So you really do believe a majority of our fan base are melts?

Did we have two players called Chaplow? The one I remember was a tenacious little bugger who gave 100%, always got stuck in and put his body on the line.

Corrected that for you.

It is because, if RM wouldn't shake the keeper's hand because he was time-wasting, he's overlooking the fact that Baz will always time-waste if we are leading towards the end of a game. Don't get pissed about it unless we don't do it ourselves - that's double-standards'

RM said it could be a quad injury so if that is the case he may be missing for up to six weeks.

Still think we need to be more prepared to hoof it when we paint ourselves into a corner playing out from the back. RM is making a rod for his own back by telling the world and his wife that we will always try to pass our way out of defence because it means the opponents know they can add players to the press and really pin us in which happened quite a few times last night. When penned in with nowehere to go, hoof it!

RM took off the two wide men and we struggled after that.

Haven't heard that mentioned anywhere.

Game swung on two big moments - Charles panics and misses an absolute sitter then Smallbone gifts them their second goal. Should never have been 3 goals between the two teams.

Think we could have won this with a stronger starting line-up.

Scoreline flatters them but typical of us with too much sloppy play.

What a shame Smallbone doesn't do that at the other end of the pitch.

Bit unlucky to be one down to a deflected shot. We've put together some good moves but as often is the case let down by weak finishing. Probably be hard to get back into it now but at last we've put on a decent display.

What are we not being told about Downes injury?

Not very confident with that line-up. Think RM could have been much braver. Could be a scrappy affair and they'll probably have enough to beat us. Disappointed.

They are two well-known Liverpool players 🙂

I think Nunez and Salah might start for them.

I'd be amazed if that is their starting line-up.

I didn't claim we'll beat them but said I'd like to see us pick a strong side.

Yeah, I heard him spouting away to impress his co-commentator in one game talking about a famous composer and I suspected he'd got his facts totally wrong - I did a quick check on line and found he was talking out of his backside. His opening lines for matches are clearly scripted in advance. Nothing wrong with that but he does go totally over the top.

To lose a 15 point lead in 12 games would take some sort of collapse so don't see it happening.

Us being heavy favourites will largely depend on how we do in our remaining games because right now, based on 3 defeats in 4, we are probably 3rd favourites in that group.

It's more of a realist view than a defeatist view. With Leicester, Ipswich and Leeds (unbeaten at home) to play away and with us sat 5 points behind second and 11 points behind first, realistically we aint getting one of the two auto spots - the side isn't good enough from what I am seeing.

Why. We aren't getting an automatic spot and we are nailed on for play-offs. I view it as a good time to put out our strongest available team and see how they do against Klopp's collection of experience and yoof.

He was in the pictures from training ahead of the Millwall game.
