Whitey Grandad

Bit late for us, although I can't blame him for our loss, unfortunately. This lack of a game is effectively a fine of a few thousand pounds for him.

Not really. He can't hold a line and play anybody offside.

If the defence had been doing its ob properly then neither action would have been necessary.

I thought 17th was all you were aiming for?

Up to 3 after yesterday.

I see Boruc let in a couple of goals himself on Saturday to lose two points

Agreed, not even a smell of a fart.

I'm with you on this. Why is anyone having a go at Forster? Nobody could possibly argue that a different goalkeeper would have made any difference yesterday.

Losing one game doesn't indicate a loss of form.

She's no spring chicken but I would

Yes, we were far too sluggish.

The first time might have been an error but you can't say that he got it wrong yesterday. He prevented a goal, what more could you want?

Give over. He had no chance with any of the goals today. The first took at least one deflection and ended up right in the bottom corner.

Thanks, interesting read. 'Pellè and Dusan Tadic were subdued, and Sadio Mané scatty' sums it up nicely.

Still some way off, I should think. Even when match fit it's going to take him 10 games or so to get back to full sharpness.

Once we slide down the table we won't get picked for TV and have silly kick-off times.

Oh good, there's another positive

Too many plastics today. Heard in the Chapel: "What I can't understand is why Gerrard isn't playing for them"

I thought Victor was on 4?

You're surely not blaming Forster for any of their goals???

Boogger. The game all changed after Morgan had to go off and we lost our defensive screen. Even then there was too much faffing around at the back in the second half. In front of their GK and back four they are a very good team but whenever the ball was lumped in the air they flapped and panicked and we got some decent chances from the knock downs so want do we do? Faff around, faff around, lose the ball. Faff around, faff around, lose the ball. Faff around, faff around, lose the ball. And so it went on until they shot, and scored, and shot, and shot.. Pellè was inconspicuous. Tadic poor first touch and awful crosses. Their 3rd came from his poor corner and the whole stand around me was screaming that Clichy was free Mané was self-indulgent. Long would have been a far better choice for that position.

The problem is that tickets have been on restricted sale for too long and once they reached general sale there was not enough time for people to change their plans. My lot would have taken another couple of adult+child tickets if they could.

Real friends would understand. Perhaps they're only coming to watch the match?
