Strangely Brown

Can we not apply for a court restraining order against Liverpool FC...stalking of the worst kind if you ask me!

I'm with Whitey Grandad on this one if people want to boo they have paid their money and are entitled to express their feelings and opinions alike. I wonder if you were around when Branfoot was our manager if so I suspect you must have been in a minority of one not booing!

Yep oversight on my part Yoshida also had a good game and what a tackle he made when Cedric made that awful back pass!!

Well thank god for Romeu and Stephens who at least showed some commitment and endeavour today. I do wonder how many others heads were somewhere else. Sadly I was all for giving Puel another season but looking at the players over the last few games, I do wonder whether the players are really doing it for him, I think not in which case I can't see how he survive the end of season review!

On that basis the one person who deserves a rest is Romeu!

Can't remember playing Liverpool 4 times in a season before and not conceding!! It wasn't pretty but Claude does seem to have Klopps number.

I was up for giving Puel a chance, after all his footy CV wasn't the worst and he had European experience which is what we needed give the season we faced. We exited Europe going out with a whimper in a group we should have won. He got us to a cup final but with what's being produced since then, I am wondering whether the players played for themselves rather than for him? More recently some players have looked less interested as each week passes by and I noticed on Saturday, that a couple of times Puel was on the touch line and shouting to players none of them looked towards him or basically took any notice of what he was trying to say so I wonder if there is an issue between him and the players?

I hope your right. I still can't work out where he would be best used in the team out wide or more central as a number 10 role. I certainly agree with many that you can't get the best out of Tadic or Boufal on the pitch together!

Like a job vacancy in Poundland in Portsmouth

And if Mcleish gets the Barca job I will eat his sporran!!?

His helper monkey is doing it for him!!

Yep couldn't agree more, quite why he felt the need to punch the ball as opposed to using the normal and standard goalkeeping technique suggests to me, Fraser is someone who isn't confident in his own technical capability at the moment!

I agree with the player assessments but whether Puel ballsed it up is a moot point. If Puel was undecided about whether some of those that played last night were just squad players, or need to be moved on, then I suspect he has probably got a clearer view on some than others. I guess with so many Premiership teams putting out under strength teams it proves that most clubs value being in the PL rather than the FA cup looks like we are no different.

I don't think he has either and he would be daft to ever make such a statement, which of course he isn't!

The same as us!!

Not quite, the Director who spoke on the course was referring to the infrastructure of the club which is a fair point however, the playing staff I would suggest, is far from Champions League Ready and if we want to step in (or indeed up) then we have a long wait for two clubs to fail out of the top six.

Clearly Les didn't get the e-mail!!

Which is really odd when the club mantra is "Champions League Ready".

Which players were "shifted" under Branfoot?

Shame really but that's football I guess. It will be interesting to see where he ends up and whether all the conspiracy theorists were correct or not. Anyway one hopes that we will be active this window for a change

As has been posted already, we lost Austin a month ago and with the likelihood of him being out of action for a good few months, you would like to think that some activity behind the scenes might have taken place, may have done for all we know!! All I would say is that waiting for the last few days of a transfer window to get a deal over the line could possibly end up being counter productive in terms of league places, a potential cup final appearance and a feel good factor for the fans. I acknowledge that even if we did sign someone that this may not be either best value or the solution, but neither is sitting on your hands playing brinkmanship either!
