Whitey Grandad

He’s still a better choice than Tella or Smallbone.

Oh FFS! We shall never hear the end of it.

Hard to have an impact when the manager doesn’t put you on the pitch.

I was thinking more of Che Adams. I can see no explanation for starting Tella ahead of him. Adam Armstrong I agree with you. He's a much better prospect than Tella will ever be.

We were drawing up until we were losing.

His ideal position is on the bench.

I can only assume that you didn’t watch the game. After they equalised we had no control of the ball, the play was all down our end, we had no counter attacks, our midfield was non existent and it was obvious which team was going to score next. Our goalkeeper and centre backs were being harassed as they tried to play the ball around and were rushed into mistakes and loose passes. it wasn’t until the last few minutes of the game that we finally started to put together a good spell of football and were making several passes in succession. But this was after we had put our three subs on, Adams, Romeu and Stuart Armstrong. That’s three players from our A team. Players who should have been on from the start. Can anybody please tell me why he started with Tella? Anybody?

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
