here we go again after the last few weeks with people stirring up transfer speculation ahead of the jan window Lanzinis name pops up again with the sun reporting that he remarked its an absoloute honour being linked with Liverpool...true or not or an agent stirring things up it is annoying and if something came of it the egg on the the two daves faces will come from an ostrich!!

Bilic is having problems utilising Carroll,playing him in a system that looks no different to the style the team has been playing up to now,which relies on pace and good movement up front, it's just not happening for the player.How many more games are we going to see Bilic use him in this set up before the penny drops?He is a target man ,his primary strength lie in the air,how many balls did we see crossed into the box in today's game ?....very few..Allardyce knew how to use Carroll and he set the team up accordingly with wingers who cross balls peppering the box from all angles and long balls from the back.,the football was less entertaining but it was effective ,that is what Bilic needs to adopt as a Plan B.Thoughts?
As far as the game today ,it was a poor display,Bilic summed it up perfectly in his after match interview.Thought the Match of the Day analysis from Schmeichal and Sinclair was good ,they homed in on an obvious weakness that has manifest itself a number of games this season about the defence.....Spurs pressed high up the pitch and basically the Westham defence couldn't deal with it when they are in possession,panic sets in, a loss of possession results..This has got to be a coaching issue.

And that is what it was, our main play maker out injured it was always going to be hard. The break away threat wasn't there today. To me Carroll is a last ten minutes sub player. Good to see Song back he might fill Payet's shoes some bit, he can find the odd good pass. Mooses was playing well, couldn't understand why he was taken off. If we get three OR four wins while Payet is out that would be a bonus. That Kane pain is hard to take but the bigger picture is to finish mid- table or higher. Let's start with a win next Sunday

Devastating afternoon that.. not the best performance was it? Why bring on jelavic who costs the same as a bag of nuts when we av a £7 million player (antonio) warming his Harris on the bench? Surely it can only be it's because he's a fellow county man of slav's cos he can't think he's any good? Maybe I'm being picky so soon after the game but it ain't the first time it's happened, is it? I'm going down the boozer..COYI
