I know we look negative. But do we really have the quality players to do anything else?

Every one of our players looks isolated and outnumbered. Romeu is amazing though.

VVD injury ...

Indeed, a concerning start. Big hole between JRod and defence at the minute,

Liverpool looking very sharp. But kept at arms length so far.

Danger from the start. 6-1 last season wasn't it?

No confidence but then who can blame them after 3 defeats in a row. At least we didn't lose.

I'm here. Total thrashing

Bit random but maybe he's sick of the rotation policy. Would be a massive loss on top of Fonte and worrying sign of the state of things.

Odd to suddenly come out with that. Brace for a bid?

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jan/06/bayer-leverkusen-sell-javier-hernandez-summer Probably out of our wage bracket - but a good one to get in on loan with a view to a cut-price permanent move in summer? Just dreaming.

Shame to see him go but obviously feels he is bigger than the club. Needs adequately replacing, which worries me more. Emphasis on adequately.

Been fairly obvious after selling Mane, Pelle and Wayama in the summer and not replacing adequately we would struggle this season. Losing players to injury hasn't helped either. But after our transfer dealings in the summer is anyone really surprised?

The manager isn't to blame. It is the lack of investment. Team just isn't what it used to be. The star quality has been removed.

Make that 3 .. so far

3 defeats in a row. Its a broken record but can't keep selling best players and expect to do well. Just hope we haven't over sold this time around.. slipping down the league.

Always was a great finisher.

ah... offside damn

I would say, we need to score first. But we've proven that makes no difference lately

Redmond .. no danger. Just doesn't seem to have the shot power or accuracy to place it properly. Hopefully he'll improve.

Good chance for Tadic.

Settled a bit now.

Back foot already. hopefully we can stay strong.

I do think think another manager could do much better. The heart and soul gets ripped out season after season without adequate replacement. Caught up with us now.

Need to take a step back and have a serious rethink about expectations for the season and our style of play now.
