Nothing wrong with letting him go. It’s not getting a replacement that’s hurting us. Targett is a decent player but not a very good left back.

Does anybody think that he may have deliberately shanked that cross with his right foot in order to make a point to his manager?

I agree. Romeu seems to play the whole game with his back to the opposition goal and I can't remember seeing him turn and drive forward. As for throw-ins there is never any urgency, nobody is moving about looking for space. They all just stand there thinking 'I hope he doesn't throw it to me'.

Was he playing?

I would love it if that happened, love it.

That’s offside in my book.

Of course it’s possible for a right back to play left back but why put him there and then stick a midfielder in his natural position?

Ralph would have Matt LeTiss playing at left back.

No handball by Liverpool who then run down the other end and score.

You are a biased and twisted that you have lost all sense of reality. The Supreme Court did not ‘take an interest in current affairs’. It rippled that Johnson could not shut down Parliament just to suit his own desires. The election is only ‘being framed as Parliament against the people’ because you and your lot are choosing to put it that way. They don’t like it when the only true democratic body in Britain acts as it should. It is irrelevant how many constituencies voted which way in that advisory Referendum, it was a nationwide opinion poll yet you try to insist that it was democratic. Only in your world. If you for some weird reason believe that the whole establishment is pro-remain then that only goes to show how extreme your views are. Your last sentence is one more step on the road to dictatorship.

Not just shirts but boots, socks, legs, knees and teeth too.

Was he? That is impossible to judge from a TV screen. There are too many imprecisions. The instant that they choose the freeze-frame from a 50 fps set of images allows for an inaccuracy of 20ms which equates to over 30 cm for someone running at about 15mph. The lines that they draw across the pitch are no more accurate than 30 cm at best on the far side of the pitch. Nowhere near enough to interfere it’s the decisions taken on the field.

Now don’t try to turn this back on me. What was your turn of phrase? “Intervened in political matters”. A ‘political tool’ is what you wanted the Supreme Court to be. To help your man with his dictatorial actions. Instead they supported Parliament, the only true democratic will of the people.

To be fair they see the opposition doing that to us every game and us not winning the ball.

I spent my childhood on the east coast at Harwich and didn’t wear long trousers until I was 13. Or should this be on the thread about things that make you feel old.

What do you mean ‘acted as a political tool’? Absolute tosh. They upheld the Law.

Full Back is a specialised position. They protect the flanks and anchor the outsides of the defensive line. We only had one for the first half and he was played on his wrong side. For their second goal we had Djenepo on our left and Armstrong too far upfield on the right. They had time to pick out a cross to Richarlison who was unmarked. You can’t play a game without full backs.

Some go on about finishing eighth but how many points did we get? It was 46 points, the same as Bournemouth and one more that West Brom. 46 points is nothing special. And Puel’s handling of our European campaign was abysmal.

No matter what you think of him he has played all his career at right back and has been successful there. So why the f*ck play him at left back?

Puel? Don’t be ridiculous. His home games were worse than this season’s. He started this rot.

Obafemi on in injury time? Really???

Now you are showing your true colours. The Supreme Court is there to define The Law, not to act as a political tool, thank goodness.

Yes, for someone of my age 'may not' means that they are not allowed to. If there was a possibility that they might I would have written 'might not'. That's what I meant, anyway.

But they can join the army at 16. They may not get posted to the front line but there is some truth in her assertion.
