The problem for me is not the league table. Yes 2 pt's is not ideal after 7 games and clearly not acceptable but other teams are also struggling. 1 win would take us above Norwich, southampton and reading so we don't need any knee jerk reactions.
I also don't want harry redknapp who is not the answer to our problems.
What I would like to see is a settled side starting to form.
Mark hughes is very quick to change a side based on results but with the amount of new faces that is not a solution for me.
Why did he start Clint Hill, a dreadful left back with no pace when we had a fit Troare?
Mbia does not look up to pace to play centre midfield and after the Ferdinand display I would try and work on a nelson/mbia partnership and stop all these changes.
Samba diakite is a liability like some suggest but why are people suggesting him to play as a defensive midfielder? A position where he would have to put in endless amounts of tackles, something he is clearly not good at. He could be a very big player for us but he needs to play further up the field. His strengths remind me of Yaya at city, ok still very raw and not in the same league as yaya yet but when he runs forward with the ball he is very dificult to stop.
I'll add my piece on Park as he has been mentioned quite allot. For me he is given the captains armband because he is the type of player that leads by example. He is never going to shout, but he will work his nuts off and fight for every ball. IMO this tends to work in a winning side with confidence but at this moment I believe we need a vocal leader, which we clearly lack.
Anyway with the current players my team would be the following.
Cesar
Bosingwa, Nelson, Mbia, Troare
Faurlin
Granola Diakite
Holliet Taarabt
Zamora
Holliet and adel have to start together as they are both players that make something happen. We have had good possession but done nothing with it.
West brom gave us a real lesson in 1 touch football in that 1st half
