Project Mayhem

Seems the club does nothing but bring in project players. That's players who are not the finished article (Boateng) and need work or players that are way off from being classed as world class (Zokora). Or players that apparently have potential (Jenas - ha!).

Obviously, a complete finished article DM or Attacking Midfielder would be perfect, but then every club wishes to have these players and not every club can. Which means we have to make do with what we have, and what we have are players brought in by the present management to push for 4th. So we can't complain about not having the right players, because surely the management know who the right players are. Why else buy them?

Sadly, at times, it seems they don't have a clue.

Our midfield lacks structure. There is no true clarification of the roles that each individual have. Its a mish-mash of squad players who are all under performing and failing to reach their true potential. Why? Well, one might think its because they are being selected and are not getting the directions they require from the coach. This is the scary part. Surely the coach can aim to get every player playing to their strengths when part of a unit/team?

If there is no finished article world class player on his way to Spurs, then we have to make do with what we have - and what we have appears to be what Martin Jol wants - therefore, in his head, its good enough to push for 4th. We've been here before, haven't we?

He has to begin to realise the potential he has at the club. He signed off on the players we have bought. If he's the right man, he'll get it right on the pitch. If he cant.....

We are fucking useless at the moment, he needs to play Boateng, Huddlestone, Taarabt and Rose for the Derby game in midfield, Defoe and Pekhart up front and Berchiche at left back.
Drop Stalteri and he gets confused with what to kick (player or ball) and for fucks sake tell Chimbonda he's a Right BACK!!!!!
The overpaid underperformers need a wake up, now is the time.

I'd agree with having Hudd, Boateng and Taarabt. Berchiche is apparently very very decent.

Shame we haven't got a full strength squad. Doubt we would lose many at home if we did.
