Very good point 🙂

Tall Paul and Sulemana look to me like two players who might have something about them but they've needed more game time which RM never gave them. Nothing to lose now - give them more minutes on the pitch and see what they can do - we're not blessed with forwards anyway.

Lovely assist from Fernandes for Archer's goal. 🙂

I wonder if Hooper would have given that as a foul if it was done to Jotta at Anfield. Hmmmmmmm.

That last 35 minutes was all we ask from our side and it was brilliant. At last we showed fight and aggression and got in their faces. We got the ball forward quickly and gave it a right go. The podgy little guy in blue bottled that decision and he's a cheat!

Bring on Big Paul and chuck everything at them.

Wow...we woke up!

GGGGOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLL.......AAAAAARRRRRCCCCHHHHUUUUURRRRRGGGGGHHHHH.

A lot of it is lack of fitness - clear as day watching them cover the ground compared with us.

Christ, no changes - another clueless coach.

We look a nothing side, poor all over the pitch. We fail to mark or close down making it so easy for our opponents and this is a basic requirement. I guess we all knew but there is a massive rebuild needed to make a side that can compete. Might as well throw TP on as stick Archer up front on his own and expect him to do something. Very disheartening and the fitness level thing is clear for all to see. At least we haven't done too much tippy tappy at the back.

Never seen a player score from the bench 🙂

Assume it'll be a back five looking at the team.

Ok, hadn't heard that.

Nothing mind bending there then although he's clearly on the same page as RM regarding Taylor. No KWP.

More importantly, has he got another job yet? Some thought the big boys of Europe would be queuing up for his services.

It'll be interesting to see whether Rusk gives a game to any of the youngsters particularly Sam Amo. Also, will he start Tall Paul up front. Just hoping it's not a complete re-hash of Russball. Even if we lose let's at least try something different.

Don't try to be everyone's best mate.

Do we have any guesses on what second the first Liverpool goal will be scored tonight?

Nah, we don't train Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Not sure about that. The word was SR hadn't been looking for a replacement because they intended to stick with RM. Obviously this all changed on Sunday out of the blue - I reckon Dragan was watching the Spurs game and, after the 4th goal went in, he was straight on the blower to Rasmus saying he wanted Martin gone.

I share your concerns but who else at the club did you expect would be tasked with sourcing our next manager? There is not one person currently working for the club with a shred of credibility when it comes to handling this very important decision. We should probably be appointing an experienced Director of Football and leaving him to come up with a list of candidates. There is no rush because we are going to be relegated whichever way you cut it. Do the job properly and you might not be doing it again in another 9 months 😞

Don't think it would all be so pally pally at training.

Surely that would be classed as rocket science 🙂

He's been asked to do too much which is not his fault. Downes should have been played in a double pivot in front of the back four.
