Goalie - not attacking enough? Use all three subs first half - not quickly enough? Shout, scream and wave your fist when we lose - not passionate enough? Training at 6 every morning and a 90% pay cut - not working hard enough?

They are probably as depressed as the rest of us!
