I think you are saying that you thought Rondon was West Brom's best player and possibly the best player on the pitch (?). Fair enough, I guess I would probably say the same based on the fact he scored their goal, it was a good goal, and they were generally quite unremarkable apart from that. As I have already said, nobody "in a saints kit" particularly stood out. We won the game. The fact that West Brom may have had the best player on the pitch does not mean the best team lost the game.

Good post. Even though Pellegrino is a **** I think we may well scrape out of this mess.

Best team lost despite having ref on their side.

Nobody particularly stood out. Who would you say was West Brom's best player throughout the game?

OK I'll tell you. The best team did not lose. I'd say a draw would have probably been about right but if any team deserved to win the away team that dominated the first half, carved out a 2 nil lead and then held on despite being battered for most of the 2nd half was that team.

Ridiculously negative.

Silva. We should offer him £5 million to keep us up, he gets **** all if we go down. Short term contract to end of season, that's it unless both party's want to review the situation in the close season - totally get why the club may not want to take him on long term given his behaviour at Watford when Everton came calling. Not too sure how rich the fella is but wouldn't have thought he'd turn down the chance to enhance his reputation and earn a fortune in the process. FWIW I am aware that none of this is going to happen and have accepted we are run by a bunch of ****s.

How much longer will this torture go on? For the love of God why don't they get the **** rid of him, he is NEVER going to cut it.

Why did this so called fan wait until after we lost today to reveal this somewhat unlikely conversation?

Wince. Emotion of day leads to clumsy misnaming of manager.

C’mon Rog we’ve all had a difficult day. No need to start calling people ‘pal’ is there.

Oh ok, so he really TORE INTO them then. They’ll be scared to show their faces in training next week after that bollocking from this formidable rock of a manager!!!

Fair play. We CAN still get out of this (though I'm struggling to see how with popeye in charge). Keep the faith.

Roger, he's not a serious long term option is he but tbh I'm prepared to accept anyone atm who isn't Manuel Pellegrino.

Come on Doddy, don't let it get to you. It's only football and all that.

Who do you suggest then?

There isn't 'definitely a decent style of play in there somewhere for Pellegrino' or if there is the **** has taken far far too long to find out where it is. No excuses, he is a **** poor manager.

I'd just go for straightforward 'crap' at least in the 2nd half.

Exactly. If you haven't got the skill and ability to match the opposition the only weapon you've got is balls out blood and guts effort. There wasn't any.

That's my thinking. Jesus Christ that 2nd half was SO SO S H I T. We have no pace whatsoever, just so easy for Liverpool.

Do you really think that losing 2 nil to Liverpool is going to be the final nail in his coffin? Don't really add up does it when he's survived 1-4 against Leicester and 1-2 against Palace. They are actively going out of their way not to sack him so today ain't going to do it.

TBH this is just utter pedestrian **** and all set in a context of us 'fighting' for our lives. We have no pace whatsoever, so how the **** are we going to stretch any team let alone teams of Liverpool's quality?

Yes, and he was utter shyte as well.

He's been thrown to the wolves though. No way a senior centre back at this stage of his career but that's the role he's being asked to play. W@nker Les at fault again, never even a hint of us looking for another cb in the window despite the obvious need.
