Do we have any midfielders on the pitch today?

We're too damn passive. Need to get a grip.

That is world class. Great play from Lyanco to start it off. But Jesus: Redmond did brilliantly.

So is Perraud injured?

I picked the wrong time to give up drinking on weeknights.

Freeing up McCarthy to play as one of the 10s.

REALLY!!!? Hadn't seen this before. And Saints get shit for having a breather on 60 minutes?!

REALLY?! I'm working off memory: didn't fact-check. Isn't it crazy how the mind works. I'd have bet my house he was straight after Ronald. But damn: Les made some strange decisions.

"We need 9 substitutes".

I can see that, however: style of play: nothing suggested high-press, energy, progression. And following Koeman? When we were at the highest ebb we'd had in years? Did any of us, at the time say: "oh hell yes!"?

I feel sick. Bunch of bin-dipping, car stereo stealing twats. Fuck off.

But wouldn't it be wonderful if they did. No, really. 🤮

Only watched the last 20 minutes. Bin dippers on top. But aren't the commentators meant to be impartial? It's like they want Liverpool (the bestestest team ever, with the bestestest, hard done by fans) to win.

Second touch is a tackle! Like a few strikers we've had over the years.

It was simply a strange, strange appointment. Do we know who turned us down before we got to the bottom of the barrel?

Been wondering if we'll go back for Brandon Williams? He can play both sides. Not sure how he really got on at Norwich: looked a little shaky in his early games (according to wisdom on here), then got some decent reviews in the papers I believe. Performance in poor Norwich team is maybe not the best way to judge a player though. Utd would probably want stupid money again.

And does he run with arms like a T-Rex?

Plus the previous Newcastle link = BIDDING WAR! Would be a shame if he went, would like to see him here for another couple of seasons. I wonder what fee we could get for him? £25M?

Gives him more time to play Monopoly.

The people's game.

Some interesting snippets in that: how close to the club are the Mail? Mentions "new goalkeeper, centre-back and reinforcements in attack." And FF being offered a new deal??!

Absolutely. The erosion in quality of our squad since Koeman has been horrific. However I think we did better last summer than for some years, and hopefully with the clever ex-Brentford guy involved we can do even better this time around. Tough to make immediate impact without some serious £££ though. I am quite looking forward to the summer actually: rebuild, refresh and go again.

It was saddening to hear our fans yesterday: though I absolutely understand the frustration. Shame that the great relationship that was in place seems to have eroded so much.

Is Fat Frank a better manager than Ralph?

Suggestions of something of a clear out of first team players: maybe a few of them are not only on the beach, but mentally out of the club.
