I'll buy that. From his profile, just think he's a possibility. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

That has to be the team. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

But sounds like, apart from the goal, he's having a mare. [emoji849][emoji852]️[emoji852]️ Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

But totally fits our mould. Chelsea, not getting chances, young. Like Bertrand, Romeu. Could be a runner, and I think we could do worse. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Or some form of lunacy, particularly at the moment! But others come further. A friend flies down (after tram/train) from Manchester. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

There are some who make occasional epic journeys from far-off lands, but I know of several season ticket holders who travel from the north of England for pretty well every game. I've got a season ticket and do a round trip of 400 miles for a home game. Only one away game is further for me. There's your opening bid. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Am I reading this correctly? Katrina out, Les in? Doesn't impress me, if so. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Apparently he's injured! So sad. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/virgil-van-dijk-set-miss-14153231 Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

He didn't decide to be defensive. He didn't invite pressure. Watford changed their game to a more direct, physical aerial bombardment and forced us to be defensive. We are always going to be vulnerable to those tactics as we don't have enough big, string players to counter. Yes, MP might have made changes, but I don't think they'd have necessarily made things better. We needed to step up our intensity to cope with the onslaught, and to a large extent, did. But we list composure and couldn't play our way out. I don't believe for a moment that it was our change of tactics that made the difference in the second half. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Indeed. Imagine the scenes if that "goal" had been scored against a top six team. Especially one of them. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

No idea, but possibly the words pram and toys could be relevant? Or the new assistant first team coach? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Although I was at the game I wasn't thinking of commenting as there are do many experts on here already. But, in the cold light of day, and with anger slightly subsided, here goes. Firstly, this was better. In the first half we expressed ourselves, got forward, scored two goals. Both by a player regularly derided on here as being negative, only passing backwards and not getting into goal-scoring positions. Obviously the second half was very different, but not, as so many seem to be suggesting, because we changed tactics and decided, or were told, to fall back and defend. We didn't "invite them on". No. We tried to continue with the same tactics from the first half, which had worked because Watford weren't playing in a way that would stop us. The second half was different because Watford brought on strong, physical players, upped their tempo and played much more directly. Simply, we were bullied, and helped a lot by the ref. But where I agree with others is that MP was too slow to counter their changes. Lemina for Davis was right, but maybe a bit late. He could have brought on another CB and sacrificed JWP or Tadic. That might have worked, but in his defence, if MP had done that, it would have been accepting that we were just going to park the bus and try to hold on. In my very humble opinion, we defended very strongly against the onslaught. Hoedt and Cedric outstanding. Hojbjerg and Romeu good as well, but all did their bit. Accepting that Davis lost the ball for the first goal, but another view is that he was trying to get our passing game going again. We'd lost composure and were hoofing. The ball just kept coming back. It was right to try to play our way out. I can also just about understand the other subs not being used earlier. We were beginning to weather the storm with the players on the pitch and having two time-wasting subs for added time would have been good. And as for the handball goal - one of the worst bits of refereeing I've seen in a long time. The ref's whole body language suggested he wasn't going to be challenged or check with the assistant. Yellow out very quickly for Cedric. Why wasn't Bertrand more forceful? He has the right to be so, as captain. When the hell will football come out of the dark ages and catch up with pretty-well every other sport using video technology. These mistakes must be put right immediatey. No amount of retrospective action will get us two points back, and that could mean relegation - a cost of tens of millions. And to say it didn't matter as we'd had a bad second half is utter rubbish. It made all the difference. If the goal hadn't stood, and we'd held out, I would have called it a great morale-boosting rearguard defensive display earning a critical three points. But now, because of cheating, it's the opposite. I'm gutted, and gutted for the team, who I thought we're brilliant today. Keep playing with that spirit and well stay up. Despite the manager.

As others have said, he was on a yellow. The way cards were being liberally dished out (to us, not them) he would probably have been sent off. Cedric got yellow. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I think you're right. He was slow coming out, but was covering the header. When no header came the ball should have continued across the goal and that's where AM was moving. The handball was unexpected and completely changed the ball's trajectory. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I do care. No, we weren't out of sight, but we were winning. The cheating handball goal prevented us from getting three points. Without it we would have won, albeit hanging on. But don't tell me it didn't matter. It did. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Doh. [emoji849] Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk And that's where I am now. Still sulking and seething that such a cash rich Prem league can't do what every other sport has done - embrace proper video referral technology.

You know that's where I live? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Agreed. The support today was good, and but for a blatant cheating goal would have helped us to 3 pts. The team have the ability to keep us up. Support them, FFS. The manager worries me. But changing him now will lose us any deals in this window and there's no guarantee we'll get better. Back him. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Don't agree. Totally failed to deal with their physical bullying of Long. We got 5 yellows for very little. They got none, despite constant fouling, mainly because he didn't even give the fouls. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I would think the tea lady will out think Pellegrino. In fact, anyone capable of thought probably would. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

So I guess Boufal, Tadic and Davis/JWP plus Long. Although to me it's more logical to start with Gabbiadini when we're fresh and might supply him, then use Long later. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

All of them, I've heard. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
