Hugely frustrating yet again. It was a textbook away performance for the first 70 minutes then... bang... all the decent work goes to waste. We're still on par with last season but.... The last five league games this season: W1 D1 L3 (4 points) The last five league games this time last season: W1 D0 L4 (3 points) The next five league games last season: W4 D1 L0 (13 points) Are we about to turn the same corner or stumble along on the same path? Our next 5 league games: Burnley (A) Leicester (H) Swansea (A) West Ham (H) Sunderland (A) A pivotal 5 - 6 weeks beckons...

Fonte to blame for that one

Sunderland 2 (defoe 2nd pen) Liverpool 2

2-0 game over

Penalty to Everton

Long on for Clasie

Cock, cock and thrice cock 1-0

WBA 3 Hull 1 Sunderland 1 Liverpool 2 (Mane)

WBA 2 Hull 1

WBA 1 Hull 1

This is all set up nicely for a stonking match winning half hour cameo from Boufal in the second half

Tempting fate I know, but this is a decent 'away team' first half display from us thus far

That's a goal if JRod gets that on target

Sunderland 1 (Defoe pen) Liverpool 1

WBA 0 Hull 1 (Snodgrass)

Sunderland 0 Liverpool 1 (Sturridge)

Miralles coming on....

Today's game might well be the Tipping Point on here...

LeG seems well contected, so probably a combination of both I'd venture

I thought we'd had enough of 'sideways football'...?

Good question. Bit annoyed about that... brought him into my fantasy premier league team this week on a hunch that he'd start

Surgical needle and thread for Trousers' split sides please matron! p.s. cheers for info though

If you start the game, you can't then come off the bench to score a worldy winner in the last 10 minutes...that's why...

Does anyone know what is wrong with McCarthy? I thought he had a relatively minor hamstring problem when the nature of his injury was first announced by the club but it must be something more serious than that now given his prolonged absence?
