Xabi hopeful of improvement

Xabi has conceded that our midfield and attack are not playing in the manner they should be making it extremely difficult for us to win games:
"Right now, after losing two consecutive games like we have, there is talk of a crisis.
"This season we are finding it really hard to score. When things are like that it's obviously very hard for us to win.
"We have more options than last year in terms of the number of players. But none of us - particularly midfielders and strikers - are playing right."
Xabi is convinced the situation will improve and is backing Peter Crouch to break his duck soon.
He added: "The new signings are working hard. Peter Crouch will be judged on his tally and I'm sure he'll start scoring a lot of goals soon.
"I hope we will recover and the defeat against Fulham was only a slip-up.
"The Premiership is very hard but nothing is impossible. Chelsea have 22 great players and they are a step ahead of everyone else. What's the point of saying anything else."

The worrying signs recently are that as well as not scoring we have started conceding some soft goals. We have a chance tomorrow against another newly promoted team, who don't travel too well, to get three points. Only once we put a run of wins together will we be able to stop talking about a potential crisis.
