The only reason Gev looks poor is because plain and simple he is not sure he wants to be here its plain to see. even at Lille he had class around him and came here to find this shite id be pissed too if i was him. Must feel duped and humilated.

i agree on AW loosing the players, where as we all once thought if Aw left the players would but now its clealy not the case. The jan Window will be a big one for this club and no one can have excues this time.
I think if we'd have shown some backbone in the transfer window and signed players like Mata and Cahill early, it would have shown the players some intent at least. But we left it late and the damage was done from the Man U game.

As for Gervinho, he's always been a hit and miss player from what I read about him before we signed him. I don't think it has anything to do with our current state. He's just a sloppy player. Reminds me of Gyan in his approach. He has this uncouthness in his style. It's not like Ade, he reminds me more of Gyan for some reason. There is a sloppiness to his final ball and decision making.
