Whitey Grandad

I think the criticism is that he doesn’t change things during the game. If it’s obvious that the formation isn’t working then why wait until the opposition has scored before making substitutions?

Thinking about it, he did seem to say “Phew, that’s a relief”

Was walking with his wife and kid(s) round the pitch on the lap of apologies. They seemed happy enough but unfortunately I can’t lip read.

He was alone in midfield yesterday evening. That’s a lot to ask even against a team as poor as Liverpool.

Caballero will be out of contract, won’t he?

No, he wasn’t there, which was a shame. I knew that McCarthy was bad but I had forgotten just how bad. His kicking was all over the place, everywhere that is except to one of our players. I think he must be scared of getting hit by the ball. He seems to shrink whenever danger gets near him instead of trying to make himself bigger. He adopts a crouching tiger, hidden dragon stance.

With the pace of Borja and Tella the only tactic that would work would have been to send the ball upfield quickly by dropping it over the heads of their defenders. Tippy tappy fiddling about in our penalty box is asking for trouble.

I’m just glad that I stayed behind for the lap of degradation at the end so that I had the chance to wave him goodbye. Here’s a suggestion Ralph, always play your best team.

Why start with Tella when we’ve got Che on the bench? Why leave him on when he’s obviously painfully ineffective? What has Adam Armstrong said or done that he never gets a run out? Whenever I’ve seen him play he looks lively. I didn’t realise Diallo was on the pitch until half time. What is the point?

Man City are four points ahead of them so if we beat them tonight they cannot make up the difference and City will win the League title. What a lovely thought.

A salesperson who refuses to do presentations? Whatever next, a surgeon who can’t stand the sight of blood?

Not even right on the half way line. Those would be the ‘padded seats’. The ones with reduced leg room.

She's an actress. It looked to me like acting, not genuine.

2-3 now

Leeds have finished 1-1 so we are mathematically safe.

We are safe even if Leeds draw.

Now 2-2

Changin’

Troo dat

That’s hardly a resounding endorsement.

Not some people, only me as far as I can recall so why don’t you come out and name names? The football that we played was dire.

Indeed. It’s deflection tactics aimed at a non-event. Flimsy to say the least.

Spot on

We might have drawn

All over the place yesterday, no shape or cohesion. Rolling around like a tray of marbles on a ship in a storm.
